the media finally steps up and does it's tough journalistic job

the hard-hitting Obama golf story.

this singular story which i have heard 20 or 30 times on my teevee.

the couple was informed when they booked the wedding that being 'bumped' was a possibility.

the golf course is on a military base.....

the couple didn't mind one bit!

a few of the 'google' nearly 6 million headlines:
