Thoughts on News and Questions

Personally.. I understand the need to think twice before pasting someone's dead uncle on the cover of the NY Times but after the black out on press coverage of dead coming back from Iraq... have problems this is not a political decision. From high up...

""It's impossible for me to imagine how you report a story whose subject is death without allowing the public to see images of the subject of the story," Larry Siems of the PEN American Center told Reuters."

News round up..

Fox is doing an article about 4500 registered sex offenders that were in that area of New Orleans and "she" is asking some police official (like he is supposed to know) "where they are now" He admitted some could be there in Baton Rouge, "well..some probably left on their own" duh you think??

Great story Fox.. nice to point it out but would worry more where the parents of the over 1500 missing kids are who have seemingly just left them and aren't worrying about them right now.

Something real stinky on that. Not sure what and have heard all sorts of things from "illegal aliens" afraid to go pick up their kids to the DEATH TOLL is MUCH HIGHER? than they are releasing... well I'm sorry but is the world just assuming these parents are dumb, stupid, poor, ignorant southern/project/ghetoo/bayou... people who can't figure out who to complain to... or don't care? Is there some dumbing down of the system that this is "normal" .. makes no sense to me. People of any color, any region, any religion, any part of the bayou and even those illegally here normally want their children found and would raise bloody hell to look for them... find a reporter, someone... Either these children were found and have no parents calling for them (number of found parents is real low and covered widely in the media) or there are a lot more dead parents not found .... somewhere?

Think on it a bit..... do people up north just figure that's the way it is "down south" ??

IMUS doing a story on Brown

CNN doing stories on the Hospital and deaths of elderly patients.

Is it just me on this? Why did I think this was some back woods, small, older facility that was unable to get help not a BIG hospital. I thought maybe it was just some small, facility something like one step up from a badly run nursing home. Never realized it was a BIG hospital...

I don't understand how patients were not immediately looked out for.. have so many memories of old, sick patients being moved off of Miami Beach which in 92 was still a partial condo-nursing home community. Was the cover of the Herald the day before Andrew... old people, looking frail being moved on city buses..

Now CNN is doing Brown..

Now the famous Missing kids

No.................they are NOT missing KIDS...they are MISSING PARENTSKids are found.... parents seem missing in actionThat would be 2 x 1700 in most cases so not just 1700 people missing but 3400 parents (mothers and fathers)

1700 kids unaccounted for400 parents were found..there are 1700 LEFT ... with missing parents

Bon Van Dillen is doing weather... CNN... sort of drifting nnwcome on.. its spinning, lets move on

This thing gets close to Philly and my daughter is going to freak

Great quote.. "we are just going to have to follow this for the next 3 or 4 or 5 days"
switching channels...nice shirt, no Cantore

CNN has line on bottom "State of Emergency" talking to someone who went with troops from Oregon looking for people/bodies in areas that were flooded a few days ago. They said they are finding a lot of survivors who are holed up and not leaving.... a few other houses have bright day glow orange sprayed on them meaning they found a body and will go back and investigate later.
Notice all the women anchors have straightened hair... maybe I need to go on Network TV to find someone who can do magic with my hair. Can't get that sort of hair unless I wear a wig.
Weather guy I like less than the one in Headline News..
