Shoutout to the terrific George Martinez for the Occupy Sandy song, keeping the movement going on so well for the Occupy movement in helping so many in the neglected areas of New York's other two islands after Hurricane Sandy . 

The Sandy Aftermath Thread #1 For 11/4/12: The Forgotten Borough

Image
King Mike and one of his many wealthy buddies in Road Runners queen Mary Wittenberg were full stream ahead with having their marathon go as planned today all throughout Friday, until regular New Yorkers, especially in the marathon's starting point in Staten Island, gave their thoughts on how idiotic and immoral their out of touch plutocratic thoughts were. One Staten Island native putting it clear as day how angry they were (and still are) at Bloomberg was Maryanne Alessio on Fox News' Neil Cavuto, a network that certainly felt the need to rip Bloomberg constantly after he tepidly endorsed Obama the day before. It was one of the rare times when Fox News and Cavuto actually produced something meaningful and worth a damn (Apologies for the audio being low and not having the equipment to get it properly off TV yet, but if you are in a quiet location and turn the volume up to its highest, you will hear it all). "I think the marathon is a disgrace and shame on Blo...

The 1st Thread For 10/31/12: Heckuva Kate.....Literally

In America, a lack of accountability leads to shameless clowns like this royal clown to continue to say clownish things with t heir clownish personalities. "One thing he's gonna be asked is, why did he jump on this so quickly and go back to D.C. so quickly when in...Benghazi, he went to Las Vegas?" Brown says. "Why was this so quick?... At some point, somebody's going to ask that question.... This is like the inverse of Benghazi." Thankfully, Kate Sheppard is the opposite of a clown One has to wonder why Brown even bothers. He would be better off if he just stayed quiet and stopped reminding everyone of his past.  But the fact that someone even thought he was worth listening to at all shows how much of a clown profession our overall journalism is in sometimes occasionally clown America. 

The Sandy Thread #1 For 10/29/12: The Latest Version Updates

Image
Live coverage from the weather channel Five deaths in the New York area, with one of those happening in the boroughs, and four deaths in New Jersey, and a death from a car crash in West Virginia, with a tragedy occurring in Maryland world. Now onto stranded people in Connecticut, as well as through dealing with the heart of the storm inevitably, in most of Pennsylvania, western New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and into Canadian providences of Ontario and Quebec. Still, this is nothing like what they get in the Caribbean, the American South, and Southeast Asia and Japan. The Second Version Updates: 1) Really not cool news about an alert declared at Oyster Creek nuclear power plant . 2) Lots of ugliness with hospital messes with Coney Island Hospital and NYU Hospital. We really did not prepare well for this storm in New York. 3) The overall power outages here in the three islands and five boroughs in the New York metropolitan area: ...

The Dumbest Question Ever From A White House Reporter

Image
And it is from CBS' Bill Plante, who really embarrassed himself with this question today, "How will this effect the election?" (Go right to mark 5: 38 to the end). Our centrist media, vapid culture, embarrassing itself and thinking about its desperate horserace desires instead of being real journalists focusing on real details. So sad, as always. Plante acted like a Fox News personality today. He ought to be ashamed of himself. (EDIT: New, much more smaller video here).
