P.S. And we wonder why the same old incorrect rehashed quote by the Hawaii official regarding Obama BC get put out there over and over.
I never thought I’d miss the Watergate guys.

Horse before cart, they are journalists because they a lazy to start, that are math is just to hard!!!!LOL
They mention the “news” way too late and they get it wrong anyway.
Motto: “Yesterday’s News Tomorrow!”
The “zietiest” of this age has already been written.
The men of print media have & will progress through the following sequence: from obscurity to social purpose, from social purpose to prominence, from prominence to power, from power to wealth, from wealth to commercialism from commercialism to social irrelevance, from social irrelevance to debt, from debt back to obscurity.”
One hopes at least.

Listen to Devvy Kidd read The Great Communitarian Hoax. Hopefully this will come back into print. It explains exactly what is occurring today in the USofA and how Socialism is spread through Mandatory Community Service and the easy ‘jump’ from there to mindless sheeple accepting Marxism.
Scary stuff. Listen and learn.
Top 10 suggestions for newspapers:
1) Fire “journalists”, hire “reporters”. A reporter does not have a journalism degree. He doesn’t actually need a degree, but if he has one, it should be in something other than journalism.
2) Reporters cover beats. This means physical areas like sections of town, or categories, like “crime & fire”, “city hall”, and “special events”. They have to know the people in their beat, personally, which means hanging out with them.
3) All you need to have a “wire service” is a password protected web site, and a quid pro quo from its members, that don’t have to be big media. If they take a news story, they give one back, which is rated by the other members. Quickly there will be more national and international news than you need.
4) The Internet will always win with quality, so newspapers have to beat it with quantity, by giving the same amount of news on one page that it would take three hours of web surfing to read. The pyramid style of writing is only for major stories, and inside, not on the front page.
5) Write for what your subscribers want to read, not what you want them to read. The days of an editorial “sob sister”, who writes to offend, are long over. Fruitcakes and freaks are not “responsible opposing viewpoints” to normal, sane people, and do not deserve equal time or a soapbox.
6) Reporters should have dozens of informants each, and pay them tiny amounts via PayPal for story leads. A dollar a story will strongly motivate a lot of grandmothers with time on their hands.
7) There are hundreds of Internet comic strip artists who would kill for a dollar a strip in a real newspaper. The heck with the syndicates.
8) If you can come up with a computer generated crossword puzzle from hell, a lot of people will drive 10 miles every day to get your paper, if they have to. But it has to be fearsome.
9) Create local celebrities among businessmen and scholars, and tout the other celebrities who live in the area. Veterans and old timers are always good copy.
10) Sponsor local high school competitions for minor sports, music, movies, etc., and run faculty approved student reporter write-ups for them. Boy and Girl Scouts, JROTC, and other organizations are very popular locally.
Anyone know of a good alternative to Google?
There are some lousy search engines out there but I would like to find a good alternative.
Not only that; they are all enamoured with Wikipedia being the definitive source for Truth and Light! Especially for political info. Yeah, I know it's redundant but the only term that fits is Stupid Maggots !!
