The Stupid Family (courtesy CNN, America's favorite liberal press): Okay, I have always wondered how stupid some people can get, but this article really just proved how amazingly liberal that CNN is. The article is about a poor family that was vacationing in Lebanon and has been stranded for a week in Beruit. Okay, who vacations in Beruit? Beruit is the symbol of a disasterous city? Probably the only place worse for a vacation would be Chernobyl. Can't you just picture that conversation
"Honey, I was thinking about our vacation this year. How about Beruit?"
"Oh, we were really hoping to go to Bagdad."
The only way that Beruit could be a vacation spot is if they live in south central LA! (in fact, I googled them, they do live in Orange County, so I wasn't off by much). They say that they wanted to baptize their 9-month old son there. Okay, but why now? Why doesn't the husband have enough sense to think "Hey, I am in a country that is in conflict with another country that has lots of bombs, I might want to make this a quick trip." But nooooo! They stay there for a month. A month for vacation? Wow, that is some baptism. I had the honor of baptizing all four of my angels and it took about 10 minutes each. I am unaware of any culture that needs a month to baptize someone. The Catholics tend to take the longest and I have never heard of a baptism service that took much longer than an hour.
(Note to Station Chief, Middle East, Central Intelligence Agency: You guys might want to check out their story, sounds a little fishy)
Now to the folks at CNN. How pathetic are you when you have to feature a kid holding a sign that says "Please Get Us Out!". Where is the sign that says "My Dad is an Idiot!" If I were stupid enough to take my family into a hostile location for vacation I would also probably resort to this kind of publicity to get a free trip home. But, common sense says that if I were in a country that was being bombed I would leave immediately. I would walk if I have to. It seems to me that if they have been there for a month that they probably know there way around fairly well. The article says that Tony Esseily is from Lebanon. Is he such a screw up that his family there doesn't want anything to do with him? Why are they now trying to place blame on Lebanon for their plight. And Monika, quit complaining, you married him for better or worse. Guess what? This is the worse part.
There is nothing, NOTHING, in this article which qualifies for news. It is the story of a family that has made a series of bad (and suspicious) decisions and now wants to blame someone else for their problems.
