Who needs real news?

The lazy and idiotic press are ending this year as they have conducted it, by reporting utterly stupid stories that are of no consequence to anyone, but easy to cover. The latest is that President Obama when posing for a photo with Girl Scout Troop 2612 of Tulsa, Oklahoma put on a tiara. The significance of this is that he once said never "put stuff on your head if you're president." Of course this couldn't be reported as a lighthearted and whimsical break for his own rigid rules by a fun-loving president. No. It would seem that HuffingtonPost and other outlets assume that this means our president is in danger of going back on everything else he ever said. To them the tiara is the ultimate betrayal, the symbol of reneging on every promise and, of course, another example of Obama looking for any sign of royalty. How can any of us forget the dreaded tiara?
