I try to catch the news every morning before going to work to get a quick picture of what may be going on in the world that may effect everyone's lives, and so far this week the only real news worthy item has been Tibet. I thought I would run down a list of items from this morning's news that are absolutely worthless in my opinion, and hopefully, later in the day something will appear that will be cause for some kind of meaningful commentary. I am not going to rank these so called news stories but I will tell you I got part from the good people at America's News Room on Fox, they got very animated over these, my best guess is that they were threatened with electric shock if they didn't make these sound really big. And the other information came from Yahoo News on the Internet and the news papers.
1. The Midwest floods. This has to be one of the lamest pieces of coverage ever shoveled through the airwaves. It floods near these rivers every year and has forever. Some years are worse than others, but, the flooding is there year after year. Remedy for all of those whining people that want their fifteen seconds in the TV spotlight - MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
2. SLA member getting parole. There's no excuse for what this dummy did when she was young. The police would like to see her finish her full sentence, she's served half a sentence and even though the police union isn't happy I really don't think she's much of a threat. By the time her parole is over, and I can only guess that she better not make any mistakes while on parole, she will be to damn old to cause any more trouble. Since she was involved in a bank robbery where someone was killed I would like to see any proceeds from books, movies etc go to the persons' family and she should never profit as much as a dime.
3. The NY crane incident. Come on now, this was not another 911. Give it a rest, prosecute the inspector and stop with the blow by blow reporting.
4. Tibet - being slowly pushed to the way back burner, I can't stand Nancy Polosi but, she is the only government official who appears to have the balls to confront this issue.
5. Bill Richardson backing Barak Obama - Here's a good guy who couldn't get enough votes in his own state to be elected dog catcher in the primaries and he steps up to the plate for this goof. Bill, Bill, Bill.
6. The bombing of a Spanish Police station. What else is new from the Basque region, smoke out these terrorists and finish them off once and for all would be a good solution.
7. The killer sting-ray. If I have to watch Megyn Kelly on Fox show her phony astonishment and horror for this dastardly act one more time I am going to look for a large ray to take me out. Between her and Bill Hemmer I don't know which one of these Cupie dolls is going to call for the wing clipping of all rays in the ocean. I can only wonder when they will insinuate liberal conspiracy.
8. And the best of the day is the trademark infringement case involving members of the Beach Boys. This doesn't even rate as garbage, what a waste of finger strokes on the keyboard. How can news organizations think something is relevant when they never were relevant, they were a band, not world leaders, they didn't shape policy, end the Vietnam War or cure acne, they wrote songs to dance to, their records (yes records, for those of you to young to remember records-records were disc shaped vinyl recording devices the size of a dinner plate and turned at 33 1/3 rpm providing the same form of entertainment that you get from Cd's and Mp3 players today) entertained us at high school parties and provide some background music while you were trying to get laid in back seat of your fathers 68' Chevy.
Well I guess I'm going to go home early, it is Good Friday and my wife is off early and we are going to lunch then I'll watch some news, read the paper and see if there is some small tidbit of news being overlooked that deserves commentary. I'm sure I'll find something that the mainstream media is overlooking that actually is newsworthy.
