Beware of Laura Kelsey and her idiotic Prostate Cancer Articles.


---------------------------------------------

I am just besides myself over the idiocy this person has started spewing on the internet about prostate cancer. Did you know that if you have prostate cancer you can take a vaccine and be cured? Yeah, me neither, but Laura Kelsey knows. Kelsey is not giving out the name of the vaccine, but hey, that's just a technicality, right?

Of course I will listen to anybody that wants to defend Kelsey's position. My fear is that it is either a sick joke or someone trying to cobble together prostate cancer articles so they can make money on the internet based on hits.

Here is the link to Kelsey's "profile", feel free to read the prostate articles, they seem to pop out at the rate of one every day or two, some information is common knowledge, and then there is the don't worry if you have prostate cancer because it is curable crap that is being spewed out as well.

I am personally offended as I witnessed my father's 10 year battle with prostate cancer that ended with his death earlier this year. On the one hand, I was lucky to have him around so much longer after the diagnosis, on the other it was a form of slow motion agony to watch and not be able to really help stop the cancer.

I have a rule about not calling out non-celebs on a title post, but I have broken it just for you, Laura Kelsey.

27% Say Hillary Would Be Better President Than Obama

27% Say Hillary Clinton Would Be Better President Than Obama. Click here to read rest of Rasmussen Report Article.

The headline could also have said, "76% think Hillary Clinton would either do an equal or better job than Barack Obama". Since I have shared the story from elsewhere, I will leave the headline as they wrote it.

Here are the first two paragraphs of the article....."Just 14% of U.S. voters say Hillary Clinton would be doing a worse job as president than Barack Obama if she had won last year’s Democratic presidential nomination.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 27% of voters think Clinton would be doing a better job as president while 49% say she would be performing about the same."

---------------------------

What I find interesting as well is the Rassumussen Report also finds that Republicans believe that Hillary Clinton would have done a better job than Barack Obama. I implored rich Hillary Clinton supporters to fund this exact kind of survey LAST YEAR when it would have mattered.

My Desperate Plea to all Bloggers, PLEASE do not do what this blogger did.

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
The above article is not a puma article. This is just advice in general for all bloggers. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do not ask "where's the anger?", yet not allow any way for readers to leave a comment!  Most of you know already know this. I just find this type of title completely contradictory.

Thankfully, this writer at least left a contact email address. Asking "where is the anger" while not allowing people to respond, is pretty much a self fulfilling prophecy and an unintentionally preposterous supposition.

I wonder if the AP will ever allow comments in response to articles written by their own reporters. 

I probably should not have made the title so dramatic sounding as many people probably won't appreciate the frustration it brings out in me when I see a source that makes a plea but doesn't allow public interaction.

To PUMA Bloggers, please comment here if you think your new blog articles take longer than 30 minutes to update on Daily PUMA.

Daily PUMA does not directly control when your articles update. Sometimes DailyPUMA can delete and then re add a blog and the blog will update, but it is not a sure thing that that will work.

There are a few blogs that don't seem to update as quickly as other blogs. Maybe we can figure out if it is the same blog service that is having the delay by getting a tally on which blogs don't update relatively quickly.

If you feel your blog is not updating quickly enough on DailyPUMA, please leave a comment along with the name of your blog and how long you think it takes for the updating to actually occur.

Thanks!
