That has got to be a record: the same dumb news posted twice on the same day.

Man, it was bad enough when I posted it! Jesus, MikeB, did you get this off the Drudge report or something?

Also, I can understand maybe the dp search not working. I can understand not screening down a whole two hours worth of previous posts (7 inches of screen real estate), but I'm stunned, doesn't the FPP page tell you if your URL is an EXACT DUPLICATE of one that has been previously posted? How does this happen?

"has matt got a life or something?"

I bet he passed out from the exertion of deleting all those posts this morning.

It was pretty good, wasn't it?

Kudos to grabbingsand! That, and Shane's comment in the previous post of this article, well done both of you.

To be honest, those were pretty funny, so at least that's a good reason for the existence of this double post.
