Clean Soccer, Anyone?

In light of the FIFA arrests on suspicion of receiving bribes among other financial dealings give rise to other opportunities for corruption. Women footballers must play on AstroTurf, judging by the size of a Soccer field any firm that has a chance to bid on that contract has a chance to make a killing. To increase viewership it has been floated, dressing the women players in sexually suggestive attire another contract for sale. Conclusion; both male and female teams play on natural grass in baggy uniforms, two avenues of financial enterprise minimized…

The Words She Spoke…

While watching the local news yesterday it was obvious that the news reader was a ‘powder puff journalist’, however, her hair was not blond enough, the false eyelashes not long enough, lips not greasy enough, so it was impossible to grasp the true meaning of the words she spoke…

Mo Money…Mo Money…

Every your hundreds of research and scientific institutions full of investigators go begging for funding to find the panacea for some of the world most horrendous afflictions. Every year thousands of dollars are found and spent toward that end. And yet in that same year millions no make that billions worldwide are appropriated to push a ball across a field. It does not take a rocket scientist to conclude that there is something wrong with that picture, is not even noticed until themselves or close associates in urgent need for the results that only ample amount of funding could have brought about, and yet the crowd cheers on and on without a bit of regret or shame…

In These Modern Times…

In the very beginning all human kind of the earth living on all the land suitable for habitation, segregated themselves into groups, tribes, clans or adopted strangers of like interest, be it religion or merely found themselves haphazardly thrown together because of the weather or the search for food. And it was perfect and natural that they should do so. As some groups became more powerful begin to consolidate and fabricate uncommon unions. To fast forward into colonialism and the dividing of peoples into countries, which do not have a common interest or share a mother tongue, as we look around today does not cement unity. The conception of countries with boundaries, lines of separation, is a rather new modification, a mutation if you will, when placed in a pure historical and primitive environment. To ask or expect a group of people to bear arms as one without the concept of country can only lead to preposterousness… (See Sykes-Picot agreement) much like expecting an Iraqi fighting force who celebrates its achievements in pre-Islamic times to engage in modern Islamic wars…Shiites vs Sunnis…

Is This News?

Many women after spending years in graduate study, perhaps more as an intern, dream of one day winning the Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Award for broadcast and digital journalism. After applying at a television station being accepted as ‘on air talent’ because of the many scholarship achievements only to be required to dye hair blond and appear as a Bobbi Doll type reading the news that someone else wrote. Not depressing enough, wait there’s more.

The next time you enter a grocery or supermarket ask for a brown paper bag to carry your purchase home claiming paper is better for the environment than plastic. Attach the brown paper bag to your television and watch a few news shows as many as you can stand. Note the color tones of the women that appear on the news set, try to find one or two that are darker than the brown paper bag. Conclusion, no one darker than a brown paper bag is able to report or even read the news, or so it would seem…

The Keys…

Few like to look to the past for keys to the future but I have always found it useful. During the late 1940’s, early 1950’s, the world was full of a lot tinhorn dictators, many more then there are today, and the President had no qualms dealing with them to work toward world peace and in American interest. Members of congress and many civilian organizations were critical of such dealings. I think it was Harry Truman that said, I might be wrong, even if I am he seemed to have traveled in the spirit of the statement, ‘I know he’s a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch’, which is a key he used to deal with tyrants which seems like a good idea today instead of toppling every tinhorn dictator that does not operate in a democratic mold…

That Face…

When I tune into a news program these days there is all ways a hurdle that has to be negotiated first before considering what the news reader has to report. That hurdle is and it should not ever be in contention, what the news reader has opted to put forward is what is on their face. If the nose is large or the mouth is wide, are natural features are understandable and acceptable, however, if one goes out of their way to elongate the eyelashes, change the natural color of the face and prepares the lips to appear as if they have just eaten, distracts from the reason for their appearance which is to deliver the news not a crash course in supercilious make-up…

It has been stated that both men and women suffer hair thinning and boldness at about the same rate, women slightly more since they are more prone to engage in caustic hair products, I am willing to bet the farm not to ever see a woman in my life time deliver the news with a thinning hair line. The first woman President will frequently fall prey to news reports of changing hair color and never be known for going bold while in office…

Developing impropriety at some network news divisions has resulted in aged former on air talent to comment, the women instead of appearing as they look today appeared in some semblance as they once did in wig and pounds of make-up, what a horror occurrence to be hold.

Once again when thanked for something, anything, the only proper response is, you’re welcome…
