The corruption of language is the first step in the corruption of people; and the corruption of people is the next step in the corruption of societies. So it is that, this morning, CNN is reporting on the corporate bailout program (i.e., the rampant looting) taking place in Washington, District of Corruption. CNN assures us that “govt. won’t buy ‘troubled assets.’” What do these electronic nitwits think the bailout racket is all about? If the corporations sharing in the loot are not “troubled,” why do they have their snoots in the trough?
