Freep the S.F. Chronicle

There is a great alternative to the leftist leaning S.F. Comicle, I mean Chronicle. This rag is so polluted, I won't even use it for my bird cage for fearing of endangering my bird. However, there is a new site that critiques the Chronicle everyday, and they need writers, researchers, and computer savvy folks to help them get the site running. Go check them out at www.chronwatch.com And if you're interested in helping contact Tom at: TCSparkman@aol.com

This is the best site in the San Francisco bay area. Check it out and contact Tom at: TCSparkman@aol.com

Not a bad site -- will bookmark for future visits.

Liberal as the SF Chronic is, it's downright professional compared to that South Bay rag, the San Jose Murky News.

chronwatch...what a bunch of wimps!

They post the "silliest liberal letter" for Aug 5 which is this:

Editor -- Many of us have been emotionally wrenched by news accounts of the horrible abductions and murders of children and of sexual abuse of children by priests. But no one is stating the obvious: These hideous crimes are being committed by men.

We need to be asking what has gone so wrong in the rearing of males in this society? Those who might be able to tell us, do not.

I am disappointed by the silence of decent men who are not taking this on as a men's problem. They have much to contribute to solving this human tragedy.

Associate professor

they should post her email, which is cdelaney@stanford.edu

this is just some man hating, God hating dirtbag

Just take a look at how she swipes at men and the bible with her book: Click it!! Delaney critically examines evidence from Jewish, Christian, and Muslim interpretations, from archaeology and Freudian theory, as well as a recent trial in which a father sacrificed his child in obedience to God's voice, and shows how the meaning of Abraham's story is bound up with a specific notion of fatherhood. The preeminence of the father (which is part of the meaning of the name Abraham) comes from the still operative theory of procreation in which men transmit life by means of their "seed," an image that encapsulates the generative, creative power that symbolically allies men with God. The communities of faith argue interminably about who is the true seed of Abraham, who can claim the patrimony, but until now, no one has asked what is this seed.">Delaney critically examines evidence from Jewish, Christian, and Muslim interpretations, from archaeology and Freudian theory, as well as a recent trial in which a father sacrificed his child in obedience to God's voice, and shows how the meaning of Abraham's story is bound up with a specific notion of fatherhood.

Anyway heres my little missive in response to her letter:

yes. an American tragedy. Misogynist newspapers and media who refuse to acknowledge the fact that men are committing heinous crimes against children.

You have discovered anthropological gold...no PLATINUM!!! Why won't the press acknowledge that the men who they name and display pictures of concede to the fact that they are men!??!?

What is wrong with stanfUrd professors that they cannot tell males from females even when faced with a picture and a name? I guess you and Hillary need to keep the unwashed masses aware of things, like MEN- BAD and FOOD-GOOD.

freep this turd!

Gotta bump that. The small-time NYT wannabe Mercury News has made as its mission to drive as big a wedge as it possibly can between the people of the south bay area under the guise of 'celebrating diversity'.

Its front page fare EVERY stinkin' day.

Is this ChronWatch.com? I love it, when I remember to check it out.

[thunderdome]

THANKS!!! I still cherish the days when we stood in the doorway to the ChronSickle with the megaphone and were called fascists.

I will check this site out and find some contributors.
