Dear Liza
How’s your weekend starting out? Mine is fabulous. Why? Well because I love my new Saturday mornings. I know, I should be sad about 15 no longer playing spring sports – specifically baseball. After all, that’s the sport he’s played the longest. 9 months out of the year essentially since he was 5. And as [...]
Spare me the mommy wars – please!
Ugh! Again with the Mommy Wars in the media? Ok, I suppose first we should blame whoever conducted this “controversial study”. I mean really,what’s the damn point? No, I wont look it up to link to it and give it more eyeballs. I find the premise of it insulting enough. Apparently the gist of THIS [...]
Be careful what you share on Facebook. An illustrative guide on how lies and misconceptions are spread.
Be careful what you share on Facebook. An illustrative guide on how lies and misconceptions are spread.. Fascinating look at how you really need to question what you read on the internet! People are so very easily misled. Since it’s technically about a political article, I posted it over on my Politics and Media site.
So why was this quote used?
His friends still worry. “I think he’s getting close to a burnout kind of thing,” said Sam Smith, a former Chicago Tribune sports writer, basing this not on anything Mr. Axelrod told him. Mr. Smith added that he speaks only sporadically to his friend these days, mainly about sports, and that Mr. Axelrod has always [...]
Book 4 of 52 – So Wrong for So Long
So Wrong for So Long: How the Press, the Pundits–and the President–Failed on Iraq by Greg Mitchell My rating: 4 of 5 stars I am saddened to say that I discovered the fabulous Editors & Publishers website *just* before it closed shop. It is being re-launched under the same name, but without the brilliant editor [...]
Must see & hear to laugh & dance into the weekend!
I just had to share these two things to escort you into the weekend. I’m still quite flabbergasted from yesterday’s unexpected promotion of my post to the main WordPress front page – which explains why there are all those comments! I’m used to 1 or 2, not 30!! Anyhoo, as I gather energy and recover [...]
Some people say…….
…. that I have green eyes. Some people say……. ……. that the Loch Ness Monster is real. Some people say…….. ……. that they saw Elvis just last week (for real!) and some people say…….. ……. that Fox News is Fair and Balanced. No matter which news station you watch, or listen to, or which news [...]
No, he was NOT a nice young man!
Media Rant: Is anyone else just over and done with that tired line? I’d really like to know what the purpose is of interviewing neighbors of accused criminals? Really, what the hell do you expect to learn that the police haven’t figured out at that point? Has an interview with a neighbor EVER provided any [...]
I was wrong – AIG unlocked my writing brain
I’ve talked before how the passage of Prop 8 here in California was a double edged sword for gay rights. Yeah, it was a setback, but I believe that was only momentary. The passage created so much publicity that the topic of gay marriage and dicussions on nearly every news program brought the conversation out [...]
The media – GAH! Or, maybe it’s the people watching?
*Note – my own life is rather incredibly routine at the moment so putting the spotlight on others is just way more interesting * I saw this tag line on Politico today during lunch: “Going gray’s just fine, man” and I immediately knew it was a write up on Howard Fineman. Why? Because while watching [...]
