Top 10 Things You Would Like To See On The News:
Seems the media is complaining it's a slow news season. Viewers are burned out. Well, here's some stories I'd like to see. How about you?

Top 10 Things I Would Like To See On The News:

Katherine Harris and Supreme Court 5 apologize to American voters.

Donald Rumsfeld bites Colin Powell's ear in power squabble.

Jeb Bush arrested for forging oxycontin perscriptions.

Dick Cheney's new experimental pig to human heart transplant incites riot in Baghdad.

Arnold Schwarzenegger implicated in the Laci Peterson murder case.


Come on DUers! What do you want to see?

1. absolute FRONT page
Edited on Mon Aug-11-03 11:28 PM by graphixtech
(in a different reality)

"THE EARTH IS QUICKLY MELTING; REPUBLICANS CONTINUE CALL FOR VOLUNTARY MEASURES.
DEMOCRATS CALL ON IMMEDIATE ALTERNATIVE ENERGY"

"CONGRESS VOTED ON PACK OF IRAQ LIES;
DEMOCRATS INSIST THAT ALL TROOPS WILL BE PULLED HOME BEFORE THANKSGIVING"

"REPUBLICANS SEEK TO DESTROY ALL GOVERNMENT SOCIAL ASSISTANCE. DEMOCRATS HALT."

"CORRUPT TOUCH SCREEN VOTING TO BE IMMEDIATELY REPLACED BY VERIFIABLE AUDIT, COUNTING ELECTION SYSTEMS"

"REPUBLICANS MOVE TO CORPORATIZE ALL WATER, FOOD, CLEAN AIR. DEMOCRATS HALT ALL ATTEMPTS"

"PATRIOT ACT DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND FEDERALLY RESCINDED"

and perhaps the hugest pipedream of all:
"For the Best Interest of America, the MEDIA Pledges to Report the TRUTH."


Absolute FRONT PAGE, no more media complicity! Sick of pathetic token, breadcrumb quips mentioned on page A-21.

(you asked what we "wanted" to see)

18. Yet another pipedream....
Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 08:03 AM by fed2dneck
Bush outed as fraud. Supreme Court declares ouster, Gore takes proper place as President.

Tom DeLay found guilty of extortion and racketeering. Expulsion hearing underway in House Ethics Committee

John Ashcroft impeached and removed from his post for gross mental incompetence. Committed to mental hospital.

...and one which may be going on as we speak....

Al-Qaeda planning to choose 2004 President, send hackers to infiltrate Diebold and ES&S to rig the vote.

3. Oh, a dream thread. I love these
"Congress resigns en mass, Governors to appoint all-DFL replacements."

"Bush says, 'We really screwed them with Enron didn't we' on an open mic"

"Dick Cheney's pacemaker to be recalled"

"Saddam captured, admits 'Never had weapons of mass destruction'"

"Tony Blair ousted in surprise no-confidence vote"

"National CEOs meeting orders reduction in pay by 90% to executives"

"Ken Lay caught selling crack in Houston"

"Wellstone and family found alive in Brainerd fish house"

10. What ever happened to all those ENRON scumbags?
Edited on Mon Aug-11-03 11:24 PM by Bushknew
I have no idea if anyone went to jail or not.

I wish they would give that the same attention they give Kobe and Lacey Peterson.

16. Just one thing, actually,
and it is NOT a story. The only thing I would like is real news that is actually IMPORTANT. If we only had that, all the stories we'd like to see would fall into place like magic.
