Media Matters In Bed With Teachers Unions
I guess it should not shock me that this happens. I am wondering how they can spend their union’s dues, that are a mandatory payment by union employees, and paid for by taxpayers, intended forthe benefit of SCHOOL TEACHERS! Instead the funds are being funneled to special interests of the teachers unions.
How can anyone be so crass as to pay for political favors with monies that should go to help the teachers? This is why I really abhor unions. They are not helping the people they were originally designed to help. They are a political machine built to line the pockets of union bosses and the campaigns of democrats who are willing puppets happy to push the cause.
Once again the liberal media climb on board the union train and use their various print and tv venues to spin untruths about conservatives, and at the same time pimp the liberal logic of unions and how they can’t survive without democratic help.
FOX NEWS: A document the National Education Association filed with the U.S. Department of Labor in 2011 indicates that the teachers union donated $100,000 to Media Matters For America nearly two years ago, describing it as a payment for “public relations costs.” In the months that followed, Media Matters’ online coverage of teachers unions increased, focusing largely on attacking the Fox News Channel and other media outlets it considers “conservative” in nature.The $100,000 payment was first documented in “Shadowbosses: Government Unions Control America and Rob Taxpayers Blind,” a book by Citadel international politics professor Mallory Factor published on August 21. “[T]o ensure that NEA’s agenda makes its way in the media,” Factor wrote, “NEA has given $100,000 to Media Matters, the George Soros-funded liberal ‘charitable organization’ dedicated to targeting mythical right-wing media bias.” (RELATED – Book: Obamacare law designed to unionize 21 million health care workers) The Daily Caller has obtained an electronic document verifying Factor’s claim. It is available on a website operated by the Department of Labor’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
And how about this tool in Washington State. A teacher who will not be fired but put on leave for ten days and moved to another school. My kids got a harsher punishment for staying out past their curfew.
Outstanding!!!

Thoughts On The First Night Of The Convention
I thought Anne Romney was wonderful considering she is not a public speaker. Did her and her man and her country well.
Chris Christie killed it. Don’t worry about him not blathering about Mitt, listen to the big picture, see the big picture, realise that there is a big picture!
The Ultimate Conflict Of Interest
The main players in the majority of information given via television, radio, and print media back Obama 10 to 1 in campaign contributions. So when does it become a conflict of American interest that the media gets to determine public opinion based on personal beliefs of their respective owner or CEO? How do you stop an information source that bleeds blue? How can you stop the liberal views of people who have been inundated with socialist ideology from their earliest school memories through college? And these same people are hired by like-minded individuals to spread the bullshit on the airwaves and high-speed cable lines throughout the country.
It may be time that any company considered a MAJOR news source like say NBC/ABC/CBS/Fox can’t donate to political campaigns. If the owner/CEO decides they want to donate some of his or her own money…..knock yourselves out.
I think I would like a law that eliminates media companies from contributing to various campaigns. Even as jaded as I am about any new laws passed just for the sake of passing new legislation to justify their vaunted position, like politicians do, eliminating the media from the process would do us some good.
If you have a car give away or a radio contest for whatthefuckever, you are not eligible as an employee of said company. Do the same with the media. You can’t play. Seems like a legit resolution to me.
All the major media companies, driven largely by their Hollywood film and television businesses, have made larger contributions to President Obama than to his rival, former Gov. Mitt Romney, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit, nonpartisan Washington-based research group that publishes the Open Secrets Web site. The center’s numbers represent donations by a company’s PAC and any employees who listed that company as their employer.
Even companies whose news outlets are often perceived as having a conservative bias have given significantly more money to Mr. Obama. Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, for example, has contributed $58,825 to Mr. Obama’s campaign, compared with $2,750 to Mr. Romney. The conglomerate, which owns Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post and the 20th Century Fox studios, gave roughly the same amount to Mr. Romney’s Republican primary competitors Rick Perry and Ron Paul as it did to Mr. Romney.
Other media companies have contributed more significantly to Mr. Obama, including Time Warner, owner of CNN and the magazine publishing house Time Inc. The company, which is based in New York and also owns Warner Brothers and HBO, has contributed $191,834 to Mr. Obama in the 2012 election cycle, compared with $10,750 to Mr. Romney. The Walt Disney Company, owner of ABC and ESPN, donated $125,856 to Mr. Obama and $9,950 to Mr. Romney.
Fishing In Alaska
Got this in am email today….don’t know how old or how true. But a nice story if true.
Some fishing stories are a little hard to believe, but this guy has pictures to prove his story…
I’ve heard of salmon jumping into boats, but never anything quite like this…
Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.
“Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us. We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed.
I opened up my back gate and we helped the typically skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat. In all my years fishing, I’ve never seen anything quite like it!
Once onboard, they collapsed with exhaustion, shivering.”
“This is a picture I took of the rescued bucks on the back of my boat, the Alaska Quest.
We headed for Taku Harbour . Once we reached the dock, the first buck that we had been pulled from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say ‘thank you’ and disappeared into the forest.
After a bit of prodding and assistance, two more followed, but the smallest deer needed a little more help.
This is me carrying the little guy.
My daughter, Anna, and son, Tim, helped the last buck to its feet. We didn’t know how long they had been in the icy waters or if there had been others who did not survive. My daughter later told me 
that the experience was something that she would never forget, and I suspect the deer felt the same way as well!”
I told you! Awesome… huh?
Our Lord works in mysterious way..

Bow Hunt Begins In 2 Weeks
This has got to be at least a 50 yard shot. And I think she is aiming at the target to the left. Her elbow may be just a bit to high for a proper release. What do you think?
