That awful Heidi Collins woman on CNN Newroom just described nuclear proliferation as “a very serious topic.”
Really? Really Heidi, is it?
I am so thankful that you get paid a salary to be on television and to school me on such serious topics.
I really need to find something else to watch in the mornings.

Why You Should Care, and stuff.
So apparently CNN Newsroom (this is the one that is on when I am getting ready for work) now has a segment called, “Why You Should Care”.
Basically they do what television “news” does. They find two people who disagree about something and let them fight with each other. The CNN person acts like a referee, but thinks that she’s a journalist.
I only thought it was funny because of the segment name: Why You Should Care.
Is it the fault of CNN that we don’t? Or can I blame FOX NEWS for this somehow? Or are these jack-asses just trying to make a living?
I don’t know.
But this is a spot of bother for me. Normally I’m great at assigning blame!
Also, the two guys arguing with each other, they were arguing about whether or not the children of illegal immigrants should be allowed to apply for federal student aid to go to college.
One guy was all, if they can get into the damn school in the first place, let them go! They are basically Americans!
The other guy was all, they are taking the spots and the financial aid away from actual Americans!
At the very least, at least it was an interesting question.
Not really though. Of course we should let them go to school.
The difference between a Mexican immigrant today and an Irish immigrant of a hundred years ago, is just the law. If we had had these laws back then, you’re great-grandfather Irish McIrishson would have been illegal too. And you’re grandfather wouldn’t have been able to go to school.
Look CNN! You totally convinced me to care!

GET BETTER AT YOUR JOB!
Oh my god! I hate everyone.
Not really, just the media.
I’m watching CNN while I get ready for work and this anchorwoman was talking about this Conflicker Worm computer virus that was supposed to ravange the world.Well, the anchorwoman couldn’t pronounce it correctly. Why? You ask. Well possibly because it was the first time she had ever seen the word. You could tell because her face scrunched up and she squinted and leaned toward the teleprompter a little bit. SHE HAD NO IDEA WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT! She is not a journalist, just a head that looks nice and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks.
YOU are the reporter! YOU are CNN! YOU should know more about this crap then me! Jesus Christ.
And then, I changed the channel to Headline News and that awful, awful guy who does ‘Morning Express’ was talking about London and the IMF protests and since a story is not complete without a 3D Google map, he zoomed in over London and he was explaining to the viewers that the protests were talking place “next to that doo-dad” on the map.
Yeah. “doo-dad”.
I hate everyone (but not you).
P.S.
Literally, while I am logging in to post this, some jack-ass on “Morning Express” is now talking about the IMF stuff, but what is he talking about? He is choosing to focus on the fact that Obama dodged answering a question about some soccer tournament. Oh, did I mention that these idiots have not yet explained what the IMF is? Oh, and did I mention that the guy on the TV is doing his report in a fake British accent? Yeah.
