Enough Of Leftovers -
Michael Ramzy (633)    
Michael Ramzy   
On my way home last night I saw this bumper sticker:
If You Aren't Outraged, You Haven't Been Paying Attention
Apparently, this bumper sticker is a leftover from the Bush administration. It must be, since I have yet to see a bumper sticker denouncing (or criticizing) Mr. Obama. Of... ( added 33 days 15 hours ago.) |
Yellow Journalism Returns -
 - JP Bender (9,663)   
JP Bender
In case you didn't realize it, yellow journalism is alive and well; it's just that since we no longer rely on newspapers for our news, the name has been changed, to protect the guilty.
There was a time not too long ago, when gathering and printing news was an honorable profession, when... ( added 49 days 19 hours ago.) |
Selective Outrage & Inconsistent Indignation -
- Edward Rhymes (1,331)  
Edward Rhymes
I must admit I am somewhat confused about the rhetoric that I'm hearing by many who oppose well, just about anything President Obama does. I find that some of the outrage and indignation is rooted in some sort of collective amnesia and cognitive dissonance. I want to point to several areas that I... ( added 51 days 11 hours ago.) |

Julian Price (3,951) 
Julian Price
Just when you thought the popularity of reality TV shows had run its course, another one rears its head, promising to offer more than has gone before, including an extra dimension. Yes folks, they are taking us 3D! From the company calling themselves, " Even More Real than Reality " a new show... ( added 61 days 4 hours ago.) |
DWB, Skip Gates & Me -
Edward Rhymes (1,331)
Edward Rhymes
I wrote a piece several years ago (from 2004 to be exact) for a local newspaper when I lived in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The article is about racial profiling in Massachusetts and yes, the Henry Gates incident is the impetus for me posting this (seeing that I have had some experience with some...

Associated Press to Charge For Quoting Articles Online -
Rob Trahan (205)  
Rob Trahan
Quoting and linking has become common practice online. You can peruse any blog today and find snippets of someone else's work along with a link to the work. Until recently there have been no worries of copyright repercussions. If the Associated Press has its way, there will. The AP, for those who... ( added 97 days 9 hours ago.) |
Why Are We So Angry These Days? -
Michael Ramzy (633)
Michael Ramzy
Another blistering day here in Texas and yet still a great day in America, which isn't larger than Texas in spite of what many Texans think. We as a country just celebrated our 233rd birthday and now we're all back at work.
And boy, do we work . Most of us watch our dollars and sometimes we... ( added 123 days 4 hours ago.) |
Lessons From Michael Jackson's Short Life and Sudden Death -
Mogama (15,965)   
Mogama
Emotions about Michael Jackson are so
intense on either side. Most of MJ's fans choose blind adoration of
the man they call not only The King of Pop but The Greatest
Entertainer Of All Time. Jackon's non-fans on the other hand are set
on nailing the laundry of his flaws to the wall for... ( added 123 days 14 hours ago.) |
Obama To Muslims- Get Along. French To Queen- Bugger Off -
- J. Kitchell (20) 
J. Kitchell
A State Department employee and his wife have been indicted for spying for Cuba for more than 30 years. They allegedly gave economic secrets to the Castro government. Like why does Billy Mays yell on his commercials?
The two weren't paid very well by Cuba. In thirty years they earned a few... ( added 155 days 22 hours ago.) |
Doodling The Past: Did The Ancients Pull A Fast One? -
Michael Ramzy (633)
Michael Ramzy
I can imagine the first cavemen sitting around waiting to make fire, and one guy gets it into his head to start carving on a cave wall. He's sitting there, doodling, and his female asks what he's doing . . .
Male: "Doodling."
Female: Doodling?"
Male: "Yeah. While you're making that... ( added 166 days 16 hours ago.) |
What's In A Name? Apparently Everything -
Michael Ramzy (633)
Michael Ramzy
Another beautiful day in America and on the news today we hear two opposite takes on the detainees at Gitmo and terrorism in general. Former VP Cheney had his say directly after the president had his say. Both believe they are right, and both believe the other to be 'misguided', which is another... ( added 171 days 7 hours ago.) |
Swine Denies Involvement In Outbreak: The BBC Interview -
Michael Ramzy (633)
Michael Ramzy
The following is an excerpt from the extraordinary interview of a pig on BBC. If you missed it, you surely live in a cave. This interview is remarkable in its directness and hard-hitting journalism, something not seen in America that often. So, without further delay, here we go:
BBC: So... ( added 194 days 15 hours ago.) |
Think Like Us . . . Or Else -
Michael Ramzy (633)
Michael Ramzy
Another great day in America and we find ourselves wondering if an illness named after a pig (no, not Babe ) will bring us down. Interesting, the things we think.
We Americans are still wondering why things are the way they are these days, or more specifically, if things really are the way... ( added 195 days 14 hours ago.) |
"The Elements of Style" Celebrates 50 Years; But What it's Missing is a Deathblow to Your Writing -
Jeff Brown (9,928) 
Jeff Brown
The book was originally written in 1918 and published by Cornell University professor William Strunk Jr., and was first revised with the help of Edward A. Tenney in 1935. In 1957, it came to the attention of E.B. White at The New Yorker. White had studied under Strunk in 1919 but had since... ( added 205 days 5 hours ago.) |
How To Make The News -
Michael Ramzy (633)
Michael Ramzy
That's right, I am about to show how you can make the news. Hold on to your hats.
Actually, I don't mean I will show you how to manufacture the news, although many believe that is what some of our dailies (those few which are left, that is) and networks do on a regular basis. I mean I will... ( added 205 days 19 hours ago.) |
The Things We Wonder About -
Michael Ramzy (633)
Michael Ramzy
We as humans are so smart, so powerful. We know so much, and with the help of our opposable thumb we have overcome much to become what we have become. We are the top of the food chain, we believe, since we have total domination over our environment and can, at times, control the environment and... ( added 270 days 1 hour ago.) |
It's Good that the News is Mostly Bad -
Tex Norman (4,200)  
Tex Norman
Watch the news, almost any night, or read the newspaper almost any day, and you will be bombarded by bad news. Inevitably I hear people turn from the news and say, "Why can't they cover good news. Why do they have to cover murders, rapes, fires, war, and economic crisis all the time?"
Of... ( added 352 days 1 hour ago.) |

