I didn't party last night, but still have a hang-over...

...maybe it was the nightmare about a 'McChicken'

"The 10 Biggest 'Non-Story' Stories of 2010"

By George Scaggs

"For many, it was a stark means of confirming their own long held suspicions of media bias. In a way, citizens were now directly on the receiving end of the misrepresentations, ultimately serving to strengthen their resolve in having their voices heard.

Perhaps the influx of "non-story" stories this year reflects a turning point, or at least a sharp curve in the long developing descent of once reputable press sources. By all appearances, the disconnect between the American people and those who make a living informing them has grown so large that the trend may be irreversible.

So on to the list for 2010, presented in no particular order of importance."

"Russian Passenger Jet Explodes"

"Emergency services spokesman Vadim Grebennikov said the fire, which began in one of the engines as the plane taxied for takeoff, caused a powerful blast that destroyed the Tu-154 aircraft and spread flames across an area of 1,100 square feet."

"EPA's Texas Power Grab"

By Paul Driessen

"Cowboys and cowgirls recognize CO2 as the plant-fertilizing “gas of life” and CH4 as natural gas and cow farts. Scientists will tell you carbon dioxide is 0.0387% of Earth’s atmosphere and methane is 0.000179 percent. Anyone with an eighth grade economics education or ounce of common sense knows CO2 is what results when CH4 heats homes, generates electricity, fuels cars and factories, and makes our health, welfare and living standards possible."

May have started the new year with a bit too much caffine...

"Why is America So Bright at Night?"

By Bernie

I want you to look at the NASA map stitched together to show what the entire Earth looks like at night. Blogger Ilker Yoldas at The Thinking Blog presents this map to her readers and asks, "Do You See a Problem Here?"

Some of her readers' comments are typical of the leftist and third world point of view that America consumes way too much of the world's resources. Here are a few examples."

"The Truth About Grit"

"The "True Grit" comparison also reflects the times the films were released. Back in 1969, the United States was in turmoil over Vietnam and the rise of the Woodstock generation. Revered traditions were breaking down fast, confusing and angering many Americans. John Wayne was a throwback to better times, a man respected by traditional folks. And it was Wayne they were watching on the screen, not Rooster Cogburn. It was Wayne who protected the young girl out to avenge her father, and it was Wayne who imposed justice on the brutal bad guys. The strong-minded actor brought audiences comfort amid chaos both on the screen and in real life."
