Atlanta Progressive News has parted ways with long-serving senior staff writer Jonathan Springston. Apparently, Springston’s affinity for fact-based reporting clashed with Cardinale’s vision.
And, no, that’s not sarcasm.
In an e-mail statement, editor Matthew Cardinale says Springston was asked to leave APN last week “because he held on to the notion that there was an objective reality that could be reported objectively, despite the fact that that was not our editorial policy at Atlanta Progressive News.”
These are two ads for a studieby in Esbjerg, a city on the west coast of Denmark. A studieby (literally a study-town) seems to be a virtual or marketing entity that is the product of a coordinated effort by the higher education institutions of some locale. They want to attract students.
The ad campaign’s slogan is “We’ve taken care of the education, you’re on your own with…”.
First example, for this first ad, “We’ve taken care of the education, you’re on your own with the cleaning”. The young man is on the phone with his mother and explains how he’s actually right in the middle of cleaning up; everything is being polished [my Danish expert is unsure if this is a double entendre].
Young woman shouldn’t feel left out. “We’ve taken care of the education, you’re on your own taking notes.” And the young woman is reassuring her mom that no, it’s not like Hotel Paradise, just a little study group.
It’s always so depressing to check up on Europe, but every now and then it’s nice to know how good we in the States have it.
Let’s start by mentioning the usual double-digit unemployment rates now include rising national debt! NB, no guarantees this link will continue to be valid, but just use the search string “europe debt unemployment” and you’re sure to get an up-to-date list of links.
Let’s move on to the always popular Jewish Problem (Europe, in general, and Germany, in particular, will never forgive the Jews for the Holocaust -- yes, that quote was stolen and mangled by me).
First things first, the UK just released a report detailing how the UK is dealing with its Jewish problem. Not so well it seems, but at least the Limeys seem to be aware that there just might be a problem. Sweden’s Jewish Problem is leaving; as is the French Jewish Problem. Way to go, goys! Show those Jews who’s boss! In the interests of fairness, it should be noted that life sucks for lots of other people in France too.
On to Those Pictures. You know. They continue to provide entertainment as well as some apparently much needed time off.
And let us not forget the Euro Left. The real puppet-masters of Europe. The creators and keepers of all that is Good and Decent and Right and Proper. Unless you threaten their power. For example, as Pim Fortuyn, Geert Wilders is attempting to do in Holland. Take it away, Pat.
UPDATE: A very out-of-rhythm speech was followed by some of the most obscure and unhelpful questions ever uttered at a town-hall meeting. I was left with a bit of sympathy for President Obama, as questioner after questioner asked about their own specific concerns, often way out of the president’s duties, responsibilities, and realm of expertise: One guy was an inventor who wanted to give him a sales pitch, one woman lamented the impatience of the American people before complaining about a slow response from the state environmental agency over her toddler’s lead poisoning, one guy wanted to read the president a poem; there was a woman who talked about the problem of finding students for her truck-driving school, an old lady who was upset that her Social Security didn’t have a cost-of-living increase, and a guy who had the patent for some wind-turbine issue that he was in a fight with some company about. One poor soul raised his hand and just wanted to shake Obama’s hand.
I’m not really sympathetic. These are his people. The ones who thought, think and will continue to think that the President’s job is to solve their problems and hand out goodies.
Insty posts a link from the (as usual oh-so sanctimonious) Guardian about how awful it that that cruise ships are still landing in Haiti. He comments that “Stopping these visits might help rich people in developed countries feel better about themselves, but it won’t do anything for Haiti, which still needs money”. Another good quote from an emailer is presented, followed by this:
Rich people on cruise ships give Haiti money voluntarily through evil capitalism. What they really need is handout money confiscated by force from the middle class and given through government compassion.”
Yes. Very well stated.
And from the AOSHQ post about the ass-kicked Dallas Cowboys comes question “Is there any team in America that is more fun to watch losing than the Dallas Cowboys?” To which is responded:
On the contrary. The Democrats are more fun to watch losing than the Cowboys and I say that as a lifelong Redskins fan.
You should click on that link to see one of the few good things about the Dallas Cowboys.
When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?
Of course, as Tim Blair helpfully points out, “His obscene opinion would be bigger news if Glover had – in the manner of others – idiotically blamed a less-fashionable deity”.
And who’d'a thunk it? For the not-so-political dopey liberals, more brazen lies!
