Speaking of mind rotting crap, let me say this: Katie Couric.
The ad for her new series starting tomorrow on immigration starts out like some real thought was put into it. Describing the hardships pregnant women will go through to give birth on this side of the border. Fathers arriving in the emergency room with clothing still wet from swimming the river...
