A Lady's Ruminations

"Jane was firm where she felt herself to be right." -Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Is Huff Puff making things up?

Here you find a Huffington Post post with the headline:
National Guard Points Gun At NBC's Brian Williams And Staff In New Orleans...
But when you actually read what Brian Williams wrote, you see that the headline is not telling the truth:
At that same fire scene, a police officer from out of town raised the muzzle of her weapon and aimed it at members of the media... obvious members of the media... armed only with notepads.
A police officer, albeit from "out of town," is not the same thing as a member of the National Guard. Is Huff Puff deliberately maligning the military?

And you know, Brian, often what you "obvious members of the media . . . armed only with notepads" do much more damage than a brigade of police officers with weapons pointed. The only people who actively seek to kill Western journalists are the Extremist Muslim Terrorists your kind are so eager to believe the world of.
