Please stop the insanity!

Ok, let's recap. We've had the comparison between Obama and McCain with their NCAA men's basketball brackets. There was the survey which revealed that more people would rather have Barack Obama over for a barbecue than John McCain.

Now, I think we have the "presumptive" extreme in terms of stupidity for news stories comparing the two "presumptive" candidates.


McCain beats Obama in race of hissing cockroaches
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) - This presidential race was no contest: John McCain sped to the finish while Barack Obama was reluctant to leave the starting point.

But there's no guarantee giant Madagascar hissing cockroaches will predict the real result in November.

The roach race Thursday was part of the New Jersey Pest Management Association's annual clinic and trade show.

Organizers liken the race's prediction success to that of Punxsutawney Phil on Groundhog Day.
Association Executive Director Leonard Douglen says the 2000 roach race came close. The Gore roach won by an antenna, hanging chads not included.

*****Ok, that settles it. The race is over. The cockroaches have decided the next leader of the free world.

This is out of control. I don't know what's worse...the people who do things like the cockroach race or the sucker media folks who give it the attention.
