Doonesbury is a newspaper comic strip which still appears in the Chicago Tribune – except this week it’s being excluded.
There is Palin-o-phobia, because Sarah is a private citizen and can sue for libel now. The old and moldy comic strip broached the topics found in the latest Palin slamming book penned by the pervert, who rented the house next door to the ex-gov in Wasilla.
There is such fear among the media elites (after combing Sarah’s emails and finding no titillating elements), that they won’t even give the pervert’s book a favorable review. Even the New York Times panned it.
Why did Palin delay announcing whether or not she would run for president? It has mitigated the behavior of the press to a significant degree.
This is HUGE NEWS, sez the mainstream media. These are the same newsguys who ignore hundreds of thousands gathered in Washington DC every January in the freezing cold to protest abortion. Over a hundred thousand more followed the event online in a virtual march.
But these global revolutionaries are a much biggerdeal!. There was a puny crowd gathered in New York and between 4 and 5 thousand people watching the live stream online- WORLD WIDE. Running chat rooms had to be flushed out because many of the watchers were there to make fun of the global revolutionaries. Moderators at the live stream chat asked for links and no more free form comments. The little group of protesters in New York were repeating recitations by a leader, about five words at a time – more boring than watching Obama read the teleprompter, left…right… left… right.
But remember — this is a BIG DEAL, and those pro-life marchers who have been at the massive January rallies for DECADES are to be ignored by the media, which knows what is important and what is not.
The Real Science Blog provided screen shots of North Carolina coastal wind station results from Wunderground, showing no winds higher than 33 miles per hour.
Steven Goddard says this is barely a tropical storm. Take a look for yourself- wind stations ranging from 8.7 to 33 mph. This guy is pretty reasonable but Pharmer decided to add some data to corroborate. Here’s the AP report:
“MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. (AP) — Hurricane Irene opened its assault on the Eastern Seaboard on Saturday by lashing the North Carolina coast with wind as strong as 115 mph and pounding shoreline homes with waves. Farther north, authorities readied a massive shutdown of trains and airports, with 2 million people ordered out of the way. “
At Wunderground they’re not using hallucinogens…. Here’s the Nag’s head forecast for the day:
wunderground forecast nags head hurricane 8-27-11
The Nags head station was down, so Pharmer looked for a close one which is operating. Mind you, the storm is said to be 500 miles wide, and was said to hit the coast at 7:30 am. What’s close by……
Coast of North Carolina
How about Kill Devil Hills! That’s close, and yes the weather station is up and running (implies no power outage).
Wind at Kill Devil Hills, NC at 2:55 pm 8-27-11Wind at Kill Devil Hills, NC at 3:00 pm
The final GEM from Kill Devil Hills NC, is the Wunderground weather station GRAPH of wind activity for the day:
Wind was observed to range from 6mph to 22mph at mid afternoon. Ike was no longer a real hurricane when it reached Indiana, but it was an all day event, producing higher sustained winds than shown at the Kill Devil Hills weather station in NC.
We’re going with the Real Science assessment that reports of the IRENE TROPICAL STORM have been greatly overblown, and much more panic has been induced than was warranted.
By the way, Steven Goddard is stepping up to his own domain… (just like the Pharmer). His blog is migrating to Real-Science.com. He might to need to buy hefty bandwidth with Drudge pointing to him from time to time. The real site crasher is Rush Limbaugh, who tends to bring the visitors all at once.
One wonders at the economic cost of dire and overblown weather conditions. It appears that people are losing faith in NOAA. This might be related to the climate change hoax, which had been espoused by top officials.
This above opinion piece, supplied to CNN, perhaps to comfort them over their lost air time with Christine O’Donnell, castigates said former Tea Party candidate for walking out on an interview with Piers Morgan.
It is worth monitoring which pundits might be moving over to the elitist side, because ‘we the people’ need to know who our real friends are.
The elitists are identified by their attacks on us normal folk, the unwashed American citizenry who feel the call to right the wrongs of government, and particularly the portion who attempt to run for office.
Mr. Bozell’s opinion was cross posted over at News Busters, where Pharmer found it, and posted the following reply: Says Mr. Bozell: “O’Donnell had no right to reject the questions.”……….. “O’Donnell had no right to walk off the set.”
Sorry, Mr. Bozell, this is still America. O’Donnell was not on that set by contractual agreement, nor force of any law. Therefore she was free to end the interview at any time. Also the media people can throw an interviewee off at any time. Those of us who have played the media game understand how this works.
It might have been in O’Donnell’s best interest to hang around, and smear little Piers with his own questions, but not many people watch CNN, and she’s probably well aware that her interests lie elsewhere.
As for sexuality issues……. Most of those “positions” were pulled out of the inexperienced O’Donnell because the media was having a field game with her religious affiliation. “ Piers had O’Donnell on for a bit of sex-talk, and she apparently wasn’t in the mood. It’s a woman’s Right to say “no”.
Notice the BREAKING NEWS of a crime done on JUNE 26th by some White racists against a random Black victim. They beat him up and ran over him with a truck, killing him. This news is “Breaking” on August 5 2011, well over a month after the fact. By this time, the ringleader has been processed thoroughly and faces a very miserable life in prison…… for however long he lasts there.
This would not have been national news except for the need to counter the internet promulgation of a local news story of race based mob violence in Wisconsin.
Yes, the Uniter, who promised to lower the sea level, and bring harmony to the world has done us no good at all.
Media Matters has been is actively attacking the functions of tax payers for political gain.
Of interest is its project to stop advertizers from running ads on Fox network, something to which headman David Brock has admitted.
The non-profit is engaging in the same activities that it supposedly was formed to monitor. It should not have tax exempt status according to IRS regulations, but since lefties control the IRS, Media Matters, like Planned Parenthood, will retain tax exempt status no matter the extent of their violations.
This mornings entertainment…….. if you go to the drudgereport. a phishing site (such as quizstopweb) will pop up and ask you for your email and shipping address. This clutch of phishing sites comprises an ip data collector. Drudge has many things to say that the government does not want you to hear. Don’t give up on it. Just try to get around it.
The Drudge viewing app available for ipod and ipad is much nicer, as it bypasses ads like crazy and does not have a phisher asking for your information. Unfortunately you’ll have to wait until Apple gets its sites back up. Apparently Lion, the new operating system, and its cloud computing goodies are being set up.
You know how Matt Drudge goes nutz on the weather stories. Here’s a chill pill to counteract the garbage which the media has been pumping out about our little Midwestern heat wave.
Seems that if you look at the NOAA weather database, negligibly few temperature records were set during the VERY SCARY heat wave. It was just another false alarm from the lamestream news to distract us from the fact that Obama’s a loser.
It’s just another summer…. during which we can count on two or three weeks of good heat. An air conditioner might have been nice this past week, but having one when it’s only desirable for a few weeks out of every year really isn’t economical.
Fake responses from right wing presidential candidates, to the result of the Casey trial, were perceived and promulgated as the real thing by Salon’s left leaning audience.
Pope Benedict XVI tweeted a message to announce the start up of the new Vatican news service which he hopes will streamline communciation from the Vatican to the world, and even assist it’s internal communications.
Assimilation will occur via the website, Facebook, Twitter, RSS feed, Youtube, and Flickr. Resistance is futile! 😉
Pope Benedict officially clicks to publish the news website.
