Cole's Notes - The Sunday Journalist

Hey Leo – about twittering the Mexican swine flu pandemic: As long as scare stories sell, as long as millions of indoctrinated suckers fall for them they will never end. They've got you on a rat-running wheel, running scared every day, like rats scrambling to get away from electrical shocks that never actually come ….. ….Ultimately, each of us has to resist the media storm and learn to laugh at it. Only you can solve the problem of media madness by ignoring them: Turn away from the scare headlines on the daily news, turn off the radio, don't click false-alarming websites.  Every time you respond to a screaming scare story you are playing into their hands.   H/T to: American Thinker: The Great Liberal Pandemonium Machine

About Politicians:  There are some fundamental misunderstandings people have about politicians. Let me clear those up:   (1) Politicians are not smart. Most of them have average IQs -- if they are lucky.   (2) Politicians are extraordinarily egocentric . They run for office because they love to see their face on the TV and they love to hear themselves talk. (President Obama is example #1 of this principle .)   (3) At the national level, politicians are (1) + (2) and they either have a lot of personal wealth -- or they have worked their way up the system (running for local office first) by selling their souls to lobbyists on either the left or the right American Thinker: From Tea Parties to Political Parties

Friday Fun – as a photographer myself – I really enjoy this type of creativity : And it helps to be a Frog Fan.  Or Kermit.

  Politicians in Washington are convinced that "green" cars are the salvation of American auto companies. There is some circumstantial evidence they may be right. But do we really believe that these politicians know more than hundreds of thousands of car salesmen, working across 50 states of varying terrain, affluence and transportation needs?
