Once upon a time, it meant something for a reporter to be called a “Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.” The prestige of this designation is quickly eroding. The 2012 Pulitzer Prizes looked lesslike an excellence-in-media competition and more like an exercise in leftist self-affirmation. No prize established this more strongly than the coveted National Reporting prize going to...The Huffington Post.
"The Pulitzer judges who would rather swallow rat poison than give an award to a conservative outlet like The Washington Times are bestowing kudos on a site that thrives on celebrity dreck like “Miley Shows Off Legs in Lacy Shorts” and “Kim Wears Kanye’s Initials on Her Ears.”

To say nothing about those "awarded" to Al Bore and Hussein The Usurper for something or other...nothing real or meaningful in any case.
Have a nice day. Remember to vote for NoBama in Nov and for any noobie running for Congress regardless of party.
lkeithlu -- Well, the post was more gender-specific than either chauvinistic or sexist...men, after all, do not menstruate and do not suffer PMS [directly, anyway. What man has not suffered from "second-hand smoke"?]
Actually, I thought the remark you made was a bit beneath you...but everyone has a bad day on occasion.
Speaking of the media [which no one was] this just in:
-- President Obama and the media have lambasted Rush Limbaugh for supposedly insulting a “private citizen” in the Sandra Fluke affair. Obama said, “We want to send a message to all our young people being part of a democracy involves argument and disagreements and debate. We want you to be engaged. And there's a way to do it that doesn't involve you being demeaned and insulted. Particularly when you're a private citizen.”
-- The leftist media parroted Obama’s remarks. David Brock, the founder of Media Matters, led the way, explaining, “Unlike his attacks on NOW or Fox, Fluke is a private citizen.”
-- Not really. According to the Supreme Court in Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc. (1974), public figures include those who “have thrust themselves into the forefront of particular public controversies in order to influence the resolution of the issues involved … they invite attention and comment.”
-- This, of course, is precisely what Fluke did.
-- But even if liberals ignore the legal definition of who constitutes a private citizen and maintain that Fluke was, indeed, a private citizen, on what basis are Rush’s remarks condemned while Bill Maher’s vitriolic invective about Sarah Palin is dismissed? Palin was just as much a private citizen as Fluke; she was no longer governor of Alaska.
-- But, liberals claim, Palin was involved in politics and may want to run for office in the future. Ladies and gentlemen, please meet the new possible candidate for public office, Sandra Fluke:
"Numerous American women have actually written to me in the last few weeks saying that I should run for office, and maybe someday I will."

Great post up there.
Having lived through those days, everything you said was accurate. [The tough year was 1958 when the economy tanked.] Gas during the annual price wars was as low as 18.9 cents a gallon...I even bought $.50 worth one time just to get home -- it took most of the 2.5 gallons I bought. Minimum wage [in Calif] was $1.25 so I could buy about 6 gallons for 1 hours work; today, I would work about 3 hours for that same 6 gallons. One thing much better today -- cars run forever with minimal care.
Then we entered the 60s and we began learning what "tanked" really meant when a nation's mores began its long, long fall -- until we reach today. I think Nov will determine if the fall continues or not. But, in any case, it has been a great trip and I wouldn't have missed it for anything. Pity what we have done to our children, though.
alpo -- Here's how it is, alboy. You are envious and green with envy and, yes, hatred for those military retirees who made good life-decisions and took care of their families [and still are] while you made poor life decisions and failed to take care of your family...meanwhile blaming everyone else for your shortcomings. Typical Progressive.
This has embittered you toward those who did better...
Change that name plate to "Obama White House" and the "Out" contents to...say...Jobs, Crony Payoffs, Illegal Immigration, Massive Debt, Out-of-Control Justice Department, ObamaCare, etc., and voila! A winner!
Oh yes, alpo. Free lifelong medical care was considered part of my salary package.
It remains to be seen whether Barack The Usurper will honor that package; although, considering his detestation of our military forces [much the same as the attitude you hold], I am not holding my breath.
alpo -- I have all the right in the world to "dictate" anything I want to you or anyone else. It is called "free speech"...something you obviously, by that comment, personally detest.
By the way, you have the right to ignore my "dictates" to you...which you simply cannot, can you?
Good thing I did a search for "rola", otherwise I wouldn't even have seen your comment since you chose to bury it to hide from me. Yeah, true LibTard.

lkeithlu -- Your PMS is showing.
Reminds me of the old joke --
Woman on trial for killing her husband.
Judge asked her why she did it.
Her answer was that she was flowing heavy, her hair was a mess, and he said the wrong thing...so she shot him.
The judge understood perfectly, rapped her gavel and dismissed the case.
[Chauvinistic perhaps, but only if stating a fact can be considered as such.]
