Well, I have seen a lot of bad on television and a little bit of good on television and an extremely great abundance of ignorance on television and even some blacks who are racists on television since I published the previous edition of T.H.A.T.. I am going to show you examples of the good, the bad, the ignorant, and the racists in this edition of T.H.A.T. It might amaze you or you might be amazed by what is sneaking on to television these days--in many cases.
On Tuesday, December 20, 2011, and Wednesday, December 21, 2011, I watched programming on WHPR-TV (Channel 33, analog, Detroit) to see what was going on (and I do that regularly), and I did not expect anything useful, and I watched in roughly the 9:00 o'clock hour in the morning on both days. On Tuesday morning, I watched a program hosted by two men--Carl and Hasan (their names were not displayed on the screen, so I may have the spellings wrong). They called the Governor of Michigan--Rick Snyder--a racist, and the two men and callers pushed the ideas that the Mayor of Detroit (Dave Bing) is a lacky for others, such as whites, and the viewers should support the new NAACP (incidentally, the NAACP is a black-led communist organization today). I did not run a tape so that I could pass along quotations from the hosts and callers, but I did not know stuff from the program could have been used to tie in what I would see the next day (Wednesday). On Wednesday, I heard a lot of ignorance on the station, and I heard racist comments (blacks against whites). In the eight o'clock hour and the nine o'clock hour in the morning, Reverend Jim Holley (a well-known religious leader in Detroit) was hosting a show, and he is a prime example of what Detroiters are. Reverend Jim Holley is a truly ignorant man, and I can show that by showing what the man said starting about 9:06 a.m. in trying to answer a question posed by a caller about how Detroit can get better: "...If I had a wish list, ah, for this que, this Christmas for Detroit. Ah, the first thing that I would do is say that we really need and that I would like to see....we got to get this management thing under, under control. And it's got to be for the next two or three years. And that, that somehow the, the unions--the 38 unions--we just got to get them to, to give, to give in and understand that, ah, that somebody's gonna have to be hurt, but also the pain that's gonna be there. And we, we, and it's inevitable. It...we just got to know we serve 500,000 people and not 900,000. The other thing, of course, is is that, ah, we got to also, when people are laid off, ah, we got to make sure that they are, that we give them some hope. And that is that we get, ah, my wish list, is that we would have all those who are laid off who have moritoriums on their, ah, on their, on their, ah, on their, um, their mortgages, and that the utilities would be on a budget, ah, automatic, all laid off those people who want to accept it, that, so that you can handle your mug, mortgage, and if you have got your house note and your utilities under control and you have, have been laid off and you get compenstation, ah, you got a way, you got a shot at it. That's the first thing I think that has to be done. And that the unions, they have this culture, ah, that, dah, ah, that, dah, they want to protect their, their members, and, ah, and, and they should. They should do that. Ah, but in, in some situations. And also you've gotta have, have unions, who are head of the unions, they gonna have to...take a cut. They gonna have to take a cut. You got people on these unions makin' two, two- or three-hundred-thousand dollars a year, and they got to take a cut, and then, certainly, the city got to really to take a cut. The mayor, the city council, city clerk--all of these people gotta be part of, of this pain. Ah, you cannot extract pain, and, and, not, dah, not understand you got to aborbe it. And that's. And I'm saying quickly be'cause I want to get back to the phones. But I think that's, if I had a wish list, that's. The second thing we got to have is an attitude, if I was mayor and I was on city council, ah, we have this attitude--Detroi, Detroit first. That's, this is what I gotta put in our minds. Anything that happens in Michigan--Detroit first. Anything that goes on to Michigan, if any money comes to Michigan, it comes to Detroit first. We gotta got to Washington and say to...Obama administration, ah, that, dah, make sure that these resources, rather than just the next, the next round of money that comes to Michigan, that it comes to Detroit, not through the federal government, but through Detroit, and, and that, and that you will give accountability, that it goes where it's supposed to go. If it's supposed to go for, go for weather, ah, weather, ah, stipping, ah, ah, program, then it'll go for that. And we'll put things in place. But only people who live in Detroit will be able to do those jobs. You gotta understand, tha, that we've got to challenge this whole thing about, ah, we've got to give other people