Obama and the chilling of press freedom
In the good old days they chanted ‘yes we can’..
Now they can’t.

And I am.
It could be the worst part of having all this information at my fingertips.. And lots of incorrect diagnoses to prove it..

Committing Miriam Carey..
This should not come as a shock to anyone who has any inkling of knowledge of the Miriam Carey killing in Washington DC, but it’s finally official revealed that she possessed no weapons and had “no motive” to do what she did.. Of course, her action and the lack of a weapon didn’t help stop her demise. Police shot her and killed her in front of her one-year-old child after a wild day of varied news reports ..
I ask you this, though.. Why the silence? An innocent African American woman gunned down at close range by an army of police officers in the Nation’s Capitol.. and what occurs? Congress gives a standing ovation … no civil rights leaders speak up.. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton don’t say a word any of this.. Who will weep for Miriam Carey? Her family, for one… perhaps one day her young child, a child who will luckily not remember seeing her mother be shot dead as the nation’s media happily cheered on the state’s actions in making sure she didn’t live any more seconds to tell why she was acting the way she was the day she died. enough, the family of Carey has not been permitted to view her body.. They haven’t seen the child.. few are asking how her car slammed security gates, but didn’t have air bags deploy, and didn’t have any hardcore visible damage when cops finally cornered her. And finally, the big one, why are no media organizations concerned with the reality of events and why she actually died that fateful day in Washington D.C. ??
Where the lonely people in New York City go after they die..
Hart Island is 131 acres and has been uninhabited for years..
It’s on the Western Part of Long Island.
And since 1869, the location has been used as a burial grounds for those who could not afford the luxuries of higher priced funerals and caskets..
According to the eerie report from SMITHSONIAN, 2,000 people a year are buried there, with about 850,000 in all over the past 100+ years..Even more: Dismembered body parts constitute a small minority of the burials. SMITHSONIAN REPORTS:
An estimated one-third of the burials are of very young children. With one exception—“special child baby 1 1985,” the first child to die of AIDS in New York City—the bodies are buried in mass graves..
McDonald’s worker arrested after telling company president she can’t afford shoes
You are reading that headline right. She was arrested—not told to stop, not removed—but arrested at the public event for heckling the President of McDonalds.
Even people who heckle the president don’t get arrested..that’s president of the United States.

Famous paintings are turning black.. and it’s being blamed on mercury..Apparently elemental mercury, which forms under exposure to light and chlorine ions in the air, degrades paintings.. and some famous images painted by famed men of the past, are turning black..
The Quiet Zone in West Virginia--where cell phones and WIFI are nonexistent for 13,000 square miles..
There are no physical signs you’ve entered the National Radio Quiet Zone, a 13,000-square-mile area that covers the eastern half of West Virginia.
Interesting..
There is a lot of ‘noise’ .. but real and white noise. Sometimes you can almost feel the electronic bursts of WIFI and cell towers flowing through your body like a cancerous disease.
But not in this location in West Virginia..
….though maybe some other things lurk in this same quiet zone..?

In regards to the article you posted, in high school all my classes started switching over to reading and math courses geared to doing well on the state tests. That's all we learned over and over. How to solve common questions on those tests. What we were learning bored me. It didn't make me think. It required no real skill or thought process. It was the same shit over and over every year. Now wonder we are so stupid. I used to love learning before it became all about the state tests.
Thanks for the message. I know what you mean..
Everything in education seems to be just “processed” anymore, like McDonalds food. The same education everywhere.. no matter the class size or background of the student. I cannot even imagine many schools teaching local history anymore.. nothing relating to things that matter to the area a child is growing up in..
I am not an education expert—though I have debated as of late whether I should go back to school for a certificate to teach—so until then I cannot really exclaim I know the problems and errors within our system.
But I can say this.. what we are doing is not working. We are raising a generation shaky on basics, and almost absent many fundamentals that other nations have—and our collective hind end is being handed to us with a big giant bow on it..
Again.. something needs to be done to alleviate the masses of the asses, and bring the herd up to speed on what really matters.
A 21st century style of teaching … something else needs to be done in the modern era..
And maybe it already started and I missed the beginning—perhaps others out there with a subject matter expertise on such things can enlighten me and give me hope. Until then… adults in the US of A will just be plain out dumber than the rest of the world..

It’s a melancholy type of day..
This song is about John Lennon. But for some reason, especially this time of year, it reminds me of some very important people in my own personal life that passed away.. There are lots of empty gardens out there.. I know you know of some, too

US adults are dumber than the average human
WASHINGTON — It’s long been known that America’s school kids haven’t measured well compared with international peers. Now, there’s a new twist: Adults don’t either.
US adults are dumber than the average human
An interesting video.. I actually was not aware that kids as young as 13 were subjected to solitary confinement as much as they apparently are.. this video explains and demonstrates that point through some hard hitting scenes..
And now the ACLU has called on the Justice Department to disallow the punishment
(MORE HERE)
Human Rights watch called for a ban a while back..
And really, there does not seem to be any overall public benefit to providing solitary torture for teenagers ..
In a nation that seems fine with disappearing people, giving drones the ability to decide who to kill, and using weapons to stop tourists from looking at Yellowstone, I don’t think this noble goal has much immediate traction..
But it should..
Again.. I never knew it was as prevalent as it is.

