I was just watching some video on CNN’s site and one of the reporters was talking about a guy being fired “without cause.” This reporter then goes on to say that “without cause is a fancy way of saying ‘for no dog-gone good reason’” which I guess is sort of true if I’m speaking to my 6 month-old son.

Is this seriously what we call news reporting now? This guy has to translate the perfectly clear English phrase “without cause” into some infantile euphemism so that some fucking dipshit who’s been in his recliner for the last 6 hours can understand it. The Cheetos and Dr. Pepper that have cemented this sorry bastard in his Barcalounger will soon coalesce into a new lifeform that’s smarter than 90% of the people presenting the news on TV.

With the death of Walter Cronkite, it’s people like this reporter who are taking over and it means the Idiocracy is closer than it was days ago.
