Very Stupid Things!

I just read an article about Obama and how he became unpopular. The article, and the comments that followed afterward, were just stupid! Very, very stupid! I am not going to go into all of the things the article touched on, but I will say this. Bush was in office for 8 years. It took [...]

I thought I had seen it all - or very close to all. The Associated Press reminded me this morning that I have not seen it all. I woke up this morning and followed my daily routine of reading through the news in the US and around the world. I discovered that 6 children drowned [...]

I just read a statement attributed to Senator Robert Ford that I think is very stupid. Here is what he was quoted as saying.
“Vic Rawl had money, but he didn’t have enough. He wasn’t able to identify himself with black voters,” Ford said. “No white folks have an ‘e’ on the end of Green. The [...]

I’m upset - again! I came across a news story on a local online news site. Clicking the story sent me over to the website of a news station. This station has done something that I consider highly offensive. Listen to the story and tell me what you think.

I don’t know what to think about main stream media. If you watch the news, you see people missing all of the time. However, it has started to occur to me that the media is HEAVILY biased against non-white people when reporting a missing case. Why is this? This seems so bizarre to me. Why [...]

I was watching the news recently and another young woman was listed as missing. The young lady is from Seattle, Washington.

I know that there are important things going on in the world of entertainment, but imagine my surprise when I went to Google news and saw an article stating that Brangelina should address rumors of their break up. How sick is that? With all of the disastrous things going on in the world, is this [...]

I have come across a very, very strange thing today. There was a story on People.com about Elin Nordegren, the wife of Tiger Woods, yet there were very few comments on the story. Of those comments, the majority were well written, contained correct spelling and offered logical responses to the subject. I gasped! I read [...]

I’m doing it again. I’m posting about some superfluous bullshit when there are more important things in the world. In my defense, I will make two points. First, this is my blog so I can say whatever I want to say and two, I think the fact that the New York Daily News is upset [...]

I recently came across a story about a missing woman named Maria Fernandez that really made me think about how we cover missing person stories in the United States. If you are a US citizen and you aren’t a teen, I’m sure you remember Susan Smith. Susan Smith was a South Carolina mother who told [...]
