28. Kittens.... you forgot to mention kittens

I was stuck watching faux noise at a restaurant this morning, one thing that's always impressed me about them is that they're very adept at running 'regular' stories in between their lies to suck viewers in. This morning they had a cute kitten story - what mean hearted person wouldn't watch a cute kitten story? And then, right after the kitten it was back to Obama - bad, Israel - good, taxes - bad, government - bad, rich people (aka job creators) - good, war - good, blah blah blah. Honestly, MSNBC should really look at copying the faux format instead of having several very smart people discussing pretty much the same three or four issues all evening.
