Tonik Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 But CNN is fair and honest right?From 2006 CNN rips Bush for only creating 51,000 jobs.http://money.cnn.com/2006/10/06/news/economy/bush_jobs/index.htmBut losing 11,000 jobs is a big improvement.http://money.cnn.com/2009/12/04/news/economy/jobs_november/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I think we've covered the whole unemployment as a lagging indicator thing already. Losing less jobs is an improvement and it may or may not be a big or little indicator. It's a slow, slow process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusion Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) No I didn't. I actually bothered to read both articles.They ripped Bush in the first as much as they claimed 11,000 jobs was "a big improvement." in the second. They did neither.I guess the point is people like to make shit up?I should clarify the second sentence more, but people keep making me work. What are they thinking? I guess it is true though if you only read the headline meant to grab your attention and not bother to read through the articles. So you win, I'm busy.

Tonik Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Holy crap, I JUST noticed the prairie dog in your lap...It's a Meerkat. 2 years ago we went out to San Diego to go to a Meerkat rescue place. Run by one of the ladies that started the original study in the Kalahari Desert. It was freaking awesome, the most amazing thing I have ever done. It was almost spiritual hanging out with the little dudes for the day.You 'adopt' them for the day for a hundred bucks or so and she teaches you all about them while you hang with them. You and up to 3 people you bring, her and the meerkats. Nobody else.http://www.fellowearthlings.org/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 They ever get aggressive?No, not even close. They are very intelligent, curious and gentle. They got a bit wound up when a big bird flew way overhead, birds of prey are their most fear enemies so they all went into sentry mode watching it and chattering warnings. But not aggressive, they were just keeping an eye on it. Getting that guy to sit in my lap was easy, just fed him a few bugs and he climbed right up.Here are some more pics from that part of the trip:http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimkennedy/sets/72157602337341910/show/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Nice! I want one! Can't in the US. If you could I would already have one (hell I would have a dozen of them). You have to have a special license from the Feds. This lady is the only non-zoo in the US to have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod38um Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 You know, I have tried to watch CNN a couple times lately and I found it to be a very passive news. I mean they were not blatantly biased; it was more like they just left stuff out and the subjects they talked about that would be controversial subjects, were discussed as if only one viewpoint existed. It seemed funny to watch something that was designed to keep you calm and anesthetized when typically it would be very divisive. And I never once saw anything about Meerkats………. Strange…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
