Yello's big moment will always be from Ferris Buellers Day Off. "Oh Yeah"

Well, it's only my opinion of course, de gustibus non disputandum est and all that, yet I think, Knacker, that the selections linked to in tonight's show are all significantly artistically better than Oh Yeah, pace the latter's marketing success. Of course, that's obvious, I s'pose, since otherwise I would have provided a link to Oh Yeah ;-)

Journalists Looking For Government Money

Natch, the article links to the WaPo where, well... let's just say that I eagerly await the day technology becomes available that will make it possible to line a birdcage or clean a walleye on a web page.

Addendum:

Comments at the WaPo are positively ruthless. :)

I am not very familiar with Yello, I am just refering to the very huge population that is only familiar with them through the one song. I could be wrong, but they are a bit of a one hit wonder to a majority. I am only stating this on my own experience since I have never heard another song of theirs other than "Oh yeah" till now. I am not being critical of their talent other than pop culture at least here in North America doesn't hold them high.

All said, I do not listen to music on radio because they fail the community when it comes to talent and not just marketing.

Good choice of music.

Re: Son of slain imam arrested in Windsor, etc., Maybe they were right when they said that Canada is the gateway to Islamic terrorists.

NP, thank you SO MUCH for their WaPo diatribe. Like you said, the comments are priceless! Here's one of my favourites:

"I am concerned that if the direction of the news is all blogosphere, all opinions, with no serious fact-checking, no serious attempts to put stories in context, that what you will end up getting is people shouting at each other across the void but not a lot of mutual understanding,"

The number of big media articles that aren't fact checked are legion. The only context big media presents is their own, cocconed, liberal, world view. People shouting at each other - exactly what the current WH does, to any that dare disagree.

I anxiously await WaPo's granting OP space for an informed, dissenting opinion.

Alas, the poor newspaper that will be dragged down by big media's bias. It's bias (liberal advocacy) that we detect using the internet for alternate "takes" on the "news", NOT internet news per se, supplanting big media news. The little guys (media) get pulled down with the big guys. How do the little guys report international & national news? By publishing, in whole, from AP, Guardian, UPI, NYT, WaPo, LAT, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. Liberally biased, opinion & advocacy stoked, all.

The little guys never had a chance. If the authors of this howler really think they have more than a snowballs chance, maybe they could increase their odds, by coming out for a true fairness doctrine - staff this so called "independent" media, with journalists that reflect the 2:1 split between conservatives and liberals. The moderates can triangulate. NO, you the media have already shown your bias; We the People, need to decide who's conservative vs liberal.

The number of blog articles that aren't fact checked are legion. The only context the blogosphere presents is their own, cocooned, self-serving, world view. People shouting at each other - exactly what the current blogosphere does, to any that dare disagree.

Fair and Balanced, dontcha know...

Even so, there's more truth in the blogosphere than the mainstream media, due in large part to the fact that nobody pays bloggers so there is no hidden agenda to enrich anyone pulling the strings (unless they think of bribing a blogger, which I suppose will begin to happen because corruption always finds a way in).

And if nothing else, Spuriously Yours, at least the blogosphere is willing to attempt to discuss the nature of truth itself, which is something you'll be hard pressed to find in retail media markets ;-)

"Climate economist says he was 'gagged'

A SENIOR CSIRO environmental economist has gone public to accuse the science body of trying to gag his report attacking the Federal Government's climate change policies.

The paper, by Clive Spash, criticises the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and argues that direct legislation or a tax on carbon is needed...

Dr. Spash also wrote that the economic theory underpinning emissions trading schemes was far removed from the reality ...

He said trading schemes were ineffective ...

He claims the CSIRO had tried to block the publication of the report, despite it being internationally peer reviewed and accepted by the journal New Political Economy."

"Lawrence Solomon: Enjoy the warmth while it lasts

Thank your lucky stars to be alive on Earth at this time. Our planet is usually in a deep freeze. The last million years have cycled through Ice Ages that last about 100,000 years each, with warmer slivers of about 10,000 years in between.

We are in-betweeners, and just barely — we live in (gasp!) year 10,000 or so after the end of the last ice age. But for our good fortune, we might have been born in the next Ice Age.

Our luck is even better than that."

[ Besides the snow, which the Beijing Evening News said was the earliest to hit the capital in 10 years ..]

But it was man-made , dontyaknow.

[ The North Atlantic hurricane season has not produced a storm in over 3-weeks and, if no more develop, the season overall would rank as the slowest since the El Nino year of 1997.]

mmmmm, in 2005 Al Gore said ;

"It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly and wisely. "Global warming" is the name it was given a long time ago. But it should be understood for what it is: a planetary emergency that now threatens human civilization on multiple fronts. Stronger hurricanes and typhoons represent only one of many new dangers as we begin what someone has called "a nature hike through the Book of Revelation." "

And he finished off with;
"This is a moral moment. This is not ultimately about any scientific debate or political dialogue. Ultimately it is about who we are as human beings. It is about our capacity to transcend our own limitations."

The only difference between Gore's Kult and Jimmy Jones' is the orders of magnitude !!

I surfed over to Warren Kantsellit's website (I know - just a boring Sunday morning) to see what stupidity he was spouting. Came across a commentary on how its PMSH's fault that there is a shortage of the H1N1 serum.

I challenged him to write another commentary explaining why it must be PMSH's fault that the US is experiencing the very same problems we are in that regard.

I told him he was absolutely capable of writing that kind of stupidity.

Here is statistical research on “Health Reform Language Highlights“ by Frank Luntz.
If you agree or not, it is interesting read.

"Motion on Adscam to be moved

I’ve learned that Peterborough Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro will move the following motion at committee on Tuesday:

November 1st 2009 represents the fourth anniversary of the first report of the Commission of Inquiry into the Sponsorship Program and Advertising Activities, presided over by Justice Gomery. Despite the time that has passed, we are no closer to knowing which Federal Liberal riding associations benefited from the stolen taxpayer funds or where the missing $43 million dollars highlighted by Justice Gomery ultimately wound up.

The Standing committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics calls on the Auditor General of Canada to conduct a full audit of the sponsorship program to determine which federal Liberal riding associations received stolen funds and to clarify for Canadians who received the missing $43 million dollars."

"Naked cheat gets frozen out

A LOVE cheat balances naked and shivering on an air conditioning vent after being caught romping with another man's wife. Sun Meng, 25, fled outside with the husband yelling abuse from his apartment window. This photo was taken by a neighbour - then posted on a local community website. Sun said in Chengdu, central China: "People are even laughing at how I look naked. But I must point out it was a very cold day."

Coyote Cocaine.

‘There is a huge cocaine culture so it should look out for its employees. … Two weeks ago the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee inquiry into the cocaine trade was told by former BBC producer Sarah Graham that she was offered the drug on her first day at the Corporation.

‘The BBC executives must know it is happening and should protect people like my daughter when they enter the industry.’ …

This is my thought for the day: I received this in an email. Nothing says is better and I would like to share:

Catching Wild Pigs

A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt.

The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government.

In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?'

The professor thought it was a joke, and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again, and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them, and catch the whole herd.

Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America . The government keeps pushing us toward socialism, and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. While we continually lose our freedoms -- just a little at a time.

One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch! Also, a politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.

Also, if you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to send this on to your friends.

If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably delete this email, but God help you when the gate slams shut!

Keep your eyes on the newly elected politicians who are about to slam the gate on America .

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have." Thomas Jefferson

What a coincidence! The other day I wrote a song for you, and all the things you do. And it was called Yello!

I hated the band Yello ... There, I've said it.
