Ah... the sad, sad state of not only our nation, but of the fourth branch of government: the media. A very eye-opening collection of (not-so) exaggerated headlines. The only thing missing is Britney.

Agree!

This was a great read...funny..Jon Stewartee...it's like laughing to keep from crying..or setting something on fire. We as a nation have reached the zenith of our foolishness, hypocracy, selfishness...and as did the hedonistic Romans...we fiddle..buy poison and drugs with lottery side effects...we Put Up with our "elected" officials with Neanderthal IQ's and watch them swing from trees and pay them $150,00+ benefits..expecting them to solve all our problems...we're 3/4 the way down the toliet and there's an economic turd heading our way.. The sad thing about it..we jumped in and let them drive.
I feel that we are headed for 3rd world status..the rats are jumping ship and very few give a damn..I wrote a poem about revolution called "Revolving"
Really like your humor..Thanks

"John McCain wins the presidency"...

Now there is a superlatively ridiculous headline...Or is it?
To think he has a chance after what has happened in the past eight years is enough to make us all barf!! (Excuse my awful image.)
