Lara Logan Treats Her PSTD With Diazepam and Red Wine

~ Pharmer

A good, strong media-grrl, Lara Logan shows us the way….following her gang-rape in Tarir ‘Square’ by a mob of crazy Egyptians, engaged in’ Arab Spring’ demonstrations. Perhaps she wants to show us that the trauma of gang-rape is do-able. She sucks it up and heads out on her missions as CBS foreign correspondent, with the help of diazepam and red wine. As we know, diazepam (Valium)is a rather long acting benzodiazepine, so she might retain the effects of the active metabolites of this drug for days after her pre-mission doping. One astute comment followed the story below, suggesting that Ms. Logan should be engaged in different journalistic pursuits until she is able to deal with these trips to other countries without self medicating, for her own sake, as well as that of others.
Pharmer suggests that CBS is still abusing Lara Logan, and obtaining benefit from it.

Did ABC’s Jake Tapper Get Tired of People Looking At Him?

~ Pharmer

Is that why he moved to CNN, which nobody watches?     If CNN were not showing in airports and certain other public facilities, very few people would see that network at all.  That’s why Pharmer thinks that Jake must be getting camera shy or something.  There is also  the possibility that the ailing CNN has offered ginormous money to Tapper, hoping that he’ll boost their abysmal U.S. ratings.

‘Real News’: Bob Costas’ Sunday Night Football Gun Remarks Ignite Controversy | Video | TheBlaze.com.

The commentary surrounding Kansas City Chiefs player, Jovan Belcher,  killing the mother of his 3 month old child, and later killing himself, has saturated the popular media.

Bob Costas, a tenured, leftist, NBC sports announcer, gained further favor with his bosses by reciting the words of a fellow leftist, Jason Whitlock,  on the air:

“Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it.”

“In the coming days, Jovan Belcher’s actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe: If Jovan Belcher didn’t possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.”

Perhaps some people would not have the mental energy to call up another murder/suicide  (Fri 11/30/12)  which made national news over the weekend. The following is from the AP, describing a murder at Wyoming Community College in Casper.

…”police were trying to figure out what motivated Christopher Krumm to attack his father and his father’s girlfriend, 42-year-old Heidi Arnold, a math instructor at the college. Arnold was found stabbed to death in front of the home she shared with James Krumm.”

“After shooting his father with the arrow, Christopher Krumm stabbed himself, then fatally stabbed his father in the chest in a struggle in the classroom, Walsh said.”

“Police arrived to find James Krumm dead and Christopher Krumm barely living. The younger Krumm died soon after students fled in a panic.”

What was Costas/Whitlock saying about guns being necessary for murder/suicide?

Please also note that the highest murder rates, and  America’s most recent and notable massacres, have occurred in locations with the most stringent gun restrictions: VA Tech, Columbine, Aurora, Ft. Hood.  Chicago has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, and it’s a  war-zone.

“Sandy” They’re Awfulizing the Big Storm Again!

~ Pharmer

Remember  the hand wringing prior to “Hurricane” Irene hitting the northeastern seaboard?   Well, they do this every time.  Soon no one will listen to the lamestream weather criers anymore, and perhaps everyone will fail to respond when a real disaster hits. This time, Matt Drudge, who is a disaster junkie, has been saving his red headlines for the stories about federally induced storm panic.

Sandy is one large storm, but as it’s hitting land it doesn’t rate as a hurricane if you pay attention to the wind data coming from the weather stations which feed Wunderground.com.

Pharmer picked two…  One in Robbins’ Reef NJ, because there was news about evacuations in  New York City, and one in little Assateague Island, out there all by itself, east of Maryland.  Pharmer expects the storm to blast that island hardest.

The wind data is in Kilometers per hour  on the weather station flags.  Look at the graphs and you won’t see wind gusts above 50 mph, and sustained winds are much milder.  You know what that means.  It’s just like a summer storm, down on the Pharm, only lasting longer than usual.

It’s a mess, but not worth the big warnings to evacuate.

Why does the media cause more economic destruction than the storm would by itself??

Sandy makes landfall

 

 

Little Assateague Island Weather station.  Remember, the 60 is wind gust in KILOMETERS per hour, not MPH

See the wind speed graph of Assategue with MPH scale on the LEFT

left side is mph it's not a hurricane yet!

