CNN might regret replacing Brown

CNN might regret replacing Brown

I want to express my appreciation for your fine editorial concerning Aaron Brown, who added so much to the CNN telecast. It was painful to watch as CNN, in its prelude to firing the man, added Anderson Cooper to the late show in which the older man showed so much class.

To say that the 58-year-old man is too old for the show was an insult to us older people who, I would think, far surpass the number of young people spending their time looking at a news program from 10 p.m. to 12 p.m. Anderson Cooper's threatening crisis every incident he reports in a fast order is wearing but forgivable because he is young and has not gained the wisdom of men like Aaron Brown, who have provided us with thoughtful, in-depth coverage that we want to hear.

Anderson Cooper is a handsome young fellow voted "one of the sexiest men" we have, but that does not qualify him to perform on TV at the rank of a man like Aaron Brown. Perhaps CNN does not care about us old-timers who have looked forward to hearing Aaron Brown with hopes CNN would see fit to provide him with a show at an earlier hour. Instead, it was painful to watch the pain of Brown, suddenly confronted with the addition of Cooper to his show. He and his audience knew where this was leading. However subtle all the meanderings were supposed to be, CNN could not hide the ugliness of seeing Brown's embarrassment at what was obviously a replacement by the younger man, bubbling with what he considered his achievement in soon replacing Brown.

This may prove to be a serious mistake for CNN with an overexposure of Anderson Cooper, who is nowhere the equal of Aaron Brown. It makes us wonder: Does Cooper's family have a lot of stock in CNN?

Pentagon plan would slash Iraq troops

Iran pledges $1 bln loan, security help to Iraq

TEHRAN, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Iran has pledged to give Iraq a $1 billion loan and help with tackling insecurity, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said at the end of a ground-breaking visit to the Islamic state.
Talabani's three-day visit, the first by an Iraqi leader to Iran for nearly four decades, followed heightened accusations by Western and some Iraqi officials that Shi'ite Muslim Iran was linked to insurgent attacks in Iraq. Iran denies the charges.

Sunni leader shot dead to spread election fear, police say
Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Gunmen wearing Iraqi army uniforms burst into the home of a Sunni Arab sheik Wednesday, killing him, three of his sons and a son-in-law in an attack police said may have been aimed at discouraging members of the minority from participating in next month's election.
Khadim Sarhid al-Hemaiyem, who lived on the outskirts of Baghdad, was the leader of a branch of the Dulaimi tribe, one of the biggest in Iraq. His brother is a candidate in the Dec. 15 parliamentary election, three of his sons had been policemen and another son was slain last month north of the capital, police and family members said.
Elsewhere, an American soldier from Task Force Baghdad died of a gunshot wound Wednesday in the center of the capital, the U.S. military said. At least 2,108 U.S. service members have died since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to the Department of Defense.

Shock and sadness at GM plants
Surrounding communities feel pain of stunned workers
Monday, November 21, 2005; Posted: 9:58 p.m. EST (02:58 GMT)
SPRING HILL, Tennessee (AP) -- When General Motors Corp. started building cars in this sleepy farming town nearly 15 years ago, the Saturn plant was touted as a key component of the automaker's vision for the future.
But now this thriving Nashville suburb finds itself recast as another in a long list of Rust Belt survivors -- worried about its economic future as GM announces it will eliminate 30,000 manufacturing jobs, including a production line in Spring Hill where the Ion compact car is produced. Other communities in Oklahoma, Georgia, Michigan and Canada are also facing a future without GM jobs.

"Storm King" - A Killer. - A fire for real men.

THE REAL HEROES came to understand the failure of the system !!!!!!!

PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF THE FIRE-RELATED DEBRIS FLOWS ON STORM KING MOUNTAIN, GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO

SEPTEMBER, 1994 EVENTOn the night of September 1, 1994 at approximately 10:30 pm, in response to a torrential downpour, a wall of mud, rocks and burned trees came crashing down onto Interstate I-70 in four places. Thirty cars traveling on the highway at the time were engulfed by the mud, but luckily only minor injuries were reported. According to Colorado Department of Transportation personnel, material continued to flow out of the canyons throughout the night of September 1 and the early morning hours of September 2. Mud and debris issuing from the mouth of drainage B overtopped the Jersey barriers that divide the west- and east-bound lanes of the interstate and continued into the Colorado River, where it was deposited as a fan that blocked nearly half of the river (Plate 1, Figure 9). Material from drainage B also traveled westward along I-70, again overtopping the Jersey barriers into the east-bound lanes, and finally stopped at mouth of drainage A (Figures 10 and 11, Plate 1).

Madrid `Latin Kings' Raise Specter of Immigrant Gangs (Update1)

`Zoot Suit Riots'

The history of Latino gangs in U.S. cities can be traced back as far as the 1940s when so-called ``Zoot Suit riots'' erupted in Los Angeles, fueled by tensions between U.S. military personnel and Mexican youths, said Jose Soltero, a researcher in the Latin American and Latino studies department at Chicago's DePaul University.

``Some studies have pointed to the evolution of Latino gangs from neighborhood gangs to economic enterprises,'' he said in an interview conducted by email. The ``Latin Kings'' probably originated in Puerto Rican and Mexican neighborhoods in Chicago in the 1960s, he said.
The emergence of a group in Madrid calling itself the ``Latin Kings'' is a sign it's modeling itself on the U.S. gang, said Mendez. The ``Latin Kings'' use symbols based on a five- pointed crown and gang colors of black, gold and red to identify themselves as gang members.

Madrid Killings

After the latest incident in which a Dominican youth died in the northeast part of the city, police detained seven Ecuadorian youths suspected to be ``Latin Kings'' members, said Mendez.

It's amazing what people can do with a license and a knife.

A Lobotomy That He Says Didn't Touch His Soul

The case files of mental illness are filled with half-baked theories and their drastic advocates. Wilhelm Fleiss, for example, believed that sexual hang-ups stemmed from irregularities in the nasal cavity and that a little judicious snipping could set everything straight. In 1895 he famously botched an operation on Sigmund Freud's patient Emma Eckstein, absent-mindedly leaving a yard of surgical gauze stuffed in her head and almost causing her to bleed to death.

50,000 lobotomies performed in U.S. from '30s to '70s

The lobotomy was introduced in 1936 by a Portuguese physician, Dr. Egas Moniz. Some 50,000 lobotomies were performed in the United States from the 1930s to the 1970s.
The original method, called prefrontal lobotomy, involved boring open the patient's skull to cut the connection between the prefrontal region — an area concerned with emotion, learning, memory and social behavior — and the rest of the brain. While it often relieved symptoms of severe mental illness, it also blunted emotion, leaving patients listless and childlike.

Anderson Cooper is accustomed to sabotage.

Dubbed television's smartest reality show, The Mole returns for a second season on ABC.

Like its predecessor, The Mole 2 will feature all the exciting "whodunit" game elements of the original series, while invoking key changes that will provide a more engaging experience for the viewing audience.

Hosted by former ABC News correspondent Anderson Cooper, The Mole 2 follows 14 players as they try to figure out who among them is The Mole. By working as a team to complete a series of challenging physical and mental games, the players earn money for the pot — up to $1 million — which one winner will eventually take home. Working undercover against the team, however, is The Mole, a double agent planted by the producers to sabotage the players' money-earning efforts. It is the goal of each player to decide who they think The Mole is and then learn as much about him or her as possible. At the end of each one-hour episode, the group is given a quiz on The Mole's identity. The player who knows the least information about The Mole is immediately sent home. In the final dramatic episode, The Mole is revealed, and the one remaining player wins the jackpot.

To enhance the fundamental play-along aspect of The Mole 2, several changes are being implemented this season. For one, viewers will get to see all of the questions on the multiple choice quiz given to the players at the end of each episode, allowing them to test their own knowledge of The Mole's identity. In addition, episodes will be peppered with clues that will give eagle-eyed viewers a real opportunity to figure out which of the players is The Mole.

