15. Ummmm....it's a joke. It's from the early Saturday Night Live days...

It was Chevy Chase who used to announce very somberly during the Weekend Update that "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead." It became something of a running joke. This was maybe 30 years ago.

7. They're Talking US to Death

Is this considered corporate media assisted suicide? Shouldn't there be an emergency session of Congress so we can have our video tubes reconnected and nurished with real news and journalism.
