How would they know she was calm? She did not appear in public. She canceled her appearances.
Thank you. Yes, I knew for sure that grafs was wrong. Wasn’t sure if pores or pours was correct. lol
It’s guaranteed this story will be front and center in any and all pitches for hitlerycare from now on. This clown’s plight will be played up more than Rodney King’s beat down.
“IIRC, it’s been ‘lede’ in the newspaper business for a very long time.
Similarly, ‘grafs’ is a newspaper slang term for ‘paragraphs’.”

Why thanks, then I was always getting “lead paragraph” mixed up with “lede.” Now I can talk like a proper ink-stained wretch.
You knew this was going to happen. The media was going to spin this hostage thing into some positive for Hillary. In fact, I still expect to see it come out eventually that Eisenberg is a Hillary plant and the whole charade was to take the “CNN debate-Hillary plant” story off the cable news cycles because it was spinning badly not just for Clinton News Network but for also for Clinton, Inc. If the Clintons can get their people in as debate questioners for CNN, it’s got to be even easier for them to get their people into hostage situations at their own campaign headquarters.
Pour your heart out while you peruse and pore over today’s news.
Okay, newspaper trivia time:
Can anyone explain the meaning of ETAOIN SHRDLU
:0)
Hahhaaaaaaaaaaaa.
as to synchophantic AP reporters gushing over hillary, in this age of the internet and HDTV, where we were all ‘there’ the media is losings its power to influence public perceptions of events.
its like when Lucy and Ricardo splept in separate beds on tv. Weve all moved on but they still dont get it.
Now that would really be wagging the dog, lol.
This hostage taking perp also plays right into Clinton’s whole view of the absolute need for socialized medicine, too. After all, the poor guy couldn’t afford his meds. (He could afford to get drunk at the bar, though).
The Unpronounceable Wing of the Irish Republican Army? :-)
DANG!
But you had to look it up, anyway...
LOL! That reminds me of that famous Irish last name, Feaoirghuieshiaoun.
You know, “Ferguson.”
This snippet from WIKI describes 90% of today’s touchy-feely approach:
“A feature’s first paragraphs often relate an intriguing moment or event, as in an “anecdotal lede”. From the particulars of a person or episode, its view quickly broadens to generalities about the story’s subject.”
Like in, “Jose and Maria stood outside the welfare office door in the same old line for the fourth day like others of their color, only to be sent to the back of the line to wait another day.”
“Maria, almost full-term now, swollen legs aching and shivering in the hostile gloom of November so far from their desperately escaped homeland, reminded herself how hard she had worked to get here - to make sure her baby would be born free in a land where each person was as good as...”
That sort of stuff by way of telling us once again how meanspirited the powers-that-be against the innocent and proud who just want their fair share, etc., etc.
Not exactly Road Flare Ground Zero.
Why not be calm? She had something that would get her Shillaries off the front pages with something that seemed to make her appear a “victim”. There was nothing for her to do except make certain she got to New Hampshire AFTER the crisis was over...and she would be a winner regardless of whether the New Hampshire police were successful in getting the nutcase to surrender or whether he blew up or burned down her storefront campaign headquarters.
