"That's like English, only different. "

And just think, whomever wrote that probably spent four years in school learning to write like that. And they say education in America is failing our youth.

I think that they have ‘outsourced’ all their reporting.

Some guy in India probably does the news column for them, based on AP news releases .

One can only hope that more dead fish will wash up in Martha’s Vineyard while the Obamas are there.

Never heard of menhaden...but bunker fish are called bunkers along Jersey shore; aka “bait.”

CBS has the grammatical gaffe too. It should say “to BE exclusively small menhaden”.

Moss bunkers have been washing up dead on the beaches of the jersey shore for as long as I can remember. They used to stink up the entire town. Our dogs would run down to the beaches to roll in them. What a mess. Tomato juice was the only way to get the smell out. I hear the water is much cleaner these days so I can't imagine it's the pollution.
