Australian TV Exposes 'Stranded Polar Bear' Global Warming Hoax

Remember that wonderful picture of stranded polar bears on an ice floe that were used by folks like soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore to demonstrate how dire the man-made global warming issue is?Well, ABC television in Australia, on a show called “Media Watch,” recently debunked the entire issue (video available here, h/t NB member dscott).It turns out -- as NewBuster Jake Gontesky reported on March 20 --…

Open Thread Friday

Today's joke:A man walked into a bar one day, walked up to the bartender and said, "Bartender, I'd like to buy the house a round of drinks." The bartender said, "That's fine but I'll need to see some money first." The guy pulled out a huge wad of bills and set them on the bar. The bartender couldn't believe what he's seeing.

MSNBC's Jack Jacobs: 'Words Can't Express My Disgust' for Brit Captive

Air America's Disgraceful Interview with Jackie Mason

Last Friday, “The Young Turks” of Air America Radio invited comedian Jackie Mason on to discuss his new book. To say the least, hosts Cenk Uygur and Ben Mankiewicz displayed a level of rancor and invective that they should both be ashamed of (video available here).The discussion was so extraordinarily hostile that at one point, as the conversation moved to what Israel had offered former PLO…
