Let us all take a moment.
The Weekly World News – “The World’s only Reliable Newspaper” – is going under.
What can you say about the rag that printed stories that the National Enquirer wouldn’t touch, with brilliant (and exclusive!) cover stories like these:
Kitten Guilty of Murder!
Saddam and Osama Adopt Shaved Ape Baby!
World’s Smartest Ape Goes to College!
Dick Cheney is a Robot!
Actually, that last on might be pretty well sourced.
Seriously, Google “Weekly World News” and click on images.
And say goodbye to an American icon.
I live in Southern California, grew up in New York and Minneapolis, and have family scattered in three countries. I am a liberal, and woe be to anyone who says that with any sort of moronic disclaimer (i.e. “I’m a liberal but I’m not crazy” or “I’m a liberal but I still believe terrorism is bad”). I’m a liberal, OK? No apologies. However, I do think, when I hear the word uttered by some people, of Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
