"New medical study suggests you should run. Run! It's too late for us. Save yourself, the report concludes."

Hey folks. This week's theme is about how I've been appreciating the arts in different ways than I usually do. And then perhaps branching out from there about life in general, as my posts tend to do. But let's go ahead and get this party  small gathering of friends started.

Another typical week, only with more junk food.

Evidence that Fox News has negative IQ
“On an otherwise regular Sunday evening broadcast in 2011, Fox News reported that Sarah Palin had not decided if she would run for president in 2012.  As is common, a picture of the politician accompanied the report… only it wasn’t Sarah Palin.  The network mistakenly used a picture of Tina Fey mocking Palin in a 2008 Saturday Night Live skit.”

Thus began the four page explanatory feature article I wrote that was due yesterday.  I thought that was a humorous anecdote about how Fox News is dumb, and the point of my article was that the line between entertainment and news has been blurred (passive voice because of the obscure object that is obscuring the line) over the years with SNL’s “Weekend Update” and Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show.  You know you want to read it.  Just kidding.  But just hear the title: “Is the quality of news ‘Palin’?” Hahaha… yay me!
