How can anyone be a die-hard American?
I'm watching FoxNews waiting till its time to flip to ESPN2 for soccer.
They have a short thing on about Thomas Hamill, the American who escaped from the FMR during a gunfight with US troops. Besides saying he literally ran to US troops (no shit, he was trying not to get shot), the also called him a Die-hard American. What the hell is this? Is he like Bruce Willis or something? I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, I'd like to know if FoxNews does as well. From my limited dictionary search, die-hard means: Stubbornly resisting change or clinging to a seemingly hopeless or outdated cause. So being an American is a hopeless or outdated cause? Is it really too much to ask for journalists to look up words before they use them so they don't completely look like jackasses? (Note: not a FoxNews rant, just a rant about idiot journalists) |

I know how you feel EM....trust me. Journalists are slowly making lawyers look literally like grade-A Saints. (whatever that means)
