On his radio program Tuesday, Mark Levin aired a clip of veteran journalist and CBS anchor Bill Kurtis on WLS saying that Herman Cain’s accuser, Sharon Bialek, is a former CBS employee with a “track record.” Given her checkered past, a chuckling Kurtis posited that Bialek‘s and Cain’s roles in the alleged car-incident could even have been reversed.
Some of Kurtis’ observations on Bialek were as follows:

“She has a history.”
“There is a lot more to this story.”
“I can assure you that there will be far more to this story.”
“Let’s put Herman or Sharon in the car and say their roles may even have been reversed, given her track record here.”

Bialek worked for CBS radio station WCKG from 2006-2007.
Listen to the clip below:


Levin brings up a point worth considering: Why is this story not making its rounds in the mainstream media, and why are voices like Kurtis’ being confined to select talk radio stations? Kurtis’ segment aired on Monday and thus far, precious few news outlets are delving into Bialek’s questionable history.

she reminds me of Tammy Faye Bakker with a better hair do.

Other than nothing, what does Christ using parables to teach and Him being a 99%er have to do with anecdotic stories being used as fact, not waiting for facts before claiming you speak from them, and accusations from multiple sources about sexual harassment?

Then I said;

I don't like stories about stories.

This means don't tell about a guy who climbed Mt. Everest. If you climbed Mt. Everest, tell me about it.

Simple. Right?

I guess not.

Who said anything about admiring anything other than you?
How does "I like hearing" turn into "admiring"?
You love to play the re-wording game.

This story is one I made up after we drove past SOLYNDRA and I took pictures. Duh!

You read the 2 previous posts. Anecdotes and parables are not the same thing.

Do I have to explain everything?

True, but anecdotes, while sometimes humorous, are not jokes, because their primary purpose is not simply to evoke laughter, but to reveal a truth more general than the brief tale itself, or to delineate a character trait in such a light that it strikes in a flash of insight to its very essence. . . .[Hence an anecdote] is closer to the tradition of the parable than the patently invented fable with its animal characters and generic human figures— but it is distinct from the parable in the historical specificity which it claims. A parable is a succinct story, in prose or verse, which illustrates one or more instructive principles, or lessons, or (sometimes) a normative principle.

The parables Jesus used to teach his followers were also anecdotes, e.g. the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal son, the Pharisee and the Publican.

And your Solyndra story is a fable.
