@Cheryl ... no offense meant, but some other responses (not yours) indicated assumption of what the article said rather than knowing what it said.

@goofus: as soon as the oscillatin' fans arrive, I'll ask 'em to blow hard on the ice. That may stop the oscilatin' too.

Plus I didn't want you to think you were all alone out there, talking to a wall.

Thanks, Cheryl. Sometimes I think that talking to a wall has been my life's work. It's nice to have company here on the bench, in front of the wall. :)

I read it... Which is why I posted what I did. If I wanted to I could probably sit down and write an article stating all the great things Hitler accomplished... Of course omitting all the evil. Anyone can put a slant on anything is all I am saying.

"Mother Theresa's blatent use of socialist ideals and principles, which she obviously stole from Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, make her one of the most insidiously evil people of all time. Her empathy for the poor and sick was based on selflessness and other anti-capitalistic motives, and her attempts to redistribute wealth and diminish greed are clear examples of how dangerous this woman was......." --- Is that what you're talking about Dave???? :P I mean with regard to "slanting" a story???

You could sit down and write an article stating all the great things Hitler accomplished? That would look great on a resume for .... umm ... something ... maybe. Maybe not!

Nevermind... Someone already did it for me... www.adolfthegreat.com

Please note, I am in no way comparing Obama to Hitler (yet) nor am I making light of the atrocities he commited. I am simply pointing out that it's possible to put a spin on anything by stating FACTS and leaving other parts out.