a higher priority, ah, when the money comes to us, it comes ta, ta, the citizens of Detroit, and it should be Detroit first. In addition, to that, ah, we got to get our all the businesses that's in Detroit and pull them together and find out what they do and wha they, and what they need and how we can help these small businesses in Detroit. If we got. For example, we got, ah, froze, frozen food coming in. I met with them yesterday, ah, with some other people, and they got about sixty, sixty jobs, and some of these jo, and they're gonna start building a forty, twenty-thousand, ah, fac, facillity, twenty-thousand, ah, square-foot facility, and it's gonna cos about, but it, we're talkin', ah, pro, produce, we're talkin' about, ah, whole foods. And so we ought to have, ah, some people, ah, that will be, that will produce from the stor, soil to the, to, to the shelf--soil to the shelf. Ah, the, the, the pro, the product, we grow it, and it goes right to the shelf in frozen foods, and if we do that well, we can supply all of those frozen foods across the country, ah, out of Detroit. And we got to understand--that, that's not the panacia, it, it is just an aspect of it. But it's got to be Detroit first. If you gonna, if, if you, so you gotta do business. Then after that becomes all face, faiths, whether it's the Muslims, whether the Baptists, Methodists, or whether it's The Son of Man, whatever--all of us got to come together and, ah, have a way of...seein' to our people the same message that there's hope, and that is what we gonna do. The message to all of our congregations and so forth. Then to our media, the next round, to give, 'cause they got to stop...lambsting Detroit. They, we got to have good media. We got to have good representation. And then, of course, we got to get to, to these, the, the organizations, the faith organizations, non-faith organizations....501(c)(3)s, and see what we can do to help them. And you, you keep trippin' and trippin' and trippin and trippin' until to get to the lease of these. Understand, my citzen brother, about the, a portion of this city are illeterate, and we got to--you can't send them back school, you go to have training, you got to have training. And this training can be done, ah, with, ah, with, ah, with other, with other programs and other manufacturing. This training does not call for them to read to the eigth grade, 'cause they're not gonna do it...." And Reverend Jim Holley went on and on, but I stop showing that, and although Reverend Holley had a few good points, his total piece came off as nonsense, and that is what people in Detroit are being taught overall--nonsense. Reverend Jim Holley did pass along this statement: "...You can't go nowhere. You can't sit in your car. You can't go to the gas, gas, ah, pump, ah, without thinkin' you're gonna be lookin' around. Because you can't go nowhere after nine o'clock, and because. And, and we afraid of each other. When I was growin' up, I couldn't walk across the street, 'cause the white boy would woop my behind. Now...I would try to make my way to the black community, and now that I'm in the black community, I try to make my way to the white community, 'cause the black folk are the one that hurtin' me...." Oh, a little after Reverend Holley spoke that words that I have put in quotation marks, a caller--a man--called in an pushed hatred from blacks on whites, saying, for example: "...It's all about black people today, as far as I'm concerned! Whoever don't like that, they gonna have to, 'cause today is our for, to rise up and be great men and women that God wanted us to be...."
[Note: The Son of Man is talked about in T.H.A.T. #81 (which can be reached by using this T.H.A.T. #81 link) and Detroit and Death: A Future View of the United States of America (which can be reached by using this Detroit link).]Incidentally, Henry Tyler, one of the managers of WHPR-TV, Channel 33 (analog), was a guest of the episode of K.E.Y.S Kids TV Show (a local series) that was shown on WMYD-HD, Channel 20.1, on Saturday, January 7, 2012, at 11:00 a.m., and the program did not push the type of crap that is commonplace on WHPR-TV during the locally made programs--the focus was on Henry Tyler's brother, Willie Tyler, and Wille's friend known as Lester.
And now I come to one of the highly bad things that you might have seen on television since December 10, 2011, though it seems very likely that your favorite television newscast did not cover the event. On Thursday, Jauary 5, 2012, U.S Representative Nancy Pelosi (a Democrat related to California) had a press conference. Look at some things that she said to reporters in public:
Nancy Pelosi: "...I'm very proud of the President of the United States and the appointments that he made yesterday. I'm very glad that he did, and it's important for the American people to know what challenges face him as he tries to, ah, ah, provide leadership for the agencies of government, which had been, ah, ah, voted on by the Congress are a part of our public policy. Yes, sir?"
