Obama and the chilling of press freedom

In the good old days they chanted ‘yes we can’..

Now they can’t.

Is the internet making you (think you're) ill? You're a cyberchondriac

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..

If federal workers 'cheat' and actually work during furlough, they face a $5,000 fine or time in federal prison

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. ??

CONSERVATIVES IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Obama summons conservative columnists to the White House, including Krauthammer, Costa, Gigot, Parker, York..

Absent were people that readers actually read..

Where the lonely people in New York City go after they die..

What happens when a homeland New Yorker dies? SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE writes about Hart Island, a place you never want to be ..

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..

Pentagon Withholding Death Benefits for Fallen Soldiers' Families

No, this is not Newt Gingrich in drag. It’s Janet Yellen. And yes, she’s a woman.

Expect to see her face a lot more from now one.

Give em’ Yellen: Janet Yellen about to take over the Federal Reserve. Evans Pritchard writes: “The Fed will be looser for longer. The FOMC will continue to print money until the US economy creates enough jobs to reignite wage pressures and inflation, regardless of asset bubbles, or collateral damage along the way”

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..?
