This morning the post-freebie guy wasn't there and I picked up the free "Examiner" by mistake. I grabbed my own post-thingy and read it on the train. I finished the post and started in on the Examiner.
The cover was a sexy story about what drug mules stuff.
The first inside page was a full-page anti-obama editorial, claiming that obama was causing a double-dip recession by burdening industry with tons of regulation. Unlike the average blowhard, the opinion piece was chock-full of cited facts to back it up. Unfortunately, the cited facts were all devoid of context, so when you hear that regulations are expected to have 11 mil of impact, you aren't told if that's half, the same, or double the Bush era stuff. Oh - and the Bush era was referred to simply as the democratic congress.
The second page TOC had half the page taken with 4-5 more editorial descriptions with pictures of the authors - I think the black guy was named Token. All but 1 were declaring opposition to some declared obama failure.
I know the entire rep party has one platform - hate obama, but how can even their audience be satisfied with the lack of substance or breadth of issue coverage?
Why don't they notice the lack of cited data, or in these instances where data is cited the utter lack of context from which to compare?
Is there a country I can move to with less stupid and lazy people?
On the other hand, thanks to my zerking hydra/orb mf sorc in full tal set, I have nearly 18 keys (2 complete sets) lined up, a lev 90 barb for cries to boost my smiterdin for an uber-tristam run or 2. He still needs some equipment tweaks but by most measures I should be able to solo this now (though I have not). I'm still mid-rune heavy but have lined up trade items for quick cashflow - and of course if I can get some decent torches from ubering I'll potentially be wealthy for someone who doesn't bot.
I'm shamed at work as the response I was responding to had buried evidence in the very bowels of the filing which may yet get to hearing. It's an easy hearing to win, but I was hoping to win this on MSJ due to the creepiness and sleazeballness factors of the attorney in question. I'm debating whether to actually call for sanctions based on unethical conduct in the motion, which is like 19/20 pages of unsupported assertions. My question is whether he goes from exaggeration and abuse of adjectives plus circular citations, into the realm of misleading and unsupported inferences worthy of judicial or bar intervention.
I'm speaking in foreign languages on purpose for fun.
