I have been remiss. I should have sent this Blog Posting as soon as I saw it in yesterday’s newspaper. Please forgive me.
On Sunday I published the silliness about the “Cease Fire” in The Ukraine... http://forii.blogspot.com/2014/09/glory-be-land-goshen-thank-heaven-cease.html
Then Monday I read the follow-up article that tries to reassure us that the “Cease Fire” is holding. Holding means, there is No Fighting Going On Anywhere... Or does it?
Actually what we are told is, “Kiev and the Kremlin said a cease-fire pact between pro-Russia rebels and Ukraine still held despite fighting in at least two cities in east Ukraine”
Would you like to analyze these words with the Smartfella?...
- The cease-fire is holding but there is still fighting.
- If the cease-fire were holding would that not necessitate there be no fighting?
As those shouting at us As Seen on TV Commercials say to us every day, “But wait! There’s more!”...
In the statement above we are told, “Despite fighting in at least two cities”. Do you not think “at least two cities” is pretty open ended? Three cities are more than at least two cities and so five cities or nine cities.
Guess we will have to wait for further breaking news to find out if it is two+ or five or nine or...?
Would I kid u?
