 just curious, when I get to the words in all caps am I supposed to yell those out in my head or do you just have a sticky shift button?  |

That was in poor taste, though sadly there is a ring of truth to it. Canada has been helping in AFG and they have been underfunding their military for years. They may have to stand down to recoup.
Does anyone here really think American news outlets are doing anyone any good?

I'm curious if anyone here has really watched the Red Eye show on FOX News...
It's basically a few snippy gay guys who make fun of everyone in the wee hours of the morning. I'm not sure what kind of a statement they're trying to make, it's completely out of place on the FOX News channel to be honest.
Sometimes it's witty, sometimes it's stupid.
It is much better than that awful parady show they had on last year on Sunday nights I believe that was supposed to mock Liberals. That show was just BAD in all regards and was way below what's supposed to be a source of news.
I'd rather watch Huck slap out a little "Three Note Rock" on his four string.

On re-reading my post, I have to agree that the caps were not needed. |
