Whoa there, Nancy Grace

Flipping around the dial (not a dial anymore I guess, just an expression, keep reading), I see Nancy Grace on CNN Headline News. Naturally, I’m drawn to the ticker at the bottom, but above it, right beneath Nancy’s head, is a red banner with the words “Breaking Urgent News”

Is it just me or is Nancy Grace getting a little carried away here? Maybe I’m just failing to appreciate the difference between “breaking news” and “breaking urgent news.” I mean, isn’t it logical that if news was both breaking and urgent, CNN’s first call wouldn’t be to Nancy Grace?

I’m just saying, there’s only a limited supply of words out there. Once we’ve worn them all out, it’s darn difficult to come up with new ones. Let’s be careful with the ones we have.

    Can’t make up words, you say? That’s highly grebulous, don’t you think? I bet if I put my mind to it, I could freegle up PLENTY of new voilrams.

    I’ve been a HUGE fan of Nancy Grace for as long as I can remember. If I am ever suspected of committing a felonious offense, I hope Nancy personal gives me the business. I wish I had a show so I could wear lots of mascara and make people that I don’t like feel bad about themselves and commit suicide! Nancy Grace is awesome!
