Had to bookmark this for future reference. The leftwing is so blantantly dishonest. The only thing shocking is every once in a blue moon, one says something remotely honest.

Great idea. This one will come in handy the next time someone tries to challenge the reality of liberal media bias.

re: every once in a blue moon

I used to do the weather page for a large daily newspaper. One of the features of the page was the "Ask the Newsteam" where readers would write, call or e-mail a weather-related question and we would prevail upon one of our tv-side weather people to answer it. A reader once asked what the term "blue moon" meant when he heard the weather-guy use it.

We had quite a go-'round with that one because the copy editor had an definition in mind different from the weather person's.

Just curious, what is your definition for the term? FYI, we went with a blue moon being those rare occasions when there are two full moons in a calendar month. I forget where we found it though.
