Misleading Florence headlines suggest ‘MYRTLE BEACH COULD GET CUT OFF’
Myrtle Beach area residents checking the weather Saturday morning were led to believe that local emergency personnel had suspended services due to Tropical Storm Florence, but that was never the case.
The front page headline on The Weather Channel’s website, weather.com, read “MYRTLE BEACH COULD GET CUT OFF: Over 100k Without Power, Landslides Possible.”
The story, which is no longer the top story on the site, falsely states the Myrtle Beach authorities announced they were done responding to emergency calls until conditions improved.
I saw the original headline on Drudge when I was checking for storm news, and thought "whoa! that sounds a lot worse than what everybody else is saying!".
So, there's no political bias here, for once, but truly staggering incompetence. No wonder people don't trust the media.
And, btw, the whole Waccamaw Neck and all of both Horry & Georgetown counties (to a first approximation) is completely flat. There is no place for landslides.
At the Cold pastry cafe, many highly sweet foods are actually low on the GI, but are nevertheless not great for you and your liver.
You want pastry?
Go to Hellas in Tarpon Springs!
Didn't the weather channel just get caught with fake news. Some reporter was pretending to be in peril from strong winds and right behind him two guys went strolling by.
I think the weather channel started the naming of winter storm bullshit.
I love the video clip going around of the Weather Channel yahoo bracing against "the wind" as two people stroll unaffected behind him.
Florence is a devastating storm I'm sure for eastern NC -- places that the Press can't yet get to. But the "Please Click here For God's Sake" aspect of reporting is too much to bear. And when the extent of damage is known, it'll be too late because of the news saturation.
It's necessary that I say that I never used Round-Up against the enemies of the Front Lawn, especially creeping-charley which Round-Up is very good at eliminating. I had a dream.

Has the GOP seen enough yet? Watched the Commie-Pinko libs destroy the SCOTUS nomination process?
OK Mitch, time to play real dirty. Change the senate rules for the next nominee. Each judiciary member gets to ask 3 questions, in writing. Written answers will be provided within two weeks. No TV. Then the committee vote. Then the full senate vote.
"bring the warmth"
Even when you feel cold fury against the Fording by prog smear artists?
Some reporter was pretending to be in peril from strong winds and right behind him two guys went strolling by.
Yes that wind was more than he could handle. Plus, of course, other TV stations were in on the scam.
Then we have Anderson Cooper, pretending to be in deep water.
Is committee vote necessary before floor vote? Is it more than posturing? Any actual relevance to outcome?
Well, I finished Fear. Woodward represents Trump's views well. He almost seems sympathetic. I think the main problem is Trump's 10 years too old and 20 years too late.
Oh, and he's a fucking liar who shouldn't talk to Mueller. Sure perjury trap!
But he sounds like a helluva guy anyway.
wild chicken,
I would call Trump a serial boaster and a salesman.
Tomato. Toe-mah-toe.
Potato. Spud.
I'd also say he's delivering what he promised in a timely fashion. That is more than I could truthfully write about most politicians.
Birkel I agree. I just don't think Woodword's approach is so terrible, though I haven't seen any of his interviews. He doesn't point and sputter, and doesn't seem to buy the collusion case. There isn't one. He lets the players do the talking.
The book is hilarious in parts. Would be a great movie! Now, who to play Trump? Hmmm
wild chicken,
Sorry if it seemed like I was disagreeing. I'm not ever going to spoil for a fight with wild chicken.
….
I tried really hard to work spoiled chicken into that comment. I wanted to make a joke about eating spoiled chicken but I couldn't get there.

