Even though CNN is a respected news source, they sure do have some stupid feature stories. Today at lunchtime, I turned to CNN Headline News to catch up on the latest developments in Showdown Iraq. (Don't you just love how the media always comes up with these catchy title slogans?) In the fifteen minutes that I watched, they had a story about an octopus that can open jars with its tentacles, as well as a five-minute-long feature story about the pets that have been left behind by diplomats who were ordered to leave Iraq. Apparently the diplomats are paying USD$17 per day for a vet to look after their goldfish and canaries (and kitty cats, dogs, etc.) until they can be reunited again. Yup. CNN. News that matters. Oh puh-leeze!
