Does Hollywood have just ONE bird call in its library?

You've seen hawks on McGyver. They always screech, the call is extremely familiar. One note, a bit raspy, starting at G above middle C, and then dropping a couple of notes, lasting about one second.

They use this call for the red-tailed hawks they love so much to use. They also use this call for larger hawks. Then I saw them using this call for bald eagles. Now I'm seeing them use this call for vultures ?!?!?!?!? What the hell!

So stupid. Sooooo stupid.

TOTUS

That's the Teleprompter that Obama uses, the Teleprompter of the United States. To some people it looks like a crutch and a few people laugh about it.

To liberals is seems perfectly natural for him to be so heavily reliant on the thing, certainly it's nothing to joke about, and only jerks would make fun of POTUS over the TOTUS.

Does anyone remember the vicious attacks against Reagan for using a teleprompter? He was called an idiot or at best a simpleton for using it. Why isn't use of the teleprompter proof that Obama is an idiot and a simpleton?

Ah, our dear, loving Left wing.

Every clue is not a lead.

"Every clue is not a lead."

This line says that the set of all clues does not include as a subset nor as an intersecting set those things which belong to the set of leads.

This is patently not true. The set of a clues does indeed intersect with the set of all leads. There are some leads in the set of all leads which are not included in the set of all clues.

The sentence should read, "Not every clue is a lead." This sentence isn't even less dramatic or less intelligent than the original. The original is just dumb but so many Americans are guilty of this kind of wording.

"Bob, you have to understand, you can't paint your living room pink. Everyone doesn't like pink." They mean that there are a lot of people who don't like pink, but they have said that every person doesn't like pink. There is nothing wrong with saying it correctly, "not everyone likes pink." It's even the same number of words.
