You were probably canned for being a bitch.

Knowing neither person, your willingness to make an assumption one way or the other says more about you than it does about anyone else.

I threw a notepad at the vice president and told him in a long tirade to get fuxed.

You reversed the cause and effect.

Objective news is a dying thing.

Objectivity has been dead at newspapers for a while now. When major newspapers (think L.A. Times) withhold stories to influence elections they can no longer be perceived as being objective. I canceled my subscription to my local newspaper when the local sports reporter kept throwing in national politics when reporting about the local high school games. Newspapers are dead and dying ... and I will contend that they committed suicide.
