Based on similar signs at other rallies for folks of the same ilk, I strongly suspect that the, "are", sign was not photoshopped.
This may have been photographed at the same rally...http://politicalhumor.about.com/libr...arty-signs.htm

I think you have destroyed whatever tiny shred of faith I had left in humanity with that link.

Our district attorney on the inquest process into officer involved deaths which has been highly criticized as a cover-up factory:

Under the previous inquest system, nearly anyone and everyone involved in the incident, from civilian witnesses to the officers who contributed to the death, were called. Inquests sometimes lasted days. But under the new reviews, the witnesses are up to the prosecutor. District Attorney Steve Wolfson said key eyewitnesses might be called, but the intent is to limit the length of the hearings.
"We don't want to be too duplicitous," he said.


Maybe just a little duplicitous?

You can't make this stuff up.

I though Lasauyna was an ethnic dish, I was about to say, what is it. LOL! Never mind!

I have to admit that I never could have imagined that someone would be able to screw-up the spelling of impact to that extent.
But, then again, there does seem to a problem with some people in terms of distinguishing between an, "m", sound and an, "n", sound, and this seems to transfer from their spoken language to their writing.

In sort of a reverse of the gaffe shown above, I have seen several instances of people writing that they want someone's, "imput", on a particular issue.

Imput?
