Montauk Monster: Hoax

Montauk Monster: Hoax:

"It was fun while it lasted, but the monstrous creature that washed up in
Montauk, Long Island appears to have been nothing more than a prop from an
independent movie about carnies."

I can't believe this became a news story, that CNN covered it, that is the joke.

"MARATHON, Fla — Authorities say a grandmother was arrested for driving
around the parking lot of a Marathon grocery store with her 3-year-old child
sitting on the roof of the car."


I don't even know what to say about something so stupid.

I hope not, the poor kids life is going to be hard enough as it is.

Media's self-censorship over Edwards is bigger scandal - MarketWatch

Media's self-censorship over Edwards is bigger scandal - MarketWatch:

"LONDON (MarketWatch) -- The scandal over former Sen. John Edwards' alleged
fathering of a love child is rapidly being surpassed by a greater travesty --
not one single major media organization in the U.S is covering the story."

One I think people are tired of these stories, and don't even care anymore. Also I haven't seen there is much of a story there.

Poynter Online - Romenesko: "Why small-town papers haven't been hit as hard as big dailies
Time-blog.com"

I think one reason small town papers will continue to do well, is that they cover something important to people in small towns that national networks don't. That is the things they care about that happen in their small communities.

"“The whole time Bob and I were doing ‘Full House,’ he was also hosting
‘America’s Funniest Home Videos,’ ” he said. “His entire job consisted of saying
‘Take a look at this’ which is what he used to say to Mary Kate in her dressing
room.”"


That is pretty bad. Funny as hell, but bad.

"'The Barb' thinks Sherri is a loose cannon and is even harder to work with than

Worse than Rosie, I doubt that, but she does need to go.

Israel likely to skip next U.N. racism conference - USATODAY.com:

"GENEVA (AP) — Israel will almost surely boycott the next U.N. racism
conference in Geneva, its ambassador said Wednesday, warning that the meeting is
likely to sink into the same anti-Semitism that prompted the U.S. and Israel to
walk out of the last one seven years ago."


If there isn't going to be honest discussion, there is no point in having it.

North Dakota's real-life Jed Clampett - CNN.com:

"STANLEY, North Dakota (CNN) -- Herb Geving unleashes a broad smile in his
11,000-square-foot mansion. The former cattleman, farmer and owner of a North
Dakota garbage business is now retired, able to count the dollar signs brought
in by three oil wells."


Appears to be something of a new oil rush to the northern plains.

"The world's largest trash dump doesn't sit on some barren field outside

Not a new story, but one that needs to be told over and over until something changes. Click the link to see the disturbing video.

Bush Gets Tremendous Crowds in S. Korea, US Media Ignores Story NewsBusters.org:

"Over at Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft introduces us to Amy Proctor's report on the
amazingly large crowd of South Koreans that came out to welcome George W. Bush
to their country. It's a good thing that Amy clued us in here in America,
because our media sure ignored the story of this large turnout."


It really does seem unfair not to cover this, after the coverage Obama got in Germany.

Laurence Fishburne in talks for CSI - TV Squad:

"CSI fans have been clutching their hearts in agony upon learning
that William Petersen would be leaving the role of brainy crimebuster Gil
Grissom. I don't watch CSI regularly, and even I know that he's the heart of the
show."


I think the show can go on, and that Laurence is a good fit. I hope he doesn't always ask the suspects, "do you want to red pill or the blue pill?"

Chickaboomer: Joe Scarborough: Paris Energy Plan "More Cogent" Than McCain's or Obama's:

"Even Joe Scarborough just complimented Miz Paris on a 'more cogent energy
plan' than the two presidential candidates: 'We can do limited offshore drilling
with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit
making hybrid and electric cars. ... Energy crisis solved, I'll see you at the
debates, bitches!'"

It is sad, but true, that Paris Hilton in 3o seconds made more sense than Obama or McCain have for their whole campaigns.
