Replying to a message of Phil Payne to Randy H:

 PP> From: Phil Payne 

 PP> "Never mind, today is another day and another opportunity to utter
 PP> nonsense. “Chemical weapons find”, “Scud missile find”, “uprising in
 PP> Basra”, “a column of 1,000 vehicles is making its way South”, “it
 PP> wasn’t our missile”, “Syria is supplying night vision equipment”,
 PP> “surrender en masse”, “Basra has fallen”, “a general has been
 PP> captured”… How many times can self-respecting embedded journalists
 PP> regurgitate the offal that is fed to them?"

Forever, if need be.  If they *don't* regurgitate the offal, they will soon
become un-embedded and have to look for real jobs.
