The professional detachment that journalists use like a keyboard or camera to help them do their jobs without becoming emotional wrecks failed to materialize. Everyone in the newsroom sat in stunned silence.

RACISM: Here's the cure

This country needs to take a deep breath and calm down for five seconds. Watching national news over the last year, there’s no shortage of self-proclaimed experts rushing to a microphone or keyboard to tell us what another person is thinking or intends; usually without even knowing their target. We’re all being categorized and labeled by race, job, religion, location, sex, etc. I’m never surprised at how quickly those who claim to hate stereotyping immediately stereotype those they disagree with.

EPA: Communist takeover in action

Have I got your attention? Think about it! While you are thinking about it, go over to your keyboard and Google/Bing up Communism. Read about all the rules and regulations.