A reporter (from The Daily Caller): "...The, the Senate, however, was in a pro forma session yesterday, and critics are saying that the President was not able to make those recess appointments 'cause Congress was not actually in recess...."
Nancy Pelosi: "Well, let that be the public debate with the Senate that, ah, ah, fortunately or unfortunately for us, we [the members of the U.S. House of Representatives] do not have a roll, ah , in the confirmation process, ah, but we're glad that the President took the lead, went out there, was bold, ah, made the appointments...."
So what was this exchange of words about? Some positions in government are tied to the President making nominations and the U.S. Senate putting the nominated people through confirmations processes, and when the U.S. Senate is in true recess, such on holiday vacation, the U.S. President may make such appointments, which will only be on a temporary basis or last for only a short time. On Wednesday, January 4, 2012, Barack Obama made some appointments--put people in jobs--but the U.S. Senate was not in true recess. That means Barack Obama is in violation of The United States Constitution once again. In addition, during the press conference to which I refer in this section, Nancy Pelosi showed that she supports Barack Obama's appointment work, which is illegal work.
Note: For more information about this subject, you are urged to see my document entitled A History of Barack Obama Events: A Show of Deconstruction, especially the part of the document from "100" through "101", and the document can be reached by using this History link.I have to note that I did see Jeffrey Sachs (an author) appear on Tavis Smley on Thursday, January 5, 2012, on WTVS-HD, Channel 56.1 (a PBS affiliate). Jeffrey Sachs passed along a lot of lies and pushed propaganda of the highest degree, as you should expect from a communist (or a person that pushes "enslavism" as a viable government form), and Tavis Smiley agreed with all the nonsense presented by Jeffrey Sachs, which shows the quality of Tavis Smiley. I did not run a tape so that I could present examples of the nonsense in this edition of T.H.AT., even when a repeat showing was presented on Channel 56.2 the next night, because I figured this edition of T.H.A.T. already had enough material in text form from television programs that is nonsense. I make this note because, the next day, I was at the Mardigian Library of the University of Michigan (Dearborn Campus) to find old articles about The Mackinaw WAGB-83 (which is now the Icebreaker Mackinaw Maritime Museum, Mackinaw City, the Straits of Mackinaw), and I found the library offers Tavis Smiley programs as part of the "database" list to students (and the library offers access to Need To Know, another highly left-wing program of PBS). Nonsense and lies are commonplace on television, given there are many highly left-wing programs on television today, and at the library of the University of Michigan (Dearborn Campus). (By the way, I am now probably the most informed person about the history of The Mackinaw WAGB-83, having tracked down hundreds of old articles and old photographs of the former icebreaker of the Great Lakes.)
Special commentary: Since I published the previous edition of T.H.A.T., In a television series called All-American Muslim was in the news, as was Russell Simmons (a music mogul), who had, in essence, been one of the people instrumental in pushing the crappy gangster rap and hip-hop music on the American music scene. Lowe's, a hardware-type store, pulled advertising from All-American Muslim (pulling ads from shows has been done for decades by companies and it is not uncommon practice). Because of Lowe's actions, Russell Simmons--who is the chairman of something called the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding--was reported (by ew.com) to have said "This can't happen in America." And the story hinted that Russell Simmons issued a threat--to start up a boycott of Lowe's. I wonder what Russell Simmons thinks of the racists in Detroit and on Detroit television, since he is the chairman of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding.
Here is another commentary section--though minor. On December 20, 2011, I saw more ignorance and evilness on television, but I did not run a tape so that I could present examples of it in this edition of T.H.A.T., since I had become tired of transcribing "uck" for the day. On December 20, 2011, the program called Charlie Rose had Charlie Rose talking with David Brooks (a writer at The New York Times), and David Brooks passed along lies and ignorant thought, though speaking somewhat better than Reverend Jim Holley had earlier in the day.
