The monthlies.

• (Un)Reliable Sources

  How is it that CNN can post on their website, CNN.com, that the parents of Terri Schiavo “were with their daughter’s body and praying,” and Fox News can declare on their website that the “parents were denied access to daughter’s bedside in final hours?” Who is right? Without a doubt, the staff at Fox News [...]

• Evil David Boies

  Is it true? Did I actually hear David Boies, the man who argued for Gore in the monumental Bush v. Gore Supreme Court case in 2000, on the Sean Faggity radio show? Is he really arguing that there is a fundamental right for parents to feed their children? What is that? Aren’t there limitations to [...]

• Mackris v. O’Reilly, p. 83

  Keith Olberman (Countdown, MSNBC) has a continually-updated segment unofficially titled, “the self-destruction of Bill O’Reilly.” Well, let me assist in the self-destruction… Image: The Smoking Gun

• Mr. Belvedere

  A recent blog-entry of mine mentioned Three’s Company as being on the mind of Terri Schiavo and a reader called on the fact that the timing of the show was off. I posted a comment to that blog-entry responding to my error, and I add the following image for clarity. Image: unknown

• Un-Intelligent Life

  It is so beautiful when the ignorant realize they are so. A fight of over the irresponsible instruction of creationism (or intelligent life, as they call it now-a-days; e.g., estate tax is now “death tax;” nice touch) at schools in a little town in Pennsylvania (and Pennsylvania is one of the good states) has given [...]

• News, or Fox News?

  There he is. Sean Faggity. In front of the hospice that Terri Schiavo is lying in. Slowly dying. Peacefully. Her husband by her side. “And next…” Sean Faggity begins his lead-in to the commercial break. Oh boy. What does he have now? A rumor that Terri Schiavo in the last week has communicated to the [...]

• DeLay the Despicable

  You have probably heard about Tom DeLay politicizing the Terri Schiavo case in a speech to the Family Research Council recently. Well I was finally able to find a transcript. I provide it here in full, instead of editing and gathering the most incendious comments, since the entire speech reveals the fear, guile, and distrust [...]

• And Finally… Nine-Eleven

  On today’s edition of the Brian Sussman radio show, on the great station of KSFO 560AM in the Bay Area, a caller finally revealed the politicization of the tragic Terri Schiavo family story by the religious right-wing fanatics. While first mentioning that the Democrats are going to hell for their “inaction,” the caller wondered what [...]

• My (Updated) Living Will

  Dear friends- I would like to take this opportunity, now that we are all together, to express my wishes if things go sour from this day forward. I would like you, my family, immediate and distant, my friends, old, current, and random, my employer and fellow employees, to spare no expense in prolonging my life. [...]

• Ignoble Doctor

  When I heard that Sean Faggity was going to be talking with a Nobel prize-nominated physician regarding Schiavo’s condition, I was thinking that maybe the far-right was finally getting somewhere. Because why else would a Nobel-nominated doctor discuss such an issue unless he was absolutely sure about his prognosis. Or, maybe he actually wasn’t nominated. [...]

• Texas v. Schindler

  The Schindler family is in the midst of a court case against their son-in-law, their daughter’s husband, Michael Schiavo. You may have heard of this. The case may be heard next by the U.S. Supreme Court. President Bush, earlier this week, signed a bill into law forcing the federal judicial system to get involved. Appropriately, [...]

• Cheney Regulates the Afterlife

  During a meering at the Orange County Register, Cheney discussed the life and death, literally, ramifications of the Terri Schiavo case. “She has become an important symbol. This is an area of considerable debate in this country, the whole notion of the culture of life, what kind of regard we should have for human life [...]

• Googling "Sean Faggity"

  Of course we meant Sean Hannity? What other tool could we be googling?

• The Sean Faggity Show

  Why is it that Sean Faggity requires callers to start the conversation with “Sean, you are a great American?” Does he need reassurance of his patriotism daily in order to not go, say, postal? And do the callers actually think this way? I mean, what exactly has he done? Firstly, he is a pussy. I [...]

• Those Damn Death Democrats

  Listening to my favorite radio program on the way into work this morning, I don’t know the title, let me call it “3 Wacks,” on my favorite radio channel in the Bay Area, KSFO 560AM, home of the Sean Faggity show, a great idea was examined. Death democrats. You see, death democrats are those who [...]

• 65 points in the hole

  Okey, so if you were aware of my NCAA Tounament picks, you know I did not fare well. In fact, picking Syracuse, my bracket was completely devastated. In choosing Syracuse to win it all, and being that they fell in the first round, I lost 65 points (out of a possible 192). That is more [...]

• Happy Fifth, ReyCorp.com

  ReyCorp.com, the parent site for reyonthehill, is celebrating its 5th year since the “official” launch of the site on March 20, 2000. A lot has changed and things only look to get better with all the improvements being made. Look towards a revamped main site, continued improvement of reyonthehill and other sites, and a focus [...]

• Let It Be

  I don’t mean to be completely insensitive, and if you find this post utterly reprehensible, you are proabably one of those wackos. Let her die. This is what she wanted and if it weren’t for those damn right-wing nuts, you know those who fight for small government daily, she would be with the lord now, [...]
