YIHFS = FISHY, DROAH = HOARD, MOCHER = CHROME, GINTHK = KNIGHT — Giving us: FIYOARCRMIHT
Clue/Question: Offering their seats to seniors was a . . .
Answer: FORM OF “CHAIR–ITY“
(Nice pun. Some good clue words. And, good scrambling of the answer letters. The length of the answer threw me a bit in the beginning, but once you realize the pun the whole thing comes together. I wonder how many kids out there are really familiar with “chrome”? I mean like how most of us know it. If you Google it all you get is a bunch of self-serving links to a web-browser that they offer. At least Bing will bring you to a dictionary definition in its first page of results. The world just gets funnier by the moment! Have a good weekend, kids. Be good, do good.) — YUR

It’s really very simple. And, it’s something that millions of Americans have been asking for, for a very long time. Conduct an independent, non-partisan, impartial investigation of the events of 9/11/2001.
They did not treat the World Trade Center, or the Pentagon, or Shanksville PA as they should have – as a CRIME SCENE. No. President Bush and Co. decided it was much better to DECLARE WAR on the “systematic use of terror as a policy” in order to forego what is expected in a modern democratic society.
The “investigations” – if you can honestly call them that – that they did do were far from independent. They ignored many questions, and did not adequately answer many others. And, even these “investigations” were done under duress.
Instead of relying on the hollow rhetoric of Ahmadinejad’s remarks being “inexcusable”, “offensive”, and “hateful” – and walking out on his speech in a gesture of mock outrage – why not prove him wrong?
Maybe . . . because they can’t? It’s more likely that they just can’t afford for him to be proven correct.
