Outfoxed With Link

Saw an article linked to on Bing to the Fox News website, read it, then saw another article I wanted to read but got a 404 page.

"You may be interested in the content below."

Uh, I "may be", but I clicked on the link to an article that definitely DID interest me...and it wasn't there.  Get your act together, Fox News.

On the other hand, if it had been on the MSNBC or CNN websites, the article would have been there, but I'd have had to tilt my head to the left to read it and crossed my eyes to filter out the political bias.  I'd say the same thing is sometimes true - in reverse-  of Fox News too, but they're the only ones accused of being biased. Gimme a break.

venerable


venerable ven·er·a·ble [ven-er-uh-buhl] adjective

1. commanding respect because of great age or impressive dignity; worthy of veneration or reverence, as because of high office or noble character: a venerable member of Congress.

2. a title for someone proclaimed by the Roman Catholic Church to have attained the first degree of sanctity or of an Anglican archdeacon.

3. (of places, buildings, etc.) hallowed by religious, historic, or other lofty associations: the venerable halls of the abbey.

4. impressive or interesting because of age, antique appearance, etc.: a venerable oak tree.

5. extremely old or obsolete; ancient: a venerable automobile.


"a venerable member of Congress"??? That, folks, is the very definition of an oxymoron.

I Should Be a Fat Irishman

You Should Eat Irish Food

You are a seeker and sharer of comfort. You want everyone to feel content and happy, including yourself.

You tend to be both a mediator and peacemaker. You don't anyone to feel excluded or alienated.

You are social, but only when it comes to the people you've grown close to. You like to surround yourself with the people you love.


A great day doesn't have to be special for you. Doing ordinary things is very affirming.
