The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Lamestream reports of the nuclear problem in Japan provided perhaps five minutes of news per hour of broadcast, making an ethical error they frequently make. With nothing new to report, they just kept on reporting. B-roll footage, those scenes rolled behind the talking heads and guest speakers, ran dozens of times per hour and sometimes more, because they had no other footage to show. That's known as not good reporting.
In the face of massive devastation, the majors flew their talking heads right into the scene, kept them fed and well dressed, and provided almost no new news. Despite a dire lack of any fresh information, the networks and cable providers virtually blacked-out any other news, of which planet Earth produces a fresh crop constantly. Geraldo Rivera breathlessly consumed two hours of air time at a time.
Government was once again proven to be the suppressor of news, as guest experts attempted to guess what was going on, and complained that "officials" were not cooperating, a fact that surprised no one.
We were treated to endless images of people in white bunny suits, holding what appeared to be Geiger counter sensors up to people, but never once actually saw the meter, heard the clicking, or got any information on whether radiation was detected or how much. Not one reporter on any channel The Uninvited Ombudsman monitored ventured forward to say, "What readings have you got?" which would have been hard news.
The accuracy of anything that comes out in the future about what actually happened will be met with skepticism, SOP. Industry insiders will get real reports, to prepare for the future, but the information is not expected to be reliably made public. Stock discussions of how a nuclear reactor works, which any grade-school child should have been taught, consumed endless hours as well, but at least had colorful cartoons showing the insides of a make-believe reactor.

8- Whose Budget Is It Anyway?
The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:
Mr. Obama has released his fiscal year budget for 2012, a document of more than 2,000 pages, with an overall cost of $NNN. Congress has not yet commented.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Does anyone recall when the executive branch began releasing a budget to Congress? Shouldn't it be the other way around? If I recall: "All bills for raising Revenue shall ORIGINATE in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills. (Article I, Section 7, emphasis added).
The office of the president is free to say whatever it wants of course. But the idea that vast monies and efforts are spent to produce 2,000 pages of spending plans, from a branch that lacks authority to act on such plans, strikes The Uninvited Ombudsman as bass ackwards. But what do I know. Finance is not my strong suit. I'm best at reading plain English.
According to the White House (a non-human that cannot make statements, no other author was identified): "The President’s 2012 Budget is a responsible approach..."
A simple review of the main features as described by the non-human white building reveals that few of the items proposed are authorized by the U.S. Constitution, the olden document that no longer controls the nation's rulers. For example, "Reforms K-12 school funding by supporting high standards..." and "Builds a next-generation, wireless broadband network..." and "Establishes 20 new Economic Growth Zones..." and there's a lot more in 2,000 pages... http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/overview
By the numbers, the guy wants Congress to spend $3.7 trillion, but only plans to collect from us taxpayers $2.6 trillion, so he, without any remorse or regret, plans to go in broke tank for $1.1 trillion. A trillion dollars, a number too large for anyone -- even a person with an economics degree -- to comprehend, is a thousand billion dollar bills. A billion dollars, also too large to truly comprehend, is a thousand million dollar bills. In plain English, that's a lot of your money.
Oh, wait. This is about spending, not raising revenue. Do I have that right?

