Suck (what?) or 'snark'? I usually snark vigorously when I've a head cold. I tried to write the editors but they didn't want to hear from me. I'll stay here.

Snarky headlines? Well, I sort of agree with this criticism. King Kong was much better than Drudge implied. However, the media and Hollywood have been leading their movies, stories, and headlines with snarky comments for years and years. Wasn't the movie 'Platoon' snarky? Or how about this headline; "Military leaders Fear up to 30,000 US Soldiers Will Die in Iraq." That is the gand pubah of snarky.

In fact, the last three years of Iraq coverage has been snarky. I started to read a story about how the 'innocents' in Iraq have suffered so much over the last three years. I expected to get a 'suicide bombing story' or perhaps an 'Al Qaeda is Evil' kind of thing. Instead, it was an expose of how a child was shot by a stray US marine bullet. It was a whole 'Snarky' story from top to bottom....nevermind that 90% of the innoncence killed in Iraq are at the hands of the terorist (In my mind, the other 10% killed are also the fault of the terorist as well....What about that angle media?)

In closing, the left getting a taste of its own medicine really doesn't bother me. I'm rather happy today.

I have no idea what a 'snark' is, but I was told that a 'snarf' is someone who takes pleasure in sniffing women's bicycle seats.
