Newsweek's recent licentiousness is a perfect example of the "Blame America First" philosophy of the press. It assumes the worst, and is rushed to press before the facts can be crosschecked and confirmed. And 16 people died as a result. To which Newsweek gravely mumbles "I'm sorry".

Instead of the morality
that bonds the family together,
and makes the future possible,
the post-modern relativists
offer licentiousness,
meaninglessness
replacing hope.

When you join the "Mile High Club," do you get a pilot's licentious?

By that same token, Bill Clinton lost his licentious to practice law.

The senatorial consensus,
Seems to run toward licentious,
With the Kennedy-Durbin special,
A waitress sandwich, with Mezcal,
That leaves the poor woman defenseless.

I remember the southern gentleman who, when little Billy Clinton asked him whether or not he should tell an untruth, responded; "Licentious going to anyway"

Morning! I've always been fond of that word-

The latest on the loon from Georgia
Just proves that she's a tart
As well as a kleptomaniac
With a preference for Walmart

The bragging on her chastity
By her clueless fiance
Just showed that he's the only one
To whom she didn't give it away

If her licentiousness was so well known
It is obvious to me
That the fiance is a masochist
Exposed on nationwide TV

It didn't stop raining till nearly 10 last night, and it is still overcast outside-I'm going to go do an estimate now so I can get back before it rains again...

A++++ the D. xshub was ranting about this yesterday, he is all for heads rolling, and holding the media strictly liable for misinformation put in the stream of commerce that results in people dying. If Ford Motor Co. put out a product that resulted in death, you can bet the media would be screaming for strict liability against them. Information is their product, they need to be held accountable for it.

"five-years without will make one a virgin again"

I'd never heard that either, but if it is true-based on the last five years of my first marriage, I was one again when I married hubby-I can't wait to tell him...
