Nice one Mike!
I am laughing my head off and my wife is looking at me quizzically.

Back to the OP's (plagiarized) post about sanctions against Russia actually hurting the US more than they hurt Russia, a much stronger case can be (and has been) made that the $hit going on in Ukraine will actually help our securities markets (and in particular our Treasury Bonds) because our economy, while still somewhat weak, is still the best and safest place in the world for international investors to put their money. We are still "the least ugly house in an ugly neighborhood" when it comes to world financial markets. If today's Dow and Treasury markets are an indicator (both are up sharply), there seems to be something behind this notion.

Agreed Finn, I've heard us called 'the west's cleanest dirty shirt'.

Sorry, the MSM isn't perfect, but they (mostly) aren't blatant political tools, and it's still the case that getting caught in outright fabrication ends a MSM journalist's career. There is nothing keeping your websites from sexing things up with fantastic lies, and it's indeed in their interest to do so.

Unless you work for Fox, in which case you get fired for refusing to lie and fabricate. Then, when you try to sue for wrongful dismissal, you lose and a precedent is established, protecting the right of the press to lie to us with impunity.

Fox is not MSM. It's a fraud.

The point is the precedent. A journalist can't get fired for lying if that's what the boss wants but a journalist can be fired for refusing to lie if, again, that's what the boss wants.

I try to avoid the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune when traveling down the avenue near that sidestreet over there in the main dining hall.
