Briefly Noted

(default)

Just a short note today to say that I'm still seeking people to report gas prices in the area for the new Mon-Yough Gas Gauge. Actually, I'm having a lot of fun doing it. It's like a scavenger hunt; I keep a little pad and a pen on the driver's seat next to me, and jot down the price of every gas station I pass. This is what passes for entertainment when you're a geek, I suppose.

Now, here's Washington Post columnist Gene Weingarten in an online chat yesterday:

Washington, D.C.: After seeing how Pat Robertson wants to deal with public figures who tick him off, have you requested any extra security?


Also, isn't the funniest thing about that story -- by far -- the fact that Robertson's assassination request was broadcast on the ABC Family Channel?


Gene Weingarten: Yes, in case you missed it, the Rev. Pat Robertson has said it would be a good idea to assassinate the president of Venezuela, who says bad things about our government and our president.


That shows misjudgment. You can think whatever you want, but to say some things, when you have a public forum, is just plain irresponsible. For example, I would never SAY that I thought assassinating Pat Robertson wouldn't be so bad.
