Ray's Thought for the Day - Nasty News
The preceeding Potential Safety Topic reminds me, Ray of some muckraking journalism one of the local TV stations felt obliged to share with the viewing public a few years back. The muckrakers got hold of some video equipment that could make dried human and proto human body fluids, all of them (dried body fluids), glow in the dark, phosphorescent like. So what did they do with this technology, Ray? Well, they went to recently cleaned motel rooms, turned off the lights and used the equipment to find all the human and proto human body fluids lurking on the bedspreads, bathroom fixtures, curtains, towels, carpets and furniture.
This muckraking was supposed to be an expository series on nastiness in the tourist court industry of those days, but only aired once, or twice maybe. Almost everyone who saw this news item was offended and thought "This is more than I wanted to know." and that's perhaps why the plug was prematurely pulled. Or more likely, the Austin Chamber of Commerce intervened directly and forcefully.
Journalism in general has plummeted from the above described heights to the current altitude of a snake's belly in a wagon rut as exemplified particularly by Judy Miller and Bob Woodward. At least Judy had the decency to go to jail for awhile to partially atone for her wickedness, but all Woodward did was ask forgiveness. Well, Bob, think wicker basket. You don't rate Wicker Man.
At the least, don't buy this liar's books or even book's written about this liar. He is a servant of the Beast.
