You just cant make this stuff up..

Sure you can -- you made up the title.

[Mr. Mojo]

Now fixed.

[JRios1968]

Not a good idea to change the title from the original...even if it's to make a point.

George W. Bush doesn't care enough about black people to keep track of the free money he gives them.

Take it easy guys....only the second time I have ever posted here...thought it was an interesting article....my apologies

[Ruth A.]

Gosh, we could have given it to the UN for all the good it did and the accountability expected.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

No problem. Just that the Mods are real strict on altering the titles though. I don't even like it when FReepers add commentary in parenthensis next to the title. Not only is it tacky, but it's skirting the posting rules too.

I just figured out how to get images to post...and I am quite proud of that. :)

"Probably on the low side", 16% of $6 billion comes to nearly a billion wasted taxpayer dollars. Why on earth would a scumbag Democrat newspaper like the LA Times give a rat's behind about taxpayers? There is absolutely nothing surprising about this editorial. Nothing.

[jmranchman]

You are right....it is tacky but it wasnt done maliciously and I will certainly know better next time....should have done a better job of reading what I posted when I previewed it....thanks for letting me know and for fixing it as well...

What is with the cows taking a dirt nap?

[Mr. Mojo]

Is that one of them UFO cattle mutiliation photos?

[jmranchman]

Doing their best impression of the French in WWII I guess....

I don't think it "skirts the posting rules", and I don't think it's tacky. Often, a short added phrase is helpful in clarifying what the actual topic of the thread is.

Well i didnt want to give the impression that I even remotely agreed with the article....what I posted as the title was actually the caption underneath the title of the article.....just a brain fart moment on my part...

[FreedomNeocon]

I didn't see the original, but convention is to list title first, and if you want to 'correct' or re-title, follow the existing one with "Real Title (Your Title Here)"

I do that from time to time, and is often necessary with how the MSM plays things, but for the sake of not double posting you should always include the original title first.

[FreedomNeocon]

Well I do the (Re_Title) and I consider it not only VALID (not skirting the rules) but also GOOD NETIQUITE.

I will continue to do so.

Deal with it.

[jmranchman]

I gotcha...thanks for the help Neocon....

I find "barf alert" is a time saver for me.
