Can we have a new year’s resolution to stop writing the word “chilling” in every other headline?

How about "unexpectedly chilling?"

I’d tell you the chilling tale of a bottle of pinot grigio in my refrigerator, if I had one.

Yes. Or "shocking." These tend to come in publications with views sympathetic to conservatives and/or Christians. First of all, I can decide for myself whether something is shocking. Second, if a reader finds something shocking, then it's because they have their head up their ass and aren't paying attention to the ugly world around them. Nothing is shocking anymore. We need to get beyond being shocked and start taking action, and we can't do that if our friends have their heads up their ass.

Very true. It’s become as over-used in the MSM as the word “RINO” is here on Free Republic.

Understand your sentiment. On this end, one of two things has to happen; either crime ceases or the phrase “shots rang out” has to be banned from the news. “Shots” has become wearisome.
