Think before you speak
Tuesday was a firestorm when Pat Robertson on Monday's 700 Club suggested that the United States assassinate Hugo Chavez, the ruler of Venezuela. It was all over every news source that I use. I didn't report it because it was old news. I mean, how could he top himself after suggesting that we nuke our own CIA?
The Bush Administration quickly distanced itself from such kooky right-wing remarks, something that a Democrat Administration would have a hard thing doing, because Democrats try to enamor themselves with their kooky fringes.
Well, even Pat Robertson has seen the light and apologized for his remarks. He is backtracking off his remarks, as he should.
I bring this up now as a clear example that you should think about what you are saying before you say it anywhere that other people can hear it. It saves yourself a lot of trouble later.
