    Knives Kill 50% In Santa Barbara Massacre MSM downplays - and even outright ignores

    Knives Kill 50% In Santa Barbara Massacre

    MSM downplays - and even outright ignores - this glaring fact in its latest push for gun control

    During a mass rampage in Santa Barbara, California late Friday night, the son of a Hollywood director reportedly killed six people, half of whom he stabbed to death in his apartment.




    Anti-gun media pundits and politicians, however, have downplayed this glaring fact and instead focused on the gun used in the tragedy in yet another push to eradicate the Second Amendment.



    In an article entitled Gun-Control Debate Heats Up Following California Shooting, Time.com completely omitted any reference to the knives used in the killings as of this writing.

    “Police have identified Elliot Rodger as the suspect believed to be responsible for Friday’s atrocity, killing three men in his apartment before shooting another three people to death,” the article states, whitewashing the fact that the three men were stabbed.

    By reading the article in its entirety, one would falsely assume that every victim was shot.

    Likewise, a panel discussion on the TV program Good Day LA this morning practically ignored the stabbings while arguing that the rampage will “renew” the push for gun control.

    And Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) called on Congress to revisit gun control legislation, claiming that it will “stop the madness and end the insanity.”

    Of course there’s no similar push for “knife control” because it simply does not fit the overall agenda to disarm the population entirely.

    Simply put, a disarmed public is defenseless to predatory governments, a fact that is proven over and over again in so many third-world countries around the world.

    “When government fears the people, there is liberty,” Thomas Jefferson so eloquently stated. “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”

    As for now, there’s no doubt that the anti-gun movement will once again try to use the “mental health” angle to reduce firearm ownership, which is quite alarming considering that the guidebook used by psychologists to classify mental disorders, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), is so broad that practically any form of human behavior could be attributed to some type of mental illness.

    This will simply lead to many Americans losing their gun rights despite not having any violent tendencies whatsoever.

    Gun control only leads to the outright ban of private gun ownership.

    Elliot Rodger may have used machetes and hammer to murder house-mates in 'killing chamber'

    The California mass shooter believed to have targeted room-mate over theft of three candles as friends say "heartbroken" parents had him in therapy from age of eight

    Cheng Yuan Hong, one of the victims killed by Elliot Rodger

    By By Nick Allen, Isla Vista
    6:50PM BST 26 May 2014

    The crazed killer who murdered six in a quiet California university town is believed to have used a machete and hammer to slaughter his first three victims in an apartment he planned to turn into a “personal torture and killing chamber”.

    One of the victims Cheng Yuan Hong, 20, an engineering student from Taiwan, was a room-mate Elliot Rodger had accused of stealing three candles worth $22 from him in January.

    At the time Rodger, 22, attempted a citizen’s arrest over the alleged theft and called police but Mr Hong was released. Friends of Mr Hong said he was planning to move out at the end of the semester because Rodger was “strange”.

    Two machetes, a hammer and a knife, were among the items removed from the ground floor corner apartment they shared behind a row of palm trees at the Capri complex in Isla Vista.

    In a 141-page manifesto Rodger had described how he intended to use the hammer to knock out his room-mates and then slit their throats a day before launching his gun massacre.

