CNN, Your mother must be proud!

Sometimes I see things and assume that either someone has the same sick sense of humor that I do, or else people have completely lost their sense of the absurd. From the sidebar on this CNN news story today comes the following poll:

Who would you rather have overseeing operations at U.S. ports?

  • Arab-based ports company
  • U.S.-based mafia

Whoa, seriously? Somebody went to j-school for that? I am certain that your mother must be proud you’re the guy who put that on CNN.com. ($10 via PayPal to the first person who can get me a definitive answer about who’s responsible for this lunacy.)
And two thirds of people who voted are in favor of known criminalsrunning our ports? (Technically, it’s only 64% of the 55880 votes cast so far, but that’s still amazing.) Jon Stewart is clearly being overpaid, because some anonymous web wizard at CNN is alot funnier than anything Comedy Central has conjured up.
Check out the results for yourself, or just cast your own vote to see what everyone else thinks.
