Crazy Is as Crazy Does

Is is just me? Or are there other people in this country who believe that Sarah Palin is a lightweight, ego-centric, vitriolic crybaby. Think about it. She runs as the Republican V.P. candidate with John McCain in 2008 and basically looses the election for him. Granted, McCain had problems of his own. However, too many people stepped back and said, 'OMG, this woman will be a heartbeat away from being the President and we cannot vote for McCain.'

But within the last two years, Palin and her people [there are brains behind the machine] have used Twitter, the Net and other tech savvy tools to her advantage. And the media eats it up, like Dancing With the Stars [oh that's Bristol]!

If you just listened to the Media Moguls you would think she is the voice of the Republican Party, the Tea Party and the Libertarian Party, all at the same time.

But behind the scenes the reality breaks through. WATCH:

Thank goodness I'm not alone!

Media Hype Causing 'Flu-Steria'!

Via Joshua Holland

We’ve all had the flu before. By and large, you feel like crap for a few days and then it passes.

Occasionally, a particularly vir.ulent strain emerges that can pose a real threat. And while it's possible that could end up being the case with this bug (H1N1), there’s little evidence to suggest that we’re facing anything of the sort thus far (all the cases outside of Mexico have been run-of-the-mill bouts of the flu.

That hasn’t prevented media hucksters from dragging everyone into the tent and putting on a massive circus. From CNN to the New York Times, it’s wall-to-wall flu-steria! And it’s totally overblown — flu virus doesn’t do well in warm temperatures, and with a few dozen non-life threatening cases in this country, coming this close to the end of the season, this outbreak of flu should be a page 15 story.

Time will tell if this is "much ado about the swine flu."

We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike.
We are never as bad off or as happy as we say we are.
