McCain and the Media

Has anybody else noticed a slight change in the media's voice towards McCain in the last week? Just weeks ago the liberal media was eating up "Juan Amnesty" McCain as a "great candidate" and "our Republican choice for president." McCain received a number of endorsements from liberal powerhouses, including the media such as NY Times and L.A. Times.

I can definitely see why the liberals would want John as the GOP nominee-it would make two liberals running for president. The morning after Romney suspended his campaign the liberal media immediately shifted focus towards the negative side of McCain. Many negative articles and editorials were published and are still being published with titles such as "The Real John McCain" and "McCain Should be Feared" revealing dirt (yet true) on "Juan".

It's obvious that the liberals feared Romney would be a tough candidate for the Dems to overcome so they endorsed McCain knowing that he, in reality, is one of them anyway. Now that Mitt's out, it's all unfolding just as the liberals have planned for many months now and the true colors of the media's superficial endorsements are bright.

p.s. Some say the above cartoon is a depiction of McCain in 10 years. I say it looks pretty good as a current one... How 'bout those cheeks Tanya!

Jazz = Good

Amidst a week of political turmoil and stress, how about some positive news on another note. The Jazz are on an NBA-high winning streak of 10 games, have climbed to number 2 on the NBA Hollinger Power Rankings, and have risen to the top of the Midwest.


They have been playing extremely well (not to mention quite entertaining and no, I don't mean Korver's looks). I attribute this spark and turnaround to many factors, but more specifically, to the acquirement of "Ashton" Kyle Korver. The trade provided the Jazz with a heck of a shooter and a spark of enthusiasm and optimism that has lead them to the top of the Midwest Division and championship contenders. Before Korver, the Jazz were 16-16, treading water at .500. Since getting Korver, the Jazz are 16-2, 32-18 overall.

I am extremely positive about the Jazz right now and I know I am getting ahead of myself when I say this, but I am getting whiffs of ten years ago...only all the way this time.