Further helping to involve viewers in the game will be a heightened focus on character development. From journal entries to secret confessionals, the thoughts, opinions, and strategies of each player will be presented on-camera for viewers to digest and dissect. Additionally, provocative and often personal questions will be posed to the players by host Cooper to spark discussion among them. Through these discussions, the players and viewers will gain insight, as well as answers, to future quiz questions.

I Find the Reference to Royalty of the 'Ticker - Tape' at the bottom of the picture interesting as well.

Today Fredericka Whitfield, whom I have never seen where a scarf, is wearing what can be discerned as a 'wide tie' under her jacket and around her neckline. I am not sure what that means but I am sure it relates to this issue. The Community has made an impact.

What goes on?

I won't pretend to be 'plugged into' every subtilty of the art of flirting, but, to read the Gay Community Rendition of this exchange between celebrities was an eye opener. The Gay Community seems to have found a home where they can come together regarding issues of abandonment by Gay Celebrities. According to the community Anderson upstaged Nicole Richie for his interest in Ryan Seacrest. I didn't see this segment BUT there is a video link.

I have one comment in that the community has a way of dealing with this issue that keeps estranging them from their goal. I don't know if there is a better way but they might consider the point that this 'tactic' doesn't seem to be working to 'out' people they seek to provide empowerment. I believe people should be living without fear of retaliation on all fronts, socially, legally or religiously in regard to their gender identity or their sexual preferences as long as it does not victimize through abuse or exploitation, children and/or the powerless.

After realizing what was being said by the Gay Community, I did note it was odd for Ryan to make mention of his '...natural hair color.' I don't approve of vanity either. Good grooming and having sex appeal is a separate issue from vanity. Completely. Considering the victimizing of Aaron Brown for reasons of discrimination, that comment might be simply a pre-emptive strick against CNN. Beyond these comments I do not feel qualified to comment and leave that to those who care to.

This blog was begun to tell the world about issues of bias, discrimination, racism and anti-semitic trends that are DANGEROUS to individuals. To that end I enter this 'information' as 'observations' of a Gay Community at risk. At risk for disease that is not a focus of the government to the extent it should including with Black Women, a risk for addiction to chemical substances like 'crystal meth' due to community rejection by a greater society and a risk for those that have found happiness in couplehood and child rearing that is frowned on by some courts in this country and an ever encroaching 'same' authority at the level of Supreme Court. I will not abandon this community or any other 'at risk' because it's unpopular. That is exactly the subject I struggled with for years regarding religious bigotry.

Anderson and Ryan, Sittin' in a Tree

In what must be one of the gayest moments in CNN history, Ryan Seacrest, subbing for Larry King, took another major step in putting the "out" in "Seacrest out."

He appeared to pitch some serious woo Anderson Cooper's way when Anderson came on to promo his 10 p.m. show. The two went practically ga-ga for each other. I'm surprised digits were not exchanged on the air.

But they did, however, talk about the long pink appendage dangling from Ryan, as well as "taking a pounding."

Cruising this serious is usually reserved for dimly lit parks, not television screens across America.

Anderson Cooper falls for Ryan Seacrest's big 'tie'

Somehow Anderson Cooper managed to upstage even Nicole Richie, who was chatting with Ryan Seacrest on Larry King Live last night — yes, CNN let Ryan fill in for Larry King.

Nicole, on to talk about her "novel," took a back seat to Ryan and Anderson when the CNN superstar came on for a lead-in promo.

Their gay-filled, gay-themed, gay-styled, gay, gay, gay, banter:

AC: That's the biggest tie I've ever seen by the way.

RS: Yeah, you know, I don't know. It's bigger than my head, isn't it?

AC: No, it works, it works for you, it just, you know, I just noticed it ..

RS: Look at the size of your .. Your bow's tiny, mine's huge.

AC: I've heard that often.

And if that weren't enough, Anderson goes on to talk about Nashville "taking a pounding."
We were mildly uncomfortable. And erect.

The House Republicans disregarding respect of USA soldiers have put on a POLITICAL SHOW to 'play' with the dignified status offered to them by the respect for their lives by Representative Murpha.

