Lou Dobbs Leaves CNN

Y estamos de acuerdo.  ¡Váyase de aquí! (And we agree.  Get out of here!)

It seems that the "limp-minded, lily-livered lefties" have done it again.  For months, many on the left – including myself – and several Hispanic groups have been calling for the resignation of Lou Dobbs from the CNN Network. 

Mr. Dobbs, who joined the cable news network when it first began in 1980, has long been said to be the network's most outspoken anchor and is no stranger to controversy.  Well known for his anti-immigration rhetoric, which has been decried by many as xenophobic, Mr. Dobbs has also drawn a substantial amount of criticism for comments that he has made concerning the issue of race as well as comments made during the course of last year's presidential election concerning the citizenship of President Obama -- this was, of course, after the network disproved the rumors surrounding the apparent controversy.

Months ago, in light of such remarks, the president of CNN/U.S., Jonathan Klein, gave Mr. Dobbs a choice:  he could either voice his opinions on radio and conduct an objective newscast on television, or leave the network.  And it seems that Mr. Dobbs has finally chosen the latter.

The child who brought the news media to its knees.If you haven't been following the Balloon Boy saga that has been broadcast on cable news networks for almost the entire afternoon, bear witness to a tale. A tale of power. The power to distract 24-hour news networks, along with the American public, for 6 hours straight and counting. Here's the timeline:

11:30 MST: Six-year-old Falcon Heene launches his father's 20-foot-long helium balloon. The child is believed to be still inside of the balloon.

12:00-1:34: [useless conjecture by news media] i.e. Fox News correspondent: "I would look under the bed. If I were a child and launched my father's weather balloon, I'd have to go out back and break a switch off a tree."

1:35: The balloon lands 60 miles from its starting point. Law inforcement and paramedics are on site.

1:36: Authorities approach the balloon, shouting at it, to see if anyone is inside.

1:37: Authorities confirm no one is inside.

1:38-5:39: [useless conjecture involving various balloon experts (slightly better than conjecture by correspondents)]  

*Where the hell do you find a balloon expert?
