And Now the News

On January 4, 2008, in Culture, by psu

In a special report, here is a summary of the breaking news over the past few days:

Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Obama Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Edwards Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Money Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Clinton Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Huckabee Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Romney Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa Iowa

Can someone please explain to me why every few years the “news” people engage in this collective mutual masturbatory spoogefest over the opinions of a couple of hundred thousand people in the middle of nowhere?

We now return to our regularly scheduled weblog.

    I have no point here, I just like saying “Eric the Huck-a-bee.”

    It’s such a shame you don’t enjoy the Iowa caucuses – it really is lots of fun! I watched an absurd amount of coverage on it last night with primal glee.

    Our elections in the UK have nothing so brilliantly arcane. Like US sports, US politics is just the ultimate in media hype – fantastic. ;)

    Have fun!
