I doubt it'll make much difference in the end, but I'm irked by the reporting on Cantor's office
by the Mainstream Media.

For example: the Washington Post said: "A police statement this afternoon said that a preliminary investigation shows that a bullet struck a window, landing on the floor about a foot from the window." That's the most detailed description I've seen in a national news source; others, like CBS, just said that his office was shot at, period.

But even they leave out the fact that the police report also said the bullet struck a window ON ITS WAY DOWN from being shot into the air. I've seen the building on GoogleMaps--from the placement of the windows, there's NO WAY some one was intentionally aiming at the building--and of course, not even the police are claiming that the bullet landed in the office that was Cantor's.

But of course, they quoted the congressman's statement on how this was all the Democrat's fault verbatim.

1. it is the New Math. Much like 41 out of 100 is a majority,
1 (questionable fishy report about a bullet and bullet hole)
absolutely is the equivalent of
10 (serious, disturbing threats, acts of violence, and death threats)

1=10. The GOP way.
