The infamous Sam Antar joins Occupy Wall Street
September 28, 2011
On his way to visit his son who works nearby, former Crazy Eddie’s fraudster Sam Antar stopped by and visited the protesters at Occupy Wall Street.
“It was a refreshing experience to see peaceful protests and people exercising their freedom of speech. The cops were OK with it, too,” said Antar.

Boycott Michael Moore (or, don’t punish Georgians)
September 23, 2011
Political activist and filmmaker Michael Moore is calling for a boycott of Georgia following the execution of Troy Davis:
“I encourage everyone I know to never travel to Georgia, never buy anything made in Georgia, to never do business in Georgia. I will ask my publisher to pull my book from every Georgia bookstore. And if they won’t do that, I will donate every dime of every royalty my book makes in Georgia to help defeat the racists and killers who run that state. I ask all Americans with a conscience to shun anything and everything to do with the murderous state of Georgia.”
This logic should apply to himself, as well. You see, Moore’s publisher is Grand Central Publishing, which is under the umbrella of Hachette Book Groups, which is owned by Lagardère Group, which owns a 7.5% share of stock in EADS:
The European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company N.V. (EADS) is a global pan-European aerospace and defence corporation and a leading defence and military contractor worldwide.
The military industrial complex slaughters untold numbers of innocents. Thus, it is only logical that liberals should and must boycott Michael Moore. Or, we can just not punish the people of Georgia for the actions of their judicial system and find another way to protest their execution of Davis.

The “Obama’s (Noun) Problem” Technique
September 21, 2011
Often, young journalists come to me asking what type of story they can write about President Barack Obama. Almost without fail, I tell them to use the “Obama’s (Noun) Problem” technique. With this, all one needs to do is find a suitable noun, make it Obama’s problem, and then fit the story around it.
Some examples:
- President Obama’s White Problem
- Obama’s Black Problem
- Obama’s Latino Problem
- Obama’s Women Problem
- Obama’s Jewish Problem
- Obama’s Catholic Problem
- Obama’s Military Problem
- Obama’s Anti-Military Problem
- Obama’s Democrat Problem
- Obama’s Republican Problem
- Obama’s Independent Problem
These are just a few examples, but there are many more out there. Remember, there are A LOT of nouns out there. So think outside the box with subjects like:
- Obama’s Wolverine Problem
- Obama’s Fly* Problem
- Obama’s Smurf Problem
- Obama’s Mac & Cheese Problem
- Obama’s Nickleback Problem
- Obama’s Bridge Troll Problem
- Obama’s Adorable Puppy Problem
Come up with your own, the noun can be virtually anything, as you will most certainly find some poll somewhere that you can get to agree with the storyline. The “Obama’s (Noun) Problem” Technique - It’s not only fun, but it will also help you to solve the dreaded “Journalist Deadline Problem.”
