Food Poisoning and Politics

So... I was searching info on "mayonnaise poisoning" (me thinks it might of been coleslaw thats making me hate my life and stomach right now) and I got following results:

  • #1 said "YES"
  • #2 said "NO"
  • #3 said "YES"
  • #4 said "NO"
  • #5 said "well, MAYBE IF..."
  • #6 well you get the idea by now...
After a few minutes I gave up on all of that seeing how I was getting 20 different opinions and no evidence to back up a single one of them. So out of boredom I searched "Who should we believe?" into google. and of coarse #1 was reserved for america's leading politician campaign headliner/fanatic/supporter/etc, Jesus! (long story short whom wrote the 45 page editorial calls jesus a lunatic at the end. amusing enough)

Than I found cute little comedy skit a couple more down:
I think this was worth a giggle... I copied this from: http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/wuz/2006/12/bloggers_vs_ap.html



Who Should You Believe - AP or Bloggers?






[John]








B1_2
Hi, I'm a blogger.



B2_2
And I'm a journalist for the Associated Press.



B3_1
You're a journalist for AP? What are you working on?



B4_1
Well, I just got back from Iran.




B3_1
Were you reporting on those students that heckled Ahmadinejad?



B6_1
Maybe you bloggers haven't heard, but we are fighting a war over there. I think that's a little more important than what some rowdy students might be doing.



B7_1
...




B8_1
...



B3_1
Wait, are you talking about Iraq?



B6_1
Oh, right, Iraq. I do that all the time - they're spelled almost exactly alike, you know.



B9_1
I know. And, by the way, everyone knows we're fighting a war in Iraq.




B6_1
Thanks to the Associated Press!



B9_1
Um...yeah. So, what's it like over there?



B6_1
It's tough - surviving on rations, having to watch your back every minute, blistering heat.



B9_1
You really gotta feel for the troops over there.




B6_1
Who?



B10_1
...



B9_1
Never mind. So, did you come away with any interesting stories?



B6_1
Well, since the story will be out in the next couple of hours, I suppose I can let you in on this.




B6_1
I broke a story about a particularly nasty incident involving some al-Qaeda people attacking a group of Sunnis.



B3_1
Are you sure you've got that right? I'm pretty sure al-Qaeda is a Sunni organization.



B6_1
Who can keep track - maybe they were sheilas.



B9_1
You mean Shiites?




B6_1
I guess. Anyway, that's not important - whatever they were, the one group dragged a bunch of the others out of their mask...



B9_1
Mosque.



B6_1
Whatever. They dragged these guys into the street and burned them alive.



B9_1
Wow! Those must have been some pretty gruesome pictures.




B6_1
Pictures... right. We didn't really get any pictures.



B9_1
Oh. Well, I feel for you, man. I don't know if I could handle seeing something like that.



B6_1
I didn't actually see what happened. Personally.




B3_1
So, someone else from AP saw what happened?



B6_1
Actually, we got the details from a source. That's a term we journalists use for...



B3_1
I know what a source is. So, who was this source of yours?




B6_1
Good question.



B8_1
...



B8_1
...



B3_1
So...who was it?




B6_1
I believe his name is, uh...Sadam Hussein. Yes, that's it.



B9_1
Dude, Sadam Hussein is the former dictator of Iraq.



B8_1
...



B9_1
You know, the guy who was recently sentenced to death?




B6_1
Oh, riiiight. I read about that somewhere. Come to think of it, my source's name is Barack Hussein.



B9_1
That's the first and middle name of a U.S. Senator.



B6_1
Sorry, I'm a little tired right now from the jet lag. Six-hour flight, you know.



B9_1
Um, I've never been to Iraq, but I think it takes a lot longer than six hours to fly there.




B6_1
Not if you fly first class. Anyway, my source's name should be easy to find out - he's Iraq's Interior Minister.



B9_1
That's a story in itself - but I guess you already thought of that. Being a journalist.



B11_1
Or did he work for the Interior Minister?




B9_1
You might want to check into that.



B11_1
Maybe he was an interior decorator.



B12_1
Good thing they have editors at the AP.



B11_1
Wait, I'm thinking of our source in Iran. Do we even have a source in Iraq?




B12_1
Somebody should keep an eye on this guy.


UPDATE: I was almost asleep when I posted this, neglected to say the post is especially for Michelle and Curt.



Michelle, Curt, if you do go, stay safe. Personally, I don't trust Eason Jordan as far as I can throw him. After all, the man has a checkered past, to put it mildly.













In my opinion I believe a lot of new organizations lie or cover up or simply, and most often, don't tell whole story. but whatever. When it comes down to it I'm just a blogger using copy and paste for something to do at the moment!

Ima try to sleep again. night-night
