Terrible Headline

AP Probe Finds Drugs in Drinking Water

Wow, what a mess that is. Such crap, such fear mongering crap. One would almost think that this was paid for b the bottled water industry. First Sentence:

"A vast array of pharmaceuticals—including antibiotics, anti- convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones—have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation shows."

Very scary right? I mean, who wants to drink water with sex hormones in it? Oh, next line:

"To be sure, the concentrations of these pharmaceuticals are tiny, measured in quantities of parts per billion or trillion, far below the levels of a medical dose."

Umm, not far below, incredibly, incredibly far below. A part per trillion is almost undetectable, except by some of the most sophisticated instruments on the market…so who paid for those?

And then this:

"Also, utilities insist their water is safe."

Worded to make one think that Water Utilities have something to hide…what crap. Please, do not read the rest of the article, your water is safe, even what comes from a personal well. Some bottled water is even safe, although public water is by far the safest. I don't tell you to ignore the article so you are not informed, go ahead and read it, but the whole thing is written in a manner that tries hard to pretend that those that know the science, water treatment people, are lying to you, and those the study numbers only, with no clue what those numbers mean, are telling the truth. These are the same scientists that told us about the next Ice Age in the seventies, Gorebal warming a few years ago, and now, another ice age…they can't get anything right, except public fear.

Interesting, to a point

Here is an article that at one moment is interesting, then another simply disingenuous. First, in this sentence, this article from Oman uses a phraseology that most western journalists refuse to use: "Islam's prophet" The Ny Times (An article about the Prophet Muhammad) and other American or British papers usually just add prophet to the name, something they would never do with Jesus.

Then, deeper in the article comes this:

OIC leaders "will be expected to take appropriate decisions against such acts of Islamophobia" which violate "international legal instruments that prohibit insult and offence of religious beliefs of others and cannot be condoned under the (banner) of freedom of expression," he said.

"There is an urgent necessity for the international community to either strengthen the existing international legal instruments or enact new ones that would include preventive measures against insulting or offending religious values and sentiments."

I will not buy this until the OIC condemns any cleric that uses the apes and pigs bs or until the OIC condemns the president of Iran for his inflammatory statements.

Cuba

This gives us hope for Cuba…

Just go read it, it is chock full of interesting items, one of which is the $15 per month salary Cubans make, and it isn't a shock to the NY Times writer.

J School Grads

I write in this blog, sometimes, not as often as I like, but I do write. When I do, I find articles that back up any point of view that I am attempting to portray. Occasionally I find one that does not back up my story and I include it as a link to show the other side. Most of the time, showing the other side proves my point, but I am showing the other side in the discussion. I did not graduate from j school, I am a person that likes to write. Imagine my surprise when I came across this post at LGF. It is about how the Society of Professional Journalists wants j school grads to force the American public to accept a version of Islam that is just not true. If you do not want to go to LGF, here is the article in question by itself.

LGF is claiming that these guidelines were written in 2001, the October after the attacks on America by Muslim Terrorists, one of the phrases in the guidelines that j school grads should avoid using. Huh? What the heck is that about?

"Avoid using word combinations such as "Islamic terrorist" or "Muslim extremist…"

I couldn't make this stuff up, we all think it sometimes, that the media avoids telling us stuff, but here it is, a professional group telling those in the group to lie. It would be like a professional stone masons group telling us to pretend that granite and sandstone had the same qualities, to not mention that one building was granite, or to simply ignore that building were made out of stone at all!

 

Oh, and when I went to the home page of the SPJ, I found this, which I will copy and paste with the link…it is so freakin' hypocritical, unreal, impossible. One part of the site is telling j school grads to lie and other telling them that:

The Society of Professional Journalists is dedicated to the perpetuation of a free press as the cornerstone of our nation and our liberty.

To ensure that the concept of self-government outlined by the U.S. Constitution remains a reality into future centuries, the American people must be well informed in order to make decisions regarding their lives, and their local and national communities.

It is the role of journalists to provide this information in an accurate, comprehensive, timely and understandable manner.

It is the mission of the Society of Professional Journalists:

— To promote this flow of information.
— To maintain constant vigilance in protection of the First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech and of the press.
— To stimulate high standards and ethical behavior in the practice of journalism.
— To foster excellence among journalists.
— To inspire successive generations of talented individuals to become dedicated journalists.
— To encourage diversity in journalism.
— To be the pre-eminent, broad-based membership organization for journalists.
— To encourage a climate in which journalism can be practiced freely.

 

 

Gorebal warming coming to an end

Now this would be funny…expose Him for the fraud He is.

 

Earlier at the conference Lord Christopher Monckton, a policy adviser to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, told an audience that the science will eventually prevail and the "scare" of global warming will go away. He also said the courts were a good avenue to show the science.

Yeah, people are finally starting to listen to me!

Pure Insanity…still

Wow…that is all I can say. There are so many quotes in the article I am linking here, and I am going to comment on them all…as soon as I finish my paper, my summary, and the intro to the team paper.

 

Really, too much real life to get to before I blog…

 

"Palestinian militants fire rockets nearly daily at Sderot and other Israeli border towns near Gaza. But by reaching Ashkelon, a city of 120,000 people about 11 miles north of Gaza, Hamas raised the stakes considerably. It is one of the largest cities in southern Israel, home to Mediterranean beaches, a college and strategic installations like an electric plant and a water purification plant."

 

Umm, that would most likely be the same water and power that the militants were whining about a few weeks ago. And how is it that Sderot can be attacked constantly but now that the rich and pretty are attacked the stakes are raised?

 

"We will not turn into Sderot," Shimoni said, referring to the town that has suffered most of the rocket attacks over the past seven years. The rockets have killed 13 people, wounded dozens more, caused millions of dollars in damage and made daily life unbearable.

 

Oh, now I see.

 

"The fact that more than a dozen rockets have targeted the major population center of Ashkelon is a sign that the terrorists have broken through a new threshold in their war against the Israeli civilian population," said Mark Regev, a spokesman for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. "We will have to act to protect our people."

 

Gee, about time.

 

So, there I go, posting about stuff happening on the other side of the globe to a country that I have never seen. It is terrible what the terrorists are doing to Israel, just like it is terrible what the terrorists are doing in Somalia, in Sudan, in Chechnya, in Pakistan…you get the picture. Or at least I hope you do.

 

And then add to the insanity by figuring out that the rockets were made in Iran and things just get worse.

Reality again

This guy is most likely gonna vote for Obama…does that tell you anything? The picture is from Zombie time, through LGF. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Someday I will have the time to photograph the nuts in Chester County, we sure have enough of them.
