Virginian Pilot Brings Fecal Matter Into Your Home

No, No, no, not the written content which most people agree deserves the appellation of mental compost for midgets. I’m talking about the actual physical paper product you touch with your hands.

Now, I’m no more squeamish than the next guy, but I was reminded of the the deadly hazards that can be found in paper when I picked this morning’s paper up in my gloved hands and noticed this headline:

“Researchers: AP’s Sludge Story Sloppy, Unfair”

As is typically the case with stories found in the Virginian Pilot, this one was not written by one of the few writers left on their dwindling staff, but is a re-print of this story “Johns Hopkins criticizes AP story, says treated sludge in Baltimore lead experiment not risky” from the AP which I found in the Minneapolis Star Tribune site.

I was unable to locate the story in the PilotOnline.com so no link is provided. I was only able to locate it in the dead tree version.

The short version is this: researchers at Johns Hopkins wanted to reduce the level of lead that children were exposed to by adding compost to the high-lead dirt found in certain neighborhoods. The researchers used a commercial product you could buy at Home Depot to fertilize your lawn. The AP decided to make this appear to be a case of racists poisoning poor black people. The yards used in this experiment happened to be in a black neighborhood and the AP found one academic who questioned whether the product had been tested for every possible known as well as every unknown hazard.

Which brings me back to the fecal matter in the Virginian Pilot.

So let this be a lesson to you, kids. Not only are the writers and editors of the Virginian Pilot full of poop, (a physical certainty) and not only is what they write full of poop, but the very paper it’s printed on is full of poop.

And now you know how the Batten family became billionaires: selling poop.

Oceans and rivers have the same problem, fish poop. In addition, fish have sex in the oceans and rivers. OH the HUMANITY!!!!

I worked in meteorology all of my life, and the biggest problem with thermometers was tuna in the mercury.

The enviro-nuts tell us these should be replaced with compact florescent bulbs that contain mercury and require special disposal procedures.

...and the tuna doesn't taste as good since they removed the dolphin.

Radiation or poison - take your pick.

But had you ever considered that the shit shoveled by the MSM comes in three forms: the stuff they print, the stuff they print it on and what's in them when they write?

I like that, mind if I steal it?

I think they really want us to cower in the dark. We can't burn candles, that emits C02, CO, smoke, soot. Oil lamps....don't even think about it.
