Free Speech

Saw This-

"NEW YORK — A Pakistani immigrant who a prosecutor called "Hezbollah's man in New York City" has been sentenced to nearly six years in prison for airing the Lebanese militant group's television station."

We're not fans of Hezbollah, but don't we have "Free Speech" here any more?

"Reclaiming positions"


What is this "reclaiming positions" thing? Apparently, in this case, it means that teachers will be losing their jobs. "Reclaiming positions" is the local school board's terminology for lay-offs. And The Fuzz wonders why he gets confused about these things. Even the local reporter was thrown off the track by this. The Fuzz suspects that "They" do this sort of thing on purpose, but he does tend to be a bit paranoid at times. Anyway, we thought we'd mention this so if any of our loyal readers runs into this terminology, they won't be as confused as we were around here. So beware if you boss mentions "reclaiming your position".
