Yes, There Are Stupid QuestionsPosted by Bruce Pilgrim Talking to My Cats: 01-29-08 • Today's presidential candidates, the sultans of spin, employ "truth squads" to deal with the statements of others and not themselves? • Sportscasters continue to use the clarifier when they refer to "The New York Football Giants"?

Wow - I agree with Britton that its incredibly poor positioning. Rick also gives the kind of quote that's supposed to sound hip, clever and yet sincere, but it just comes across s [...]
