Sometimes the headlines make me laugh. The rest of the time I just want to slap myself. Let’s begin!

Yikes. Did they grill her on a spit? Over an open flame? With barbecue sauce? Did they give the leftovers to the homeless?

Today, CNN and CBS provided me with some laughs and some pure confusion. And since confusion is my life, I share!

As busy as I am right now I have to take headline opportunities when they come. Today there were enough that I just had to post.

Oh some days my email annoys me, but on others it gives me a great deal of amusement. Today is on of those latter days.

There’s not as many instantly hilarious headlines today but there are definitely some that make me wonder if perhaps 24 hour networks should just be banned outright for the stuff they come up with to pass the time.
