LPR
Answers NewsMax.Com …
The
question from NewsMax, April 21, was: "Should criminal aliens
be deported or released? LPR believes they should be sent to the space
station for transfer to the planet of origin.

An
LPR Media Suggestion ...
Let's
take a speech by President Bush and a speech by Speaker
Pelosi and give it to ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, MSNBC,
CNN -- tell these media outlets to edit to ten minutes
(including anchor bridging) and see what happens.

Not
a Stock Symbol ...
|
Once
again LPR posts a photo of Time
Warner Center, which, rising high
above Columbus Circle in Manhattan,
does NOT symbolize the performance
of Time Warner stock--
on a slow decline these weeks of glittering Dow-Jones performance. (Full
disclosure: this writer holds Time
Warner stock, alas.)

Maybe
It Was a Typo …
Yahoo had a feature, April 21, on
the importance of chemistry for romance.
Curious, LPR checked it out and clicked one
of the accompanying photos -- of Erin,
said to be 25 -- to see what would happen. This led to a profile indicating
that Erin was, in fact, 28.

Personal
Punctuation Pills …
The New York Times had a front page
story April 20 about a pill that could affect
periods in view of the prim and proper image
of the paper also known as the
Gray Lady LPR had no need to read beyond the headline because the story must
have been about a pill that would make it possible for the person to write
without need of periods LPR is interested in this new medical marvel that helps
the reader to decide where thoughts should be divided in the newsprint the
current system imposes word thought organization on the reader LPR applauds
any step that expands the partnership of newspaper and reader which in this
case
might be summed up We give you the words you provide the periods

Objectivity
at Newsweek …
Newsweek
magazine last week offered an assessment of
talk radio hosts.
The assessment was very critical of conservatives. The assessment was provided
by Media Matters, acknowledged by Newsweek as a liberal group.

Former Member of Salon Imus …

Andrea
Mitchell, NBC News, photographed last
fall by LPR outside the United Nations.
Ms. Mitchell was a
media friend of Imus. LPR notes that most of the media friends of Imus
did not exhibit "I am Spartacus" solidarity once the I-man
came under fire and, then, was fired. As of April 16, "media friend" could
refer to someone whose "friendship" knows a great many
bounds.

NOT
Witchcraft ...
Imus
reportedly lost his radio program because advertisers
like Procter and Gamble dropped him. Please
note, what the soap-flakes company did to Imus
was not witchcraft. Just -- arguably -- witch-hunting.

It's
Not Senator Reid Who Matters ...
For
LPR, the issue is not the senate majority leader's
(pessimistic) take on Iraq. The question is:
Does the president have the will to win?
APRIL 24, 2007 --
BTW
...
It
might be useful if President Bush went on television
to remind the country just what the war in
Iraq is all about and, uh, just who is the
enemy.

Immelt-ing …
GE,
which owns NBC, did not participate in the
Dow-Jones upswing to a new record, last week.
LPR would ask GE head Jeffrey Immelt to focus
more on the bottom line and less on the left's
party line.
(Since writing this, LPR noticed a Reuters report, April 25, indicating that
GE head Immelt is frustrated by the performance of the company stock. Isn't the
date of the annual shareholders' meeting coming up?)

Hey
Imus …
LPR

ranch robert frank's" -- referring to the Wall Street Journal's
probe by Robert Frank two years ago, about the way you managed
the ranch as work/play facility for tragically-ill children.

Where
Should We Go?
A wrongly-accused political figure once wondered, after
the matter was dismissed, where he should go to get his reputation
back. LPR wonders where citizens
should go to get approval for their words and thoughts? LPR is unaware of any
criticism of those compiling lists of the members of now-shuttered Imus Political
Salon. But, of course, the compilers
won't have Don Imus to kick around, anymore -- or will they, on-air, or not.

Wants to Know …
Was that "red car" waiting for Gov. Corzine's
vehicle to approach? Rosie O'Donnell, please copy. Was there an
air bag in the governor's vehicle? If so, did it work? If there
was an air bag in the vehicle and it did not work, why not? Does
Imus pass the proximate cause test in this accident?

is VERY Concerned …
… that the death of
singer Don Ho, April 14, is further indication that omens of "You Can't
Make This Up" world will multiply the longer Imus is kept off off MSNBC
and CBS radio. (Sumner Redstone, please copy.)

that baseball is not widely played in Spain, a few of

Just
a thought …
Perhaps
the media might switch from polls of pols running for president in
an election that, politically, is light years away, to asking movie-goers
what they thought of the weekend-opening highest money-making movie.
Blades of Glory topped the money-making movie list
last weekend. LPR was one of this movie's paying customers -- and now realizes
what "ugh" stands for: utterly grossly horrible, Or, to borrow from
the
initials in the title, it is a "bog."

April
Fool's Briefly Noted …
If all was right in our USofA, 29.99% interest rates, $115 parking
fines, health insurance cancellations deriving from a tussle between
Medicare and HMOs would be April Fool's jokes --- along with, among other
things, reports that the major league baseball season began on April
1.
LPR rests its case that April Fool's have declined from prank to reality.