The Republicans are trying to force the Democrats to support the war and not oppose it by proposing a hideous form of legislation.

Representative Murpha has valid arguments for redeployment out of Iraq because the incidence of attacks and causalities have escalated both with American soldiers and Iraqi civilians over the last year. The attacks are against the USA forces with the 'side effect' of Iraqi civilian deaths. That's right, if the USA was not there, they cannot unify against the USA if we are not there as a focus including our allies such as Jordan. In addition and what Rep. Murpha does not say is that Iraq is not a security risk to the USA. It needs to be left to the region to resolve these issues and under the policies of Bush all of Iraq's neighbors are left out of the solution.

Polygamy and arranged marriages with older men by decades. "It was like a horror film but I was in the front seat. There is no birth control allowed." To refuse a husband and getting pregnant was against the religion. She stated she was having too many children, too fast. It didn't matter to her polygamous spouse. She was one of three wives and 54 children. She has 8 children in 15 years. Living in a polygamous home is like living in a police state and getting out of the 'sect' was nearly impossible. Her oldest daughter was resistant to leave. Her van was nearly out of gas. The tale she tells is not dissimilar to that of women escaping an abusive spouse. A predator spouse.

Children are being raised only to be abused into some kind of sexual role in the world. There is no purity of spirit with a sect like this. There are men who don't have restraint or loyalty. Fathers and husbands are banned from the community. Amazing. The citizens (if you can call the that) of this community would not have a clue what to say to the media and cannot relate to anything outside of their indoctrination. This is illegal in this country. The community is isolated similar to the Waco, Texas bunch. What was the name of those guys? The Dividians of Waco, Texas. Exploiting children for sexual roles with the sect/cult. Free form marriages that can be rearranged at the whim of their leader. Calling their leader 'Jesus Christ.' It is the same stuff. Do we have to wait for the UPS delivery of munitions?

But, Bill, it was a stunt. There was no Republican in favor of a Republican measure including those that proposed it. I think Bill is right again. Rep. Murtha can actually take a position of seeking a solution to an endless war of which no Republican can claim. The Republicans do not criticize the president about any of the issues facing the military. All the criticism of this administration comes from the Democrats or not at all. The Republicans only rubber stamp what Bush demands and send out appropriation bills and budgets to keep a non-existent economy going. The economy would not exist without the exploitation of the treasury and national debt and hence the future of the generations of this country.

1152

I think that is it.

I miss Aaron.

The e-mail tonight is in the spirit of Aaron Brown with his sleeves rolled to his elbow and shirt collar open by two buttons.

The Daily e-mail from Aaron Brown's NewsNight:

"Today is the kind of day when I wish I had at least two hours to give every subject in the news just attention but instead I'll try to touch on all the high points.

We begin tonight with a very sad scenario that has played out all too many times across this nation about children. On July 16, 2002 this news hour reported with the help of Thelma Gutierrez, on a child found after being abducted from her play yard at her home. That child was five year old Samantha Runnion. Three days later we all attended her funeral over the airwaves where 3000 people packed the Crystal Cathedral full to honor this child and embrace her family. Today, November 17, 2005; we convicted a child killer. That child was 11 year old Carlie Brucia and the killer 39 year old Joseph Smith. The alarming aspect of this is that Joseph Smith is a father of three out on probation. Joseph Smith is a repeat offender of child molestation. Today again we have heard a mother call for justice from a life now broken without her daughter while not being able to reach beyond her grief. The two events occurred over a time span of 40 months a number of the same crime committed across this country including a cluster in Florida. Tonight we'll focus on the inadequecy of these laws and the danger our children continue to face even with the help of "Amber Alert."