    Related Articles



    He had saved more than $5,000 in pocket money sent to him by his parents and grandmothers, which he used to buy at least three semi-automatic handguns and more than 400 rounds of ammunition. After doing so he wrote: “Who’s the alpha male now?” A neighbour at the Capri said Rodger had been hospitalised with an injured ankle after being pushed off a ledge in a fight in July.
    The neighbour said: “He was so emotional with like water faucets coming out down in his cheeks for half an hour. I’ve never seen anybody that mad. He said ’I’m gong to kill all of them I’m going to kill myself’. I don’t know if that’s what set the plan in motion.”
    He described once taking Rodger to a party but he was “like a ghost” and ’just stared at people”.
    According to his manifesto Rodger developed an irrational hatred of several blonde women. They included the first girl he had a “crush” on at the age of 14, who grew up to be a model, and the first girl he was friends with as a child who also became a “popular” person. They have declined to comment.
    Minutes before opening fire in central Isla Vista, Rodger emailed his manifesto to 30 people including his parents, therapists and former teachers. It is believed he may have already killed the three men in his house by then.
    One of the therapists immediately telephoned Rodger’s mother Chin Rodger.
    He said “Have you gotten Elliot’s email? I think you should see it.” The time was 9.17pm on Friday, about 13 minutes before the massacre began.
    She telephoned her husband Peter Rodger, assistant director of the Hunger Games films, from whom she is divorced. He was out to dinner but they both began racing from Los Angeles to Isla Vista in separate cars. Both heard details of the massacre on their car radios.
    Simon Astaire, a family friend, said their son had been seeing therapists since the age of eight, including virtually “every day” while at high school.
    He said: “What more could they have done? They are going through indescribable grief dealing with the loss of their son. His parents were conscious and concerned about their son’s health. They thought he was in good hands.”
    Mr Astaire said Rodger, who was believed to have Asperger’s but had not been diagnosed, was “reserved to a daunting degree” and “fundamentally withdrawn”, but seemed to have “no affinity to guns whatsoever”.
    Other friends of Peter Rodger said he was “heartbroken” and “did everything he could”, including engaging top specialists, but his son turned his back on therapy as an adult and refused to take medication.
    Police visited him at the Capri on April 30 after being alerted by his mother to disturbing videos on YouTube. But officers had not watched the videos and did not search the apartment.
    Mr Astaire said: “That was a pivotal moment, in hindsight. It was pivotal because the apartment was full of guns.”
    The Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Department has launched an internal investigation. But Sheriff Bill Brown said because Rodger had not been institutionalised for mental heath issues and had no criminal record, they had not had the power to take further action.
    He said: “The sheriff’s deputies found him to be shy, polite and well spoken. He said it was a misunderstanding and had a convincing story.” In his manifesto Rodger said he felt a “wave of relief” as they left Jenni Rodger, an aunt of Rodger’s living in France, said: “He was always a disturbed child. I don’t know how he was allowed to get a gun. Something has to be done about gun laws in America. Pete is absolutely broken. He is such a sensitive being. I can’t see how he’ll ever recover.”
    Others who received the manifesto by email included Cathleen Bloeser, 58, mother of Rodger’s childhood friend Paul Bloeser.
    She said: “We could see that he was turning. He’d changed emotionally and he’d become very despondent and he wanted to get back at people.”

    Elliot Rodger died like he lived: Surrounded by people frightened and repulsed by the sight of him:



    Correction: It's a "Murder-Spree" by a "Nut-Job".. Thanks. - Joe For America
    Elliot Rodger had planned an entire day of murder and would have gone on...
    joeforamerica.com

    Correction: It Was a “Murder-Spree” by a “Nut-Job”… Thanks.

    Posted by Joe Wurzelbacher on May 26, 2014 in 2nd Amendment, liberalism

    BMW? He must have tried to shoot people with it. Damn NRA probably sold it to him..

    Elliot Rodger planned an entire day of murder and he would have gone on killing, except somebody showed up with a gun. Not until then did it end.
    Despite the stabbings, attempted murder by driving a vehicle on the sidewalk into people and obvious mental insanity – the mainstream media is still reporting this as a “shooting” by a “gunman.”
    Wasn’t it a “murder-spree” by a “nut-job”?
    If I were more like Salon.com, HuffPo, MSNBC, Daily Kos, the NY Times, or the others in the media, I guess I’d describe the mass murders in Southern California carried out by Elliot Rodger like this:
    “The multiple revenge-slaughters of hetero-sexual men and women in liberal Santa Barbara, has this Democrat majority seaside community still in shock. A completely nuts, obsessed and some say “gay weirdo” 22-year-old virgin named Elliot Rodger (from a Hollywood family) – armed with a knife and out to kill men and women attracted to each other, but not him – stabbed his male-only roommate partners before mowing over innocent people on the sidewalks with his German auto.
    Seven people are dead so far in this Democrat-run, pro-gun control, gated community where the only people of color clean pools, cut lawns, vote Democrat, nanny for limosine liberals and occasionally go on a biat-shiite crazy murdering rampage.
    California voters went for Barack Obama twice in overwhelming numbers and elected Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown as Governor, who signed sweeping restrictions on Second-Amendment rights for lawful gun owners. Elliot Rodger – clearly an Occupy wannabe – died like he lived: Surrounded by people frightened and repulsed by the sight of him..”
    Right? Liberals have been vehemently blaming their favorite targets, if you will, for the psychopathic killings of one Elliot Rodger with absolutely no shame and less facts.
    The usual leftists and gun-grabbers wasted no time blaming this disturbed kid’s killing spree on the proliferation of guns, misogyny, Republicans, “men’s rights” groups, bullying, conservatives, the NRA, lobbyists and the Tea Party.

