CNN Does It Again
There are SO many good picks from the online CNN Headlines today that I didn't even know what to choose as the most idiotic.
This is what happens when you have people who must've once been smart stay up all night to cover hard hitting news stories. They became like sleep deprived teenaged girls at a slumber party. Around 3 AM these Columbia University graduates must be rolling around the newsroom floor laughing so much they're snorting over who came up with the stupidest headline (after the boss leaves, of course).
Today, my vote goes to "Stephen Hawkings Needs an Assistant." Once again, I didn't even bother to read the article-the headline was WAY too entertaining, and I didn't want to spoil their fun.
Next thing you know, these top notch, Ivy League educated CNN reporters are going to start crank calling us at 4 AM...after they've raided the company refrigerator, that is.

anunomess,
Something tells me you might very well be qualified for a job there.
I'd send a resume....with some sample headlines. (Just make some news up in your application-it's ALL in the headlines, afterall. Isn't that why they call it "Headline News?")
And DON'T forget to mention that you can supply puppy meds...it'll give you an edge for the "all-nighter" job thing. While you may lack hard hitting news reporting experience, an office supply of puppy meds will TOTALLY make up for it.
Good luck!
Or did you want to be Stephen Hawking's assistant?
Nah. Go for the reporting job...much more fun than following around a completely debilitated wheelchair bound genius. You'd have to be a nursemaid AND an expert on cosmic black holes. Snoozer job.
I dunno, Stephen Hawking is pretty rich, isn't he? He must be, he's won all sorts of prizes and had all sorts of stuff published.
And, think of it, if he got annoying, you could just wheel him into a closet, close the door, get the wine out, and put your favourite movie on...
(Oh dear, I'm going to hell...)
Thanks Cake AND Anunomess-
HA!
Although, I think Cake may be onto something. He may just be "MY kind of man!"
