Screaming racial epithets he once read on the Free Republic web site, Officer Wilson pulled out his AR-15 machine gun with its one thousand round clip and starting shooting Michael Brown.

Oh, the hugh manatee.

I will go one further. Let’s say the MSM actually did their jobs starting in 2000. What would the country look like now? List your answers here.

1. There would have never been a “hanging chad.”

This is a good one. Mainly because it is not all that far fetched.
