CNN, this is lousy journalism.
Wicked Wilma hitting Mexican tourist hotspot

This headline is on the CNN frontpage. Anthropomorphizing a hurricane? Please... Nature merely IS... it is neither good nor evil.

1. don't forget, this is the same network that has a "faith and values"
correspondent on staff.

on the other hand, lou dobbs has been forthright in pointing out the stupidities and sheer incompetence of this administration this week.

3. I like Louey...
I do believe he is biased, but his bias is against big corporations...so, its all good...:) I like Louey, he usually is on track, well, 50% of the time...but, wicked Wilma....sounds like an episode from the Flintstones....Wicked Wilma, beats Good Fred, while stupified Barney watches...:)

2. CNN reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live sketch
The Blind Ballet.

For those who forgot, a couple walks into a show entitled The Blind Ballet, and sits on the front row. The dancers stumble onto the stage. They are awful. A dancer leaps and is missed by a partner turned to the wrong side. Dancers collide with each other. They fall off the stage. Finally the man has had enough and yells "Stop! I can't take this anymore."

The dance troup leader asks "What's wrong, what's the problem?"

"Look, I know you guys are blind, and are trying really hard, and I support that, but you are awful."

"We're not blind," the dance leader says. "They are." He points to the audience.

CNN is Stupid Journalism. Unfortunately, many smart people have wandered into the audience to get their news, and are greatly disappointed.