We'll keep this focus on several occasion tonight while touching on the rest of the news today. The Bird Flu is spreading in China while the President is in that part of the world for an economic conference. He hasn't addressed this serious subject so much as addressed the defense of his administration from a country unhappy with his performance in office including and especially the way the war in Iraq is transpiring. That brings us to another subject and that is the decent of the Democratic Party on the heels of hearings in the Senate that has found top executives of oil companies guilty of lying across the board at resent hearings regarding exorbitant gas prices and encroaching winter months. Those calls from Democrats today didn't focus on oil prices so much the pre-war intelligence leading to Iraq and their assertions that the President mislead the country in the war of Iraq. Today, as astounding but welcome call by many in this country of Representative Murtha, a Democrat from Pennsylvania. Rep. Murtha is a career military turned to a Senior Representative in the House with re-elections numbering into 30 years. This was quite a surprise today, and after the Vice President addressed the Democrats as being inappropriate in calling for a withdrawal of the troops based on an accounting of the progress in Iraq. Rep. Murtha has proposed a Bill in the House for immediate withdrawal of our troops. We'll present the facts and address the reactions of the people involved including some Iraqis.

I want to briefly focus also on New Orleans and the forgotten plight of that city as Mayor Nagin is now a frequent visitor to Capital Hill to refocus the attention he is seeking to promote economic development. And get this. He isn't begging for money but for opportunity for his city and replacement of the wetlands and levees. It should be an interesting look at things. We'll also look briefly at the plight of FEMA housing and those still seeking it and the lock out of hotel residents with the coming holidays as well.

We'll finish a quick look at Bob Woodward's astounding statement regarding his involvement in the Plame investigation.

The rhetoric never stops regarding Gay Rights and tonight our daily look will include the reaction to the Church of England now characterized as 'evil' by some gay advocates. On the other friendlier side is Jamaica which is now bringing Gay Rights to the country's conversation to insure those rights.

A quick look at Castro and Harry Potter. Hm? I don't think they have anything in common except perhaps a concern neither are good for the country.

And of course our nightly favorite "The Rooster" will visit with our favorite headlines.

…………………………….

That was nice.

Tonight on AC360 we'll hear about the escapades of Americans and how they lie at least once a day. This is bonding issue with the current president and veep. We are all guilty and should be forgiving of the Oval Office. In addition, Neocons are always concerned about money, ie: Dick Cheney, so we'll look at how to hold onto your wallet while avoiding a housing scam that uses identity theft. With any luck we'll also replay the Paula Zahn segment regarding lobotomies so that American and Iraqi Torture seems reasonable.

At 10 PM

Man what a difference an anchor makes.

Prison Break and War of Words

Frankenstein dares mention Michael Moore. I know he doesn't mean it lovingly. I can't help it if the White House is so desperate they want to defame a dedicated and senior House Member in Mr. Murtha. As far as I am concerned if Mr. Murtha is as much a truth teller as Michael Moore than I am feeling safer already.

David Ensor - l. Congress and Administration had access to same intelligence on Pre - War Iraq. They didn't. Oh, David they didn't. National Intelligence Estimate was demanded by Congress. BUSH NEVER DID. Bush had more information in addition to the National Intelligence Estimate.

Iraq War - John King - "The administration bristles at any mention that the war will fail in Iraq." 63% disapprove of the way Bush is handling Iraq.

Recalling Vietnam. Well, John, Vietnam even had a legitimate beginning. The French were occupying South Vietnam after WWII. We were members of SEATO together. The French were failing miserably against the North and they didn't feel it was time to rejoin the two countries. Back in the day, The Domino Effect was a very serious theory. It was misguided. So being a good ally we joined the fight. First it was limited to medical and humanitarian aid. That was Eisenhower. Kennedy sent 5000 military advisers and equipment. Then just before his assassination he witnessed the Monks on fire in the town square of Saigon. They set themselves on fire. He seriously rethought Vietnam and began to realize the people of the South may not want us there. He never got a chance to pull the advisors and it was Johnson who nearly immediately after taking office sent troops and started a draft. It was the wrong thing to do and he should have acted as Kennedy would have but he didn't. Vietnam saw the death of 54,000 young Americans, many 19 years old. It went on forever and into Nixon's White House. Bell Helicopter had government contracts and made millions if not billions. They were the equivalent to Halliburton. Then there was Watergate and Nixon's resignation. Gerald Ford took the presidency for the rest of the term, pardoned Nixon and recalled all the troops within nine months of taking office. Five presidents. Vietnam spanned five presidents. It is time to level Iraq !

