This is a “Guerilla”

This is a “Gorilla”

Heavyweight tennis sports announcer Doug Adler, late of ESPN, was fired last month as a result of yet another example of what happens when political correctness bumps into head-shaking ignorance. It seems that Mr. Adler, while calling the match at the Australian Open, referred to the in-your-face play of Venus Williams as using the “guerilla effect.” Unbeknownst to the unwashed masses, apparently, Adler was using a common term to describe aggressive tennis tactics that dates back to the 1995 “Guerilla Tennis” Nike commercial starring tennis legends Agassi and Sampras.  No matter that it was an accurate and appropriate use of the term, Adler had unwittingly stepped on a PC land mine.
That darling of the free press, the New York Times, tweeted that Adler had called Williams a “gorilla,” which was an “appalling” term that “ignited the flames of hate and anger.” It went viral, of course, and with demands for Adler’s racist head flooding the airwaves, ESPN fired Adler within two days.  (And you thought witch-burning was passé…….)
Adler is now suing ESPN for wrongful termination, among other things.  Give that man a banana.

Blood in the water

February 14, 2017 by admin 28 Comments

The hasty resignation (read “you’re fired ! “) of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, following his public admission that he had “inadvertently” briefed Vice President Pence with “incomplete information” on his calls with the Russian ambassador, is blood red meat for rapacious Democrats. (And rightly so, because there are many troubling aspects about this unmitigated JV team fiasco.)
While the precise content of Flynn’s communications is presently undisclosed, and the source from which the disclosure was made is for the moment undiscovered, there is probably nothing more suicidal a staffer can do than betray the trust of Donald Trump. 
The pack of media and congressional sharks that have been circling the White House since January 20, waiting for the first scent of blood, are churning the water into a foam of frenzy.
Mr. President, it looks like you’re going to need a bigger boat.
