In the news business, August is the traditional slow news month. Most politicians are basically out-to-lunch, ( like that’s something new) or on vacation. Television news has little to spin, so in many cases they actually make-up news (surprise!) or the bobble heads themselves go on vacation and put in their third string bobble heads to report grass growing or air breathing etc. I have my own wish list of stories I would like to see written during the dog days of August and here they are;
10. Lou Dobbs snaps, starts making sense on air, CNN head says show cancelled due to plummeting ratings
9. Birthers start their own civilization in Kenya
8. Goldman Sach’s purchases remote island, banishes all CEO’s to island for Survivor type game-for life
