Top CNN Story - Family Survives After 17 Days in Wilderness

But, they had plenty of food, water, fuel...and they were living in an RV.

So, basically, a 17 day camping trip.

Weird!

1. But, did they have cell coverage?
If not, then by today's standards, they were in the wilderness.

2. Yeah, America isn't interested in voting machines that don't work anyway
They want to hear about people who have to eat their feet. Or almost have to.

8. I know. I was being sarcastic.
Real news is now only delivered via Fake News Television Programs like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

5. I have lived for 21 days with a tarp and a sleeping bag
in remote Alaska.

Does that mean I get a CNN story too?

10. I hiked ten days through a canyon in New Mexico without a cell phone,
an iPod, an SUV, or trendy pre-ripped clothing, and rarely even used the tent I brought... where's my CNN story?

9. Many, many Katrina families went through much worse for longer.
And many of them are still going through worse.
