I don't mind a little off-beat dessert with my balanced meal of news. But CNN.com has gone too far. It's all tabloid, trash and sponsor-generate junk these days (and most of that is just to get people to click on video ads, I'm sure). I get it that they want to have a sense of humor. But it feels like CNN.com wants to be "Best Week Ever" and not a serious source of news. I wish they would spend some time redesigning their home page and stop trying to prove how clever they are with T-shirts. Truly clever people can come up with interesting ways to tell stories and have a sense of humor. Listen to NPR any day and you'll learn how. I remember when I use to go to CNN.com to get real news.

The other day, I joked that we're all going to use our stimulus checks to get a fill-up , then to my horror, I realized that this may have been part of the plot all along.
