1. CNN is no longer news, it is pure speculation and opinion and trolling and are as useless as Fox.

Other side of the country...get a map, CNN, maybe find one in your Blizzardmobiles? Is ISIS paying CNN for coverage? Only American cable news is still debating whether ISIS, pure evil for sure, may also be liars??

CNN has gone full time to Terror and Fear and Speculation. And then there is Wolf Blitzer, Chief Director of Fear and Promoting Terrorists.

You could have been a force for good...so sad.

3. Wolf Blitzer- the first humanized robot

just recently got a new set of gears to give his face the capability of a second "blank" expression to his repertoire of abland expression. In Wolf Blitzer 3.0, there will be a second pitch added to the monotonous voice.

9. With the use of

additional servos and wireless adapter, concealed within his beard, say top Blitzerologists.

5. Actually, I had him pegged as a robotized human.

Tough call.

10. My theory? Wolf Blitzer escaped from Disney's Country Bear Jamboree.