    Because Elliot Rodger, who described himself as “The perfect guy,” included coeds among the seven dead in his rampage – the pious disciples of never letting a crisis go to waste – even added an old favorite to their feigned outrage after mass shootings: “The War on Women” continues, unabated!
    I watched Elliot Rodger’s YouTube videos where he lament’s his horrific life of being young and living in a seaside paradise. For the most part, he blames his misery on young, pretty women who he says were not attracted to him, despite him being “The supreme gentleman”:
    “Girls, all I’ve ever wanted was to love you and to be loved by you. I’ve wanted sex. I’ve wanted love, affection, adoration. You think I’m unworthy of it. That’s a crime that can never be forgiven. If I can’t have you girls, I will destroy you.”
    Yikes! Bad, bad, bad, Elliot and yes, more than a little nutty..
    However, I have a slightly different take than your average Salon.com Jr. Psychologist on what may have drove him to not just shoot some coeds, but stab his roommates, drive his Beamer up the sidewalk into random people walking and riding bikes, shoot into crowds, at police, etc.
    Watch these videos and read his ramblings: Am I the only one who hears and sees a troubled male unable to accept his homosexuality? No, I’m not actually.
    Listen all you budding “perfect men” out there looking to hook up: I’m no psyche major, but making videos with a message essentially saying; “No one wants to have sex with me so I’m gonna kill all of you” is no way to lose your virginity, my homies. Rodger also says in his final video that he’s 22 and never had sex or even been kissed? There’s a surprise.
    I don’t think many women are sexually attracted to a guy whose voice sets off their gaydar every time they open their mouth. Also – the first thing women look for is not an evil laugh and homicidal tendencies, either. I said “homicidal” but if you read something else – fine, whatever.
    The minute I heard about another murder spree, I thought “I can’t wait for the gun grabbers to blame this kid’s crimes on intimate objects, not the mentally insane.” But oh, no – the left is going even further – it’s also the fault of misogynists united!
    Just being a man, being attracted to women, wanting them to be attracted to us or doing anything associated with manliness, maleness, testosterone, heterosexuality or *gasp* conservative causes drove this poor young man to wage the ultimate War on Women!

    It had nothing to do with the rampant sexualization of children being bombarded into kids by MTV, movies, commercials, music and every other opportunity nowadays putting pressure on children to engage in sex to keep up with their peers.
    No, it’s the Republicans and their damned Bill of Rights that caused him to it.
    Funny, if you ask someone in the business of making films if they believe movies can inspire people to do good things – their faces will light up!
    They’ll state proudly, “Of course – that’s why I want to make movies – to change the world for the better!” (or something to that effect – you get the basic idea).
    But ask if movies can inspire people to do bad things – they’ll crunch up their faces and look at you like you’re about to drive your Beamer up on the sidewalk: “Of course not! Life doesn’t imitate art! That’s the parents fault! It’s society! Republicans! Guns! Why, I… um, how dare you! It’s those … hey, look – cat videos!

    The reason I bring that up is not because Elliot Rodger’s dad was a second unit director on the movie “Hunger Games,” but because the incident reminds me of “American Pie” when it first hit theaters and the trailer was on TV. Stick with me for a second:
    I wonder if this whole thing isn’t Elliot Rodger’s mom’s fault for not having an apple pie handy whenever her spoiled brat got the uncontrollable urge. Isn’t that the solution right there on the kitchen counter?
    Call me an old coot, but when I was growing up, being a virgin at 22 wasn’t exactly a reason to go shooting up the place unless you’re out of your mind knowing you’re going to be a virgin forever when it comes to women. With the emphasis on “you’re out of your mind.”
    Lot of people knew damn well Elliot Rodger was “a serial killer in the making” – even his parents alerted police who came to check in on him. Elliot confided his entire plan would be found out if only the police would have searched his room. He even contemplated shooting cops if they caught on.
    On a bodybuilding web forum Rodgers posted vile things about women, but refused the help of fellow site members who were concerned about him. Seems like everyone tried and failed Elliot – who refused help at every turn. Of course the police can’t really ask about the crazy stuff because that’s not PC.. or legal. Don’t want to run afoul of the lefties, concerned with the privacy of the criminally insane.

