Ebola Coverage Stays Quiet

With all the stories regarding celebrity deaths and such, it sure is easy to see why its hard for the old media to find some room concerning the West African Ebola epidemic.

Today’s Philadelphia Inquirer did manage to sneak in a few paragraphs on page 4 about how its going to last six more months.

As of yesterday, Aug. 15, the reported toll was 1,145 deaths and  2,127 cases of the disease.

The World Health Organization (WHO) claims the reported toll “vastly underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak.”

The New York Times, to its credit, is taking the matter seriously, as is Matt Drudge.

Other stories of interest not getting much mention is a report that Ukraine has attacked Russian troops — something denied by Russia —  and leaves changing color in Pittsburgh due to record cold temperatures pretty much putting paid to all claims of global warming.

Comcast Customer Support Is Criminal

Aaron Spain of Chicago was a Comcast customer. He found himself displeased with the product provided by the Philadelphia communications giant and tried to cancel.

He went through the sign-in garbage, got hold of a service rep and was put on hold.

He waited 3 hours and 20 minutes before trying on a different phone. What did he find? He found that the office was closed for the day.

Pretty funny, Aaron, huh?

Actually, the joke is going to be on Comcast. This isn’t the first cancellation horror story  circulating the web involving the liberal — it owns MSNBC and its campaign contributions skew heavily to Democrats— corporation.

Violating contracts leads to legal action, and fraud leads to being charged with crimes.

We suspect lawyers will soon be contacting Mr. Spain, and politically astute state attorney generals will start calling for investigations.

If you own stock in the company sell it now.

Here is the video Aaron put on on YouTube documenting his experience.

Jonathan Explains Ferguson Riots

A fellow identifying himself as Jonathan has posted a Youtube video explaining the Ferguson, Mo. riots.

He says Black people have to change and stop blaming White people.

It’s a beautiful rant. It pretty much sums things up.

Here it is courtesy of Cathy Craddock:

Ferguson Police have issued a statement concerning what led to the shooting. They said Michael Brown, 18, and another man were encountered by the officer, whose name has not been released, on the street. They then assaulted him, pushing him into his squad car. At that point shots were fired by the officer resulting in Brown’s death.

Police said the officer suffered facial injuries.

Dorian Johnson, who says he was the  man with Brown, has a different story. He says the officer ordered them out of the street then opened his squad car door too close to the men causing it to bounce back in his face angering the officer. At that point, he says, the officer left the car, grabbed Brown’s neck and tried to pull him into the car. When Brown broke his grasp, the officer pulled his gun and started firing. Johnson says Brown had has hands raised when he was shot.

Regardless of whose version is true — and be certain the matter will be investigated by authorities beyond Ferguson — those rioting are not interested in justice.

H8ers Torment Bloomsburg Bridal Shop

Victoria Miller owns W.W. Bridal Boutique in Bloomsburg, Pa. A lesbian couple asked her to provide wedding gowns. She declined saying she did not approve of same sex marriage on religious grounds.

Rather than just nodding and taking their business elsewhere as most would do if offended by a store, they launched a hate campaign forcing Ms. Miller to take down her social media sites and hire a lawyer.

Some ignorant types are  going to say that discriminating on these matters is the same as discrimination against blacks in the Jim Crow era. It’s not. The Jim Crow discrimination was mandated by law. Jim Crow was big government that prevented free enterprise i.e. the opening of a store that would serve all to compete with the white-only one.

What Ms. Millier did is no  different than a black baker refusing to decorate a cake with a Confederate flag to celebrate the founding of the Ku Klux Klan.

Nobody is taking about stopping the opening of a bridal shop to cater to same sex couples.

H8ers will H8 though whether they be white supremacists or gay activists.

Media Priorities Regarding Suffering

The Philadelphia area papers today, Aug. 14, continued to carry stories about a celebrity death that happened three days ago.

Meanwhile, nothing about the status of courageous Christian missionaries Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol who are fighting for their lives after contracting ebola in Liberia.

The latest reports have Mrs. Writebol and Dr. Brantly improving.

Keep them in your prayers.

El Tren De La Muerte

A system of freight trains in Mexico known in Spanish as El tren de la muerte i.e. The Death Train also known as La Bestia or “The Beast” has entered the popular culture in points south with hit songs and documentaries.

The migrants, mostly from Central America, hop rides on the trains like the Great Depression hobos which takes them from Mexico’s southern border to our own.

The traffic is estimated at a half-million persons annually.

Here it is in action:

Democrats Pay Blacks Less

Democrats Pay Blacks LessDemocrats Pay Blacks Less

Democrats pay blacks less according to a study by New Organizing Institute.

Thirty percent less it should be noted.

Republicans don’t it seems.

Those who run the Democrat Party are users who despite all the preaching about equality and social justice are basically in it for themselves.

Their goal is to seek fermentation and division to prevent those who would otherwise unite on shared values from doing so and disrupting their gravy train.

The party has racist roots, and, yes, it has never left them.

Riots have erupted in the environs of St. Louis after  police in the suburb of Ferguson shot and killed an unarmed black kid named Michael Brown.

Questions and even anger are appropriate but when passersby are attacked just because they can be attacked and stores are looted just because they can be looted, the matter of Mr. Brown’s death gets buried beneath more pressing matters of right and wrong.

Just about all those rioters, if they voted, voted for Barack Obama for president. It is not unreasonable to think that he can calm things down and stop the destruction of property belonging to innocent people not to mention assaults on those people

So where is he? Why he’s golfing on Martha’s Vineyard.

Bombs are falling on Iraq, Christians are being killed by Islamic progressives; unattended children are being pushed across the Mexican border; Russia is conspiring to invade Ukraine, and may have inadvertently shot down a Malaysian jetliner as part of the conspiracy; U.S. wages are down 23 percent and a deadly disease is threatening to engulf the world.

And he’s out golfing.

For two weeks.

Way to go hipsters.

Frozen Beats Thawed Regarding Steaks

Frozen Beats Thawed Regarding Steaks

Cooks Illustrated has found that it is better to cook your steak frozen — albeit it might take just a little longer — than thawed.

Frozen-cooked steaks lost least moisture and were more evenly cooked.

Cooking it frozen means you don’t have to remember to put it in the frig the night before so we can call it progress.

One caveat: make sure the steaks are frozen before being wrapped and bagged for long-term storage.

And so much for conventional wisdom.

Here is the video:
