Breaking News

by: Uncle_Buck

Last night our local FOX station broke in with the latest news--"Sniper along 385."  OH NO, our very own Beltway sniper! 

Knowing that our local FOX tends to over react and dramatizes every little "might-be-news" story, my wife and I decided to flip through and see if any other channles were covering the story.  They were not.

To our humorous delight, we later found out that our sniper had hit only three cars using a b-b gun.  SNIPER?  You gotta be kidding me!  I know these little guns can be dangerous (they kill up to four people per year--I guess that's the quota they meet and then they stop), but I'd hardly call a teenager with a Daisy a sniper.  That'd be like calling me Chef just because I put peanut butter between two slices of bread.

Our\'s does the same thing.Jumping to conclusions with out many ( oops I ment - ANY ) facts first. It\'s like there ambulance chasers. When they first took over our local station - you should have heard how badly they ( murdered - miss pronounced )the names of local people and places.
