Hey Lou Dobbs, I will not miss you--I never watched your program :-)

A long time ago--when Bernard Shaw was the news anchor at CNN--I remember watching that news channel a lot.  For two main reasons: one, the internets was only a series of tubes (!) at that time, and the friendly web hadn't come into place.  So, there was no way a junkie like me could get updated otherwise.  Second, CNN was mostly only a news channel.
Then things changed--thanks to Faux News.
Soon, CNN also became a sensation-seeking shoutfest channel, with half the screen devoted to rolling ticker updates.
While I was smart enough to program my TV to skip the Faux News channel, I would pause every once in a while at CNN.  But, Lou Dobbs?  Nah!

As always, The Onion has the best news update on Dobbs' departure.  The entire report is hysterical--the way it weaves in stereotypes after stereotypes that Dobbs' might have used in his rants, er, program.  An excerpt:

Acting on anonymous tips from within the Hispanic-American community, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials on Wednesday deported Luis Miguel Salvador Aguila Dominguez, who for the last 48 years had been living illegally in the United States under the name Lou Dobbs. ...
In addition to holding multiple jobs without ever obtaining a guest-worker permit or H-1B visa, "Dobbs" is reported to have collected welfare every month for nearly five decades. He appeared in good health when apprehended, having used Medicaid to obtain numerous health care services over the years, but immigration officials fear he still may have exposed the American population to the many infectious diseases illegal immigrants tend to carry, including both malaria and leprosy.
