They’re Kidding, Right?

by Bryan

I have the BBC app on my iPad and it has a very distinctive alert sound. When it went off this morning I checked the site on my computer and couldn’t figure out what the alert was about. I didn’t see any breaking news.

So, I checked the CBC site to see if they had anything, and they actually had the announcement that Hillary Clinton formally confirmed that she was running for President in a Breaking News box.

I opened up the iPad to see if that was, in fact, what the BBC was alerting, and sure enough it was.

Excuse me, but this ‘news’ has been breaking for two years, and the fact that she was going to do it today was announced last Friday.

I can see reporting it, but ‘Breaking News’ – I don’t think so…

Yeah, about the only people surprised that Hilary announced she was running for President are the people who thought she announced that years ago…

Off topic, this might sound like old times for you. Having flashbacks yet?

It was RC-130s and SU-9s, but I been to that dance in the Baltic. The only thing missing are the Saabs out of Sweden bent on annoying everyone.