    Folks: Guns aren’t our problem, mentally ill people are – no matter what the looney-left is screaming about in the headlines now. They’re always wrong right after these shootings, blaming it on the Tea Party or Sarah Palin or now, the War on Women and misogyny.
    While we’re on the subject, it’s not only moi who’s suggesting this kid hated his own feelings of sexuality because they might have been for males and not females (not that there’s anything Seinfeld with that).
    But what is the left going to say when it comes out – when it’s a gay thing, not a men’s group or misogyny or a War on Women at all? Just what will the intolerant, gun-obsessed, anti-Capitalist, anti-liberty, fascist-Lite going to say then?… Simple – they’ll say nothing.
    It’s weird how the left doesn’t even care that it looks stupid all the time.
    Take ObamaCare (please): How stupid does anybody look who voted for, or supports this thing? You’d think anyone would be apologizing like mad and saying at the very least, “hey, we just need to fix it – it’s good intentioned” or something.

    No, they keep saying it’s great. They don’t care how frickin’ stupid they look as long as there’s a group of folks even stupider to be there and clap, or people just scared or ignorant.
    Have you ever heard a liberal say, “You know that time that guy that shot all those people? He turned out not to be a Tea Party guy – he was just nuts but the fact that he voted for Obama is irrelevant..” No.
    They don’t care if they look utterly dumb-ass Pelosi-retardo.
    She’s an idiot, by the way. Have you ever met her and heard her try to have a conversation? Do you realize that Nancy Pelosi was third in line at one point? Man-o-Manischewitz …
    I truly could give a rat’s ass if Elliot Rodger was gay – to me it’s obvious he hated himself the most. He hated his sexual desires, clearly. Tell me I’m wrong about that and you’re an idiot. Watch and listen to his “Retribution” YouTube rants and get back to me. Now back to liberals and their phony BS: Here’s some of those nasty things we conservatives call “Facts”:
    1. Elliot Rodger bought all of his ammunition, guns and magazines legally. He passed the requisite “background check” for each gun and had no magazines that would hold more than 10 rounds.
    … Boy does that Gun Control Shiite work, or what?? Congratulations Jerry Brown! Mission accomplished!
    2. The first three people Rodger killed were A. Male and B. Stabbed…
    … Kind of (pinky to mouth) puts a hole in the misogyny / gun causation theory.
    3. Used his BMW as a weapon in an attempt to kill random people on the sidewalk.
    … see above pinky to mouth thing.
    4. In his manifesto, Rodger said he planned to run people over, stab them, and shoot them, killing as many as he could.
    … pre-meditated randomness – not targeted war on women with evil gun.
    5. Rodger would have continued, but – some brave, dare I say “macho” males with loaded guns finally arrived – the police – and used guns to stop the rampage (Mr. Elliot shoots himself in the head).

    Makes ‘ya wonder what woulda happened if the first person he encountered pulled out a conceal and carry?
    Maybe the hospital that night would only have had to clean a soiled pair of 22-year-old’s underwear, instead of all that blood?

    Dems Ignore Three Stabbing Deaths, Seize On Three Shooting Deaths in Santa Barbara



    by AWR Hawkins 25 May 2014 229 post a comment
    Many Democrats – Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) among them – have shamelessly attacked the NRA and pushed for more gun control in the wake of the heinous May 23 Santa Barbara attacks. To do this they have seized on three shooting deaths but completely ignored three stabbing deaths, although stabbing deaths are far more personal – requiring the killer to be very close to his victims.

    On May 24 Breitbart News reported that attacker Elliot Rodger stabbed three people to death "in his residence" before getting into his car to shoot and kill three persons, wound seven others, and run down four others with his car.
    After all these various forms of attack, Roll Call reports that Sen. Feinstein is "lamenting the 'stranglehold' the NRA has over gun laws" and Sen. Blumenthal is calling on Congress to take up the Senate's failed gun control bill and pass it.
    Media outlets like CNN are right there with these senators, describing the heinous and criminal shooting and killing of three people as a "mass shooting" – a move which plays into the left's overall push to swell the number of reported "mass shootings" so those reports can then be used as leverage for more gun control.
    Rodger did shoot and kill three people, and the fact that those three people are deceased is horrible. But he also took a far more personal action in stabbing and killing three people "in his residence" before he shot anyone, and the act of stabbing them in this way is savage.
    Why aren't the three people who were killed with a knife important enough for Democrats to rally around?

