Scroll down to the picture of the girl with "W" hair. Right click on her picture. Look at the file name.

It says "shooting" when you put your cursor on it. And if you left click and check out the name of the file, it is "brainwashedchild.jpg."

Is Reuters suggesting we shoot children who support W because they are brain-washed? CBS should investigate.

Saw this picture on the 18th elsewhere and I saved it then. That file name was wgirll.jpg. It seems someone with an agenda renamed the file after cropping this one.

Worse yet, hold the arrow over the picture. The word "shooting" pops up.

Tempest. I've just saved this incredibly comprehensive list. Thank you so much.

I've just informed the Houston Chronicle what I think of their arrogance and obvious liberal bias in labeling this dear child "brainwashed." (ie: ...not much)

hugs, Marty

"The Yellow Journal of Texas"

Here's the lyrics of "Yellow Rose of Texas." Someone paraphrase them to reflect the Houston Chronical.




There's a yellow rose in Texas, that I am going to see,
Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me.
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
And if I ever find her, we nevermore will part.

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

When the Rio Grande is flowing, the starry skies are bright,
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night:
I know that she remembers, when we parted long ago,
I promise to return again, and not to leave her so.

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

Oh now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe,
And we'll sing the songs together, that we sung so long ago
We'll play the bango gaily, and we'll sing the songs of yore,
And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore.

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

You are right, it is indeed slander. That little girl is not a public figure. I hope her family sues.

Subject: Brain Washed Child?

Call me crazy, but it seems rather comical to claim to be an impartial, non-partisan source of news, when your .JPG naming convention is a form of propaganda.

THEY CHANGED IT!! It now reads, "http://images.chron.com/content/news/photos/04/09/17/bushdo.jpg"

Losers. Too late to send to Fox, after all.

Oh well. Chronicled here forever, Houston Chronicle!

The HTML for the photo on the Chronicle's web site, minus the opening and closing < & >, is:

"TD vAlign=top width=300><IMG height=201 alt=shooting src="http://images.chron.com/content/news/photos/04/09/17/brainwashedchild.jpg" width=143 vspace=3 border=0"

They put the word shooting there intentionally. This is despicable.

I still hope they put out some explanation of why it was named that in the first place, and that Matt publicizes it.