Well, something good showed up on Detroit television since I published the previous edition of T.H.A.T.. On Thurdsay, December 15, 2011, at 9:00 a.m., Antenna TV (which is carried by Channel 38.2 (one of four channels of the Channel 38 WADL-TV group)) began running a movie that was made in the 1950s, and the movie was called Rock Around the Clock. Actually, the movie could be called a "B" quality movie; some of the acting was weak, for example. The movie focused on Bill Haley & the Comets, and how a band promoter--called Steve--discovered the band playing in a small town on a Saturday night and decided to make the band known from coast to coast. What was good is that it was the first time that I saw and heard Bill Haley talking, and although he was one of the early rockers--in the day and age when rock and roll was taking off, he did not come off like so many so-called musical performers of today, who sound and act like thugs and idiots and creeps, which is commonplace for the rappers. By the way, at this time, the best full-power television station in Detroit is Channel 38 (especially Channel 38.1 and Channel 38.2), a statement that is based on what that station plays, many programs that are likable.
Advertisement: In March 2009, a book called Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, which had been written by Mark R. Levin, was published. Through the book, Mark R. Levin talks about how tyranny has been creeping into the country, and he also talks about how the country has been changing from a representative republic, which has a constitution as a basis, to something, yet to be defined, and although Mark R. Levin says that it is the statist who is causing the change, especially those who are a part of the Democratic Party and in government jobs, I say that it is communists, socialists, would-be dictators, and Marxists, such as Barack Obama, who are making the changes, such as by discarding The U.S. Constitution. I urge you to see and read Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, and pass it on to others, especially teenagers and young adults (and consider listening to The Mark Levin Show, the nationally syndicated radio show, on a regular basis).
On Monday, December 12, 2011, WTVS-HD, Channel 56.1, showed once again a locally produced show called Detroit Remember When, which was produced in 1995 (actually, the channel showed it twice in the evening, and I caught one of the showings). The program was, in essence, a review of what Detroit was and had in much of the 1900s, mostly before the 1970s. I can say, today, that It showed off much of what has been lost in Detroit because of the prominent culture that has taken over as the heart of the city since the 1970s, and what is interesting is a woman who was talking about the once-popular Vanity Ballroom (of Detroit) had the belief the old Vanity Ballroom could be restored, and that was her dream of around 1995. And so go dreams and hopes in a dead culture and a dead city.
Here is a television review. On Monday, December 12, 2011, Brian Williams introduced Chelsea Clinton as a new contributor to Rock Center with Brian Williams (a weekly program shown on NBC-TV). I saw Brian Willilams doing an interview with Chelsea Clinton, and little Clelsea was dull and lifeless, and she looked homely, and her speech pattern sounded rehearsed or her answers sounded a little too practiced and sounded as if they were read. NBC-TV offered up yet another ugly woman to viewers--and most of the ugliness is in the mind.
Announcement for the novice again: To get useful television-delivered news or Internet-delivered news, go to Fox News Channel, WorldNetDaily.com, "The Drudge Report," and CNS News (which is on the Internet and which was launched on June 16, 1998), since the entities do not blindly support Barack Obama, as do CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV (to learn about bad journalism, you might tune in to CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV from time to time to see how they differ from the Fox News Channel and those mentioned with it in presenting political stories and events, and you should discover CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV avoid covering things that make Barack Obama look bad or show his true nature, which could harm you). If you are unclear of my intentions, I say in different words that you should boycott CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV and hope they lose more ratings and advertising revenues, since they are expendable, and it is time for you to find the guts to be mean and heartless and cancel them--since they are hurting you.
So, did your favorite television newscaster--maybe some big-breasted blonde with a shallow persona--cover this story, which finally became big news around December 11, 2011? For several decades, media people who are global-warming advocates have pushed the idea that, as man uses carbon-based fuels, man is causing the temperatures to rise, which will cause more violent storms and hurricanes to show up in, for example, the Atlantic Ocean, and it has been commonplace for media people to push in stories predictions of about how many hurricanes could come in the months to come. On December 7, 2011, two prominent reseachers, who are tied to trying to predict hurricanes, publicly announced that all the work that people have done over the last twenty years in relation to making predictions around December for the upcoming hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean has been useless, and they are no longer going to issue predictions in December for the upcoming summer (and that should make you wonder how people can make useful predictions about what the climate will be like in five years or ten years).