Rusty Dornin in New Orleans. September the state officials stated we will take care of our own. The expense started to set in . They didn't expect it to take so long. The personnel performing these autopsies are not doing a good job. FEMA has stated they will pay for the DNA testing until November 26th. There are $12 to $13 million in an account to pay it. Family are under duress. It needs to be done and if it is to be done by November 26th, Thanksgiving, then other professionals need to be hired. Some competent forensic specialists need to be brought in on this.

Dr. Frank Minyard states it was 'a financial thing' regarding the DNA. Presumptive diagnosis. Tests take awhile and the results are pushing the release of the bodies back. Two and a half months in duration already. DNA matching with the families is proceeding slowly. The first month was done with cell phones and it didn't work well at all. Why isn't this man given a state of the art lab? The bodies can be transported. They are already in refrigerated trailers. A university lab could easily provide space and equipment for this emergency as well as students who would love to volunteer for the experience and reference alone. GET WITH IT !!!!!!!!!!

The problem has been resolved for years now and the "Amber Alert" was established 40 months ago. These children need real advocacy and not just a slap on the wrist.

A lawsuit by the state might be interesting if that is appropriate. I would like to see the Code/Statue/etc. within FEMA that states their funding cannot pay for identifying the dead. There are laws that are not being cited so much as 'talking points' are always being thrown around. Realizing how underqualified the federal government is throughout it's agencies, I won't take anything they say at face value.

The monies were always supposed to go to Alaska without 'earmarks.' Over $400,000,000 to Alaska. Stevens earmarked it for a bridge to nowhere so the country would be relieved when the 'natural' setting was saved and the bridge would not be built therefore ignore the issue from here on.

Good idea to put out fires, especially in this day and age.

You were supposed to do Koppel last night. Are you planning on applying for the job? Or is it already a done deal but Ted didn't know about it?

Anderson is a Ted Koppel fan, as a viewer and a collegue.

Ted has witnessed the morphing of news broadcasting. Interesting. Resourceful. Oh, representation journalism. A responsible person. I'll be darn. It must be nice to be able to make that decision to move on. You know what I mean, Anderson? Weasel was a good word to use.

END

There is a Star of David among all those Christian Crosses yet still today there is Religious Bigotry in this programming and in social references. That bigotry is across belief systems and I find a good deal of Anti-Arab sentiment in what is in the media today.

Amazing.

Bush wants to run his administration on Christian Values which is highly immoral and self-righteous for a president of this country. Those of other faith that fight and die have no less right to representation under their Constitution.

I've seen it all now.

Anderson is worried about talking about sex?

I bet !

Good night !

I have little patience with the absence of Aaron Brown these days. For years he talked about doing a two hour program and when it finally occured it was handed over to an inexperienced 'read the script' anchor who wouldn't know ethics if it came to dinner.

Not only that Mr. Cooper wants to corrupt issues of spirituality with 'marvels' of the New Age Movement.

The segment on "Indigo Children" was unfortunate. I find that word creeping into my vocabulary alot with this news team. I don't know if they were trying to prove Anderson was a saint or just simply turning a two hour NEWS HOUR into a tabloid, but, what I witnessed last night was an indulgence into 'a cult' understanding of CHILDREN and not adults that have issues of sociability. That is again unfortunate.

The study of auras have been around a long, long time. That, with reflexology, crystal therapy, massage, and all kinds of other 'body work' methods of coping. What Anderson Cooper 360 did last night was to reward the 'concept' of auras as if to say we can explain 'halos' in relation to angels.

They state these emotionally sensitive children are a result of a 'harmonic convergence' after 1978. People like gastroenterologists are seeing higher percentages of children sensitive to foods. 3% I believe he said.

In the USA we have come to know a rather comfortable life in most instances. It does not seem unusual to me for children, especially children, in a country become more and more atune to each other as citizens, in an age of guns in school and terrorists attacking, that children would spin such disorders.

