hank do you remember when all of georgia fled that flood that left thousands homeless and seven dead but while those people drowned and their houses went adrift the news was about kanye west and taylor swift indeed rhett link i see the news media failin every time anyone mentions sarah palin they dispatch a dozen camera crews every time she poos while i can t escape the feeling she s just not news and swine flu while a killer got more love than it needed killing 4 000 people while the normal flu unheeded kills 60 000 people year in and year out people like to have something to freak out about but then there was that michael phelps marijuana scandal just one picture and the media flew off their handle i mean he did the exact same thing as our last three presidents something about our priorities here does not make sense so many important things happened this year friend iran s election and mass recession and obama sworn in but to us the things on cable news seem so freaking dumb and we can only hope that we re not the only ones yes we can only hope that we re not the only ones i don t think if crappy news gets any better than the scandals of tiger woods and david letterman i mean it turns out rich guys cheat on their wives that wasn t news in the year twenty five and one of the biggest stories of the whole entire year is that susan boyle could sing and bring an audience to tears with all the pretty people auto tuned i think we forgot you don t have to be hot to the talent britain s got and i still laugh any time i see some poor braggart proudly holding up a sign proclaiming he s a tea bagger besides any confusion about the revolution i think no matter what they mean the news was an illusion so many important things happened this year friend iran s election and mass recession and obama sworn in but to us the things on cable news seem so freaking dumb and we can only hope that we re not the only ones yes we can only hope that we re not the only ones and i think we three can all agree the biggest load of po was that balloon boy falcon who was not in the balloon just another year where we kept the world alive we didn t pay attention but we somehow didn t die so many important things happened this year friend iran s election and mass recession and obama sworn in but to us the things on cable news seem so freaking dumb and we can only hope that we re not the only ones yes we can only hope that we re not the only ones but since they re still reporting it we just might be the only ones happy new year hank and the other one your brother think his name is don john
