CNN: NUMBER ONE IN NEWS
Sometimes the headlines on the front of cnn.com will have some dumb entertainment headlines–Paris Hilton engaged or George Clooney stubs toe or whatnot–but I cut ‘em some slack because they say they’re entertainment news as well, so.
But there’s really no excuse for this being their top feature story:
With all the crap that’s been going on recently, is a slow news day even possible? Lookit all the subarticles there, it’s like they called Madonna Day at CNN’s web office.
globeandmail.com : “Superhighway” term no longer in vogue
No, seriously, they’re just getting around to reporting this:
globeandmail.com : Google geeks drop a bomb on Mr. Bush
“Before Google fixes it”? If they haven’t worked anything out in the last three years, I don’t think they’re in a rush.
Why? Okay, WHY.
I know I’ve asked this question before, but why, O Lord, does anybody pay attention to this woman?
Media Matters - Coulter on Sen. Chafee: “They Shot the Wrong Lincoln”
Don’t answer that question. Answer this one: is there an equivalent loony for the Left? Someone who regularly says in interviews that conservative politicians should be killed? I wanna know how a “liberal-controlled media” could allow Coulter to continue. And you couldn’t even say “she’s part of the Liberal agenda by showing how ridiculous the Right is” at this point. Big corporations aren’t that subtle. If the Left had control of the media, she’d be a flight attendant, at best.
Cow squeezin’s
christ. Okay, once we get past the comedy of Rush Limbaugh saying we get butter from the squeezin’s of cow gizzards or whatever, this “the Left is to blame for obesity” just pisses me off. That’s what happens when you look at everything through one lens, everything’s about politics. The Left is not responsible for obesity in America, you dolt, human nature plus the free market is responsible for obesity in America.
And even forgetting that idiocy: yeah, Rush, that’s the problem we’re inflicting on the poor: we’re just feeding them too damn much. They’re poor and desperate because our hearts are just too big. How’s anyone ever gonna get off welfare if they’re stuck in their trailers while armed federal agents shove sausage and biscuits and gravy down their throats.
I don’t have the fortitude required to watch the video in that story. Someone gotta tell me if it’d piss me off as much as I think it would.
Edit: Rush has the full transcript on his own website. Sheese, even Nagin had the sense to backpedal from Chocolate City.
Great, NPR is interviewing astrologers now
What with Pluto losing its planetness, now apparently NPR is letting us know that we might have to return those 39c astrology scrolls we bought on the counter at Wawa.
CNN’s Most Popular Video

See, now, if she said “shit” while saying Syria controls Hezbollah, maybe we’d have something.
That’s been CNN’s Most Popular Video yesterday and today. Lebanon doesn’t even come up until #4.
