A blog I actually like (578-27)
As many of you who follow my blog know, I usually hate other people’s blogs, but recently I’ve discovered one I quite like.
You all should check out trannyfattyacid.blogspot.com
I’ve been reading this blog for a few weeks now and I’m very impressed with the standard and quality of the material posted there. The author spends a lot of time researching his subjects and checking his facts; more so than most of the newspapers I read daily and you know I read nearly all of ‘em!
What drew me into the TFA blog were his posts about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
I expect there aren’t many people left on the planet who haven’t heard the tale of the little British girl who went missing in Portugal last May. And that’s just about the only fact surrounding this case that anyone can agree on…that this little girl disappeared.
The circumstances of Madeleine’s disappearance, however are entirely another matter and opinions and recollections differ on this wildly.
The Portuguese police believe that little Maddy died in her parents’ holiday apartment that night, while her parents would like us to believe she was kidnapped by a stranger.
I didn’t like the parents from the get-go. I thought their explanations for leaving three very young children alone in their room every night, while they dined were lame and self-serving. I don’t have kids, but if I did, I would never, ever think of leaving them unattended, especially in a hotel room, in a strange country! Back in June, this was my opinion and I couldn’t understand why they hadn’t been charged with willful neglect of their children.
As the summer went on, and they were paraded daily for photo-ops in front of the world’s media, visiting the pope and touring the globe, their holier than thou attitude really started to piss me off. Also, I had been considering the possibility of their involvement, prior to them being named as official suspects in their daughter disappearance.
I debated writing about the case here and had to restrain myself from doing so on several occasions. Its not really appropriate material for my blog and I doubt any of you would disagree.
Instead, I channelled my interest in the case to other online outlets, specifically the Mirror newspaper forums, where up until recently, views and information on the case were freely shared and expressed. They’ve since cracked down on what people post and it is far less free than it was a week ago.
One of my discoveries on the Mirror Forums was the TFA blog. He writes extensively on the McCann case and is far more informative, factually accurate and balanced on the subject than the national newspapers. I’ve recommended his blog to a few people I know and they’ve also liked it, so I decided to big TFA up here on my site.
It’s not often I recommend blogs, I think this is only the 2nd one I’ve endorsed since I started blogging, the first being the rather excellent Post Secret blog. I know your surfing time is valuable, but check out TFA’s blog. If you’re interested in Madeleine McCann, it’s an excellent place to get the real story that the mainstream media is ignoring.
The question we should all be asking is: “why is the MSM so unbalanced when it comes to the McCanns?” I wish I had the answer for you, but I’m in the dark on this one too.
