I was looking at television tonight, the PBS news in particular, and the guy said "the price of oil rose today on speculation that a bailout plan for the banks might be forthcoming". A couple days ago the same guy said "the price of oil rose today on speculation that the bailout plan might be delayed".
What the hell does all this stuff mean? Nobody seems to bother questioning these contradictions.
"Good evening viewers. Monday's fears of the rabies outbreak with the local dog population sent the price of dogfood skyrocketing. Today's news that not a single dog in town actually has rabies pushed the price of dogfood to record levels".
