Sounds like Mr. Cruz is sharpening his claws to gut the neo-fascist propaganda press. Cool.

Tom, the use of the word “exercised” in this context is a wholly appropriate usage of the word.

Yep , it fits, they get exercised being all upset about something [From the dictionary]:
(now often in passive) To occupy the attention and effort of; to task; to tax, especially in a painful or vexatious manner; harass; to vex; to worry or make anxious.

I'm glad Senator Cruz was right and I was wrong.
Thanks for teaching me something.

"Uhh... I think he meant "exorcised," not "exercised." And you would be wrong. Cruz's use of the word is correct.

Ted’s full of it: black-on-black murders in Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Phildelphia and the rest of the inner cities have dropped 50% since The Duke was cancelled!

And you would be wrong. Cruz's use of the word is correct. Yes. I have already dragged myself through the mud over this if you would just look at the thread above!
Some people just want a pound of flesh I guess.

I’ll give you back your pound of flesh if you let me borrow some of those italics.

referring to Tomas de Torquemada, who served as the first grand inquisitor of Spain. And as Mel Brooks said in "History of the World", "you can't Torquemada anything!" Just like today's liberal supremacists.
Well done, Ted.

Honestly, I thought there was a word - my impression was it was the word
exorcised - that sounded very much like "exercised" but meant something like "to be in a state of high dudgeon."
I have believed this since I was a teenager.
What makes it even worse is I have used that word in a sentence on occasion, thinking it meant something quite different. As I explained.
Then, when I read the quote of Senator Cruz's words, I was slightly dismayed; I thought he had committed a faux pas, and I believed that the snarky MSM people would "go to town" over it.
Therefore, I am truly relieved to be in the wrong, and in addition pleased to have corrected an error I propagated for many years.

Italics are free to all who would use them responsibly. Unlike myself.
I don't mean that you should "unlike myself," of course.

That picture shows the mentality of America and sadly they don’t think anything is wrong with it.
