Cnn reporters suggests that water cannons should be used in Ferguson
Oh good God.. The coverage is getting out of hand..
This is what happens when there is a
Vacuum in reporting . No more Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, or Tom Brokaw.. Instead amateur has taken over all the cable news networks, and people cannot discern and logically report anything without a TelePrompTer telling them so..
And people wonder why the citizen journalist is more respected than the highly paid newsman.. Look no no further than dithering comments about police using water cannons on protesters..
This whole situation is amazingly spiraling out of control..
Cnn reporters suggests that water cannons should be used in Ferguson
This happened during a cnn interview last night in Ferguson.. During live coverage of the protests, someone held up an ‘ISIS IS HERE’ banner for cameras to see..
A provocation of violence? A show of solidarity with terrorists? All a fraud to scare the nation?
We do know this: Many outsiders are attempting to hijack the message from Ferguson. Some want violence to drown out the important facts relative to the shooting of Michael Brown..
That may be what this ISIS sign is intended to do..
Or .. They are here ..
Don Pardo is dead at 96..
You may not know him by his face, but you would definitely know him by his voice. He was the longtime voice of Saturday Night Live, only missing one season throughout the entirety of the programs lifespan.
He is done a number of other voice over jobs, you may also recognize him from the program Jeopardy..
Television may not be the same without him, regardless of how bad or good Saturday Night Live was, his voice being the mainstay and permanent fixture of the program was comforting..
May he rest in peace..
TIN FOIL HEADS UP: God will give me two or three more years, says Pope
For anyone worrying about that old prophecy of the popes, better get your tin foiled hat ready and prepped.. If Francy has two more years, then theoretically we would, too.. Right? If Malachy was right.
If the bible told you so..

Ghost coffee: Megan Fox Believes in Everything Paranormal
In a recent interview, Megan Fox revealed that she is a strong believer of paranormal activities.
In an MTV interview, the Hollywood star who often bares everything down to the thumbs spoke about her belief in all things strange and paranormal—Bigfoot and UFOs, and everything in between..
On aliens, Fox asked:
If they are a more advanced species, why would we be able to find them if they don’t want to be found?
On ghosts:
She never saw one, but said someone—or something—poured her a cup of coffee while she was out of the room in a hotel. She said no one else was there.. But coffee was ready..
It’s assumed that you’ll most likely immediately forget the FOX paranormal logic when you see this:

PROTESTERS STORM GOVERNOR’S ST. LOUIS OFFICE – Demand Removal of National Guard in Ferguson
AND THE NIGHT BEGINS TO FALL ON THE TOWN OF FERGUSON…
PROTESTERS STORM GOVERNOR’S ST. LOUIS OFFICE – Demand Removal of National Guard in Ferguson
The events taking place in Ferguson Missouri are being watched by all states.. the national divide appears strong in some quarters of the country.. Racial tensions are exploding .. rage is developing like a summer heat wave of emotion and hate.. And charges of overreach are being hurled at Ferguson police over their use of Pentagon style weapons in the face of looters and protesters in the killing of Michael Brown.. Things progressed Sunday night into the chaos terriroty.. Governor Nixon is calling in the National Guard to secure a sense of order in a town consumed by anarchy and anger.. This latest turn of events taking place after a week and one day of protests, often coupled with tear gas and more..
However, though an important illustration of life and race relations in America at this time, the story taking place in Ferguson goes beyond just colors that are skin deep.. Something else is in clearer focus: Police actions throughout this nation..
There seems to be an increased presence of cops in Darth Vader gear, military style weapons, tasers and guns constantly drawn..
When my wife and I were traveling home on Easter with our son from a family dinner, we were actually pulled over by police for going 5 miles over the speed limit in a construction zone–an inactive zone on Easter Sunday.. The police offer gave us a near $200 citation (no points as illustration of ‘kindness’ on a holiday) .. But the way the officer acted was absurd. While I understand his job is dangerous and without any real moment of safety, to place your hand on your gun the entire time you’re talking to a family on a Easter Sunday afternoon is a bit much. But continuing to do so while looking at my son, holding his Easter basket of candy and nickles, is ludicrous… my wife and I sort of froze in our seats as we saw him eye us up with the possibility of drawing out his weapon at any point, wondering if any wrong move may have equaled an uncomfortable moment or something even more dire..
Whether it’s real or just perception, police action and the reaction from the citizenry is getting dicier by the day..
Even the biggest proponents of law, order, and police are uncomfortable with allegations of brutality, video evidence of brutality, and local police forces ditching blue uniforms for those that look more like a Central American army ..
This is not just a story of Ferguson.. this is a story that goes deeper. There are hundreds if not more websites and Facebook pages popping up daily to document what many deem as police abuse. Stories of such nature garner thousands of comments at a time..
The latest example I have seen making headlines: Ocala Florida police are defending their forces against charges of abuse after cops after a 30 second video made the rounds online showing Roy Sherman being tased and mistreated.. Cops released their own footage showing that there’s much more to the story than a 30 second mistreatment, and that the altercations stemmed from resistance to cooperate and attempting to drive away from the scene.
And that seems to be the common denominator: For every example of mistreatment, police forces circle their wagons and release their own story. Their own point of view–a view obviously shaped by common criminals and high profile scum that they regularly have to deal with. Even in Ferguson, police seem to be standing their ground by showcasing a video of Michael Brown supposedly robbing a convenience store before police killed him for unrelated reasons..
The tension between police and the policed is not going away, however. Instead, with each passing day and each new cell phone camera videptaping arrests, the situation is being antagonized.
Meanwhile, FBI and state threat fusion centers are busy documenting the ‘bad guys’ .. The victims are often innocent. The police often over react. Things happen–bad things. Tasers..guns.. weapons of war.. All at the center of this debate.
Judging from the scenario still unfolding in Ferguson, there does not appear to be a relief from the allegations of police abuse, or police abuse, as well..
A national trend .. We all need to calm down.
If only it was that way.
Gone are the days of a police officer walking the beat down a friendly street.. (unless those moments of tranquility were just confined to old movies and comedy shows to begin with).. Enter the days of war of the worlds. Police, armed to teeth with Pentagon gifts of battle, and the homegrown citizen, often angry and unemployed. Stretched to the limit by a troubled economy. Some black, some white.. some Hispanic.. some Muslim–but seldom the rich. The masses are increasingly cased by classes.. Rich vs poor is more common than people admit. The real color blind foe: Elitism and classism.. But the wealthy don’t want you to know that..
Different strokes. Different folks.
Different standards .. different hazards..
The ties that bind us often blind us.
We’re in this together..
All people. The police, included.. The quicker we realized that we are a nation united to stand the faster we’ll prevent the divided fall.
