I was flipping through the channels today and stopped on Fox news for a moment. Apparently they have taken to calling the people who attach bombs to themselves and go into crowds to kill others and themselves “homocide bombers”. Seems a bit redundant to me. The crawl was: Homocide bomber kills six and self ---

Who was the dumb@s that snuck into your locked house and exploded a frikken PIPE BOMB next to you and your equally innocent little friends? I’m so sorry for you guys.

What did he say to, pardon the expression, set you off? Why do you assume he’s an Evil Fucking Terror Vandal who Got His (Almost)? Hell, he injected a shot of _real information gained from first-hand observation_ into this discussion (where, might I say, even Cecil failed to give a straight answer) and you leap down his throat like a glob of greased semen. I might be as close as I’ll ever get to calling someone out in the Pit. ---

\*\*“homocide bombers”. \*\* Also incorrect since many suicide bombers end up only injuring innocents and only killing themselves. (Unfortunately not the case recently.) Apparently this is the new wordsmithing from the White House press briefing today. Interesting how Fox picked it up and ran with it immediately. If this were a different forum I might suggest that the motto of theirs (fair and unbiased?) might be a bit tainted. ---

Only homicide bombers targeting homosexuals can be called **homocide** bombers. ---
