It is quite weird to read news about alleged wrongdoers - kidnappers, shooters, molesters, rapists, terrorists, politicians, sportstars, clergy etc.
Allegedly has become cliche - and I am not just alleging. News media also seem confused since the headline is about an alleged shooter but by the time you read the story underneath - the alleged perp (or perpetrator which is not an allegement but a fact) is definitively the wrongdoer and is declared dead. So why allege when simply calling him the shooter would do?
Who's ass are these weak reporters trying to protect? Even in a situation as plain as daylight the commentary is about the alleged gunman. What is this nonsense?
Then there are moronic tales of vigils being held - what are these events? Are they in cahoots with the candles lobby? In a country where power outages are typically restricted to large scale sports events the candle makers have a tough time peddling their crop. Enter the vigils. Any dimwit with no job is available to at a momments notice show up for one at the corner of podunk and dizzy to put on a mourning expression and hold a stupid candle in a cup.
I bet 90% of these candle holders are clueless as to what they are doing. Other than checking out a possible date. Allegedly!
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
What the candle-makers need to do is to get creative, so their market is not restricted to vigils. For example, gold candles with wax coating can be smuggled into India to satiate the huge demand for Aurum.