The Baseball Oracle -
- Gregory Lewis (1,603) 
Gregory Lewis
Remember Pollyanna's optimistically philosophical, "The Glad Game"? Oh, come on, you can at least murmur to yourself you watched it when you were a kid, we won't tell. In a nutshell, the objective of the Glad Game was to find a silver lining in an otherwise negative situation. One obvious... ( added 1 year 19 days ago.) |
Last call for Massachusetts -
Gregory Lewis (1,603)
Gregory Lewis
The title of this article has to do with me, directly, and Massachusetts only incidentally. In less than two weeks I'll be leaving Massachusetts for the Sunshine State of Florida. In the mean time, I can still report on happenings in the Bay State, besides the obvious fall foliage and frost on... ( added 1 year 21 days ago.) |
Paul Revere Takes to Wall Street: "The People Are Coming!" -
- Jean Purcell (1,945) 
Jean Purcell
America came to be after a bloody revolution that could have been avoided if a greedy and careless king had listened to The People. England's king, however, was not willing to listen or to care. That's understandable: He knew he had the power. The first warning of the ineffectiveness of his power... ( added 1 year 38 days ago.) |
Wall Street Bailout Stall: Communicate or Lose -
- Jean Purcell (1,945)
Jean Purcell
"Main Street just does not understand Wall Street," the Wall Street market guy said in paternalistic-sounding frustration. That comment leads some to plead: "Please, Mister, teach us po' folks about Wall Street. Please, Mister." That could be the plea, now that we ignoramuses on Main Street have...

Jean Purcell
During the aftermath of September 11, 2001, my husband and I were in New York City. Before we left, we wanted to pay our respects at the area already called "Ground Zero," where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center recently had stood. We stood in a long snake-line of people. They too wanted... ( added 1 year 58 days ago.) |
A Spiritual View of the 2008 Presidential Election -
James Taylor (837) 
James Taylor
All the rumble in the election is about change. Barak Obama surfaced as the only choice Americans have to enable this change in Washington. But this is only a portion of the shift occurring. Obama, upon arrival, will be greeted by the same system George Bush thrived in. It is a tough one.... ( added 1 year 69 days ago.) |
Political Blogger or Journalist? Election Entertainment, Accuracy, or Both -

Jean Purcell
A real or imagined political blogger? Read Politbloggeratlarge08:
I was stuck again in a hardship location as a political blogger. This time, I at least had a car. Having a car, I suddenly realized I did not want to go out. There was danger out there. I was at a small seventh-floor condo... ( added 1 year 92 days ago.) |
