Lots of good ‘information’ conveyed in those headlines that you handpicked to make a point.

The worst thing about the internet is that I can’t even wipe my ass with pathetic excuses for articles like this. Maybe that’s why the newspaper will never die; at least you can rip it to shreds or throw it away when WSJ puts out some garbage about how AIG is contractually obligated to waste money. Then again, I wouldn’t waste the poop it would take to sh*t on this article.

Wasn’t it also the week that one of the nation’s most famous college basketball coaches suggested the POTUS might have more important things to do than filling out an NCAA bracket? (I know it was all good natured but, ouch.) And then to make it worse, aren’t the self proclaimed bball aficionado’s picks pretty stinky?

Dont forget the headlline about how Obama’s gift DVDs were in fact NTSC not PAL and therefore will not work in the British prime minister’s DVD player. Oh yeah and that the Obama administration sent their official correspondence to France regarding international relations, but sent it to the OLD president of France, not the new one.

* Nation’s most famous basketball coach tells Obama to get back to business

* Sent the wrong DVD type to the British Prime Minister
