Hannity on McCain: "He’s Dead!"
At approximately 5:15pm on last evening’s edition of Sean Hannity’s radio show, broadcast on KSFO 560AM in the Bay Area, in the midst of a surprisingly light-hearted discussion with Terri Schiavo’s brother, Sean Hannity pronounced: “He’s dead!” Sean Faggity was referring to John McCain. He had just been made aware that the Republican (deemed moderate) [...]
One Day Down
After the first evening of basketball games, a.k.a. madness, I was 12-4, and unfortunately lost a fifth game (in the next round) after Alabama lost. 12 points out of a possible 16 ain’t bad. It will get worse… trust me.
March Madness Sets In
Alright, I am biased, I have Syracuse winning it all. My Final Four consists of Connecticut, Wake Forest, Syracuse and Arizona. My brackets, organized by region, are as follows (seed in parentheses). (Note: I consider an upset to be any space in the entire bracket where the highest-possible seed isn’t chosen. Does that make any [...]
Creepy Wordplay
If blogging was able to create a viable source of income, I could make a living off of the Bush press conferences. The transcripts are gold! I’m making that case to the people, and will continue to do so — in Florida on Friday, and then we’ll head out West from Crawford and then back [...]
The President Admits He Erred With Iraq War
President Bush unintentionally confessed to his greatest blunder this morning: rushing to war with Iraq over misconstrued and nonexistent threats of weapons of mass destruction. At today’s hastily called press conference, Bush was asked about the timetable for war in Iran, and Bush replied: “There a certain patience required in order to achieve a diplomatic [...]
Bush Stands Up (for comic relief)
The Washington Post is reporting that the president, the undisputed leader of the free world, is practicing his material on the road. To get to Livingston, you’ve got to go down the highway,” Bush says during a recent “town meeting” in Great Falls, Mont. “And you go through the cattle guard. And you turn left. [...]
Look Ma, No Ads
Welcome to the new reycorp blog, er, I mean, rey on the hill. That is right; although there may be a few glitches along the way (e.g., if gobbeldy-gook comes across the screen, please reload the page; if the problem persists, trust me that I am trying to fix it), the blog is now titled [...]
The 700 Club Is Not Good With Numbers
The Christian Broadcasting Network, or CBN (funny, I always thought that CBN was for the dyslexic viewers of Seinfeld and Law & Order; I guess I was wrong), reported on a bill in Congress that would axe RU-486, the so-called “abortion drug.” Correspondent David Brody asserted: “The co-sponsor list is growing on this bill, including [...]
Don’t be afraid
This site, without notice, will be going under massive changes. In fact, it has already started. (1) New host. ReyCorp.com, the parent site for reycorp blog, has struck a deal with a new hosting service. That is great news, as more control and more options will lead to better content. (2) New name. reycorp blog [...]
Fox News faux news, what a surprise…
What a goddamn surprise! Fox News is not news; it is opinion. A study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism released its findings today, stating that Fox News, more than any other cable news network, projects opinions more than facts in their newscasts. (Well, I’ll be…) And that the material broadcast as news on [...]
Phew!
On this past Sunday’s edition of Meet the Press, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice stated that she will not seek the presidency in 2008. Well, shouldn’t we be relieved? I mean, why was she even asked such a preposterous question? Image: MSNBC Ms. Rice is the person who people rightfully conclude should be considered a [...]

Hillbilly of Terror
Coming across inaccurate, unintelligible, or complete outrageous statements made by lunatics on the right on the web is not news. It certainly is not uncommon. But sometimes… you just have to laugh. While researching (that post still to come) I came across a web-site titled, “Young Elephant,” a site devoted to the future hitlers of [...]
Annoyingly Anointing
Bush is taking this “born-again” bullshit too seriously. (And too far.) Image: Yahoo! Ask her is she’s for your idea of Social Security reform. You know, it’s similar to the reform you applied to funding of schools. Yea, you reduced it… You can’t leave a child behind if there is no school to attend.
Maybe we should refer to him as Michael (Bolton)
A fundamental question has been raised concerning John Bolton’s nomination to Ambassador to the United Nations: Is there such a thing as the U.N.? In 2000, [John] Bolton said, “If I were doing the Security Council today, I’d have one permanent member [the United States] because that’s the real reflection of the distribution of power [...]

Goodbye, Old Friend…
Yesterday, we said goodbye to our favorite news anchor. It happened too soon, I say. (Now what will all the right-wing fanatics have to complain about? I guess Bob Schieffer or Peter Jennings… Certainly not Brian Williams.) And with no surprise, Dan signed off from his post just as he reported the news this last [...]
The GOP says the darndest things…
“We don’t do Lincoln Day Dinners in South Carolina. [...] It’s nothing personal, but it takes awhile to get over things.” – Sen. Lindsey Graham, explaining that, in his opinion, South Carolina is still reeling from the Emancipation Proclamation. Source: Center for American Progress And we thought he was one of the “good” (read: less [...]
Media Bias
Some may say there is no media bias, and at times, I am one of them. When people on the right (I call them “idiots”) scream and shout that the New York Times, the Washington Post, or worse, I guess, CBS News, portrays a Republican or a conservative idea in bad light, and that that [...]
