I suggest a liberal use of orange this Easter, but please avoid red if you can! Red is not a relaxing color!

I'm genuinely tired of these highly paid commentators constantly berating the millions of people who simply want nothing more than returning to work in order to feed their families and pay for expenses past due.
Lately, there have been an increasing number of rallies and protests consisting of everyday people demanding freedom from the government's forced lockdowns and business closures around the country. If you watch any "mainstream" media, these protesters have been invariably portrayed as a rag-tag army of "deplorables" who aren't sufficiently intelligent to follow the lofty guidance of government experts. God forbid that some of the protesters actually fly American flags - the media narrative is ubiquitous in referring to them as dangerous far-right activists.
Guess it's difficult to relate to regular people when you're sitting in front of a camera in Midtown Manhattan and reading a script from a teleprompter while earning millions of dollars in the process.
“In January 1897, William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal sent artist Frederic Remington and writer Richard Harding Davis to Cuba, where the famous duo reported on the island's War of Independence. Remington referenced the comic character “Yellow Kid' to voice his concerns about the newspaper's quality.
A few years earlier, cartoonist Richard Outcault had created Yellow Kid, an Irish-American street urchin who sported a bright yellow nightgown, for Joseph Pulitzer's New York World. Seeking to profit from the World's pioneering use of color in comics, Hearst convinced Outcault to bring Yellow Kid to the Journal. As the rivalry between the two newspapers intensified, the character became a symbol of journalistic excess. The terms "yellow press" and “yellow journalism" soon followed.”

After breaking his leg in a disasterous fall at the Death Star Petting Zoo, Stormtrooper Bruce is recoverng back in his quarters, enjoying a quiet visit with his friends - when things suddenly take a turn for the worse.
TK-1110: Well here you are, your first piping hot pizza. Looks like Palpatine is making good on his promise of free pizza for a year since you agreed to have that accident at his DSPZ.
Fett: You'll forgive me if I don't show you much sympathy. Only a moron would go and have a real accident when he's supposed to have a fake one. But the end result is the same, free food as long as we all pretend you were attacked by one of his creepy beasties.
STB: As long as Palpatine is happy, I'm happy.
TK-432: Hey, I was looking through your cook book and found this awesome recipe. Will you be able to give me baking lessons so I can enter the Haunted Alley Bakeoff? I don't need to win, just enter. In my last review I was told I need to participate in more Empire activities.
STB: Baking lessons? Of course I'll hel... Vaders Dogs! Look what the Top Story on the news is tonight! Vader said news of the accident would be spread by word of mouth only! That is NOT word of mouth!
Fett: Really? THAT's how you fell! You look like a Gungan, all twisted and upside down.
STB: Lookit what the editors have done to me! There's no way I looked that ridiculous!
TK-1110: Actually that is exactly how you looked. When I finally turned around and saw you, it was all I could do not to laugh when I was calling the medic droid.
STB: That is so wrong. My reputation will be ruined. I just knew this was going to turn out bad!
TK-432: Relax, just have a few more movie nights and feed us pizza, and this will eventually become a faded memory. Especially if you throw in a few brewskies.
Fett: So, are you still happy?

Anthony Weiner certainly could take advantage of this turnkey operation.
Bloomberg may try to have them post calorie counts on the side of this truck before long just out of Nanny Spite.
Now that Anthony Weiner has confessed to displaying his privates on Twitter he may find himself driving one of these to earn some much needed cash.
So where's the scandal when the Republicans will allow this country to go into default while they and their rich friends live off the spoils of our labors? What is the true scandal that people should really be talking about? It is truly scandalous that corporations and the well heeled 5 percent of the population drive economic policy that affects 95 percent of the US population. It's a scandal that Amy Winehouse, who passed away over the weekend from a drug overdose, got to live her short and tumultuous life free, while hundreds of thousands are incarcerated over small time drug offenses. It's a scandal that Barack Obama has shown absolutely no backbone when dealing with these republican carpetbaggers and war profiteers.
A scandalous place we live in today yet sex always sells papers. Why is sex still a scandal anymore? I'd like to know.
Edited Library of Congress of a Fin de siècle newspaper publisher/proprietor. It appears as if we are in another fin de siècle...

