"Why the fuss about torturing people who want us dead?"
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But, see, they're mostly questions, not statements. "Terror-kiddies plan to abolish US via cuteness?" They're not saying they are for sure, see?
I love when Jon Stewart does a bit on this.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, The Simpsons made fun of the text that Fox put on their news programs. "Do Democrats cause cancer?" was the only one I caught that I remember....

I can't believe I'm the first to link to this!
Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found naked, bound and drunk, according to Israeli media reports confirmed Monday by a government spokeswoman.
The longtime diplomat, Tsuriel Raphael, has been removed from his post and the Foreign Ministry has begun searching for a replacement, said ministry spokeswoman Zehavit Ben-Hillel.
Two weeks ago, El Salvador police found Raphael in the yard of his residence, tied up, gagged with a ball and drunk, Israeli media reported. He was wearing sex bondage equipment, the media said. After he was untied, Raphael told police he was the ambassador of Israel, the reports said.
Ben-Hillel said the reports were accurate and that Raphael has been recalled, although he did not break any laws.
''We're talking about behavior that is unbecoming of a diplomat,'' she said.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Wow. The Israeli government is in a worse state than the US govt. And that's saying something.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
from above 'person of interest' range from suspect to suspect's friend , brother or mother. Might also be the person that jumped out of the way when the out of control car sped by. ( i used to test police reporting software) When I see it used on the news it often means either suspect , or that someone is invovled in an important way, but they don't want to tell anyone how yet.

Yeah, it's like the cops are asked about progress on the case and they wanna reply, "We're doin' stuff. Talkin' to people. Leave us alone."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yeah, in the British parlance, it can be "someone aiding the police in their inquiries" whether voluntarily or un-.