Okay, let us look at another blonde (of sorts) on television--Paula Zahn. On January 3, 2012, the Detroit Free Press published a story entitled "1. Attempted blackmailer lands new job." ("1. Attempted blackmailer lands new job." Detroit Free Press, 3 January 2012, p. 2D). The story noted that Joe Halderman, who had pleaded guilty in a case in which he was charged with trying to blackmail David Letterman, was hired to be a producer on On the Case with Paula Zahn for the network known as Investgation Discovery. In other words, another defective man--a publicly disgraced man--gets to work in the media and push so-called useful "news" on the American public. And Paula Zahn seems to support that idea, so that shows you the value of Paula Zahn.
I say that it is hard these days to find pleasant and nice women on television in new half-hour shows--truly pleasant and nice women. For example, the host of the syndicated Excused (a dating show)--Iliza Shlesinger--is unlikable and crass, and Whitney Cummings of Whitney (a show the runs on NBC-TV) is unlikable, and Amy Poehler of Parks and Recreation (a show on NBC-TV) is unlikable, and so many young women pushed on viewers are irritating or jerky or bitchy. Recently, I have been regularly tuning into--at 11:00 p.m. on weekdays--TCT Family (one of the four heavily religious based networks of the TCT group), which is broadcast on Channel 18.3 in Detroit, to watch The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (a sitcom from the 1950s and 1960s), and I have have come to remember Harriet Nelson is quite a pleasant and nice woman. If you want to learn what pleasantness and niceness are on television, study Harriet Nelson of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. (Oh, by the way, a really unpleasant woman was recently on the set of iCarly to shoot an episode as a guest star--Michelle Obama--and if you study Michelle Obama and Harriet Nelson, you will come to learn how unpleasant Michelle Obama really is.)
Public Service Announcement: If you wish to avoid giving a donation to nonprofit groups that support "manmade global warming" legislation or "manmade climate-change" legislation, such as the very bad American Clean Energy and Security Act (which is also known as the Waxman-Markey Bill), give to something better--particularly the Heritage Foundation and the Landmark Legal Foundation, which are organizations that support The U.S. Constitution and are working to defeat Barack Obama's plans to take over the country. (You should see my document entitled "CAP AND TRADE" and Carbon Dioxide Facts and Nonsense, which can be reached through this link: Carbon.)
So, did your favorite television newscasters tell you about the stories in this section, which show the Democratic Party is really a communist and corrupt political party and is promoting "enslavism" for the country, which involves having, in essence, a lawless society, where laws can be changed on a whim to suit bad politicians? The mayor of New Haven, Connecticut, in the week of Monday, December 12, 2011, was John DeStefano (a Democrat), and he was going to go to the state legislature with a proposal to let illegal aliens vote in local elections in New Haven, or I say that, in essence, he was working to get people who are non-citizens of the country and are violating federal laws the ability to vote in local elections, and even to propose such an idea shows how the Democratic Party is working to destroy the United States of America and make it a country based on tyranny (Bailey, Melissa. "DeStefano Envisions A New Voting Frontier." New Haven Independent, 14 December 2011, 6:44 p.m.; Gulino, Lou. "New Haven, Conn., mayor wants to let illegal immigrants vote in local elections." syracuse.com, 15 December 2011, 8:00 p.m. (updated 8:15 p.m.)). Analysis of Mayor DeStefano's plan shows that John DeStefano is proposing that anyone in the world could go to New Haven and become a resident and then vote, and it would be another case that would help the Democrats--communists and such--work toward corrupting the national election process, based on a precedent set, and that is bad for the country. By the way, the U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder (another Democrat) is working to block states from having voter photo-I.D.cards, which would help block some corrupt practicies from taking place in elections (The Editors. "Voter ID Is Not Jim Crow." National Review Online, 16 December 2011, 4:00 a.m.; Kouri, Jim (Law Enforcement Examiner). "Holder plotting with ACORN-connected group to spot "Voter-ID Laws." Examiner.com, 15 December 2011; Walsh, Michael A. "Behind Holder's war on voter-ID laws." New York Post, 14 December 2011, 10:05 p.m. (updated: 15 December 2011, 12:37 a.m.). Also during the week of Monday, December 12, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who runs the U.S. Department of Justice (under the ultimate guidance of Barack Obama, a communist and radical), was continuing the attack on a county sheriff in Arizona--Maricapo County Sheriff Joe Arpaio--for, in essence, trying to uphold immigration policy of the United States of America, and also working to attack County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was Janet Napolitano (yet another Democrat)--the head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security--who blocked Joe Arpaio's department from using federal databases to check the immigration status of persons who end up in the custody of his department, and the attacks were being pushed along against Joe Arpaio by using racism and civil-rights violations related to Latinos as attack themes (The Associated Press. "Feds Say Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio Violated Civil Rights." FOXNews.com, 15 December 2011; Lacey, Marc, and Salvador Rodriguez. "U.S. Finds Pervasive Bias Against Latinos by Arizona Sheriff." The New York Times, 15 December 2011). Although just because most of the illegals that County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's department has to deal are Latino-types, the federal government--the Barack Obama administration--is working to push the idea of racism strongly, such as in court if it can. (Remember: Most of the illegals entering Arizona are coming from Mexico.) Yes, if your favorite television newscaster did not cover these stories, then you know your favorite television newscaster is crap and could actually be a part of the communist party or is sympethic to the communist party.
