Really lame
“Last year, a poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Public Mind found a majority of Republicans, 51 percent believed WMD had been found in Iraq.” (publicmind.fdu.edu/2015/false/) From the Washington Post Feb. 20.
It is thought, from this survey, that the reason so many people have this false belief is by only watching news from sources that would not contradict this belief. This must be why the mainstream media is labeled the ‘lame-stream’ media, so they can justify not watching.
From the poll, “Individuals who reported getting their news from Fox were more likely to say that the WMD program had been found, with 52 percent saying that it was ‘probably’ or ‘definitely’ true, and those who get their news from MSNBC were the least likely, with only 14 percent saying the same.”
So I am now going to start calling FOX News the lame-stream media.

Bagless?
Isn’t it wonderful how we all work together to save the planet? Things like banning plastic bags and cutting down on paper bag use. From the shelf to the cart, to the check out counter, then into the car and home to the pantry, all without the use of bags.
But wait — one of our bureaucratic agencies says NO. Buy a six pack of beer and the ABC says it has to be in a bag when you leave the store. I guess I’ll have to send the ABC a bill for the nickel the store charged me for the bag.
Wonder what Mr. Trump can do about this stupid fish (dumb bass) rule?
