off the jury. And the judge said to me, "Can, you know,
can you tell the truth and be fair?" And I said, "That’s what
journalists do." And everybody in the courtroom laughed.
It was the most hurtful moment I think I’ve ever had.

I think that one's pretty funny especially with todays so obviously polarized news. Who is really reporting the whole story? By the way, I didn't go to bed until 3:30 am and now experiencing what I could only imagine,what feels like a hang over. At least I can be comforted in knowing there are many others like me at the moment due to the real stuff.
ReplyDeleteWow... that one is a classic- I laughed in between snorkel breaths...
