Climategate versus Journalism

It has been about 3 weeks since the whistleblower (unlike the New York Times*, I believe that the person who posted the emails was a whistleblower and not a hacker) uploaded the emails to the web and apart from a few reports from various news organizations (especially that one named after a wiley critter) noone has mentioned the story. I thought it was the job of reporters to report the news? Instead we are focusing on Mr. Woods supposed trangressions. Another area the press is giving 24/7 continous coverage is how the newspapers are requiring a bailout themselves. So instead of covering the real news of the day, the major papers are no better than the tabloids that they make fun of. And they want my money to boot! I have nothing personal against newspapers, but come on. If you want people to buy your product, than make it relevent. I read Times of London and the Daily Telegraph online because I no longer live in the U.K. Other than those newspaper, I no longer read the newspaper, not even the local newspaper. Reason is that for the most part, newspapers are sycophants to usually their liberal masters, they lost how to be unbaised and objective when reporting the news. Oh, there is one thing aspect of Climategate that they are reporting on and that is how Phil Jones and his ilk are saying that the emails are being taken out of context and also reporting that algore has come saying Hopenchangen summit doesn't go far enough to erode the rights of all Americans and that the world needs to go further to erode our God given rights! Well thank you mainstream press, your service is no longer needed nor wanted. Please die quickly.

* The New York Times sees fit to print leaks, as in the case of Daniel Ellsberg, who illegaly leaked the Pentagon Papers to them, and the ravings of mad men such as Theodore Kaczynski and his treatise entitled "Industrial Society and Its Future". But in the case of Climategate, the New York Times is taking the high moral ground and not publishing them at all.

20th Anniversary of the Wall

Today was the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down.  There was a 1,000 foam tiles that was toppled down like a row of dominos.  Our president decided that he didn’t need to attend the anniversary of the West’s greatest achievement since defeating Nazi Germany in 1945.  One thing that irked me,well make it two things.  First of all the German chancellor praised Mikhail Gorbachev for his “role” in bringing down the “Anti-Fascist Protection Wall” which he really had nothing to do with.  Then there was no mention at all of Ronald Reagan, the man who told Gorbachev to “tear down this wall!”  Then again, we live in a state of being where there are no heroes, were everyone is the same, were school children don’t see grades anymore or any other from of criticism for it might “hurt” their feelings.

Specter versus Toomey

According to the latest Rasmussen poll, if the election was held today, Specter would no longer be one of the senators representing Pennsylvania.  According to the latest polls, Toomey would receive 48% of the vote, Specter 36%, another candidate 4% and the remaining 12% was unsure.  Even if Specter got the 12% that was unsure, it would be a dead heat between the two candidates.  The stated reason behind Specters switch from proud American™ to a french surrender monkey was that he no longer felt that the party represented him and wanted to see how it was destroy this great nation.   The real reason was that he knew the GOP would OK a candidate to run against him in the 2010 primaries.  He wanted to continue to get his power fixation that he gets being a senator.  Well it appears that now his plan for re-election has ran into a problem.  Unless something happens in the next 15 or so months to help his poll numbers, he can kiss his non-single-payer health care out of the window forever and hope his cancer doesn’t come out of remission…

Oh Yeah!

Found this video from Atlas Shrugs blog. Enjoy.

Greed is Good part deux

Comrade Oliver Stone has recently announced that he would make a prequel (or should it be considered a sequel) to his documentary “Wall Street.”  He said he really wanted to show the evilness of Bernie Madoff, and how he created more evil and greed while hurting poor people who trusted him.  When asked what characters were going to be in it, Comrade Stone gleefully smiled, “Well of course we will need a Bernie Madoff, more likely he would be a combination of Bernie Madoff and America’s number one traitor, Rush Limbaugh, and of course Gordon Gekko and Bud Fox.”  Asked if he had any backers he had in mind for the film, he just nodded, and would want to get people like Comrade-in-arms Tim Geithner, Tom Daschle, Bill Richardson, and Debbie “Fairness Doctrine NOW” Stabenow’s husband.  He went on to say about the potential backers,  “We have these great Americans flush with money only because they took a stand against George W. Bush and refused to pay their taxes which had the potential to kill millions of innocent islamic terrorists.” 

The Change Part 1

Obama said he’s going to get rid of the ban on embryonic stem cell research.  There is a slight problem with this.  Well two problems.  Anyhow, the ban was only on using federal monies on the research.  It didn’t stop private monies from funding this research.  And during the eight years the ban was in place, there was private money spent on embryonic stem cell research.  The second problem is, well, unlike the magic gun to cure all they promised it would be, embryonic stem cells failed.  Failed miserably to live up to the hype all the scientists claimed they would do.  According the scientists, it was supposed to be best thing since sliced bread.  It was supposed to cure cancer, AIDS, regrow limbs, send man to the moon, [for real this time – unlike the fake moon landings in the 70s] etc.  So all Obama is doing is throwing even more money at stem cells, and I guess that’s going to be another tax increase for me and all Americans who pay taxes.  But hey, what new with that concept?
