The Launch of MEDIA BITCH!

Hey, it’s Media Bitch here! Check out my pic, warts and all. I’m the real deal. I’m here to tell your miserable story to the world.

And there is no doubt that Dr. Dao’s egregious mistreatment at the hands of airline officials will result in his receiving a HUGE financial settlement. But most consumer violations aren’t like that!

But not long ago I was driving with my 9-year-old nephew to an odd part of town, not North West towards Denver like I usually gravitate ---ebb and flow,...


Liberal, Conservative, Reactionary (A Tutorial)

So, the labels “Liberal,” “Conservative,” and “Reactionary” are regularly  bandied about and employed like edged weapons.  There seems to be no stronger epithet these days, one of these labels in the hands of an adversary.  But, let’s spend a moment examining each of them.

A Liberal, according to Webster, is someone open to new behaviors or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.
