LEE'S LIES, Part 1

This is the kind of CRAP that burns my gaskets:

TALK OF THE DAY

Anything you wouldn’t do on June 6, 2006?
By Kurt Greenbaum

Much has been made of Tuesday’s date: 06/06/06. Six-six-six. The so-called “mark of the beast.”

I did a Google search looking for some stories related to Tuesday’s date. I’d heard, for example, that some women in England were timing their deliveries to avoid the date. My Google search — for “666″ — yielded 116 million returns. Better try again, eh? So here’s the story from The Sun.

Post-Dispatch reporter Tim Townsend found no such hysteria in his story on Sunday. Instead, he reports that in fact, the number 666, “the number of the beast, has absorbed meanings its author (of Revelation) never intended.” It isn’t necessarily a satanic symbol.

Still, none of that has stopped the producers of The Omen remake from releasing the movie on Tuesday (look for our review of the movie here when it’s available).

How about you? Does 666 mean anything to you? Will it stop you from doing anything? Will it cause you to do something you wouldn’t normally do?

THIS IS NOT NEWS. IT'S CRAP.
What's worse is that the Editorial staff at the Post Digrace chose to put this "Story" ON THE FRONT PAGE OF SUNDAY'S NEWSWATCH SECTION. No, there was no analyis of say, the Enron conviction, the 2006 election cycle, Taum Sauk, Blunt's lobbyit ties or Paul Harris leaving his staff, etc.
In other words, NOTHING RELEVANT TO REAL PROBLEMS.
Well, I guess I shouldn't expect TOO much from this hack company that doesn't realize the Post is supposed to be a major metropolitan newspaper instead of a podunk panderfest...
LIES.