Sorry weather criers,  Sandy is not going to give Obama such a big chance to look presidential.  In fact, we might even be able to get back to learning more about why Obama refused help to the Libyan Embassy in Benghazi when it was attacked.

Update:  Pharmer sees the weather stations still tracking after midnight, with the wind not getting worse, and…….. you know the power hasn’t been knocked out yet.

Update:  6am 10/29  Winds at Robbins Reef, NJ are around 30-35mph, and gusts have not yet hit 50mph.   The worst of the storm has blown through Assateague, MD,  but another milder area is overhead.  Winds there are calm and they’re getting a LOT of rain.

Update: 1:18 pm   The storm has shifted direction and is heading north ward.  Winds are picking up at Robbins Reef, with sustained winds in the 40s and with gusts in the 50s MPH.    Unfortunately for Assateague, the storm turned before blowing further westward.  It looks like the weather station is  giving winds ranging from zero to gusts in the 80’s.  As it is registering mostly calm winds, Pharmer thinks it’s down.

Wunderground has stopped displaying weather station data, due to bandwidth shortage as of just before 2 pm.   The winds at Ocean city, MD have appeared to die down to the teens.

So far it looks like – Pharmer is right, the media has kept Sandy awfulized to a hurricane, though it hit as a tropical storm.  But Pharmer is wrong about needing to evacuate.  Flooding is turning out to be cause for evacuations in  coastal areas not prepared for such Wetness.

The politics?  REALLY!  Obama flew to Florida to campaign yesterday, but was flown back to monitor the storm.  What’s on the news?   The Obama campaign is wondering whether the storm can be utilized to  help his reelection effort.  Tacky Tacky Tacky.

Pharmer sez,  use Wunderground and your own  gossip chains, NOT the media,  to decide where to send aid to wet and cold people.

UPDATE midnight 1029 to show Graphs from 10-29

Robbins Reef  NJ on day 2  This place is getting the most wind.

 

Assateague Island on 10-29, showing when it’s wind monitor broke.

 

Ocean City inlet, MD  which is  near Assateague, was picked up to display the wind on 10-29.   Be sure to check the amazing change in wind direction which is shown at midday.  This is close to the time that Assateague’s wind monitor wiped out.

Update 10-30-12
Robbin’s Reef, NJ on 10-30

Ocean City, MD on 10-30

Assateague Island’s wind monitor spinner remains busted, but the directional vane is still sending data. 10-30

Sandy is pretty much finished with these three locations, and now they can start mopping up the mess.
Why did the weather stations send continuous data to the internet? No power outage at those locations, near where Sandy made landfall.

In Time for 2nd Debate, Hillary Takes Responsibility for Security at Benghazi

~ Pharmer

Clinton: I’m responsible for diplomats’ security – CNN.com.

Hillary is taking the blame for the death of U.S. ambassador to Libya in Benghazi, saying that the diplomats’  security is the job of the state department.

This is in tune with Biden and Obama’s attempt to absolve themselves from blame for removing U.S. security from the Libyan embassy, and for refusals to heed requests from ambassador Chris Stevens, who was  killed there.

Prior reports that Stevens was raped before he was killed came from Tayyar.org (Lebanon news) which credited the AFP.   The AFP complained to Tayyar  and the news page in Arabic, as well as video claims have been scrubbed from the internet. No one wants credit for initial reports that Stevens was raped before, during or after he was murdered.

The Washington Times is keeping this view of the Google Translated Tayyar.org article.  If this link  disappears, notify the Pharmer in comments, because it can be restored.

The Blaze Exposes MSLSD in another Audio Visual Lie

~ Pharmer

MSLSD has that nickname for a reason. Remember the edited George Zimmerman 911 tape that started all the riots, protests, and destroyed chances for a fair trial?
Remember the gun toting Black man at a Phoenix health care town hall who’s head was excluded in order to turn him White? You can see the MSLSD fraud, as well as the man explaining that he’s doing a perfectly legal thing.

At MSLSD, the commentators were rollin’ eyes at a video of what appeared to be Romney leading a failed chant of “Romney Ryan”.

According to attendees, what really happened is that the crowed started chanting “Romney Romney” and Romney interrupted in order to get them to include Ryan.
