An attempt to discover common sense we lost by exploring popular media. Thursday, February 17, 2011. Unionize, Privatize, Budgetize. Wisconsin schools call off classes as budget protests continue. I fear that more people will start looking upon unionized workers with scorn. I think people have a fundamental right to living with enough income, but at the same time, why shouldn't they cough up a little more dough to cover their benefits? Here's some point by point commentary on the CNN article above:.

An attempt to discover common sense we lost by exploring popular media. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. CNN Needs Copywriters, Part 2. I don't care what you think of me. This is basic Grammar 101, people. Peta is not a word. PETA is an acronym and should be capitalized as such. Peta vs. Pita? That organization would probably love to be confused with a meatless food that is dipped in all types of vegan-friendly hummus and Baba Ghannouj. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT, RIGHT? No, I don't.).

An attempt to discover common sense we lost by exploring popular media. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Proofreading, An Ancient Art. Okay, okay. No more caps lock. But there really, truly has to be some college grad with a chip-head degree that can publish this without looking like:. Seriously. Why is there a job shortage in this country when so many of the things we consume (yes, this includes online information) is wrong, doesn't work, or breaks on the second try? The English version of al-Jazeera does ...

An attempt to discover common sense we lost by exploring popular media. Saturday, August 14, 2010. Social Media Bites Back (Well, A Nibble). When the going gets tough. you post it on your blog. This is popular media as a vehicle for my meager (yet very real) complaints about what's wrong with the companies I am hopelessly tied to because of their business practices. I have written to Bank of American thusly:. August 14, 2010. Rebecca L. LaDow. Tampa, FL 33611-3401. Bank of America has a long way to earn ...

An attempt to discover common sense we lost by exploring popular media. Tuesday, December 21, 2010. While hunger is a very real problem in this country now (an estimated 1 out of 7 of us are on food stamps), I need to pick another bone with - who else - our eminent news source, CNN, about its choice of finding the right words, or in this case pictures, to accurately describe the situation of, well, anything. In brief: Don't use an overweight kid to describe starvation. Don't fat kids get hungry, too?

An attempt to discover common sense we lost by exploring popular media. Wednesday, November 07, 2012. If you wanted an organized post. this ain't it. But the election did wake me from a kid-imposed reverie, so how do you do, long lost readers! The guy I voted for didn't win. No surprise there though - he was just trying to get 5% of the vote. That have yet to fully come to fruition. So what does this have to do with the Presidential election? I think there are a few things to point out:. This last point ...

An attempt to discover common sense we lost by exploring popular media. Tuesday, December 21, 2010. Social Media Nibbles Back, Spits Out. Remember how I closed my BofA account. I wrote a semi-snarky letter and did my homework, copying the appropriate executives and feeling immensely satisfied about taking my drip in their wages out in one swipe. Well, apparently it got someone's attention. Peon: "Mrs. LaDow, we received your correspondence and I am in the process of closing your account.". Accruing inter...
