Pardon. Meant to say PBS.
What this proves is that public subsidies for NPR are unneeded. CNN can do the same thing without them.
$24k is way overpriced. Heck, in the US you can get an experienced and equipped assassin for $10k. And he is reusable.
Posner shouldn't have quit. Instead of that lame "inadvertently" excuse, he should have claimed that he was just adapting the accepted music meme of "sampling" to a parallel medium, i.e., journalism. In fact, somebody else wrote this comment before me. Think I'm gonna crater to some jive accusation of "plagiarism"? Ha! Sucker can talk to my lawyer.
Something just doesn't make sense here. Why would ABCnews, which has not shown footage of the WTC attack for nearly ten years, file this FoI request? Photos are okay but video is not? ABC is a video medium, not a newspaper.
Tesco is inviting an "Improv Everywhere" event. Ladies, give to them in the nuts section. I suggest trench-coats over your skimpiest nities, three videocams and a musical number ("Climb Every Mountain" from "The Sound of Music", perhaps?). Do it good, down & dirty and I promise every honest man in Britain will stand up for you!
On the National Biscuit Company,
Rather posted ratings dead last.
Kissing Saddam Heusein, dissing Bush's good name,
Rather's ruin is simply a blast!
Wrongo Defcon! Those Yemenis would be Muslims, and listing them would be Profiling, which would be a bad thing, of course. The half million people on the Watch List are American Soldiers because, as Ms. Napolitano said clearly in April as you must recall, Verterans may be recruited by "right wing extremist" groups.
A young pet monkey had an accident and needed a brain transplant. The veterinarian told the monkey's human family, "Brains are very expensive, and you will have to pay the cost yourselves."
"Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the family.
"For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000," replied the vet.
All the men in the family nodded because they thought they understood. But the mother was unsatisfied and asked, "Why the difference in price between male and female brains?"
"Standard pricing practice," said the vet. "The female brains have to be marked down because they’ve actually been used!".
Sorry for taking so long to reply. What with new years & the clean up (not just cups & plates, humans too) it's been a bit of a ride. Anyhow, I have been researching monkey jokes and found that they are either a) for kids or b) too sexually oriented for me to send to a woman I hardly know. I do find your commentary interesting & intelligent (not to mention grammatical, a rarity on the internet). If you are inclined, I would like to continue our dialog, but it probably should move from here as I don't know how long this thread will be maintained. My e-mail address is gbrown (at) alum.mit.edu. The "g" is for George. Yes, as in that famous monkey Curious George. I did find one appropriate joke & will post it separately.
Hope to hear from you,
George
