CNN and CBS are in talks to jointly gather news. You can read it here.
This is not a good idea. A free press only works when it is adversarial, not only with sources but with other news gathering agencies. We are already living in a time where corporations control what is being heard from all media. Combining news organizations means the same storyline will be heard from many different mouths, regardless of the channel.
This is not a free press in any sense of the word.
News gathering should not be limited to what is amenable to the corporate bottom line....It is only the people who suffer.

Ted Haggard Syndrome
Heterosexual with Issues or closeted and self loathing?
Another anti gay crusader comes falling out of the closet with his pants down. The Right righteous reverend George Rekers took a rentboy on 10 day European vacation recently, Rekers said to carry his luggage.
Must a been packin' some heavy stuff in those bags. Rekers co-founded the Family Research Council with the Rev James Dobson, who has been curiously silent about the whole affair.
A rent boy is just what the name implies...a boy rented for sex, usually by old rich and closeted gay men.

Women make better Doctors
My reason for believing this is not the norm. I was indoctrinated very young. My mom worked for two doctors who happen to be female. One of them was the first woman to get her medical license in Ohio, the other one was a female pioneer Ob-gyn. One actually delivered me, the other functioned as my doctor when I was a kid.
Saw them both whenever I came to the office.
One day, however, they were both gone and a third doctor appeared to treat my tonsillitis. At least he said he was a doctor. Mom said, I wouldn't let him put his hands on me, because I didn't believe he was really a doctor. All the doctors I knew were ladies, and the only guy I ever saw in the office was a secretary and receptionist. He was also married to one of my docs.
To my 5 year old mind, this guy was trying to mess with me. My mom had to step in and explain things the way only a mother can....”sit your behind down and let him look at you!”
I got the message. But I wasn't convinced until I talked with Doc Schneider the next time I saw her.

Bringing Civilization to the Natives
Sudan now has it's first golf course, thanks to some Swiss architect based in Dubai. It's just 9 holes, but it's a start....
Now if someone will quell the political unrest, drop the price on clean drinking water and build some toilets for the people and schools for the kids..

Palin! Please Go Home!
You know, I thought that when Obama won the election, that Sarah Palin would go home and quietly resume her gubernatorial duties up in that great white wasteland called Alaska. I gleefully thought,
“Hey....we won’t have Sarah Palin to kick around anymore...”
Silly me. She went home all right, but quietly? Nah...I should have known...quiet is just not her style.
I guess the national spotlight is addicting. Once you get a taste of it, positive or negative, you crave more and more and more.
Maybe McCain should have let her do more press while she was campaigning in order to get it out of her system. I mean, girlfriend has been on a 24/7 jaunt through the media, granting interviews to anyone who asks, attempting to debunk all the stuff that’s been coming out of her mouth for the past couple of months.
She’s not a diva, according to her, while she invites Greta Van Susteren into her kitchen to watch her cook ala Martha Stewart. She’s sorting through the clothes to determine which ones are hers and which ones belong to the GOP....First off, all she has to do is to look for the Walmart tickets...those are hers...The ones with the fancy names on the tickets...those belong to the GOP. The silk boxers have to go back, too...too cold for snow machine races through the wilderness.
And of course she knows that Africa is a continent, not a country, and she reads the same stuff in Alaska that we read in the lower 48. But banning Harry Potter? C’mon! She loves Harry Potter. She apparently doesn’t like bloggers, though.
Damn! When I write about Sarah, I get out of bed, take off my pajamas and go into my office, and sit at my desk, out of respect. After all, writing is my job. It’s what I do. It’s hard to work in bed, unless you’re a hooker. Okay, maybe some days I sit down at my desk in my pajamas, especially when it’s cold outside, that is what I like about working at home. But there were many days during the campaign that I stood in the crowd to witness Palin power, first hand, way out in the suburbs. Then I jumped into my gas guzzling SUV and drove all the way back to the city and wrote about what I saw and heard with my own ears. I had to make those trips because Sarah and John never came to my neighborhood to talk to me and my neighbors. And from what I saw on the telly, Palin never visited any places like my neighborhood, anywhere in the country. I just figured we were not “real” enough for her.
Oh, and she’s going to let GOD tell her whether or not she should run for office in 2012. I thought the witch doctor and GOD were going to handle it for her this time around in 2008. She and that charlatan James Dobson said God would speak on election day. Well, God did speak and so did the American people. But I guess Sarah wasn’t listening too closely, She got the message about going home, she just doesn’t understand that we and maybe God, want her to stay there, permanently.

Passing Thoughts..........
Wonderful WINO!
Probably my favorite radio jingle in the whole world, for the fictitious radio station W.I.N.O. The station existed in the mind of George Carlin, who played all the parts, the anchor, the sports reporter and of course Al, the hippy dippy weatherman.
Heaven’s got one funny comedy club going on up there....Nipsy, Flip, Godfrey, Richard, and now George.
Rest in peace, Mr. Carlin.

Imus in the Morning...
I heard the tape of what he said about Pacman Jones. I don’t buy his explanation. But I also don’t understand why anyone is surprised by what he said. Imus is paid to stir up shit. That’s how the station makes money off of him. Let’s move on, shall we...

Pregnancy pact.
17 girls pregnant at the same time. Is it a plot? No it’s just another example of failed government policy. The Bush administration mandates that only abstinence be taught in schools or by any agency receiving federal funds. Earlier this year, the Gloucester School doctor and nurse quit because they couldn’t give birth control pills to kids who wanted them. Face it, the kids are going to have sex whether we like it or not. Give them choices, please, or shut up about the growing number of accidental babies being born. Teaching real health might also cut down on the STD problem, too.

Focus on the Family’s James Dobson attacking Barack Obama...First the Christian right tried to paint him as Muslim, now they’re saying he’s not Christian enough. Never mind Don Imus, the James Dobsons of the world are the real dangers in America.

Tit for Tat
The UK has banned Martha Stewart, so the US turns around and refuses to grant a visa to Boy George.... A Queen for a Diva....Sounds like a fair exchange.
