EARTHQUAKE!!!

There are roughly 120 Earth quakes that happen each year over a 6.0. Roughly 1000 per year over a 5.0. That is one every 3 days. Every three days people die in earthquakes that destroy countries.
BUT, how many news stories got published before Haiti? Once a month? Maybe. [...]

Nancy Grace

Who the hell is this lady? I use the term ‘lady’ fairly loosely here. I have been reviewing the comments on her videos and her website, watching a few opinions of her (my favorite), and watching her show (I got sick, twice). This is when I realized why people watch her, they [...]

Child Prophet

What is with the modern focus on children? I guess I just don’t see these kids as prodigies. A recent news story (the kid who doesn’t pledge) let the father speak. He said his child was a person, with equal rights (on a side note, the kid was taking about equal rights) [...]

A.D.D.

A girl who sneezes 12,000 times a day. Forget the story, it doesn’t matter… oh wait… yes it does. This 12 years old girl sneezes 12,000 times a day. According to the story on CNN, this started about 2 weeks ago when she had a cold. Now the family is just [...]

Immiracism

The story surfaced on CNN on Oct 24. “Get a conscience, not a costume,” is the title. It is focused on a new wave of Halloween costumes, an alien carrying a green card. The story claims racism on part of the producer, but I agree with the manufacturer’s statement, “The only people [...]

Yin and Yang

I recently read an anthology containing several narratives from African Americans who lived adjacent to the Civil War, slaves. Obviously, this time period is well known for the slavery institution. I have lived in a multi-cultural world my entire life. I feel that I have a heads up on the argument, thanks [...]

Got To Write

I watch a movie. I got to write.
I see the news. I got to write.
I do my homework. I got to write!
It has come to my attention that I have to write. I see, I do, I write. Unfortunately, it seems I can only write about things that make me [...]

Unbiased, Unacceptable

There is a new story being released by CNN that has been building for years: online images of sensitive locations to our nation’s security. In the past few years, technology has hit a new peak with high-resolution images that can be accessed by any regular internet connection. I agree with the story; these images should [...]

Lack of Priorities

As a species on this green Earth, where are our priorities? What is it that we are thinking that leads us in this direction? Where will we be in 1000 years?
Religion states that we are here to procreate, to reproduce ourselves. Politicians state that we are here to solve problems of others on this [...]

The Twitter Frenzy

Here’s the story.
Embedded video from CNN Video
I am happy to see this story, but pay attention to the commentary. Keep in mind that CNN is a HUGE user of Twitter. Tell me these suits didn’t plan this story out in advance to avoid coming across as anti-Twitter. Hell, both of these guys have stated how [...]
