What the Fox?
The Unfair and Unbalanced News has really confused me now. What in the hell is a "homicide bomber"? Is this their way of making a "suicide bomber" appear even more "evil" and thus further glorifying Bush's o so righteous war in their opinion. How and who comes up with stuff? I almost fell out of my chair when I heard this last night! All bombing is homicide, you numbnuts, whether it's a guy with explosive strapped to him or a B-2 dropping them overhead!

And is it just me or has Faux also seemed to ratchet up the uber patriotism in other areas lately? I noticed more of the talking empty heads with lapel flags (mostly the women)...though this could have been going on for some time, I normally try to avoid purposefully turning my mind to jelly...there's just little else on at 2 in the morning. I wonder if this is a "suggestion" from management or some decide to wear it on their own for brownie points or to endear themselves more to their flag-waving audience?

I still can't believe that not only do some people refuse to see Faux's far right slant, but a Neocon associate of mine still insists with a straight face that they're as left as the rest of the so-called "liberal media"!

1. A "homicide bomber" distinguishes said person from a...
..."humanitarian bomber".

2. Your neocon associate might be missing a brain.
Happens all the time. Just send him back to the manufacturer.
