"Crosshairs" is the new 4 letter word!

By Paul Glasco

If we have conditioned ourselves to begin to function as if every sentence we speak needs to be stripped of its flavor and description so as not to offend or provoke one or two thin-skinned crackpots waiting for their turn to lash out at the huge majority of good people in this country, then we are ripe for the picking as far as opposing countries are concerned. Is it time to eliminate adverbs and adjectives and also release a short list of nouns that meet overall approval to reach this goal? Maybe a grammar czar?

The pulse of our country is not from a tiny group of drooling nutcases sitting in a rubber room rubbing peanut butter in their hair waiting for us to slip up in what we say so as to trigger their own predetermined blood bath. As cynical as it seems, sometimes s__t just happens!

This video clip is regarding CNN's apology for using the words "cross hairs". Ridiculous.
