CNN vs. Dumb Criminal Blog

Like a dog returning to its owner after being pummeled and beaten for years, I return to CNN.com for my news every day after reading sensational news stories with front page coverage of Britney going to court and Amy Winehouse... not going to rehab. I also get e-mails updating me on the latest headlines, stating "Breaking News: Stupid Crap Happened that No One Cares About!" Granted, I could click unsubscribe at any time to stop receiving them but I'm interested to see the next headline they consider to be "breaking news" worthy. Here are a few REAL samples...

University of North Carolina beats Michigan State, 89-72, for NCAA basketball championship, Sports Illustrated reports.

In his first speech to a joint session of Congress, President Obama vows "we will recover" from economic crisis.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had surgery today for pancreatic cancer.

Now, that last one seems a bit harsh, I know... to say that no one cares about Ruth Bader Ginsburg... but c'mon. Breaking news?? And Obama says we will recover - what did you expect? That he's going to tell us we're going to suffer and burn in eternal damnation? Lord. And the basketball game... when I turn to Sports Illustrated for my daily news, it will be a sad day for CNN indeed.

Speaking of breaking news, I occasionally read a blog called Dumb as a Blog, which is described by its tagline as "A Daily Digest of the Dumbest Stuff People Do." I mostly read about dumb criminals here, like the one in this story, where the words "Pop Tarts" and "attack" are used in the same sentence. I thought it was noteworthy and wanted to share. It is highly possible that I read more intelligent news here than at CNN.com.
