Nice work, Maggie!

My suggestion for those who run across a story that supports their viewpoint, be it left, right, or center, is to spend a little time checking the veracity of the story before going off half-cocked and rushing to start a new thread. Be assured that someone here will check it out, and the hasty one will wind up eating crow with a slice of humble pie for dessert. Either that, or having to try to defend their position while standing on empty air over a deep canyon, like Wile E. Coyote before he makes the mistake of looking down. I know it's a temptation to rush in with a story that seems to validate your position, but the internet makes things pretty easy to check. If you fail to do so, you could be the one who makes your position look less tenable than if you had just stayed silent.
