The conservatives' wet dream - Brian Williams suspended for six months
God they go on and on about it! Then the other thing you hear about ALOT is what is Obama doing exactly about ISIS and terrorism in general? Obama is the DroneMaster (sounds like a good name for an app) and has more hits of top terror leaders under his belt than Bush ever had and is leading that international coalition against ISIS in Iraq and northern Syria so I don't understand the nature of the question, in fact it verges on stupid. Bruce Jenner - I honestly think the man/woman has too much time and money on his hands. Maybe Kanye West can make a song about it. I've been doing alot of walking in the snow lately and people don't hike in the snow as much as they used to seems to me. They leave half-hearted footpaths in the snow and don't maintain them by walking everyday or maybe it's the coyote snowtracks I've been seeing lately so they turn around and go home and play with their smartphones and pack on a few more pounds that they could've lost by following the coyote tracks. Let's see what's going on in Space? For you eggheads out there they found these twin stars in some nebula out there that are gonna merge soon and die or explode or something. God a six-month suspension and he didn't even use steroids!! maybe he was just trying to get women with his barroom tales:)

Brian Williams: IMO, its the old tale of 'fluffing the resume' vs lying. Consider-
ReplyDelete"President Ronald Reagan, who spent World War II in Hollywood, vividly described his own role in liberating Nazi concentration camp victims. Living in the film world, he apparently confused a movie he had seen with a reality he had not. On many occasions in his Presidential campaigns, Mr. Reagan told an epic story of World War II courage and sacrifice, an inspiration for all of us. Only it never happened; it was the plot of the movie A Wing and a Prayer — that made quite an impression on me, too, when I saw it at age 9. Carl Sagan, 'Demon Haunted World' -
-and was it not Hillary Clinton, who thought she was under fire in Bosnia, and later admitted she wasn't. The deal? Politicians can do it, serious journalists can't. Give
me the old blood & guts correspondents; the CBS folk- Eric Severeid, shot down
behind enemy lines in Burma, Walter Cronkite, flying B-17 missions over Germany,
landing in a glider with the 101st Airborne during Operation Market Garden and Kimberly
Dozier, barely surviving an IED explosion in Iraq. They don't have to fluff their
resumes.
That's a hell of a fluff and did he think nobody woud find out? We have a bunch of lightweights today.
DeleteRife with lightweights. Consider Howard Kurtz, who left CNN for FoxNews and makes his living criticizing the
Deletenews of other networks. We presume he falls in that category that journalists describe as "We don't care if you f*** the elephants, as long as you're not covering the circus." Now that John Stewart is retiring,
there are no serious journalists left. :)
Williams' career pretty much over. Should open up a hot dog wagon.
DeleteI hear Obama is seeking some sort of 'war powers' act from Congress. IMO, he prefers to pull troops out, rather than stick them in (given our recent history) and it
ReplyDeleteis doubtful he would consider putting boots on the ground without congressional
consensus and permission. It seems many believe that b. on the g. is the only way
to successfully deal with ISIL...and they may be right.
Just think if McCain were president we'd be in Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, Nigeria, Somalia...
Delete...and Sarah Palin would be VP. Yikes!
DeleteMacDaddy sure doesn't like those Kissinger critics.
DeleteSo I've been walking along the pure virgin untouched snow noticing alot of canid pawprints without the usual accompanying dog owner footprints, pawprints zigzagging up and down tough snowy slopes and nobody walking but me. Hmmmm....
ReplyDeleteArctic Fox?
DeleteThat there is a beautiful creature.
DeleteHard to keep things straight with the current media circus. Is the next Secretary of
ReplyDeleteDefense Ashton Carter or
Ashton Kutcher ? We have to figure out Hillary Clinton, Hilary Swank & Hilary Duff- at least identical twins Mike
Huckabee and Gomer Pyle have different names, ya know?
Where does Bruce Jenner fit in?
DeleteWhere does Bruce/Belinda Jenner fit in?
DeleteGood question, takes considerable pondering.
Not the men's room, not the women's room - that door in between
labeled "Other".
Since there's supposed to be a high of about 17 degrees in NYC today Mayor De Blasio told everyone to stay indoors. What does this mean and for how long? Don't go to work? Don't go shopping? Don't walk the dog? Seems to me we're a neurotic culture.
ReplyDeleteBrian Williams punished for fabricating personal adventures. Meanwhile, FoxNews
ReplyDeleteis being sued by the city of Paris, for reporting 'no-go' zones in Paris, during their
terroists attack; zones where Muslims and police could not go. Although it was
fabricated, FoxNews will fight the suit, claiming freedom of speech. Probably why
one is considered a news network, the other just a network?
We "report" you decide. Actually I get more out of CCTV News out of China.
DeleteISIL beheads 20+ Egyptian Christians in Libya, on the Mediterranean beach.
ReplyDeleteEgyptian Air Force flies missions against Libyan terrorists- the dog barks and the
caravan moves on. Overweight guy with concealed permit (and a house full of
armaments) shoots3 US Muslim students in the head in their house. My damn
cordless drill quit after only 18 years. What's the world coming to?
For the last two days I wiki'ed the history of the Christian hymn "Amazing Grace" and its author John Newton. Seems the power of the song cuts across all political, religious and even secular lines.
ReplyDeleteI hear that a lot, living across from a cemetery- usually bagpipes. I'm familiar with the hymnology of the 18th & 19th centuries, and Newton had
Deletean unusual life..sailor, captive in Africa, slaveship captain, Anglican priest,
abolitionist and sometime hymn writer. Another of his hymns, popular in
England and among Episcopalians is 'How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds', sung here by a black anglican choir of Jamaica, ironically descendants no doubt, of passengers on Newton's voyages. Among the
interesting stuff about hymn writers, we note Arthur Seymour Sullivan
(Onward Christian Soldiers), who paired with Gilbert to write then current
operettas full of un-hymnlike songs like, 'the good ship Lollipop' and 'I am
the captain of the pinafore'. For neophyte hymnologists, this source is a must: we find all 289 hymns
penned by John Newton. (In case you're ever on Evangelical Jeopardy)
Not sure what Brian Williams is doing these days. IMO, if lying is bad, then lying
ReplyDeletewith arrogance and impunity is awful: If Bill O'Reilly worked anywhere but FOX,
he would be suspended with a 'No rehire' note. Doubt he would last a day at
Starbucks or WalMart. Does his wife hate him too?
The best way to describe him imo is he's a political Judge Judy.
