    Uhhh, you realize "Obama spends 0 days on the golf course in his first 85 days" is a nothing burger, right? Further, you realize that "Obama spends too much time on the golf course," - when he spent less than half the time on vacation time that his predecessor, George W. Bush, spent, is also a nothing burger, right?

    And lastly, since you've shown for years here your obvious grasp of how the news media works, you know that "The President, who criticized his predecessor for spending time on the golf course, has spent 18 of his first 85 days in office on a golf course" is newsworthy, right?

    GTFOH.

    I denounce it to this day. Bureaucrat-speak all the way.

    I used to feel the same way. Stephen Fry made me rethink things.

    Geez, can't you let YankeeFan bask in his glow of correcting a poster's grammar term for more than 54 minutes?

    I went the first 55 years and 9 months of my life having neither heard nor seen the term "nothing burger."

    Seen it about 1,542 times in the past 4 months.

    So if he's on a golf course for part of a day, you count it as 24 hours?

    BTW, where's dq?

    Probably back tomorrow or sometime this week at the latest. Think he gave us up for Lent again.

    I wonder how much the USG is paying Trump to rent space for Trump's staffers when Trump visits Trump properties.

    I'm sure it is far less than the hundreds of thousands of dollars it surely spent on air pumps and Gold Bond just so Obummer could play his precious hoopy rings.
