->> This guy is a laugh riot.

http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/12/reporters-should-be-barred-from...

Doesn't he realize that Pajamas TV is part of the media.

Joe quote: "you don’t know the full story behind it half the time. "

So does that mean we know the full story half the time?

I sure hope the IRS makes sure he pays ALL his taxes on the moneys he's being paid to sound off. Grin.

->> We should all be plumbers..

The last plumber I invited over charged me $75 just for the estimate, then $75 an hour for the work. He rented almost all his tools. I think the only thing he owned was his pretty new panel van.

As Photographers, we buy tens of thousand of dollars of equipment and $75 an hour - well it's a dream for the majority of Photojournalists.

Makes me wonder about my own sanity some days.

But President Lincoln said, and this may not be totally accurate, but I think I'm closer to it than you."You can fool some of the people all of the time, or you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." President Abraham Lincoln 1861-1865.

"I don’t think journalists should be anywhere allowed war"

my blood pressure boiled even more. How ridiculous is THAT! My fan-ness has severely wavered. I have no idea why anyone would take that attitude.

A healthy dose of skepticism is good, but looking for conspiracy behind every corner is not - whether that is this attack on the "MSM" or Hillary's VRWC.


Got go, there's a black helicopter outside my window.
