A few years ago there was a TV writer's strike, and talk shows had to go off the air. I was actually surprised to find that they were written by writers, rather than simple computer programs. I assumed Jay Leno just had a rack of computers backstage scanning the news wires. When there was a story about, say, children, it inserts Michael Jackson into it and calls it a joke.
Anyway, my point is: enough with the Mitt Romney dog-on-the-car-roof jokes. I'm not a fan of Romney or dogs, but still, the next comic who tries a lazy joke just because there's an animal in a news story is going to find out what it's like being strapped to the roof of a car headed for Canada.
