Tucker Carlson, the media provocateur and recovering bow-tie wearer, has launched a new Controversy in this week of otherwise slow news.

Michael Vick and his Dogged Co-dependents
How annoying and frightening that the President of the United States would take the time to call a professional football team owner to praise the hiring of a convicted felon/dog torturer like Michael Vick. It was reported this week by  Sports  Illustrated’s Peter King that President Obama called Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeff Lurie to praise the team’s acquisition of Michael Vick. (neither Obama nor his handlers reported the story, they did confirm it later.) Here’s h...

Examining Tucker Carlson and PETA on Michael Vick
"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." Before Michael Vick started winning games for the Philadelphia Eagles this year, last year (when the Eagles shocked the world by signing him right before the start of the 2009 season), he received a firestorm of negative comments from regular folks, pet owners and wacky Leftist Animal Rights Activists alike. Many members of the group PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said Vick should h...

Tucker Carlson: Michael Vick Should Have Been Executed
When I first read about this clip, I figured Carlson was just being droll. He's a droll guy. But not only hasn't he walked the comment back, but The Daily Caller is promoting the clip on its front page. Which is to say that The Daily Caller is trumpeting the idea that its founder believes the government should kill a man because he was cruel to his animals. For the record, I'm a dog lover. I'm okay with state laws against Dog Fighting. (And I realize and concede this is probably inconsistent wi...

Tucker Carlson-brand Christianity promotes vengeance over love
When Jesus confronted his enemies, the people who he knew would kill him, he not only forgave them, but took a moment at one point to heal one of them, a guard wounded during Jesus' arrest. Often when Jesus' modern-day followers confront people they don't like, they are apt to behave in a less forgiving manner.  Last night , on the FoxNews "Hannity" program, substitute host Tucker Carlson, who has gotten lots of second (and subsequent) chances in a checkered broadcasting career, took the op...

Tucker Carlson: 'I think Michael Vick Should Be Executed'
This was trending on Twitter yesterday, and now at Politico, "Tucker Carlson: Michael Vick 'should have been executed'" (via Memeorandum): And the comments from BooMan: When I found out that Tucker Carlson was impersonating Keith Olbermann in emails to Stu Bykovsky, I thought the proper punishment should probably be death. I mean, I am fervently into second chances and I think forgiveness is super-important, but a society that can't kill its sockpuppets and email impersonators is a society tha...

Tucker Carlson is Correct. Animal Cruelty Should be an Execution-Worthy Offense
That hat is photoshopped on, btw. That’s Maura, the third member of the Swindle-Bey household. She brings nothing to the table except unconditional love and affection. That’s what dogs do.

Eagles v.Vikings, Tuesday, December 28, 2010 Stud of the week: ... ... ... Damn. Even David Akers missed a field goal. Even Sav Rocca had a bad punt.

We're probably not going to be talking about retiring his number in 10 years or anything, but you gotta love the little guy anywa...

PMSNBC Host Asks Why Tucker Carlson Isnt Calling For Palins Execution
