‘Drunk intern’: CNN mixes up Cardinals logos in graphic of NFL teams

http://twitter.com/#!/HoosierWolves/status/512721049968836609

It was just a bit ago that CNN demonstrated that math is hard by displaying a graphic showing the “yes” vote for Scottish independence edging out “no” by a count of 58 percent to 52 percent. Now, CNN is showing that sports can be difficult to keep straight as well.

@jeffpearlman Isn't that the baseball Cardinals?

— laurakfillault (@laurakfillault) September 18, 2014

The bat in the logo would seem to suggest that, yes. St. Louis Cardinals, Arizona Cardinals — what’s the difference?

@jeffpearlman It's like they don't even care about being accurate. I mean, seriously. The Vikings haven't used that logo since 2012.

The logo might not even be the most egregious error in the graphic, according to some.

Eric Boehlert blasts Twitchy for questioning FLOTUS on childhood obesity

http://twitter.com/#!/EricBoehlert/status/365122249885351936

So what if the decline in childhood obesity started in 2003, seven years before Michelle Obama announced the Let’s Move! initiative. If you question the FLOTUS-is-responsible-for-all-good-things narrative, you’re nothing more than an anti-science moron. So says Media Matters “Senior Fellow” Eric Boehlert:

http://twitter.com/#!/EricBoehlert/status/365132690044878848

Serious question: Does Boehlert know he’s peddling junk science or does he actually believe the garbage he writes?

“The riots have started’: Protest escalates in Missouri [pics, video]

It seems the situation has only gotten worse in Ferguson, Missouri where people are protesting the police shooting of Michael Brown.

Occupy threat at RNC Tampa convention

http://twitter.com/#!/weaselzippers/status/238276427848491009

TAMPA (FOX 13):

Tampa police say they’ve confiscated bricks and pipes from a rooftop in Tampa, and discovered what they say is “anarchist” graffiti.

The anonymous symbol was spray painted, along with the number “99″ in red paint.

All of it was found on top of a building at 1000 North Florida Ave., which is at the corner of Florida Avenue and Tyler Street.

Increased Police Presence at Occupy Tampa: http://t.co/tyYKYxGs via @youtube

— ☮ Dennis Burk Lintz (@Dennis_Lintz) August 22, 2012

The liquored-up occupier in the YouTube video says the increased police presence at the filthy Occupy RNC Tampa camp makes him feel as if he’s in a “police state” like Beirut or Afghanistan.

Poor baby. Maybe a visit to some Wounded Warriors who have actually been to a real police state might sober him up.

If anyone from St. Louis is going that direction, these two girls need a ride to Tampa. Just make sure you have good ventilation in your vehicle:

We also have some helpful information for anyone interested in joining the dirty hippies in Tampa, thanks to The Gateway Pundit. He links to their Facebook page and RNC Tampa Schedule.

Activities include “Shut Down Bain,” work groups, more work groups and more work groups, and you won’t want to miss:

The West Tampa Occupy Choir!

“A Lighthearted Activity for all to enjoy/participate…If you don’t sing,  just clap along, shake a homemade rattle or beat on a plastic bucket…We will be learning two or three protest-inspired songs: “Redemption Song”, by the king of reggae, Bob Marley, “This Land Is Your Land” by Woody Guthrie, possibly “Get Up, Stand Up” ;again, a Bob Marley masterpiece of a protest song.”

As always, sunlight is the best disinfectant.

And rain. Occupiers are sensitive souls that tend crawl back into their smelly tents at the first sign of inclement weather.

Dear God — Please send a hurricane to Tampa. Sincerely, America. #tcot #p2