9- Government Shutdown Baloney
The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:
The government may have to shut down if republicans and democrats can't reach agreement on a budget. At issue are 31 billion in cuts democrats want to make that republcans say are not enough.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Just when you thought the "news" media could not treat us any more stupidly, they out do themselves with a repeat of a story that was total hogwash last time, and even more baloney this time.
The federal government does not shut down during a media-hyped shutdown.
You cannot shut down a national forest, and the tress and animals are laughing at you.
The troops overseas continue to reload and fire.
Everyone who is supposed to get a paycheck gets it, perhaps a little late.
Many get their paychecks with bonuses and compensation for their discomfort.
Homeland Security, the FBI, CIA, IRS, ATF, FAA, FCC, DEA, and the rest of the alphabet soup bureaucrats and enforcers go to work same as usual. Those who are put on leave get paid time off, which will show up in their next paychecks.
No one loses any money, except the taxpayers who pay for the time off and get no service in return (if you can call some of what they do service).
Threatening the public with government shutdowns is a humiliating insult.
Cutting $100 billion from the budget (the original goal) is such a small amount it is laughable. We have nearly that much waste and fraud just in Medicare, according to the government's own figures.
To get an idea of how small $100 billion is these days to the government, look at this. This fellow uses a penny (one penny) to represent $2 billion dollars. Then he covers a huge table with stacks of five pennies to represent the U.S. budget. Then he takes one penny, cuts it in half, cuts the half in half, and puts three quarters of the penny back on its stack. That's how much money we're talking about removing from the budget. It's nothing.
And it shows you why government has gotten so powerful. By taking money from each of us, they amass an unfathomably large fortune, and then use it against us in innumerable ways, and cry that if they change anything the whole system will shut down.
Meanwhile, out here, we're hoping and praying for a shudown. A day or three without government would be a good thing, don't you think?

We're watching you --
So Gabrielle Giffords is going to be wrapped up and shipped to Cape Kennedy to watch the space shuttle launch. Will we get to see her? Will we see if she is fit? Will anyone who comes in contact with her the entire time tell us what they think? The media has been presenting a non-stop tirade of gushing isn't-she-doing-great stories. What's the truth? Can we hear her speak? Is she really on her way to being a viable candidate, or is she raising those fantastic sums we keep hearing about out of sympathy? Are we witnessing the biggest, most overt, fairyland tripe ever trumped up over a crime vicitm? Curious minds want to know. Surely someone, somewhere in all the retinue, will see her and form a judgment on the only question that really matters, that EVERYONE wants to know... is she whole, or will she ever be? Sure, we share sympathy over the tragedy. And no, the media does not get a pass to pull the wool over our eyes, or fail to report, no matter how tragic it was or how wishful we all are...
Let's just soak the rich!

2011 Traveler's Guide to the Gun Laws of the 50 States
The 2011 book is now in stock and shipping, the delays and computer problems are over, get yours now. More than 50 changes in this edition, plus it now includes rules for restaurant carry, and greatly expanded front matter with requirements with police during a roadside stop, motorcycles and much more.
We're back on our standard goal of five-to-ten business day delivery. Still only $13.95 +S&H, so much cheaper than a lawyer -- and better than many of them (though it was written by an excellent Kentucky attorney, J. Scott Kappas.) Nearly one million copies in print. http://www.gunlaws.com/travel.htm
The Traveler's Guide provides the only nationwide ranking of gun freedom in the states of the Union. The book has increased the rank of Arizona to 99%, which corresponds closely to the Brady Center to Promote Gun Violence's ranking of freedom suppression, which places Arizona near the bottom of its so-called report card.
Arizonans, proud of the Brady rank of 2 out of 100, are pressing for a perfect zero score, with bills now in the legislative process. To keep up with Arizona's innovative proposed statutes, follow the action at the Arizona Citizens Defense League, http://www.azcdl.org.
Changes to the freedom ranks of other states have been made as well.

Special letter from NRA Board of Directors members living in Arizona --
On behalf of the five NRA Board Members who make Arizona their home (including two past presidents), we’re asking you to take a stand on gun rights and support the TrainMeAZ campaign now being organized.
Our new Constitutional Carry law changes everything. Now that any law-abiding adult in Arizona can discreetly carry firearms, Arizona leads the nation in demonstrated support for the Second Amendment. It’s in your interest as Arizonans, and the nation needs to know, what we’ve accomplished.
We have a priceless opportunity to launch “a culture of marksmanship” here in Arizona that can sweep across the country, but it can only happen with your direct involvement. Now that government no longer dictates the training environment, private enterprise and the free market should take advantage and fill that vacuum.
This will help your business, build your customer base, and bolster the right to keep and bear arms. By acting as a state instead of separately, we will present an image to the nation that pushes all our independent interests ahead... Read the rest.
