On reading writing 'n stuff.....

“But I was thinking of a way to multiply by ten,

And always, in the answer, get the question back again.” L. Carroll

The Sacramento Bee has become a mere shadow of its former lackluster self so what I do first is scan…’n whatever catches my eye, I go back ’n read at least part of the article…sumtimes, I’ll go so far as to read all the article but truthfully, not much of the time….I must confess here, that on most days, the most interesting part of our only daily paper is the comics ’n our ‘forward thinking’ newspaper staff either has a love affair with old comics or they’re just too cheap to buy the new stuff that must be on the market…as much as I liked Chas Schultz, his stuff belongs in the Remember When segment….oh, wait, we don’t have one of those for real…. with the possible exception of the editorial page...

And speaking of that p’tick’lar page, I understand that the Bee is a liberal newspaper…I get it…I often wish for those good old days when we also had a conservative newspaper in Sacramento, something to add just a little balance but the rain falls on the just ’n the unjust alike, time marches on, the pendulum swings…I get all that…’n I get that the liberal press feels some sort of moral obligation to support their affirmative action president ~ personally, I feel that the press has a moral obligation to remain non-partisan ’n a failure to do so is a failure at their jobs…I have to wonder about a man like Brian Williams of NBC…he spent years waiting patiently for Tom Brokaw to get the hell out of his way so he could have his time in the limelight…and when he got it, he pissed his credibility away by shilling for Obama…I can’t figure out why he would do that…In those days of old, nobody knew whether Cronkite was liberal or conservative (for the record, he was liberal)…likewise with Chet Huntley and David Brinkley…they reported the news as it was not as they might have wanted it to be….Today, you never can tell what comes out of Brian Williams mouth except that he’s pro-Democrat and anti-Republican…and just when you think they can’t get any more egregious,  their devotion to their president causes them to defend terrorists, ie; The Taliban Five….one can only assume that they have suffered the loss of all their collective marbles…..

Anyway, on a happier note, I got my copy of G. Sam Piatt’s ‘That Summer of ’45’….Thanks Sammy….
