23 Times "Weekend Update" Made the News Fun
www.etonline.com

Unlike many other, well-informed Americans, I just can't bring myself to keep up with the news everyday. At the end of my day, the last thing I need is a reminder that the American government is running around in chaos, or that the earth is dying and we're all doomed. I don't need that at the end of the day. Not to mention the chaos that is trying to weed out "unbiased" journalism. But if I can keep up with the big highlights of the world around me, and still keep a smile on, that's the kind of news I can appreciate. So thank you, "Weekend Update" for lightly informing me about the world around me while tickling my funny bone at the same time.

It’s everyone’s favorite time of year. Christmastime is a celebration, but have we forgotten what we are supposed to be celebrating? There is a reason the holiday is called Christmas. Not presentmas. Not Santamas. Not Swiftmas. Christmas.
