More DuhNooz!… appropriately starting with CNN, which is still wasting a perfectly good cable channel. Ted Turner must be proud.
“It was October of 2004, the heat of the presidential campaign, when (Jon) Stewart showed up on “Crossfire,” long CNN’s flagship political program, and delivered a now-legendary tirade.
“Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America,” he told the hosts, Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson. He called them “political hacks.” He accused them of “helping the politicians and the corporations.” He compared their show to a professional wrestling match. “You’re doing theater,” he said, “when you should be doing debate.” (1)
Duh-h. Like it’s changed? They say it has, but who would know?
The Obamas enjoying Easter services at a small Washington AME church? “As Obama worshipped with 700 others for two hours, the parishioners and preachers made him a focal point of the service.

Duh-h! The celeb of celebs shows up and who gets worshiped?

“Many fear the relationship is only likely to become worse, as Mr. Karzai draws closer to allies like Iran and China, whose interests are often at odds with those of the West, and sounds sympathetic enough to the Taliban that he could spur their efforts, helping their recruitment and further destabilizing the country.”
It goes on: ““The political situation is continuing to deteriorate; Karzai is flailing around,” said a Western diplomat in Kabul with long experience in the region. “At the moment we are propping up an unstable political structure, and I haven’t seen any remotely plausible plan for building consensus.” (WP)
Wait. Isn’t this Obama’s war? And wasn’t he going to do it without making all the mistakes Bush did? Duh-h!
Give us a break! And here it is:
Most mammals laugh, scientists have found. Apes laugh, and dogs. Even uncute animals, such as rats. In fact, scientists have found, rats love laughing. And why shouldn’t they? “It’s joy, it’s positive engagement with life,” says Bowling Green University professor Jaak Panksepp, whose job it is to tickle them.
A university professor whose job it is to tickle rats? Need we even say the D word?
