Ed Rasimus said...: Maybe you need to tweak your Pulse feeds? But, probably just the same on all the MSM outlets. Gotta prioritize and latch on to what's important. At least Britney, Lindsay and Paris weren't involved.; 4:22 PM, July 18, 2011

Sadly, that was straight from CNN.com's front page this AM...

Oy, veh!; 5:04 PM, July 18, 2011

Murphy's Law said...: Because you all invoked the names...

Q. Britney, Lindsay, Paris, Casey Anthony and that Justin Bieber kid were all riding in a car when the car was struck by a speeding freight train and completely demolished. Who was saved?

A. America!

Oh--and Cheap Trick is still around? What county fair or or grocery store grand opening were they playing at?; 7:59 PM, July 18, 2011

Hat Trick said...: @Murphy's Law - good one. Cheap Trick was playing the Ottawa Blues Festival (Ottawa, Canada not Illinois) They're still big in the Midwest. I have a cousin (54 yo) who has fond memories of them playing his H.S. Homecoming Dance. Yes they're getting up there in age.

wv: reosafe. Gee I hope REO's safe (another Illinois band)

Josh Kruschke said...: I find the Cheap Trick a fitting metaphor for what I wish would and will happen to the house of cards that is our government, this way we can get onto the business of picking up the mess and rebuilding.

Boat Guy said...: C'mon,Tam, it's from Collaborationist News Network, not exactly an organization dedicated to informing folks.; 8:15 AM, July 19, 2011
Shrimp said...: Now, really, what we need is to find a way to combine best part of the first headline and the worst part of the last headline. Something like "Congress and Obama collapse on stage while resuming cheap trick on debt talks."

Unfortunately, the only way it makes sense is that Obama and Congress are unhurt after debt talks collapse, and resume their cheap tricks. Sadly, we already knew this.; 9:42 AM, July 19, 2011