    Washington Doesn't Have the Answers to Our Cultural Problems

    May 28, 2014


    Windows Media

    BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
    RUSH: We go to Traverse City, Michigan. This is Brenda. Thank you for calling and for waiting and being patient. Hi.
    CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thank you for taking my call.
    RUSH: You bet.
    CALLER: I wanted to discuss the Elliot Rodger situation, and I simply want to point out that something I think the liberal media will happily avoid, and that is that this is what happens when children are not parented. I think his parents should be held responsible. Obviously he's responsible for what he did, but his parents are also responsible because I think he was neglected, to say the least. I think he was probably also abused. And, you know, I think that they just happily continued on with their lives.
    RUSH: What do you mean, abused? What are you thinking happened to him?
    CALLER: I scanned over his manifest last evening, and one incident really stood out. When he entered his father's home to get a drink of water, his stepmother ordered him to exit and to ring the doorbell. He went ahead and started to drink his water, evidently, and she smashed the glass out of his hand and it shattered on the floor. The father appeared when he heard the glass shattering, and he ordered him out of the house. Evidently he was supposed to ring the doorbell and enter properly. I mean, that's ridiculous.
    RUSH: Well that sounds like the father afraid of the mother.
    CALLER: Exactly, and that's the power play that goes on in this country. We have kids getting shipped off to day care. We have kids getting --
    RUSH: Well, you know, there have been incidents like this that have come up, Brenda, and every time -- not every time, but oftentimes somebody will suggest, "The parents played a role here. We really need to consider how the child was raised and maybe the parents..." A lot of times when that happens, people say, "Wait a minute. You can't start getting off on that tangent of the parents are responsible or share some of the blame 'cause the kid did what he did."
    BREAK TRANSCRIPT
    RUSH: I made a slight error, ladies and gentlemen. It was not Elliot Rodger's father but one of the victim's fathers who said, "When are the politicians gonna do something about this?" That means, "When are the politicians gonna get rid of the guns?" Elliot Rodger's father, I don't know that he's spoken publicly about the incident, but he has blamed the NRA and lack of gun control laws before.
    However there aren't any existing or proposed gun control laws that would have stopped Elliot Rodger. If I'm not mistaken... I hope I'm not committing a minor error again, but I think this kid passed three background checks, one for each gun that he bought. He didn't need any large-capacity magazines, which are already illegal in California. The family had called the cops on their son but it was too late.
    They went to his apartment and questioned him, but it went nowhere. But still, this reflex to turn to politicians in Washington? Now, I understand the utter emptiness, sadness, rage, anger that parents in a situation like this have. I guess, you know, I understand human nature and wanting to turn to the source of all authority. But it isn't me. "When is the government gonna...?"
    It's just the opposite. I don't view it that way.
    There's nothing in my life I want to turn over to the government, that I think they can do better than I can do myself, other than the US military. Of course, I don't want to build my own roads and stuff like that. Obviously. But I'm talking about just the personal aspects of life and having some central authority that you think is going to end sadness, that can deal with it? Let's face it, folks: It is a creeping problem. We've got dingbats calling 911 when McDonald's doesn't have any McNuggets, and some of them think they're calling Washington. It's an amazing thing.
    Here's Dave in Indianapolis. Hi, Dave. Glad you called, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.
    CALLER: (garbled) Rush, it's a real pleasure to talk to you. Thank you for taking my call. I think I've got a thread that will run through the entirety of what you've been talking about since the start of the show, multiple issues.
    RUSH: Okay.
    CALLER: I believe a primary responsibility of parenting, a foundational responsibility, is for the parents of a child to be the restraint, to be the molders of that child's mind in what's right and what's wrong and to be there in the way of them harming others and harming themselves, and to train them, raise them up in how they are supposed to behave to understand right and wrong and to be in the way until that child grows to the point of being a responsible adult.
    RUSH: Don't you understand that, in the modern era, what you just described equals retarding your child's growth? (angrily) "You are limiting your child's experiences and exposure to opportunity and life as it really exists in this country! You can't stop them from experiencing the excrement as much as they want. It's out there, and it's better that they find it. You can't do all that!"
