The Absurd Report

Anyone who has read this website for a decent amount of time knows that I am a big fan of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. It just so happens Nino and I are of the same ethnic background so that makes us ethnic Sicilian cousins.

I feel that I am well qualified to define what the gesture means since I use it about 50 times a day as I read the Main Stream Media reports. (It helps to keep the blood pressure down.)

The gesture, which is done with a flick of the fingers underneath the chin, is a very old school Italian of flipping a person off. It can mean many different things, anywhere from “Who gives a Damn” to “F- off”. It’s all in the eyes of the beholder.

What started all the hub bub about was a female reporter from the Boston Herald asked Scalia a very stupid question and stupid got the gesture.

But what is really going on here is Nino is targeted by liberals because of conservative views and this is a typical example of the left to demonize him. The MSM is on a “Nino Watch.”

What I’m not sure of is did he make her cry?
