CNN.com, running a useless and superficial story on “Lessons from the Great Depression” alongside a headline reading “Dow soars,” quotes a commenter from Louisiana: “‘It was a uniquely disgusting thing,’ Donna LeBlanc of Waxia, Louisiana, said of watching her grandfather eat squirrel.’
Notes:
- So many people down here still eat squirrel that I cannot imagine where Donna LeBlanc has been hiding to have found it objectionable (or associated with times of economic distress).
- Waxia, LA, is a town so small that Google Maps doesn’t show it in a search, although Mapquest does.
CNN’s “iReport” farce continues to amuse. Besides, everyone knows that the economy is fine until people are eating armadillo.
