GROSS IGNORANCE
Thursday, June 16, 2005
YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME I TRY TO GIVE SOME DEMOCRATS THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT ALONG COMES ONE WHO MAKE THE REST OF THEM LOOK BAD. A FIRST YEAR POL-SCI MAJOR EVEN KNOWS THAT TERRORISTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE GENEVA CONVENTION. Durbin refuses to apologize for Guantanamo Bay comments: "CHICAGO Illinois Senator Dick Durbin says he won't apologize for comments comparing American interrogators at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Nazis and Soviet gulags. News of the Democrat's comparison created a buzz around the Internet today, fueled by sound bites of yesterday's Senate floor speech on radio talk shows. By this afternoon, Illinois Republican Party Chairman Andy McKenna asked Durbin to apologize. Durbin says the Bush administration should apologize for abandoning the Geneva Conventions."

    Jack -- The final twist in the Schaivo case is publicized and no word from you? I thought you were all over this story.

    Hi Kathy!

    Sorry no post yet. Was on leave and haven't had a lot of chance to blog since the story broke. I will be back, and my perspective may surprise :) (although I think not)

    Take care!

    -Jack

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".


Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.


Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.


In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.

WARNING! With due reverence to the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment there is NO comment policy on the News Snipet.
