I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Trust Cretin News Network!

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

That is disgusting! News media need to check their sources BEFORE reporting! 

I want to roll around in that chocolate cake.  For now, I'll make do with steak strips and hard cider.

I am so sorry E. i don't get here as much as I would like but believe me, I am one of the ones who has your back.

For E:

Imagine a sea of chocolate....

Guess those "credible" sources aren't so credible after all.  Time to find new "credible" sources, CNN!

In law enforcement, what was done to Richard Jewell is actually now a verb - to "Richard Jewell" someone, or to falsely accuse someone through unofficial "official" leaks and to focus on a suspect because they are easy, not because they are an actual suspect.



In the Foreign Service, there is also an expression to "April Glaspie" someone. April Glaspie was the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq before Gulf I. She followed instructions from the Bush the Elder's White House to tell Saddam Hussein that the U.S. would not interfere in regional disputes. He took that as a signal to go ahead and invade Kuwait, and she was fired and pilloried for supposedly telling him to go ahead, we wouldn't care. To be "April Glaspied" is to convey messages that you are told to convey from further up the food chain and, when things don't turn out satisfactorily, blame the messenger.

soooooo - no expanded background checks for the purchase of guns - unless CNN got that wrong, too.

Did any part of the bill pass - or did the whole thing (whatever it was) die on the floor?

Utterly disgusting. I am sickened and revolted by the cowardice of some senators and the mendacity of others. The lies of the NRA are more important to them than the truth of the 20 murdered babies of Newtown, of the teachers and staffers who gave their lives trying to protect them. The lies of the psychopaths of the NRA and their money are more important to the political whores in the Senate who care only for their jobs and not the hundreds of thousands of people murdered by guns. And do.not.come.here with your specious arguments and false equivalencies shilling for the NRA murderers. Just shut up and stay away.
