a bit much

i'm listening to NPR and there was a report about the naming of some grizzly bears somewhere in CA. apparently, the zoo had an auction to allow the highest bidder to name the bears. i think the top bid was $40,000. now there's an uproar, because there had originally been a lottery type deal and a bunch have people have already sent their info to win. so, there's a question of fairness and they've dubbed this situation...Grizzlygate.

i supose it's clever to some. certainly not original. sort of the obvious choice, but really, a dispute as to the fairness of a chance to name a couple of grizzly bears is far different that implicating the president of the united states in breaking into the democratic headquaters to, essentially, spy on them for political gain. bear named Jude v. Larry or abuse of power and commission of crimes but the highest ranking official in the country. i don't know. they just don't really compare.

man people certainly love hyperbole.