Now, who to play Trump? Hmmm
Trump, of course, but after 2025.
Oh, and he's a fucking liar who shouldn't talk to Mueller. Sure perjury trap!
You mean like "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor ?"
Few people realize how the country has been run by liars since Eisenhower.
I just tried to post a very meaningful comment about my experiences living through Florence here in NC, but the blogger system lost it. I'm not going to rewrite it. Sorry that you all are deprived of my insights.
You mean like: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."
Diane Feinstein, by choosing the precise moment when Kavanaugh is unable to fight back, is holding him down and not allowing him to be heard.
The accuser's story has a significant problem, in that the claim from therapy dates from 2012. Late-recovered memories are unreliable, and things that you did not report to a therapist during your training to be a psychologist should be viewed with grave suspicion. Especially when you first remembered it just as Kavanaugh might have been a Romney nominee to the SC.
Perhaps not related to whether she is telling the truth here, but tending (note: tending) to undermine her overall veracity, is the attribution of ongoing anxiety and trauma to a single brief incident. People are different, and this is not impossible. However, PTSD and/or anxiety disorders are more often the result of ongoing abuse that the victim cannot escape from. We generally have the ability to move on from even horrific one-off events.
Bottom line: Never try to rape a girl in a one piece bathing suit.
Cold and individually wrapped.
"i remember I was wearing a bikini when he started to rape me I was lucky though, to get out in one-piece"
Humperdink: "Has the GOP seen enough yet? Watched the Commie-Pinko libs destroy the SCOTUS nomination process?"
Are you kidding?
LLR Chuck's beloved pro-dem NeverTrumper "True Conservatives", like Flake, are already sending signals they will line up with their natural allies, the dems, on Kavanaugh.
Unexpectedly.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Never really understood why. In any case, I liked my pastry toasted and warm.
Nothing better than a nice warm, high quality croissant in the AM
"one piece bathing suit."
Did those even exist in the 1980s.
I don't remember one, and I was dedicated Bikini watcher when young.
"Are you kidding?"
Lost my head there.
"The accuser's story has a significant problem,"
Yeah, it has a "significant problem" alright.
She can't remember when or where the so-called rape/attempted murder happened.
Other than "it was summer" and it was at "Someone's house".
No wonder there was no police report.

Getting back to pastries, there is an endangered Wisconsin pasty called the Bismarck. I have fond memories of them as a teen, when I delivered the Wisconsin State Journal every morning before school. They were always best warm, especially on freezing cold mornings. I hope that dear, sweet old German lady went to heaven. I wrote about them here.
I look for Bismarcks every time I'm back. Last time I looked, you could still get them at Scott's Pastries in Middleton, and at Copp's on the East Side. I'll be looking for them again when I visit next year.
I had a raspberry Bismarck this morning.
Granulated sugar topping, of course.
@Darrell: we called those jellied donuts. I’m talking about the chocolate species with white cream filling.
Bismarcks come in many flavors. Ask my German grandmother was was born in the 19th Century.
Custard fillings, yes. Chocolate, no.
Chocolate sinks the Bismarck?
Yes those look great, what's wrong with chocolate, custard is fine as well?
Humperdink said...
Has the GOP seen enough yet? Watched the Commie-Pinko libs destroy the SCOTUS nomination process?
Republican voters have seen enbough. Yes.
Uniparty traitors like Jeff Flake?
Not so much.
I would actually like Mitch to schedule a public hearing with this woman under oath in front of the senate answering questions.
I would also like a subpoena for all communications between this woman and the Feinstein staff over the last few months.
Chocolate is not traditional, for a Bismarck. What do we have if we don't have tradition? Besides from chocolate cakes, I don't remember very much chocolate being used in German baking. At least at our social level.
Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy
A Santa Monica doctor who touted a controversial menopause therapy on the Oprah Winfrey Network and received testimonials for her work from such celebrity patients as model Cindy Crawford and actress-author Suzanne Somers has been disciplined by California’s medical board for gross negligence.
In a settlement approved late last month, the Medical Board of California put Dr. Prudence Hall on probation for four years, faulting her for being “unaware” of potential risks posed by the plant-based hormones — including cancer — and failing to monitor her patients properly.
Hall used numerous hormones to treat two women, according to the board, missing an aggressive uterine cancer in one patient and treating the other based on an “incorrect diagnosis in a manner such that [Hall] stood to gain financially.”

They've been married for 20 years.

