*******"From the well-chronicled wait time issues to quality of care concerns, there had been numerous setbacks in providing our veterans with the level of care they deserve. That is why, when the President and the senior leadership at the VA asked for our help, we gladly volunteered our time to do so." "As the emails released show, we were asked repeatedly by former [VA] Secretary [David] Shulkin and his senior staff, as well as by the President, to assist the VA and that is what we sought to do, period," the statement said. Democrats are on another snipe hunt. They hope you'll hold the bag for them and I'm sure you'd be honored to do so. IP: Logged |

Who said I don't think 'snipes' are real? Of course 'snipes' are real birds. But who would 'actually' hunt snipes?"A snipe hunt is a type of practical joke or fool's errand, in existence in North America as early as the 1840s[citation needed], in which an unsuspecting newcomer is duped into trying to catch a nonexistent animal called a snipe. Although snipe are an actual family of birds, a snipe hunt is a quest for an imaginary creature whose description varies. The target of the prank is led to an outdoor spot and given instructions for catching the snipe; these often include waiting in the dark and holding an empty bag or making noises to attract the creature. The others involved in the prank then leave the newcomer alone in the woods to discover the joke. As an American rite of passage, snipe hunting is often associated with summer camps and groups such as the Boy Scouts. In France, a similar joke is called "hunting the dahut". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipe_hunt IP: Logged |