The "Workers Vanguard" obviously pounced on this story and had no problem giving it that extra zing with that lurid headline: "Killed for Being Black in America."
I haven't followed their coverage of police-involved shootings in Chicago and elsewhere, but I'm pretty sure it featured similar headlines.
Fringe publications like this all have a particular ax to grind, but all media outlets routinely sensationalize news events to some extent. Lurid headlines, catchy phrases are meant to captivate the audience, to make them buy that paper, stay tuned to that channel, or click on that link. These days, with thousands of news web-sites competing for advertising dollars on the internet, what could possibly go wrong, right? But that is another story...
My beef with the media right now is their incompetence when it comes to law enforcement terminology. In the Great State of Illinois, we have some very basic rules that govern what we call certain crimes. It may be different than you are accustomed to, so let me explain.
If you break into someone's home for the purpose of stealing their stuff, you are committing a burglary, and you - by definition - are now a Burglar. You are not a "Robber." A house can not be robbed!
If you break into a residence while the people who live there are home, you are committing a Home Invasion. If you are caught, you will be charged with Home Invasion, which is a higher felony classification than Burglary. Depending on what you do to the people who live there, you will also be charged with additional charges for each and every additional felony you commit in the course of that Home Invasion. Those counts add up quick, and before you know it, you'll be a guest of the State for the rest of your miserable life.
If you snatch someone's wallet from the counter while they're not looking, you are a thief. If that person realizes what's going on and you choose to persist and take that wallet by force, you are now a Strong-arm Robber.
Same thing when a woman has her purse stolen, or the ever more popular cell-phone. If the offender can snatch it without physical violence, he's a Thief. If he has to resort to physical violence, it's a Strong-Armed Robbery.
If you want to move up the ladder a bit, you can show the victim a weapon - or otherwise convince them that you have one - and congratulations: you are now an Armed Robber. There is no need to actually use that weapon, but if you do, there will be additional charges for Aggravated Battery or Homicide - depending on how things turn out - in addition to the underlying charge of Armed Robbery. Think of them as bonus points: if you stab or shoot your victim, even if you only pistol-whip them, you earn extra bonus points in the form of additional counts, each redeemable for a few extra years in the Big House.
Now, this is where things get interesting in the State of Illinois: Assault vs. Battery. Actually, it's very simple: if I tell you I'm gonna beat your ass, it's an Assault. If I do beat your ass, it's a Battery. If I threaten you with a knife or a gun, or otherwise put you in fear of serious bodily harm, I am guilty of an Aggravated Assault. If I use that weapon, I am guilty of an Aggravated Battery.
Rape, or as it is called these days, a Sexual Assault, only manages to confuse things more. Whereas in the above examples the Assault only involved the threat of violence, here the Sexual Assault is the act itself. In other words, if there is penetration of some kind, the offender commits the crime of "Criminal Sexual Assault." If there's a weapon involved, it becomes "Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault."
Now, if a bunch of Coppers can learn this stuff, how come those journalism graduates can't figure this stuff out. All the time, I am horrified to learn that yet another House has been robbed, and God knows how many people were tied up and beaten when Burglars broke into their home in the dead of night...
Come on, this shit isn't that difficult, take some pride in your craft. As Cops we are expected to make split-second life and death decisions, which are then dissected by the media for weeks or months on end. You guys have producers, editors, copy-writers, and unlimited resources to help you get the shit right each and every time.

Five shots stitched into a panorama. . All shots done with a monopod which is just as "illegal" as using a tripod on the Hearst Castle tours. When reminded by the docent that monopods are not allowed (the rubber tip on the bottom of the device is the key), I simply replied I was using a walking stick (allowed) that happens to have a screw on the top that fits into threads on the bottom of my camera. Worked this time. You may also try the David Busch ploy that it isn't a tripod/monopod but a PSD....."Photo Stability Device". Sometimes works or at least sends them to the "Docents Guide" to see if PSDs are covered and also not allowed. I also run with scissors and color outside the lines

Fake news and yellow journalism aren't new. Take this page one story in The Plain Dealer on April 14, 1921. It's both appalling and funny that the media believed the mentally handicapped would commit rape, pillage, and general mayhem.
It appears that Howard was moved after his expiry by a Papparazzi photographer.
It still is a mystery but this latest photo seems to confirm the worst. An investigation is ongoing and the media has been asked to shut down any further reports of this untimely accident.
Rotten Reporting !
