Stupid Blogs Watch

I have run across several blogs in the past few days that are just pathetic. Of course, they are liberal blogs, for the most part.
Blue Cheddar, out of Wisconsin, has been covering the protests in Wisconsin, from the extreme liberal point of view. OK, no problem with that. However, I caught Blue Cheddar in a blatant lie regarding a portion of the rally in Madison. Blue Cheddar is still sticking to the notion that there were no doctors giving out sick excuses from the rallies over the past week, especially Saturday. He/she/it is so adamant, that he/she/it won't allow comments pointing out his/her/it's lies. When I commented on Blue Cheddar, he/she/it removed my comment. How insecure do you have to be to remove comments you don't agree with, especially if the comment is not distasteful. Very classy, Blue Cheddar. And why won't admit you were wrong? Because you are stupid like the strikers in Madison or because you are unethical, like the strikers in Madison?
Another distasteful blog continues to the Desert Beacon. This blog continues to accept comments but refuses to post comments that disagree with he/she/it.
Lately, the Desert Bacon is running posts about teaching and teacher salaries and clerly, he/she/it has no clue what they are talking about.
For instance, he/she/it posts: The top possible salary for a mathematics (or business) teacher in the Clark County School District is $71,560 a salary level which requires a doctorate and at least 14 years experience. In the Washoe County School District the maximum is $70,697 per year, also assuming a doctorate and 21 years of experience. Elko County School District has a special schedule for those teachers who are nationally board certified, but for most teachers the maximum earnings are $71,281 which requires a Master's degree and 48 additional approved credit hours, along with 28 years of experience. These are the maximum salaries, and no matter how many more years a teacher stays in the District any increase in salary is dependent upon a negotiated increase in the base.
What this bozo forgets is this is for a 9 month salary and does extend it to 12 months. He then compares this salary against other fields that have 12 months salary. Kind of brain dead, he/she/it is.
Of course, this brilliant blogger forgets to mention that police and firefighters and most local government employees in Clark County make far more than teachers and they only need a high school diploma in a lot of jobs. Further, this brilliant brain forgets to mention that there are many dealers in the Valley that make far more money than teachers (not to mention dancers, waiters, waitresses and many others in the hospitality industry)
What this bozo also forgets is he just made the case for merit pay for teachers, something he/she/it is against, when he/she/it says that the highest possible salary is the maximum and dependent upon a negotiated increase in the base. If there was merit pay, there would be no maximum salary limit that is imposed by the unions. Apparently, they don't don't think before they write or it is a Freudian slip.
So, when the Desert Bacon, who makes huge mistakes on his/her/it's blog, and it is frequent, and won't allow people to post differing opinions, that is pretty pathetic and he he/she/it must not be very confident in their position.
I guess being weak minded is a trait of these two pathetic bloggers.


ok, for the obligatory post, most liberal blogs are decent blogs and some are very good and run by quality individuals.
