    Media goofy?

    Is the media sometimes goofy?  See below..

The paper reports that religious groups and political groups in Pakistan are enouraging this thinking. This is also what I heard and read when I was in Pakistan. We are in deep trouble if we are being ... read more

The first came when the vote tally hit 218. The second came at the end of a countdown the members were giving as the time on vote was coming to an end--even though all of the members had already finished voting with several minutes left.