Auras go back decades. We are biochemical beings and even the smallest mouse will have an aura. The crime of the presentation last night is that it wasn't done to 'debunk' the issue so much as enforce it. I find that unfortunate.

Never once during the presentation did they bother to explain what a 'harmonic convergence' is and what the following is to it.

Here is a link: http://www.experiencefestival.com/harmonic_convergence

When one starts down a road of investigating past cultures and heavy duty spirituality it isn't about God anymore. It's about alternative thought about these issues. I have an open mind but for a NEWS HOUR to INVEST this kind of time into issues that 'plague' so few when this country is in profound trouble on all avenues serves no one. Not even the children of Indigo.

This is to serve as a distraction to the issues that beset the White House and nothing else.

Like I said, "I've seen it all now." I can't believe Anderson Cooper would even consent to this mess. He no longer wants to be considered a professional. A professional would never have indulged this issue so much as been a skeptic of it in a far greater way than existed last night.

Two hours.

When Aaron Brown wanted two hours it was because there were issues of concern to this country and the international community and not to indulge the latest CNN Guru'.

It's a darn shame.

Need someone to stab a pier in the back call Anderson Cooper.

I can only wonder how long this has gone on. How long this mean spirited take over as anchor has lived in Anderson's plotting mind. Anderson Cooper would 'fill in' for Aaron Brown when he was out. It was never a great hour then and I never watched it. But, when he finally started his own news hour it was full of 'gimmicks' to enhance it's interest, with 'uplink' and the like. At that time NewsNight with Aaron Brown was based on newspaper layouts. The title of Anderson's show was to mimic 'The Whip Around the World." Anderson Cooper 360. Come full circle around the world. Do we always get what we covet, Anderson? As a matter of fact when my notes are reviewed I noted the similarity years ago. I found it odd then. He was gunning for Aaron. Nice guys finish last, babe. Anderson will never be a valuable professional so much as a valuable commodity. The problem is he is a commodity packaged to incite war and bring 'hero' status to the impoverished young men of this country for enlistment. That is not supporting the country so much as an illegal war. It is partisan propaganda and not a legitimate news hour.

Indeed, AC, go get 'em.

North Korea. Just what we need from Frankenstein more inflammation of an unstable and nuclear situation.

1000

On, my the reality of North Korea and how it is never been know before and here we go again with David's "Whip Around the World" without the benefit of pier journalists. When you are someone like Anderson it is completely understandable why one would be afraid to share the screen with anyone else. After all he did it to his pier. Ah, the music should keep anyone on the edge of their terrified seats.

1002

Frank Cessno - North Korea is starving according to Anderson and we are at an empty field and some cruelty will be carried out, no doubt. The crime is exporting North Koreans to other countries. Human trafficking. Okay. This is not a pleasant subject for anyone. But this is also propaganda at a time when no one needs it. That's right it is nearly bankrupt and there is no doubt Kim feels as though he is walking a line between war and sustaining a nation. These conditions have gone on since the end of the Korean War. As a matter of fact the inflammatory administration of George Walker Bush has made them worse by cutting off essential supplies and creating the 'nuclear crisis' that exists today.

1007

Sarah McDonald - Anderson you are a fool without an understanding of what is happening within that film. No doubt people are terrified of their government but China does complain to North Korea about border crossings. The USA complains about border crossings as well. North Korea is a third world country and seeks not to anger China by controlling the people rather than the symptoms of border crossings. China has it's problems, too. It has a population of over a billion people. China could be approached about these issues as well, but, they will meet criticism with complaints of drug trafficking and the like. This is completely irresponsible journalism. The tape belongs in the State Department and no place else.

Sarah this is not about 'getting away.' Kim is controlling the people though the only methods he has to stop the crossings to China. This is completely unnecessary. If people are upset about North Korea's law and it's enforcement then it needs to address issues of human rights with DC and the return of funding by the USA to North Korea for them to carry on a quality of life for people. The North Koreans are starving because they no longer get aid from Bush.

