my daily dose of laughter

ok... I just got my dose of major entertainment and hilarity courtesy of CNN. I was watching earlier today and of course all the anchors and reporters and special guests (like that douchebag William Bennet - the original drug czar appointed by Reagan... I thought the drug czar was the guy you go to to get your drugs - boy was that a mistake lol) are all debating the results and implications of Super Tuesday and every so often they take a break from the election to go to their various "special correspondents" (i.E. the ones they send out in hurricanes and blizzards and other natural disasters... the "disposable reporters") one of whom I notice she has a big assed cold sore on her upper lip(despite her mask of thickly caked makeup designed to hide the sore) and she does a minute or two showing pictures of the aftermath of the tornadoes yesterday in Tennessee and of course the first picture she shows made me laugh - a picture of a Dr. Pepper machine destroyed by the storms. OH NO...NOT THE DR. PEPPER! Like that was one of the worst results of the storms... a knocked over smashed Dr. Pepper machine - that's the first picture they decide to show. Screw the 57+ who died and the hundreds injured...THERE'S A DR. PEPPER MACHINE DOWN! Now that's funny. But it got even better right after when they cut to commercial from the reporter with the huge cold sore - a commercial for Valtrex! I'm in comedy friggin heaven at this point - a Valtrex commercial right after a report by someone who obviously either needed Valtrex or forgot to take her dose of Valtrex. I'm still trying to figure out if that was planned that way or if someone in the control booth was trying to humiliate the poor girl or it was just coincidental but no matter how it came about it was friggin funny!
