Bush right; Segway wrong

“MSNC Headline:

Segways recalled because of software glitch
Wheels can unexpectedly reverse direction, causing riders to fall off”

“When will Bush be recalled?”

“HA! That's funny.”

“Dumbya faw down and go BOOM!!”

“Victimized by a software glitch ... it could happen to anybody.”

“I'd bet the Segway was invented by one of those silly libbies that Stove Stomper keeps telling us about. Just another way to embarass the president, dontchaknow!”

“Geez, Geo, I SCOOPED YA ON THIS, is ya just look around a little:

Course, I didn't go for the LEADING headline! ;-P”

“The fair young journalist has scooped Ole Geo!”

“wait so most people on here are of the "liberal" persuasion?”

“Take a poll”

“Headline:

President Sues Segway!

Cites Pain, Emotional Distress, Injury to Professional Image, yada yada Ad Nauseum....”

“....and for making a monkey out of him.”

“Well lizs, when you headline a story about Segway's software glitch with something about Segways on trails, how is the reader supposed to understand what you're talking about? You should know that you don't want to go around confusing the reader, who is likely confused enough to start with.”

“LOL, I was just saving the space of another thread.

;-P

Crikey, today I have two county attorney candidates #&%!$ing about how their candidate profile questions were run pre-election. They have some valid points we need to discuss, BUT.... the fact that they're attorneys makes it all the worse... ya KNOW???!?! lol”

“Ahhh yes, the ol lawyerly quest for truth. I know it well.

I had one who wanted to sue us over an erroneous police blotter report. He was on the phone dogging me, so I reported the situation to our lawyer, who called him up and gave him a valuable Libel Law 101 lesson - ya can't sue the paper for an error on the police blotter. Doh! I wish I could have listened in on that one.

The tactic is bluster, which presumably makes dumb journalists wilt under the onslaught. Hold your ground, my friend.”

“Well, this is nice, but I'm pretty sure that pretzels are safe from recalls, and Bush is still an idiot.”

“Dumbest thread of today.”

“Come on Goober, what's your problem? It's flagged fuego. You should be happy.”
