Hysterical Headlines (Funny or Absurd) for March 21st
Bottom Line: These are the daily doses of nonsense in the media and my hot takes on them...
Hot Take: I'm not trying to make light or make fun of Pitbull's new status but that's probably not a headline you'd ever anticipated. So, what's actually going on? Miami's own Pitbull will be speaking to the UN tomorrow about what he's characterized as a global water crisis. His title is officially "Clear Water Here Ambassador". I'm just guessing that you'd never had suspected that someone who goes by the name of Pitbull would be a UN ambassador, and that Pitbull the musician would specifically be the one, but there you go. So, yay to clean water!
Dems Finally Uniting Over Their Shared Hatred of Trump Dean Obeidallah, NBC News
Hot Take: It's not that this is surprising or even that I'm surprised to have this type of headline in an editorial from NBC News. It is however pretty noteworthy and a touch ironic that the Democrats are "finally" uniting over hate. Does that strike anyone else as at least slightly disturbing aside from being ironic?
Hot Take: Now hold on. Are you really implying there's a double-standard politically in this country? Of course, the Obama campaign was simply genius in exploiting Facebook and related user data for campaign purposes in 2012. Of course, the Trump campaign was sinister and underhanded for doing the same. I mean just look at him right? You can tell he's a bad guy. Plus, Obama's so cool. There really isn't an argument that can be made that's anymore intellectual than that...
Both Parties More Dysfunctional Than the White House Andrew Malcolm, McClatchy
Hot Take: If there are any takers that'd like to challenge that notion and make the case I'd love to hear it...
Until tomorrow...
