I had a post about what other things we could do with $700 billion than the bailout. This is a humor blog. CNN.com had a front page article of people suggesting things the government could do with $700 billion (mainly whines about how they should have it to pay off bills or it should be spent on handouts). CNN is supposed to be a serious news organization.
THERE’S NOT ACTUALLY SEVEN HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS SITTING AROUND WAITING TO BE SPENT, PEOPLE!
You think CNN might take a second to explain that. Yes, this whole bailout seems like a big boondoggle, but at least — theoretically — it’s actually an investment where the government could get its money back plus some. That’s quite different from spending money we don’t have on free candy.
Really, this shouldn’t be my job to explain this sort of thing.

It’s CNN for Pete’s sake. Of course you have to explain it. They’re journalists and liberals. What real world experience do they possibly have?
Stupid ‘tards.
Huh? How did I get a gravatar? Now I’m as confused as CNN and the people who watch it.
What’s so bad about buying candy on credit? I’m sure we’ll be included in the bail-out, so go buy a trailer full of Snickers right now!
Now, that be a mighty strange and wonderous gravatar! As it vaguely resembles C’thulhu, I will tolerate its unexpected appearance.
Hate to break it to ya, Frank, but it IS up to you. Spread the word throughout the Land, Frank. Hammer it into all the little trollheads, especially those wearing Jimmy’s itty-bitty troll shoes: It may be non-existent money, but it’s OUR non-existent money.
Wowsers! My gravatar is downright lewd! And fat! It must be GW’s fault.
Frank dude, it’s not your job to ‘splain it. Just to make fun of it. Let Dean or Hugh do the ‘splainin’.
At least CNN has enough gumption (or greed) to let Glenn Beck have a show.
Not as bad as mine. Now Ima hafta go fissit.
Shouldn’t News Organizations Try to Stop Stupidity?
Wait. Frank wants news organizations to stop his blog?
Why does my gravatar look like an asshead? Oh..
Most “news” organizations thrive on stupidity, so they wouldn’t dare try to stop it.
They can’t waste any precious resources on stopping stupidity. Brainwashing the masses is far too important.
CNN just announced they would stop being stupid. No more stupid stuff on the air, or on their Website
They will cease operations Sunday.
You can’t stop stupidity. You can only hope to keep it contained…preferably through punching liberals in their dumb monkey faces.
Haven’t y’all heard Journalism is dead, DOA, it’s an x-occupation, it is bereft of life, it’s joined the blooming choir invisible, it’s pushing up daisy’s.
Also stop with the Vogon poetry. I’m about to chew my arm off just to make it stop.
Well, I predict there will be fewer trolls now because they’re mesmerized by all the creative gravatar bugs showing up next to everyone’s comments. Even Boogy likes ’em. Way to go, Frank J.
Other things you shouldn’t have to do:
1. Tell people that swearing is impolite and to wash out their mouths with soap
2. Tell people that candy costs money – for all children candy is free and liberals are nothing but child-like in their beliefs (see Obambi, etc.)
3. Prevent people from punching hippies. It should be a national pastime – like badminton
Why do you think it’s called the Clinton News Network?
It’s possible there are more than four forces in the Universe:
Gravity
Electromagnetic Force
Weak Nuclear Force
Strong Nuclear Force
and…
The Stupid Force
May the Force be with you (or not).
Jimmy,
Hence the reason I always vote Sith. Screw the Jedi and their Stupid Force.
Of course, DesertElephant, one could argue that if there is a ‘Stupid Force’ then there must also be an ‘Intelligent Force.’ If that’s true, then I propose that God is a mathematician.
News organizations trying to stop stupidity? That’s called. . .suicide.
FrankJ wants the media to tell us about important things? I’m glad to see IMAO is still bringing teh funny!
sorry guys the reporters at cnn are proof ..YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID !!!!!