    CALLER: Yes, it's my responsibility to do so, and I think one of the key problems that we have in society is the undermining and destruction and the emasculation of males, the destruction of the family, and in particular targeting the father in the proper role a father's supposed to have. I'm not suggesting that a child can't not turn out correctly. If there are problems with the family, I understand completely it does happen.
    RUSH: Don't forget, now --
    CALLER: But the proper --
    RUSH: In this case, don't forget that this kid's parents, they knew there was something wrong. I don't know. They said... (interruption) Yeah, he was seeing a therapist since age eight. But, you know, there are people who think that is its own problem, all these therapy babies. What are they told in therapy? They're told they're invincible. They're told their self-esteem is paramount, that they have a right to love themselves and to put themselves first and to be concerned about themselves and so forth.
    CALLER: And I believe a study was done some years ago, and they were evaluating where one could find some of the highest tested levels of self-esteem. Do you remember that study?
    RUSH: Yeah. I do remember that. Absolutely I do remember that.
    CALLER: Do you know where they found the highest levels of self-esteem? Prison. They found it in prison. I think it is the entitlement mentality. I think it is the lack of personal initiative and responsibility, the lack of personal accountability that is not taught to children today that is the reason for the man babies that we've got in our society.
    RUSH: Okay.
    CALLER: I mean, not everybody's going to go into a school and do what, God forbid, happened in Sandy Hook. I grieve for those patients. But that family was a train wreck. I think when you combine someone who has some problematic wiring with a dysfunctional family, you end up with what happened in California.
    RUSH: Let me ask you a question about something you said about the emasculation of males, because there are a lot of people who would think you're on to something there. One of the e tenets of modern-era feminism -- which, you know, you trace back to the early seventies -- is that men are predators, that men are beasts. Look at the hashtags on Twitter today. Not all men are like this guy, they say, but women face this threat from men every day of their lives. It is a Twitter hashtag. It already has a million whatevers, and it's growing.
    CALLER: I would say that that is a huge problem, and it is a symptom. I think the root cause goes back to men, the emasculation of them, and the lack of teaching boundaries and proper treatment of women and proper respect for women, from the father and mother.
    RUSH: Well, perhaps. Look, a lot of people agree with you. For example I have a little story that I found, of all places, on one of my tech blogs yesterday. Listen to this. "Study Finds Lonely Women Use Facebook All the Time -- Those who over-share on Facebook may be dissatisfied with real life. According to a new study from Charles Sturt University in New South Wales, Australia, women who consider themselves to be lonely or depressed are more willing to disclose information through the social network.
    "The study, titled 'Self-disclosure on Facebook among female users and its relationship to feelings of loneliness,' found that 79% of users who admit to being 'lonely' disclosed personal information, like their favorite books and movies on Facebook. The figure is higher compared to 65% of other users. According to Market Watch, 98% of lonely Facebook users shared their relationship status publicly, as opposed to restricting the information to friends."
    Ninety-eight percent!
    Practically all of the women on Facebook who considered themselves unhappy are just volunteering every piece of data about themselves.
    Modern-era feminism has been a poison in many ways. You look at The Vagina Monologues, renowned Broadway play, and it's all rooted in the predatory, brutish potential of men. And remember the fake survey that the media trumpeted and everybody believed for a short period of time, that Super Bowl Sunday saw the most violence against women of any day of the year. And that's when men are doing what? Sitting there getting drunk, eating snacks, drinking beer, watching the now brutal game of football and, when things didn't go right, taking it out on their long-suffering, poor victim wives. And it turned out to be a totally bogus survey, just totally made up, by a group of people with connections to some feminist fundraising outfit.
    And so the chickification of the culture, there's no question it's happening. In fact, I read -- I don't know how much of this is true, there's so much out there -- I read that one of the reasons that Pinch Sulzberger got rid of Jill Abramson was that she was hiring women in every key editor, managerial position she could. She was slowly but surely getting rid of all the men in the department. I can't remember where I read that. (interruption) Right, right, it was the New York Times, that's exactly right, that's where it was. Anyway, I appreciate the call, Dave.
