I haven't been up to writing lately, despite having so many things to write about, but this one is short if not sweet --
MSNBC (Miserable Stalinist Nasties Boosting Communism) announced that commentor Mark Halprin has been suspended for pointing out that President BO was a bit of a d_ck (no quacking) at his recent press conference. Actually, if you read a transcript of what he said at the presser, Halprin was right. If you watched the press conference, you really need to find something more worthwhile to do. Life is too short to spend time watching BO BS. (Anyway, I don't remember MSNBC suspending Keith Olbermann for his on-air tirade against Scott Brown just before he won the Midnight Diver's old Senate seat from Massachusetts. See http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2010/01/18/olbermann-scott-browns-irresponsible-homophobic-racist-teabagging-sup.)
I can't shake this feeling that Halprin was suspended not for being uncivil on MSNBC, but for being truthful on it.
