Does China Have A Space Program?

First of all I know nothing about aviation.  The only thing I can fly is a kite.  Go ahead and laugh so I'm not the cream of the crop the expert journalist who knows about space exploration perhaps even having lived the life of an aviator.  But I do fly kites for fun and yes I am a grown up man who hasn't gone beyond the level of a child to more sophisticated devices or craft.  Many of us haven't.  And so therefore I can take some of you to the   sport mostly children adore not adults so much.  If it is safe then I will fly it and yes Howard Huges was a great  man an aviator and industrialist who I came to admire.  Call me one of his fans.  The time before  last not counting  today the Chinese were recovering from  a long time of being in  the cellar poor and backwards and when in  grammar school the Chinese space program consisted of cartoons mocking the Chinese sitting in a rocking chair with fireworks beneath the chair in their attempt to send a man far far away.  But my teacher stepped in and interceded by not ridiculing the Chinese.  This was in the 1950's when Elvis was the pelvis.  The thing to do for me was to tell my classmates that I was Japanese after all they had some pretty good ships and a navy until they were defeated by America.  From what the expert journalist report on the Chinese Space Program they the Chinese are doing a little bit more than putting firecrackers beneath a rocking chair and sending it off to the moon.  And no I did not get this from my 1973 Funk And Wagner set of encyclopedias.  But the real question is how did the Forty Niners do today against their opponent?  Did you think I would want to  jinx them by watching play?  If they lose today then I will be hurt far less than if I watched it.  It would be nice to see this home town team of mine claim another dynasty  in football like they did in the 80's.  Do I have to wear another paper bag over my head  and see the word dynasty as just another foreign word?

When Diaries of The News Become Journals

Enough of the need for me to define the meaning of what the phrase or title of a blog should or should not be  called when the issue of this blog called Journalism Reports has only just begun…or has it?  Ordinarily attracting attention in my direction is not an everyday desire but only in my fantasy or a far off dream.  Commenting on the news on the air does not appear to be radical or a brand new threat anymore as I am adjusted to this form or format.

Ann Frank succeeded in writing a world famous diary due to the time of history  where she had no choice but to attempt to survive against all odds.   Having read the book The Catcher In The Rye many times over as did Bill Gates I will have to say it does  please me as that this is also what a super rich man had done maybe because we both dropped out of college but this is the only two things we have common.  Let us face the fact that everyone is interested in a good news story whether we admit to it or deny it.  As  many of us know  Holden Caufield was the main character in JD Salinger's fictional book where we see Holden Caufield a loser who drops out of college.  But yes it is fact as I know it one of the richest men in the world has read this book many times over.
Today is Christmas Day.  This blog is not dead as I have  not abandoned it.  How could I forget a day such as this one?  It is understood to me that a man died on a cross a God or Jesus Christ as he is known this isn't about physics but it is a religion.  The news people  cannot ignore this day in as much that at one time the separation between church and state existed.  Too many years have gone by with little attention to the teachings of Jesus but more solid evidence and facts are at my command thanks to the Internet and it is my quest to find out what exactly did Jesus  Christ have to say about himself and the powers he possessed.  Is it not safe or correct in noting that in America Christianity has been fairly ingrained into the social structure of America?   Is it not true that the symbol of Christianity is the cross as is the symbol of Chinese civilization is The Great Wall Of China?  No one famous made this up but                                this is a statement made to describe the symbols of two nations.  Ann Frank was smart and through the power of her written words she still lives her soul is ever present.  But I will be searching for the genius types who can explain away the scriptures.  But simply put the belief in Christianity can justify my belief that the soul within all living beings can never be destroyed and never die.

We must not forget about sports and the symbol  or logo which represents the local football team here in the San Francisco Bay Area?  Didn't they play a game a few days ago?  And the game was good up to the last remaining  minutes?  Has not the question which plagues this West Coast city of San Francisco come up again of whether the local team will see another dynasty?   I'm not watching and I will not jinx them.
