Abused by the News

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving group of folk.

Ms Karine Grabapussy’s pained face during her response is priceless. Most telling is that even the paid propagandist couldn’t even take a try at explaining the unexplainable.

Knicky had a rough night in Nevada; loosing by more than 32 points to ‘None of the Above’. I haven’t found Mr. Above’s victory speech nor is there a concession speech splattered across cyberspace by the former ambassador. There must be a tremendous financial upside compelling her forge on well past the use by date. Who is she working for?

The good news is that Microsoft is teaming with the a firm called Semafor to get this effort off of the ground. Semafor is a firm founded by notorious former Buzzfeed editors Ben Smith and Justin Smith. The hits keep on coming.
