This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.

Yet another Obama stupidism - The president of 57 states is filling a book of gaffes in just a few months. The media doesn’t seem so gleeful at his mistakes as they did when they played ‘Got’Ya’ with President Bush. In fact, they hardly mention how dumb Obama is without TOTUS. === Obama trips up over Russian leadership tandem
MOSCOW (Reuters) - In a slip of the tongue, U.S. President Barack Obama described Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Monday as president, echoing the widely held view that he remains Russia's most powerful man.
The Cost of Controlling The Press Accuracy In Media by K. Daniel
Barack Obama's White House is spending more than $80,000 a week to staff its old and new media offices. Add the price of speechwriters and the White House communications tab reaches nearly $100,000 a week, or nearly $5 million a year-and that is for salaries alone.
President Obama's job approval rating is now lower than his popular vote percentage, for the first time. Today's Rasmussen poll shows him approved by only 52% of the public. 47% disapprove.
President Obama’s job approval in Ohio has dropped significantly in the last two months, dipping under the 50% mark for the first time, according to a new poll by Quinnipiac University. In the last Quinnipiac poll in Ohio taken in early May, Obama enjoyed a healthy 62% job approval rating, with only 31% disapproving. Today, Obama’s job approval stands at 49%, with 44% disapproving - a twenty-five point net drop in just eight weeks. Not surprsingly, Obama has seen a corresponding drop among voters’ approval of his handling of the economy: two months ago he had a net +21 approval...
With Obooma they say, “In a slip of the tongue” but their jeering was quite hostile for P. Bush for any little off-the-cuff remark they could drumbeat/echo throughout their dishonest ranks.
The in-the-tank media can’t seem to get it, they are going down the tubes with their biased trash disguised as news. The fact that the ‘Debt President’ never wants to speak without his teleprompter ought to alert them he is a fraud. The polls that aren’t rig tell the truth about his race to the bottom now in progress.
Been trying to see any news about B.O. but there is a Jacko overload here in Ca. Will Obama attend the Jackson memorial BTW...after all birds of a feather...!
The truth about ‘HopeyChangey’ is trickling out. ________ Bozeman Daily Chronicle Poll: “Six months into his presidency, how would you rate Barack Obama's performance?” 66% vote: awful http://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/
Return of the Black Panthers Commission quotes letter from Bartle Bull you read here first: "the most blatant form of voter intimidation I have encountered in my life in political campaigns."
Rarely does the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights vote unanimously on anything. A partisan divide has made the commission contentious in recent years. Yet the Department of Justice's decision to forfeit its voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party and three individual defendants drew a 6-0 vote with one abstention by the commission. What unified the commission was outrage at the Justice Department for letting the Black Panthers off the hook. ---- The must read of the day @ Lucinanne.com http://www.lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=480366 The liberals will call all the comments racist, but the truth about the outright thugs, the Black Panthers and ACORN are the truth the media refuses to cover.
Obooma says, “….when I couldn't get back to sleep, I rolled over and asked Brian Williams what he thought." And, he acts like that this is a joke? ----- Obama and networks: a symbiotic relationship By DAVID BAUDER – NEW YORK (AP) — Even President Barack Obama, a gleam in his eye as he talked at the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association dinner two weeks ago, seemed to recognize the [special relationship] he's forged with TV networks in the [opening months of his administration.] (How about the years the media fawned over him?)
"A few nights ago I was up tossing and turning and trying to figure out exactly what to say," he said. "Finally, when I couldn't get back to sleep, I rolled over and asked Brian Williams what he thought."

Fitz: Nobody was panicking to get out of newspaper stocks Monday. They walked away calmly and slowly.
On generally low volumes, the sector was mostly down, led, as is increasingly true in recent sessions, by The McClatchy Co. (NYSE: MNI) and Lee Enterprises (NYSE: LEE). The Big Board’s most persistent penny stocks both fell by double digits, with LEE off 8 cents, or 12.3%, to 57 cents, and MNI down 7 cents, or 13%, to 47 cents. MNI had a little bit of an explanation for its Blue Monday. The credit research firm CreditSights, in an analysis of hundreds of junk bond-rated companies, declared media operators to be among the most at risk of default -- and McClatchy as a sector leader with a 47% probability of defaulting within a year.

Reading the posts lately, there hasn't been much work from the Sacto Bee, nor Fresnow job Bee or Molesto Bees either. How about Merced Scum Star? Any word about the valley papers where C.K. McClatchy first started?
To 1:24: You're right there hasn't been much information about any of the Bees. What is up with that? Pruitt's office is at the Sac Bee so maybe the staff remnants are too scared to say anything. The Sac Bee guild site is worthless.

QUICK!
* Sarah Palin breaks her silence about resignation
Someone forward this link to ADN...http://www.yahoo.com/s/1097011
Maybe they can break the Sara Palin news yet.
Reading the posts lately, there hasn't been much work from the Sacto Bee, nor Fresnow job Bee or Molesto Bees either. How about Merced Scum Star? Any word about the valley papers where C.K. McClatchy first started?
OOPS! That's WORD not work. I can't afford a proofreader ;). We know there is not much work coming out of these papers!
To 1:24: You're right there hasn't been much information about any of the Bees. What is up with that? Pruitt's office is at the Sac Bee so maybe the staff remnants are too scared to say anything. The Sac Bee guild site is worthless.
