keep on truckin' mama

truck my blues away

whoa Nellie! I thought I was the only one who was watching Wendy McCuckoo and the News-Press but I got one-upped but good by the SB View and Cheri Rae..it appears the SB View has finally given Pearl Chase a rest as I suggested...and now they busted the News-Press for its HORRIBLE reporting..on the front page no less...

I saw the story in the News-Press last week or so and saw the photo of John Muir and knew it wasn't him... but I was too tired to do anythng about it..I'm weary I tell ya, weary..blues weary

I can't do it all you know so Cheri did it ...I know Cheri mixes up her Ps and Qs now and then, but she'll never be as mixed up as Wendy!

so here's the link to the SB View...
Cheri Rae: The story had just about settled when it came to my attention that the Santa Barbara News-Press decided to reprint the article last week. On the front page. But unlike the Times, the local newspaper ran an absurd graphic with the story: they included what they credited a "Courtesy photo" with the caption that read "John Muir." But anyone who has any familiarity at all with John Muir would know that modern-looking image was not a photo of the naturalist himself. Actually it was a photograph of Lee Stetson (pictured right), a veteran actor who frequently appears in his one-man show, "An Evening With John Muir," and other productions that honor and promote the life and work of the famed naturalist. - See more at: http://www.santabarbaraview.com/#sthash.4btbpg2D.dpuf

so the News-Press reprinted a story from the Tribune News Service...it's about John Muir and his legacy and according to some dimwitted nativist, Muir's legacy should be one of racism and not preserving the great outdoors, esp around Yosemite where he loved to spend time..the article was illogical and absurd...

I don't have time to discuss Muir's legacy or the article in depth - I see it every time I'm hiking- but instead of a real picture of John Muir, the News-Press used a picture of a character actor who played Muir, thinking it was the real John Muir and calling it a "Courtesy Photo".....

JFK                          Courtesy Photo

it's like doing a story on JFK and using a picture of Rob Lowe who played (badly) JFK in the FOX News Killing Kennedy low energy/low budget production..is it any wonder that Rob is pitching ads for Direct TV nowadays?? who taught you how to act, Rob? Mickey Mouse? hahahaah! hohohoho! hehehehe don't you think the joker laughs at you??

and is it any wonder the News-Press subscriptions are below the recordable threshold?