The homeopathy crowd are pure evil:
The state of Kerala has been facing one issue after the other over the past few months. It started with the Nipah Virus that hit the state in the month of May followed by the devastating rains and floods in the month of August and just when the state was on the road to recovery, rat fever has emerged as another threat.
Even as medical teams and doctors across the state have been working overtime to control the spread of the disease, there were people on the other side who were trying to spread misinformation and create confusion among the people. They spread false rumours about the usage of Doxycycline, a medicine prescribed the Indian Medical Association (IMA) to arrest the rampant outbreak of rat fever.
Most of the people spreading false information like these were found to be those practicing alternative medicine like homeopathy.
tim in Vermont could not be reached for comment, thank goodness.
Ford's tale sounds like someone saw the Rolling Stone piece and decided to go one better. But they at least learned to limit the verifiable parts. We don't know when where or even who else might corroborate the story independently. It is completely impossible unless she recovers more memories.

Should Brett Kavanaugh eventually land on the Sooopreme Court, I am certain he will look kindly on lefty causes/arguments. He will not let this keelhauling by the libs impact his decision making. Of course not.
Katz now says there was another girl at the party.
How can they know that if they don't remember when or where the party happened?
Katz, “CBF saw nominee being rushed through and documents withheld.”
Letter sent July 30.
CBF always wanted her name to be kept confidential; media outed her. No surprise here.
CBF thinks process is politicized. Duh! Spartacus.
Katz is spinning this as if CBF always thought her name would be kept out of this. I doubt it. See, Anita Hill.
CBF willing to testify to Senate. Giant mistake. Her story will be torn to shreds.
Katz is the new Avanatti; two publicity whores acting as political operatives and not lawyers. Katz wants this circus.
She either testifies tomorrow or needs to give us information we can act on.
Is Pelosi going to draft articles of impeachment against Kavanaugh?
Or is sexual assault as a teenager ok for a federal appeals court judge but not a Supreme Court Judge?
All of Kavanaugh’s never trump supporters now understand Trump’s tactics.

"You've wasted too much of our time."
Your time isn't worth very much:
"Pharmacist Graham MacKenzie is putting a stop to the sale of all homeopathic products in the store he has owned since 2001.
Stone’s Drug Store has already taken the products off shelves, a decision MacKenzie made based on what he said is a lack of clinical research supporting their effectiveness."
I'm sure someone will let me know when you're dead. I'll rejoice appropriately - with a visit to the toilet.
I took a shit for this guy's death - a big one, too:
Queen's homeopathic doctor dies in collision with lorry while cycling in London
I have to chuckle (Chuckle???) at the seriousness of the libs going after Kavanaugh. Ted Kennedy was elected numerous times and later lionized upon his demise. And all he did was drown some chick.
And all he did was drown some chick and her unborn child. IIRC
You should really find out whoever actually said that Crack. I have never given homeopathy a second thought, it doesn't seem like it would work and I am not invested in the idea that morons should live forever so it's not my concern.
Gee, you'd think someone would step-in and stop that, wouldn't you?
Thanks. I needed to order some more.
My mother has been into homeopathic medicine for a while. Now she wants us to start taking some supplement to "resolve gut health" and "heal the brain". How do I get her to understand that it's a scam?
Don't bother. That's the advice around here.
Boy, there sure are a lot of articles about something so unimportant:

Dear Darrell:
Thank you for inspiring me to look into the history of chocolate in European history and traditions, especially among the Dutch, German, and Swiss peoples. I can now say that you are full of shit on this.
Sincerely,
Chickelit.
Dear Chickelit,
Fuck you. Learn to read.
See this? "At least at our social level." I am talking about my German relatives in America--most of whom immigrated around 1830. They were always baking and some went on to open bakeries here in the US. For the home bakers, the only chocolate they used went into chocolate cakes and frostings. What foo-foo bakeries in Europe did is another matter. Your pal Hitler may have liked his chocolate Bismarck and other atrocities, but I don't have to follow suit.
@Darrell: So what makes you an expert of German-American people, especially in Wisconsin? I made a series of easily verified factual statements which you proceeded to dismiss as not being in accord with your experience(s). Besides, my German relatives immigrated here in the 1751 -- first to PA and then to Wisconsin in the 1850's. You are a couple generations closer to being pals with Hitler.
What part of 1830s Germany is Switzerland again? Or Holland? And did you not say a raspberry filled Bismarck is not a Bismarck? Is that the verifiable part?
