News people say the darndest things....
A little off topic here, but I thought I'd point this out and maybe you can comment with some stupefying choice of words you've experienced on the news...
In the last 2 hours alone....

- On the radio, a reporter from ABC Network News was reporting on 1000 motorcycles that were escorting a steel girder from the World Trade Centers from New York to Pennsylvania. The steel girder, he said was "From the 9/11 airline crash". Lest we forget, it was not an "Airline Crash" it was a TERRORIST ATTACK! I think some groups would benefit from society not calling a spade a spade, so to speak. Call it an airline crash long enough, and our ADDHD society will soon forget all about those little AlQaida nasties.
- This one is funny, an art student in Denver commented to a Fox31 reporter about the police presence today around the Pepsi Center doing security sweeps in advance of the DNC. She said, and I quote "it's not even the convention yet and the police are walking around with live ammo..." LOL! Beer actually came out of my nose on that one! Oh God, please, please please please can we switch to cops carrying paint balls :) No seriously, that way they can mark all the bad guys so they can be found and arrested peacefully another day. Ok really seriously, this girl is in COLLEGE.
Feel free to comment with ones that you've heard.
There's some serious stuff going on in Denver too, like a sex assault at gunpoint. I'll post on that when I have more details.

My favorite quote this weekend was Joe Biden claiming that, "Ladies and gentlemen, your kitchen table is like mine."
Of course he said this after he left his $1 million home and hopped a private jet to go to Illinois.
I'm thinking my "kitchen table" is not like his at all.
I'm really sorry I missed the "live ammo" soundbite.
Here's a good one: A "reporter" on msnbc was saying that Gov. Palin is not experienced enough to be VP. Hmmmm.
btw, I am LOVING the way they keep showing Gov Palin with a gun in her hand. heh.
Palin is less experienced that Obama, that's for sure.
Regarding the sh!thead that ran a red light killing 2 women and a little boy...a report on Fox 31 had a phone interview with an official that referred to him as a "non-US Citizen". Is that the term we're supposed to use now? I'm confused.
It is an odd way to put it. Why not say "illegal immigrant" or "green card holder" or something so we'd know what was what.
