    Top Ten Ways CBS News Can Improve It's Reputation

    10. Stick to stories everyone can agree on, like cookies are delicious.

    9. Move nightly "happy hour" to after the broadcast.

    8. Stop hiring guys with crazy names like "Morley."

    7. Can't figure out if a news story is true? Let Judge Joe Brown decide.

    6. Every time Mike Wallace tells a lie he gets a life-threatening electrical shock.

    5. Newsroom patrolled by some kind of lovable but strict "truth monkey."

    4. If it turns out the story is wrong, give away 276 brand new cars.

    3. After delivering a report, correspondent must add, "or maybe not--who knows?"

    2. Newscast consists of Dan Rather sitting down to watch Tom Brokaw.

    1. Oh, I dunno, stop making up crap?


Have a good weekend, people. Posting will be light to non-existent over the next couple of days. I'll be celebrating my birthday (38) tomorrow afternoon with a bunch of friends, a couple cases of beer, and four Costco-sized racks of spareribs.
