A Visit to "Hannity"
My wife and I recently had the privilege of meeting Sean Hannity and viewing a taping of Fox News Channel’s “Hannity.”
I don’t typically get all agog over celebrities and can’t say I was agog over Sean but I can say he wasn’t what we expected. We had expected a typical celeb–arrogant, stand-offish, obsessed with himself. Hannity was anything but. A friendly, down-to-earth guy, he sincerely welcomed us, affably thanked us for visiting his show, and treated us like family.
My son had met Sean before and wangled another invite for my wife and me, accompanied by him and his wife, to be in the audience during Thursday night’s taping during which he conducted a video interview with Governor Sarah Palin and featured my elevator buddy, Liz Cheney.
It should first be made clear in order to ward off a flood of requests to attend a taping by Hannity friends and foes that attendance is by invitation only–and the audience consisted, in our case, at least–of a total of four situated on a small platform some 20 feet away from the host and his guests.
Hannity doesn’t depend on an audience of hundreds applauding his every statement for his outstanding ratings and he doesn’t rely on sycophantic guests praising him to make him appear more popular than he is.
However, back to our visit. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=16583.)

New York City's Last Best Hope, Alec Baldwin
New York City's Last Best Hope, Alec Baldwin
The good news for Big Appleites is that Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner seems to be breathing his last as a New York congressman, unless that’s just his heavy breathing we’re hearing.
The whining wiener man is on the ropes but sticking to “principles” and his resolve, and to anything else available, and refusing to quit and turn in all his congressional perks and vain ambitions to succeed NYC Mayor Michael Boomboom Bloomberg.
Surely much to his egotistical, arrogant dismay, Weiner’s Dem close buddies have shown they are very ready, willing, and able to take his much-publicicized underpants and wrap them around his scrawny neck.
Liberal Noo Yawkers, as if there were any other kind, should not despair, though. Panting in the wings for his chance to ride into town is a new Democrat savior, none other than extreme Hollywood leftist, the totally unqualified, former Long Islander, part-time resident of NYC, Alec Rae Baldwin III.
Obviously discontented with the acting life and searching for a new gig, frustrated in his desire to become governor of New York State, Baldwin is now considering settling for mayor of New York City. If nothing else, Baldwin once had far better abs than Bloomberg and, in NYC, he could win the mayoralty on that basis alone.
Remember Jesse Ventura and Ahnold?
However, with that bod long gone, Alec has another significant plus going for him: He’s a star of stage. screen, and television and New York just loves stars, especially stars with his resume’ which includes two Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, and six Screen Actors Guild Awards. Most of his accolades came as a result of his starring role on the NBC sitcom, “30 Rock.”
Not known for being temperate, Baldwin has called former Vice President Dick Cheney a terrorist and has characterized conservative commentator Sean Hannity as ”a no-talent, ignorant fool,” . . .

White Privilege and Black Demands
White Privilege and Black Demands
A Minnesota school district, after laying off 94 teachers due to budget cuts, paid $160 per to send a group of teachers to a 3-day “White Privilege Conference” in Minneapolis focused on the proposition that America was ”built on the premise that the U.S. was started by white people for white people.”
Conference founder Eddie Moore Jr., PhD explained the purpose of the gathering. His screed reads like something out of the New Black Panther handbook.
“White supremacy, white privilege, racism and other forms of oppression,” he says, ”are designed for your destruction, designed to kill you, so what I want this conference to help people of color to understand is how that system works. How it can create little bitty things that add up, that cause hypertension . . . that cause you to maybe eat unhealthy [sic] or not exercise.”
Niger Innis, national spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality and Bucknell University professor James Peterson debated the fiscal propriety and rationale of the conference on FNC’s “Hannity.”
Sean Hannity called the expenditure in the face of $7 million school district cuts “outrageous.” Innis termed the misuse of taxpayer dollars for such a conference “absurd” and “disgusting” and decried the purpose of creating a sense of “victimization” among blacks. Peterson concurred with Moore’s contention that “white privilege” exists in America and that the conference represented a wise use of scarce school funds because blacks have different “concerns” than whites.
Innis stressed that Asian kids far outperform whites in schools . . .
