The dozens of men and woman [living in Cuba and] wanted by the U.S. range from quotidian Medicaid fraud suspects to black militants and Puerto Rican nationalists with major bounties on their heads.Really, guys?

(Quotidian:
1: occurring every day
2 a : belonging to each day : everyday
b : commonplace, ordinary

ReplyDeleteNo controversy there, but I'll bet that a majority of people who read that story (and, for that matter, any other AP story) accepted it as fact without analyzing what agendas were behind the writing of the story.

The majority of people who read that probably wondered why those fraud suspects weren't just deported back to Quotidia.

ReplyDeleteI know that word. Don't think I've ever used it. Now I know what it means, at least for the next 15 minutes. After that it is very liable to return to meaning one of those quota people, which I am sure is a very bad thing.
