Personal Asides: Bernie Stone on Sunday’s “Shootout” with Russ Stewart…Jesse Jackson’s Sidestep on “Hymietown”…Liberals to Use Imus as Pretext…Pop Song Trivia Contest.

Bernie Stone.

Sunday’s “Shootout” will feature Russ Stewart giving his predictions of how the aldermanic runoffs will come out…and Bernie Stone, alderman of the 50th who will talk to us on the phone from a large coffee reception in his ward.

Hymietown.

Take a read of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson’s response to his own charge of Hymietown made against Jews nationally and Jews in New York. This is the slickest change of subject I have ever heard. I’m indebted to Zay Smith of the popular “Sun-Times” column QT (for Quick Takes) for this reproduction of the Jackson colloquy with Meredith Vieira of NBC-TV’s “Today Show.”

Asked how he equated Don Imus’ “nappy-headed hos” reference to his earlier reference to Hymietown, Jackson said:

“Well, if it’s repetitious and if it’s a pattern that is one question but the broader context here, I must say, is Shaquanda Cotton being sent to jail for seven years for pushing a hall monitor: We come out of March Madness with all the blacks on the basketball court…”

How’s that for a hard-hitting responsive answer?

Liberals to Use Imus as Pretext.

Anyone who has been following the Don Imus show knows that he has been an equal opportunity insulter of basic values. For example, repeatedly on the show his producer has uttered the expression “I hate Jesus Christ!” Nothing happened to him at any point although assuredly if he had insulted Muhammad there would have been literal hell to pay.

Now liberals are taking advantage of the egregious insult to a black basketball team to put an anti-white wing spin to it, talking about the need to shut down so-called “hate radio.” This would be advantageous if indeed they capture the presidency and the power to appoint the chairman of the FCC. Expect that the so-called and mis-named “Fairness Doctrine’ might return which mandates equal time given to all points of view—which means that in the absence of anyone able enough to match a Limbaugh or Medved on the air, the Limbaugh and Medved shows would be shut down in the interest of, ahem, “fairness.”

Pop Song Trivia Contest.

Here is a snatch of lyric from a popular song that Frank Nofsinger will know (no search engine please):

As we eye/ The blue horizon’s bend/ Earth and sky/ Appear to meet and end/ But it’s merely an illusion/ Like your heart and mine/ There is no sweet conclusion.


The name of the song and who made it popular?

  1. A Liberal ( hey boys and girls rememeber John Lindsay-R.NYC?)is someone who actually enjoys paying blackmail money to any hustler and the Progressive is the one who convinces the Liberal that it's 'really a great idea' to do so.

  3. Tom-
    You pitched a slider with that one. Don't have a clue. Sounds like something Rudy Vallee would warble- ?

  4. Did you invite Bernie Stone's competition Naisy Dolar on your show? I think the 50th Ward runoff is going to be one of the more interesting races coming up.

    Your fellow blogger BigDog offers a bit of insight into this critical matter:

  6. The song is "I Can Dream Can't I" made famous by Patty Andrews of the Andrews sisters.

    Remember when the Lawrence Welk Show was on the air and how it was attacked by the cultural elite critics of the day? But then an article came out called, " No one likes Lawrence Welk, but the Public!" Who are these elites who think they can dictate politially correct "taste" to the rest of us? Just look at the popular musical wastland today! Rap music, Goth music, Heavy Metal, and on. So popular music has gone down the toilet bowl because it is claimed that the advertisers want to target that "prime demographic" between the ages 20 and 35. Anything older is scrapped because it is said to only relate to the older people who are not buying anything except grave plots.
    And thus the culture of the country is only paper thin.

    But look at the lyrics of the current music. Look at WICKED that so called broadway hit that celebrates the witches of Oz. Look at Harry Potter, the child's primer to witchcraft. But that is OK along! I say it is SICK and decadent just as decadent as Berlin was in 1930. Sometimes you should study the cultural situation in Berlin in the late 1920's were restaurants featured live sex acts, nude dancing on broken glass, where the shows were completely nude, and drugs and prostitution was rampant. To the "elite" it was called Devine Decadence..... well it didn't last very long! It seems that a country is always near its end when such garbage becomes the norm. And when that happens WE ALL end up as victims!!!!