A reminder (updated): Remember to tell your children and grandchildren that they should never pledge to be a "servant to Obama" or a servant to any president, which was a topic in T.H.A.T. #58, and remember to tell them to not blindly "believe" in leaders, and that is a lesson in this edition of T.H.A.T., as it was in the past and will be in the future. By the way, remember, in the "Presidential Video," which is one topic of T.H.A.T. #58, one male says, "I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama."; one female says, "I pledge to be a servant to our president." And make sure your children and grandchildren are not singing songs at school that praise Barack Obama, which has been done by children at some schools around the country since January 2009, since children should never sing songs that praise any politician, especially a megalomaniac and narcissist like Barack Obama.
As I have already noted, I have seen a lot of bad television programs recently, and, here, I continue to show more of it. First, in very late December 2011, I regularly tuned into The Cool TV Network (which was talked about in the previous edition of T.H.A.T.) to see the "A to Z" countdown, and I saw mostly bad music videos--visually ugly and musically ugly, being often violent or depressing--and it amazed me how bad the overall feel of the network was and is (it made me think of how people like "Rosie" (of CKLW-AM of the 1970s and early 1980s) and me would never have scheduled most of the songs for air play and made me think that the music industry is really crappy today, and it made me think payola could be worse than ever in history and made me think no one has the guts to say that crappy songs are crappy and not play them). Second, on January 2, 2012, ABC-TV played the first episode of Celebrity Wife Swap in prime time, and it was bad television--Why would I want to watch celebrities becoming involved in switching families for a week, especially when the celebrities are like Gary Busey?
Oh, I finally caught an episode of Hollyscoop, which is an entertainment news-type program that WMYD-HD, Channel 20.1, is carrying on Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. It is a nationally syndicated program with two hosts, and it is basically an endless parade of very short bits and clips. One host is Diana Madison (who is also an executive producr of the series), and she comes off as a spunky teenager or cheerleader, and the other host is Brian Corsetti, who comes off as another twentysomething jerky guy on television. On the program that I saw, the reporters listed were Lindsay Caldwell, Isabella Depierro, and Violet Kanian. Really, it is just another entertainment news-type program, which, when it disappears, will probably not be remembered.
Remember: The Prisoner with Patrick McGoohan was a television show that was produced across the pond and shown on CBS-TV in the late 1960s, and I urge you to find The Prisoner on DVD, maybe from a library, and watch it, and you should show it--all the episodes--to teenagers, or buy it as a present for teenagers.
Stay well!

P.S. #1: The telephone number of the U.S. Congressional Switchboard is: 1-202-224-3121. (Use it to fight against the creation of a national-health-care system, especially a system pushed through law by a defective thinker, a man who has created nothing, and a man whose history is mostly filled with tearing things down, a man who continually puts down the U.S.A.--Barack Obama. By the way, one of the more recent events in which he put down the entire business community of the country took place on Wednesday May 13, 2009, and you should see the second entry for Wednesday, May 13, 2009, in the document entitled Nonsense Statements and Quotations of Barack Obama).
P.S. #2: Do not forget that, since late 2008, I have put within editions of Michigan Travel Tips information about "green technology," "global warming" stuff, and "climate change" stuff, and to get to the catalog for all the Michigan Travel Tips publications, use this link: Travel.
