The Presidential Town Hall-An On The Fly Report

Hi There. I am attempting to write this post live while the debate is actually happening and trying my best to write my impressions and responses to questions and answers as they are actually happening….so lets get to it….
The live presidential debate was a town hall style event, moderated my NBC’s Tom Brokaw, and in [...]

Guilt By Association?

As already noted, Barack Obama and 60’s activist William ( Bill ) Ayers would meet better than twenty years later, about school reform in a Chicago skyscraper.
Is this ” Guilt by Association? “
You bet it is, and aren’t the conservative talk show hosts and the candidate running for vice president just chomping at the bit [...]

The Presidential Debates-McCaine VS Obama Round Two

Tonight we get to see round two of what will surely be prime-prime time viewing in this presidential race.
I will be watching the debate and either have a report later tonight or tomorrow night depending on my schedule and how I’m feeling.
But let me just state right now…if you are undecided at this point in [...]

Here is a quick link

Here is a quick link to a blog titled Demabloguery me baby

Do Conservatives have a Political Agenda?

Do Conservatives have a Political Agenda?
I ask this question more in the rhetorical vein due to what I have heard almost all of this year…
I have heard a term used by most conservative talk show hosts on the radio for most of this year when speaking of the Democrats and that term is Political Expediency…
And [...]

Are you kidding me?

I haven’t written a post on Burn The Candle for a long time, but what I heard reported in the news yesterday deserves an Angry Post.
Reported on talk radio station WABC by some reporter, ” George Bush wants to raise an ADDITIONAL 30 BILLION DOLLARS to help the African country of Darfur and to help [...]

Virginia Tech-A consequence of the right to bear arms.

I haven’t looked at a lot of other people’s posts about the tragedy that is Virginia Tech. One caught my eye thou, written by Sigmund, Carl, & Alfred.
The title, ” Why are there piles of bodies at Virginia Tech ” talks about the epidemic of violence in our schools and broaches the subject of guns [...]

Fired! CBS Radio Fires Don Imus!

Okay, this is the third piece on the I-Man that I have wrote over a two day period, and now I’m pissed!
Al Sharpton has finally done it!
He has circumvented the constitution, and he didn’t even have to go to court to do it!
Watch what you say tomorrow at your job, at Shoprite, at your local [...]

Canned! MSNBC drops Imus!

Nothing like standing by your man.
MSNBC caves into the pressure and cancels Imus in the Morning from their television programming schedule.
Personally, I am just in awe at the amount of outrage that this incident has generated…and most of it perpetuated by Al Sharpton, who if a black rapper had said something derogatory about another human [...]

Imus Suspended!

As I stated in yesterday’s post, I don’t listen to the I Man, with any regularity, but the last couple of days I have been listening in on my daily drive to hell, oopps I meant work ( same thing ) and I have to say that Don sounds genuinely distressed over these comments.
Quite frankly, [...]
