So much for Fox News being the infallible news source that GOP Coggies portray it as being.

Here we’ve got them reporting that “Russian jets circled US territory of Guam” –

Original article here

The article says that:

The Air Force confirms that two Russian bombers on Tuesday circled the U.S. island territory of Guam, prompting U.S. jets to scramble and respond.

Two U.S. Air Force F-15 fighter aircraft, operating out of Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, intercepted the Russian Tu-95 bomber aircraft, which left in a northbound direction, said military spokeswoman Capt. Kim Bender.

Except there’s one mistake – one that Fox News’ proofreaders and editors should have caught:

The article title says Guam was buzzed by “Russian jets,” yet the Tu-95 Bear uses turboprop engines – the spinning props are plainly visible in the picture above.

Got this recently from The Daily Reckoning:

The Daily Reckoning – Monday, February 18, 2013

Greg Kadajski checking in today from Baltimore, Maryland . . .

Dear Reader,

Today is “Washington’s Birthday.” Well . . . not really. George Washington was actually born on February 22nd. But thanks to the Uniform Monday Holiday Act – the purpose of which you can only guess at – we now celebrate it on the third Monday of February.

And so, in a sense, the US government now mandates that “February 22nd” actually fall somewhere between February 15th and February 21st of each calendar year.

Yup . . . That seems in keeping with a governmental view of the facts.

Considering that my own birthday falls into this same time frame (21 February), does this apply to me as well?

Can I get a guaranteed day off with pay, as the Posties do every year for “President’s Day” ?

Here’s a happy Valentine’s Day greeting, courtesy of YouTube

For what it’s worth, I’d do her. She’s cute, and wouldn’t be the first raving nut-job that I’ve dated, and probably won’t be the last.

It’s “all good in the ‘hood,” right?

Thanks to Doug for the tip-off!

The more I see from California, the more I think that Lex Luthor had the right idea in the 1978 Superman flick

Ever notice that some on the internet can’t resist ending sentences with multiple exclamation points?

And it seems that the people who do this also have problems with getting their point across in a clear, concise manner.

That, and their postings usually have misspelled words, misused capitalization on top of the punctuation issues.

Why is it that a person’s IQ seems to be inversely proportional to the number of exclamation points that they attach to the end of a sentence or question?
