CBS Gets It Wrong Again: Rand Paul Rally

finding the head for CBS
thanks wikipedia

Lauren Valle, a leftie gurl, who has traveled the US and abroad doing protests,  showed up wearing a blonde wig  at a Rand Paul Rally in KY.   She was tackled by some of Paul’s  supporters, who wished to prevent her from approaching the candidate, while  carrying something  later identified as  a “satirical award”.

One of the guys stepped  on her upper back covering her upper spine with his heal, with toes on her upper left shoulder.   CBS  and the uninjured victim herself, incorrectly identified this anatomical region as her head.  If one looks at the picture, and sees the video,  (and understands anatomical proportions) it is easy to see that her head was not stepped on, though it might have been brushed slightly as the foot was removed.  Fellow supporters immediately admonished the man, who stepped on Ms. Valle, not to do that.

When viewing the picture, remember that, viewed  frontally, the eyes are located  approximately in the middle of the head. The back of the head meets the neck  in a position horizontally coplanar with the upper mandible (jaw bone), (place just below the nose).

From knowing these proportions  it is obvious that no part of her head, which was largely hidden under her raised jacket collar, was actually under his shoe as his foot came down, and pushed. The pressure of the stepping was angled downward, away from the head.  (Attempting to describe without utilizing  anatomical terms is not precise, and you should see the video itself to understand. )

Understand that CBS does anatomy as badly as it does embryology, and it could take more years for Pharmer  to explain the proportions of the human head to these people.  Even after such effort, accurate reporting could not be expected.

The guy with the big foot is, of course a dork for stepping on the woman.   Restraining her was not a difficult matter, and no such action was justified.

Pharmer holds the candidate, Rand Paul blameless.   Political candidates are in the line of fire due to the natural controversy,  and many are reliant on amateur volunteers for protection from possibly armed opposition.

CBS equally demonstrated stupidity with their inability to identify the affected part of the woman’s anatomy in their reporting of the incident.  Professional protester  Lauren Valle also does not know where she keeps her head.  (Pharmer refrains from offering a theory).

Could Residency Requirement Interfere with Rahm Emanuel’s Appointment as Chicago Mayor?

Experts say Rahm Emanuel not a legal resident of city :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Election 2010.

Apparently the fact that Rahm Emmanuel has been in Washington DC, and that his renter won’t allow him to break lease, means there may be trouble with his appointment as Mayor of Chicago.

It is very likely that the Cook County Court will endorse Emmanuel as it is considered important that a prospective Democrat Mayoral  appointee “wants” to live in Chicago.