Amman. Al Zarqawi. Jordan is a moderate nation. They feel very differently than others in countries that surrounds Jordan. We could get into how they became a moderate nation but that is fruitless. Jordan's sophistication has increased and continues to strive to solve the problems of it's citizens in the face of far less national income. King Abdullah has taken a stronger appearance of Islam, especially since this past Ramadan. I think that is fine. He has been a leader of peace and more than likely feels his identity to Islam is better overt so there is no question about his faithfulness among people who would follow him.

Arrests begin as Amman blasts are tied to Iraq
By Ed O'Loughlin, Herald Correspondent in Amman
November 12, 2005
The Jordanian Government says at least one of the suicide bombers who murdered 56 people in Amman this week spoke Arabic with an Iraqi accent, linking the country's worst domestic terrorist attack to events in its war-torn neighbour.
Officials said a number of people - Jordanians and foreign Arabs, including Iraqis - have already been arrested as King Abdullah's security forces sweep for those behind Wednesday night's co-ordinated attacks on the Hyatt, Radisson SAS and Days Inn hotels in Amman.

New Orleans and it's citizen complaints. Construction Fraud. The problem surrounds the allowed degradation of the wetlands as well. Almost more so than the condition of the levees. What a mess.

Oliver Thomas, Council President. Corruption. You aren't protected alone by the levees. You are protected by the pumps. The plan was supposed to be 17 feet and not 10. COASTAL EROSION. Now you are on the right tract. The levees will never be Cat 5 without the return of the wetlands. Even if you build levees 17 feet high that won't stop a storm surge of 20 feet. Besides I thought the levees were higher than 10 feet. I thought it was 15? Maybe not. That is a true statement, the Republicans would love to have New Orleans die. Complaints about Delta. I agree. They chronically reschedule passengers on flights. Anderson is embarrassed by the bad publicity for Delta. Not interested in the complaint or a bonding with it so much as trying to fend it off. Yeah, he is a real advocate for people alright. As long as it is scripted.

Levee and flood wall failure in New Orleans (following hurricane Katrina)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search
Hurricane Katrina caused extensive failures of the levees and flood walls protecting New Orleans, Louisiana. The subsequent investigations by civil engineers are attempting to find the underlying reason for the failures.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levee_and_flood_wall_failure_in_New_Orleans_(following_hurricane_Katrina)

There is an interesting entry at November 10, 2005.

"According to the analysis, they've got the soil strength test. It doesn't show exactly the input for the analysis, but assuming they used it and came out with factors of safety, it's showing the numbers are safe. So it leaves an open-ended question as to why the flood wall failed."
The original design for the steel sheet foundations for the flood walls showed a proposed depth of 10 feet, and the design documents show calculations were made with the wall base at 12.8 feet. According to a New Orleans engineer, the depth was apparently increased later, to 17-foot depth, and this is what was built. However, on November 10 an article in the Times Picayunne reported that investigations using sonar by a forensic engineering team from the Louisiana State University show that at one point near the 17th Street Canal breach the piling extends just 10 feet below sea level, 7 feet shorter than the Corps of Engineers had maintained.
"The corps keeps saying the piles were 17 feet, but their own drawings show them to be 10," van Heerden said. "This is the first time anyone has been able to get a firm fix on what's really down there. And, so far, it's just 10 feet. Not nearly deep enough."
According to Professor Robert Bea, a geotechnical engineer from the University of California, Berkeley, it is likely that the Katrina storm surge created unusual subterranean pressures under the walls. Those pressures appear to have made soil under the sheet pile weaker so that it gave way, moving the steel sheet-pile-and-concrete walls along with it. But engineers studying the levees also say that other, unknown factors, including structural problems in the walls, could also have contributed to the breaches.

Etiquette - it's interesting to have a news network who helped put the most corrupt president in history in office to actually value proper social behavior when they took lessons from Rove pre-ethics sessions.

This explains Anderson's focus on pregnancy and getting that way. The definition of etiquette - the conduct or procedure required by GOOD BREEDING. What would we do without Anderson and his insight to social ills?
