Big leap or little leap, I find definitions for "coward" and such like very problematic.

I have no such problem in this case.

Neither do I......although I believe we used the term coward for males who BEAT UP elderly people, I don't know what you'd call a p.o.s. who shoots one.

I don't understand what the media can't be telling us.....he had a gun, he shot people, a 76 year old MAN is dead because of that piece of shit. Did they lie about the amount of bullets?

Way to go Santino, I'm proud of ya Did you get a responce back from them?

Amen to that SB. I am sick and tired of seeing his face.

Actually I received a phone call from the subscription department yesterday afternoon. They told me that they were sorry that I had decided not to re-new my subscrition ( so happens that it comes up for renewal next week) and asked if there was anything that they could do to change my mind. I told them

"Sure, try hiring some real reporters and tell your editors to start showing some integrity with the stories and pictures that they choose to print, and just maybe I'll buy a sunday edition once in a while for the coupons."

and I hung up. Screw them.

WTG DC... putting your money where your mouth is. There is some news value to showing some information about this nut case, but the Daily News and other tabloids went way over the top with this, as did NBC News. MSNBC in the run-up to the evening news was giving out teasers saying that Brian Williams would have "exclusive" vidoes of the guy, and "exclusive" info about the things he wrote. If this is considered "newsworthy" they should have run it when they got it, after a reasonable interval to censor obscenities etc., and left it at that. Instead they chose to shill the piece and build up suspense. That is not journalism it is sleazy exploitation.

As Bernie Goldberg noted this morning, "It went from 'news' to 'show business.'" Of course, they do this everytime there's a "breaking story" of this magnitude. I can still see the 2 space shuttle disasters over and over in my head as if they occurred yesterday, as well as the images of 9-11 and the OK city bombing. It's like watching the Zapruder film over and over and over.

Va. Tech gunman's family Speak

You know that old question, "Who would you hate to be stuck in a lift with"?

Mine would surely be Nikki Finke, author of this article.

I am watching Larry King who is discussing this shooting and speaking with Choi's dorm mate. Everyone says the same thing, he kept to himself and never talked to you and if he did he never looked you in the eye.

Anyway, they just had Anderson Cooper announce that the latest news coming up is that police are thinking that "maybe" there were others who knew about Choi's plan. That's all I know so far.



TIS

All of us are failures; we all die.

Nobody wants to be a nobody. All our acts are partly devised to fill or to mask the emptiness we feel at the core.

We all like to be loved or hated; it is a sign that we shall be remembered, that we did not 'not exist'. For this reason, many unable to create love have created hate. That too is remembered.

John Fowles

You read his new book yet? I'm loving it.

Great quote!
