#1 Bravo to you, bud

People whose 'target market' is the innocent have only one name.

#2 Good post. The media have no right to do away with a perfectly valid word in order to remain on the 'good' side of terrorists for the sake of the story. I don't see why people should have to first decode the news in order to understand it.

However, 'terrorist' did creep briefly back into the media following the horror in Beslan, popping up in the strangest places - like CNN for example. Beslan shook the media awake. But I'm afraid they've gone back to sleep again.

#3 I'm starting to hate David Warren. He thinks just like I do, but he writes so much better...

#4 Sorry, Fred, he also has more hair...

#5 He doesn't have the wit that you do, Fred. Will you ever see "curly toed slippers, don't fail me now!" in one of his columns? N0000000000! One needs more than declaritive sentences. You da man. Carry on.

#6 Yes Fred, listen to AP, and please don't forget the snippets that make Rantburg (tm) a bolthole of sanity in this weird weird world (any other Heinlein fans think we're living through the "Crazy Times"?)

Mind you, that was a storming column though...

#7 I bet Warren also has no "Ethel, bring me my pills, quick!"

#8 If they ain't got the Fat Lady, they don't stand a chance.

Just as Mel Brooks insists upon riduculing the Nazis, Fred and the Rantburgers give terrorists their daily dose of salts. Pretty hard to beat when you compare it to the pap being pumped out by mainstream media.