You’re looking at a very close image of a Chicken McNugget.
Not lovin’ it: McDonalds “Chicken” McNuggets contain 60% fat, bone, and cartilage.. It’s not big shock, if you have ever had to eat the so-called food product before, you’ll know that it goes far beyond mystery meat.. it’s a meatless mystery—and now we see it’s filled with bones, veins, and all the tissue that couldn’t be served up in a better place.
Rodman!!! What did you do this time!?
Dennis Rodman maybe did not do so well this time around..? North Korea weighs in again on the foreign policy map: They have put their army on alert and warned the United States of ‘a horrible disaster’
South Korea says that the North has restarted nuclear reactor..
Military on ‘emergency posture’
And.. just curious, has anyone heard from Rodman since his last North Korean visit to Lil Kim??
Some shutdown news I have not been hearing much about ..
If the government shutdown continues, the United States nuclear Regulatory Commission will stop operating.. They will run out of funds this week.. One scientist is now on record saying “Yes, I’m worried.”
After lots of ‘bad press’ and even more confusion, the Justice Department has restored AMBER ALERT .. It was never ‘down’ to begin with.. a simple redirect occurred that took you away from the still live page.. clearly a staged takedown to cause an effect—which it, but it backfired ..
This land is your land.. but no one ever said the water was! The FEDs now trying to shut down the OCEAN due to shutdown!
China warns that the clock is ticking on the debt ceiling and default date.. If China calls, will we listen? They own much of what will default.. They don’t want their neighborhood to devolve.. Their investment needs to keep some net value. With Red China weighing in, let’s see how fast they pass..

Long Island Middle School Bans Footballs, Other Recreational Items
Even cartwheels have been banned.. Not sure really what’s left for kids to do. Maybe bring a tin can in and kick it around—only on tin can zones of course..
What types of zany things were these kids doing to cause a ban on all such things?

Uncle grandpa is a good show if u give it a chance there's no harm in cray cray fun
You’re one of many people who have advised me it’s time to shed my fear and tune into UNCLE GRANDPA.

Who will stop the rain?
What can I say.. tropical systems in fall? Wind and rain? All that with leaves changing bright shades of yellow and red? I just love this time of year. I could do without the 80 degree days, of course—something very weird for this part of Northeastern Pennsylvania at this time of year. But I see an extended forecast of glory later this week, after the rainy weather today.. beauty will shine. And even if the weather is not ‘beautiful,’ that’s all in the eye of the beholder anyway.
The world?
Maybe that’s not as beautiful as it once was.
Here’s the rest of the stories..
Shutdown: Now the debt ceiling lingers larger..
MOODY’s CEO says default won’t happen..
Many Pentagon employees recalled..
Government shutdown may lead to some PRIESTS getting arrested!
Stink bug count stops due to shutdown..
Timing is everything—coincidences? Planned? …I don’t know. But the debt ceiling battle will come to a head on October 17—that’s the date the United States will default and will lose the ability to borrow, unless Congress increases the limit and passes a continuing resolution to fund government services. It’s also the date when 37 states will practice an end of the world (at least their world) scenario with the GREAT U.S. SHAKEOUT ..
More Americans are interested in football and Miley Cyrus than they are the government shutdown.. And that may continue until the SOCIAL SECURITY AND DISABILITY checks stop, as Jack Lew has hinted .. if that occurs, I expect search engine results to change rapidly.. What about you? A shutdown at that point would truly come in like a wrecking ball..

ANDERSON COOPER reported a special report for CBS’ 60 MINUTES on the dangers in the sky.. Among the items reported: NASA only found out an asteroid hit Russia in February by looking at Twitter.. There are 100 times more asteroids than what has been located so far.. This is interesting that, yet again, the media is focusing on the calamity that could hit earth if a big object strikes.. There have been way too many ‘close for comfort’ events lately.. and also alarmingly too many news reports telling us about our impending demise if an impending rock slams us..
RUMORS: Why is FEMA prepping for the worst? Could it be all those asteroids?

"We’ve never gotten to the point where the United States government has operated without the ability to borrow," Lew said. "It’s very dangerous. It’s reckless, because the reality is, there are no good choices if we run out of borrowing capacity and we run out of cash."
Lew said the government has been managing to make payments since May by shifting money around, but it will run out of those options on October 17. Unless Congress votes to raise the debt ceiling, the federal government will be left with “a very, very short window of time” before it would have to stop cutting checks for Social Security recipients or disabled veterans and would undermine the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, he said.
Clearly the AMBER ALERT and Let’s Move websites aforementioned on this and other sites are the least of concerns when the social security and disability checks stop..
UNCLE GRANDPA wins
I have been getting messages on here, along with private messages, which make me think my criticism of UNCLE GRANDPA (without really watching it) is not in order.. As a matter of fact, lots of people are telling me the show is great, and has a good message.
I will attempt to get passed his voice.. maybe I’ll give the show a whirl. We’ll see.
A question for all the parents out there..
There are some shows I don’t let me son watch.. there are some shows he watches and does not like (thankfully) .. and one of those shows is UNCLE GRANDPA. He’s not interested yet, but I assume as he ages, he will become so. Which frightens me.. UNCLE GRANDPA may be the single worst cartoon, ever. And quite possibly WORSE in the annoyance level than even CAILLOU.
Who agrees?
