Post #146,239 by Nightowl 3/15/04 1:03:46 PM Reply	I'm confused... Did they vote against Bush and his tactics or for them? I've been trying to make sense of this for a couple days, and don't really get it, despite reading my paper. Nightowl >8# "Don't be a cynic and disconsolate preacher. Don't bewail and moan.

Post #146,241 by Nightowl 3/15/04 1:07:19 PM Reply	Thank you, That explains it so much better. Why couldn't my silly newspaper just say that instead of all the lamenting and whining and unexplaining comments. :) Nightowl >8# "Don't be a cynic and disconsolate preacher. Don't bewail and moan.

The "lamenting and whining and unexplaining comments" is what happens when the vast unwashed rise up and smite the agenda upside its pointy li'l head. jb4 shrub\ufffdbish (Am., from shrub* + rubbish, after the derisive name for America's 43 president; 2003) n. 1. a form of nonsensical political doubletalk wherein the speaker attempts to defend the indefensible by lying, obfuscation, or otherwise misstating that facts; GIBBERISH. 2. any of a collection of utterances from America's putative 43rd president. cf.* BULLSHIT Edited by jb4 March 15, 2004, 01:34:05 PM EST Expand All History
Post #146,312 by Nightowl 3/15/04 5:08:01 PM Reply	True, but still... You would still think they would be able to write the article in plain enough English so I knew what happened, rather than just their political agenda about it, or thoughts on the matter. Isn't that what reporting was supposed to be, non-opinionated? When I took journalisism, it was the thing I couldn't stand, reporting just facts without opinions. Ah well... at least I get it now.
