If my foot has already been amputated does shooting it cause any “incalculable damage”? What if half my house has burned down and I vandalize the other half? Can it really be said that I’ve caused damage?

I respect the objections raised in the LAT newsroom in principle, but the fact is that its been nearly a decade since the LAT has been in a position that a story like this would be capable of causing damage.

“Granted, the deal didn’t formally close until December, 2007″

Bradley – That is the point. Did the Clear Channel people you reference leave their jobs, if they were employed, prior to the deal closing? Was Zell able to begin effecting any changes prior to the deal closing? The company filed for bankruptcy in December 2008. Deal losing to bankruptcy was 12 months. Those are the bookend dates, not two years.

It is perfectably acceptable to say no to overbearing weenies, nanny-statism, and oppressive liberalism.

#71- Ah, brain injury and organic disorder. That explains the GOPs repeated and reflexive use of the term, ‘NO!’ to everything since January 20, 2009. Thanks for clarifying.

Perseveration:

Psychology.
Uncontrollable repetition of a particular response, such as a word, phrase, or gesture, despite the absence or cessation of a stimulus, usually caused by brain injury or other organic disorder.
