He's certainly not a favorite among the mainstream media, but I believe (and hope!) that's just a coincidence. Very funny though.

The humiliation belonged to a faceless, blurry figure, and now she's claimed it as her own. Fuck her. She's doing this for the money, plain and simple.


You're probably more correct than you know.

From the link:

"In the hours that followed Cathy Cruz Marrero's appearance on 'Good Morning America' today to talk about the fall and its aftermath, she was in court for a status hearing on charges of five felony counts, including theft by deception and receiving stolen property," reports ABC News.

Turns out Marrero's been out on $7,500 bail since 2009, after being charged with running up more than $5,000 in purchases on a co-worker's credit card. No wonder she had a lawyer handy.

A man with access to the googles brings you fresh copypasta:

Uygur has appeared on television on numerous occasions on MSNBC, CNN Headline News, E! Entertainment Television, Aljazeera, ABC News, Voice of America, NPR and the Fox News Channel.

He is a regular guest on The Dylan Ratigan Show for a segment opposite various conservative commentators. On several occasions, Uygur has guest hosted the show in Ratigan's absence, and has also served as guest host for The Ed Show in the absence of Ed Schultz as well as the guest host for Keith Olbermann on Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

On October 21, 2010 msnbc announced that Uygur had been officially hired as a contributor and substitute anchor for the network. Previously, Uygur had periodically guest hosted and appeared on numerous msnbc programs.

And ABC News covered it, too.

Netrunner,
I'm not saying Republicans need the keys. I'm saying that Obama and the Democrats aren't exactly backing up the tow truck. Understand how we got in the Ditch? Let's see, Republican President throws us in War we don't want, need, or can afford to satisfy his Dad's agenda. Check!
Greedy banks and real estate agents lie and giving out loans to people that have no means to pay for them. Check!
Home cost to skyrocket only to imploded when the balloon payments go into effect. CHECK!
Then the banks sell the loans to Freddie and Fanny who are forced to buy the loans by the Government. These organizations then get stuck holding the bag for BILLIONS of dollars worth of bad loans. CHECK!
Oh yeah I got plenty of blame to sling around and I think I've got a pretty good idea of why we're in this mess. From what I can tell Health Care didn't have a hell of a lot to do with it. I'm glad we got it and I think millions will benefit from it, but now we need to focus on fixing our economy, and I don't hear anything from Washington except that we are going to wind up paying more. How much am I going to have to pay out of my check to fix other peoples greed? So don't take your holier than tho' attitude that I "still" don't understand. It doesn't take much to understand that my companies sales continue to sink in the toilet. 2 years in and Obama's still blaming Republicans. Democrats control the House and the Senate! Get a solution together and FIX THE DAMN ECONOMY! But that means creating jobs that aren't government jobs and I haven't seen Obama present a plan yet that does that. Oh wait, we can just extend unemployment! That's a great way to help the situation.

So do you know where the road is? Because I don't think bottomless funding of Freddie and Fanny is the way to go. So what's worse? That the Republicans didn't learn from their mistakes or that the Democrats didn't learn from the Republican's mistakes or even their own?!
Oh and judging from some of the polls, it seems more and more of the general population thinks so too.

This sort of crap 'infomercial' shit has no place in a 'news' broadcast... One perhaps thinks he has had it up to here with that sort of shit and was just letting them know what the story they were so happily talking about was... about women wanting to like dick more.

The other day, for some reason I was watching local news, and they gave a starbucks plug on the actual broadcast. It reminded me of one of the many reasons I avoid local news.

The West Virginia coal mine where an explosion killed 25 workers and left another four unaccounted for in the worst mining disaster since 1984 had amassed scores of citations from mining safety officials, including 57 infractions just last month for violations that included repeatedly failing to develop and follow a ventilation plan.

The federal records catalog the problems at the Upper Big Bra More..nch mine, operated by the Performance Coal Company. They show the company was fighting many of the steepest fines, or simply refusing to pay them. Performance is a subsidiary of Massey Energy. Another Massey subsidiary agreed to pay $4.2 million in criminal and civil fines last year and admitted to willfully violating mandatory safety standards that led to the deaths of two miners. The fine was the largest penalty in the history of the coal industry.

The nation's sixth biggest mining company by production, Massey Energy took in $24 million in net income in the fourth quarter of 2009. The company paid what was then the largest financial settlement in the history of the coal industry for the 2006 fire at the Aracoma mine, also in West Virginia. The fire trapped 12 miners. Two suffocated as they looked for a way to escape. Aracoma later admitted in a plea agreement that two permanent ventilation controls had been removed in 2005 and not replaced, according to published reports.

The two widows of the miners killed in Aracoma were unsatisfied by the plea agreement, telling the judge they believed the company cared more about profits then safety. After the deal, the Massey subsidiary pledged a renewed focus on safety after the fines were levied.

But Bruce Stanley, the attorney who tried the Aracoma Mine accident case, had doubts. He told ABC News Monday there are a lot of similarities between the Aracoma mine and the one involved in this week's tragedy, and he has concerns about Massey's checkered track record on safety issues. Data kept by the Mine Safety and Health Administration show the Upper Big Branch mine has suffered three worker fatalities in last 12 years.

"One can only hope that the level of criminal neglect evident at the Aracoma accident was not repeated at the Upper Big Branch mine," Stanley said Monday night.

After the Aracoma accident, Massey Energy released a statement that said the company "is a recognized leader in safety innovation and performance and remains committed to working with federal and state agencies to fully understand the causes of the accident and to prevent a similar occurrence at Massey Energy or elsewhere in the future."

Monday night, Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship released a statement saying, "Our top priority is the safety of our miners and the well-being of their families. We are working diligently on rescue efforts and continue to partner with all of the appropriate agencies."

The company is well known in West Virginia, in part because CEO Don Blankenship grew to become a fixture in state politics, doling out thousands of dollars to candidates he favored – most of them Republicans. In 2004, he spent millions on advertising that attacked a West Virginia state Supreme Court justice, leading to the election of challenger Brent Benjamin.

Massey had a $70 million case before the state Supreme Court and, once elected, Benjamin made the controversial decision not to recuse himself because of Blankenship's support of him and to hear arguments anyway. Another member of the court hearing the case was Chief Justice Elliott "Spike" Maynard. He later recused himself after photographs surfaced showing that he vacationed with Blankenship in the French Riviera.

When an ABC News reporter tried to interview Blankenship about the possible conflicts in the parking lot of a Massey Energy office in Belfry, Ky., Blankenship became agitated.

"If you're going to start taking pictures of me, you're liable to get shot," Blankenship told the reporter before grabbing his camera.


Blankenship later told the Charleston Daily Mail he couldn't recall making any threats. "Quite frankly, I don't know what I said except that I know I'm never loud, vulgar or rude to strangers," he said.

The conflicts surrounding the state Supreme Court saga triggered a cascade of changes, including a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that called on judges to recuse themselves when major donors come before them in court, and a vote by the West Virginia legislature to adopt public financing of judicial campaigns.

In 15 or 30 years, science will give her the face she wants using stem cell-based treatments. (Assuming civilization doesn't experience a greater slow-down than we've seen already in the last year.) Her condition is temporary.

That kind of progress is happening before our eyes:
