It’s CPAC plus one week and after shooting over 100 pices of
video scheduled as posts over a two week period and with my youngest’s school
schedule giving him Mon & Wed off till summer I actually had time to
solicit my radio show door to door in person in Concord Ma this week.
I know in theory someone should be selling this for me and
I’m constantly on the lookout for people willing to do commission sales for me
but there is something about important and special about doing the work
yourself, meeting people and talking your show and web site, nobody knows your
show or business like you do and it’s good for people to see the host of the
show in person.
If you have a business I
strongly suggest you devote at least a few days a year to getting out and
meeting your customers or potential customers in person, you won’t regret it.
Some things are just so ridiculous that you have to see them
to believe them. Al Sharpton hitting
people for anti-Semitism is a great example
@bethanyshondark @amandacarpenter Al Sharpton cries #antisemitism on @morning_joe Heads must be exploding in #newyork @yidwithlid#tcot#p2

Yid with lid’s head didn’t explode but Jeff did comment:
When
people falsely use terms like Antisemitism, ESPECIALLY when they are
anti-Semitic haters like Al Sharpton, it waters down the effect of what should
be a horrible label.
Al
Sharpton has no right to determine what is anti-Semitic, but as a Jew who has
faced Antisemitism many times during his life..I do. People who are
fighting for the Second Amendment, like me for example, are not doing so
because of Jew hatred.
Al
Sharpton, the MSNBC broadcaster/professional agitator who used the term
this morning is an Anti-Semite of the worst kind.
It’s amazing what you can get
away with if you have the gumption to do it:
If you ever question Glenn Reynolds deserved the lifetime
achievement award for blogging at CPAC
consider that it takes 4 bloggers to replace him on his site when he
goes on vacation.
Stacy McCain continues to be busy, he is now Editor in Chief
of a new site Viral Read which combines
both cultural news and political news.
(This BTW is an excellent idea, we need to be part of the bigger culture
if we are going to win) but he is also on the road again heading
down to SC-1 to cover the Sanford Bostic GOP primary.
Mark Sanford’s history makes him a kamikaze choice for the
GOP. Even if he wins both the primary
and the general election the GOP loses, meanwhile Bostic has already been endorsed by both Rick
Santorum and Ann Coulter.
If I was a democrat I’d be shoveling money to the Sanford
campaign and readying mailings attacking Bostic ASAP they would rather avoid
facing a Marine with Deployments to Kuwait & Saudi Arabia than a pol whose
most famous deployment was to
Argentina.

A few months ago I interviewed some writers who were big Dr.
Who fans. It appeared that there were
two distinct Dr. Who cultures. Guys like
me, the straight guys into history & SF and a very liberal subculture full
of Gay men who absolutely adored the series.
This came to mind with the daily mail story concerning John
Nathan Turner producer of Dr. Who who took over for the last Tom Baker season
and presided over it’s steady decline and
cancellation.
The BBC faces a new sex scandal
over claims two senior Doctor Who staff abused their positions to exploit fans.
A book alleges the show’s
longest-serving producer, John Nathan-Turner, and his partner, production
manager Gary Downie, preyed on young male fans in the 1980s.
Many of the men, the book says,
were under 21 – at the time the homosexual age of consent.
I guess that explains why the series had its decline, the producer had other things on their mind. It took a lot of years for this stuff to get out to the public, if only a Catholic Priest was involved perhaps it might have generated some interest before now.
BTW this
weekend I’ll have the pleasure of both the new 50th anniversary
special with the 3rd Doctor and the new season with Matt Smith. For all the talk of the Gay fan subculture
without them I wouldn’t be enjoying both of these series this weekend.
I wonder if they had time to film anything with Caroline
Jones (Liz Shaw) before her death last year?
While the
MSM is all Gay Marriage all the time Dave Weigel (one of my guests on DaTechGuy
on DaRadio last week) pointed out something that is a sore
spot for me:
The new Democratic advocates for SSM fall
into two camps. The first consists of people who always liked the idea of this
but worried about losing national elections. In his memoir, Democratic
consultant Bob Shrum remembers John Kerry fretting that the Massachusetts
Supreme Court had forced Democrats to talk about gay marriage before they were
ready to. "Why couldn't they just wait a year?" he asked Shrum,
mournfully. The second camp consists of people who really do oppose the idea of
gay people getting married. Republicans argued that this second camp was tiny,
and that liberals were hiding behind it. They were right!
The “We
don’t need a constitutional Amendment” has been and always was a lie, and the
democrat party that has always been beholding to the entertainment and media
industries in which the homosexual community is highly overrepresented while
believing Christians are highly unrepresented
The left
is the secular party; Christianity and traditional values are the enemy. I recognized it almost 20 years ago, it
remains to be seen when everyone else will get it.

This is
Holy week the most sacred time in the Church’s calendar. A lot of people think that Christmas is the
holiest day of the year, and some think Easter but Good Friday and the Easter
Vigil beat them both. The Easter Vigil
mass is a minimum 3 hours and can run 4-5 depending on the number of people
joining the church that day.
A lot of
people don’t realize it but the Catholic Church
is very serious about adult and family conversions. You don’t just get baptized it takes a fair
amount of time, preparation and study to join the church. I think this is why converted adults tend to
be stronger and more knowledgeable about the faith than cradle Catholics, they
HAVE to learn the faith to become a part of it.
It
appears the Boston Red Sox streak of sellouts is going to end this year. The Sox have a 6 state customer base, one of
the most historic franchise in the nation and a ballpark that is not only one
of the smallest in the majors but is itself an attraction in itself.
"It's going to rest in peace sometime
in April, I suspect," Lucchino said of the streak, which began in 2003 and
is the longest in U.S. pro sports history. "That's not such a terrible
thing. It's an extraordinary accomplishment."
But even
that isn’t enough if you don’t put a worthwhile product on the field. Or the fact that it is prohibitively
expensive for a family of four to attend a game. 4 tickets in the nosebleed seats run $120 (if you shift to the bleachers the
price drops to a mere $112). If you want
to sit other than in nosebleed land in left field you will pay over $200 and
that’s without the premium you pay
That
doesn’t count parking, hotdogs or drinks, or a program. In an economy where people are making half or
less than what they were making 4 or 6 years ago
On the
bright side so many people have fled NE the Red Sox can be sure that no matter
what park they play New England expatriates who likely couldn’t afford good Red
Sox seat will be in the stands to cheer.
You might
leave to find a job but Red Sox fans never leave their team behind.
Happy
Easter all.
