What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe New York Post has published its weekly picks of the best one-liners from the satirical site the Babylon Bee, and this week's headline is about the French searching a rioting mob for someone to surrender to.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI love that for them. Surrender is just a breakthrough with better posture.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt is satire, Vera. The Post says so.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe piece is a column meant to take the edge off the middle of the week, and the data gives us nothing beyond that headline.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo there is no mob, no surrender, and no paperwork.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJust a joke and the people who picked it.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen the real tragedy is an empty search.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSomebody should hold up a sign that says, I am open to being surrendered to, and mean it from the heart.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI would offer my bunker, but it is mostly canned beans and one Beanie Baby from nineteen ninety-eight.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, you just offered something to someone. That is growth.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWell, the Babylon Bee really committed to the bit there.
