2007 and the wonders of world news.

It's a new year boys and girls and the new year brings new news. Pat Robertson began the new year with another crazy tirade, this time of how we can expect an attack of almost nuclear proportions, here in america. You may recall that two years ago Pat had claimed that god warned him that there was going to be a large storm, a hurricane or mabye a tsunami, that would hit Americas shores sometime that year. Did Pat foresee the coming of katrina or was that just a random generalization brought on by the fact that a big storm hits the shores of America every year? Seams to me that he is about as accurate as Nostradamus but way wealthier and a hell of a lot crazier. Six thousand year old planet anyone? Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, William Rehnquist, it was recently reported, suffering from hallucinations due to withdrawl from pain killers he was, apparently, addicted to. I think we safely can put the old news about Brett Favre's painkiller addiction to bed now, considering that he never helped pass any verdicts regarding the abortion rights of that purple monster on his couch. Nancy Pelosi is the first female speaker of the house, Ethiopia and Somali fighters are battling six hundred Islamist militiamen in northern Somalia. Hell, a guy in New York City, of all places, saved a man who had fallen on the subway tracks. Construction worker Wes Autrey lept onto the tracks at New Yorks 137th street station to save a man who was having convulsions by the ledge and fell on the tracks. Mr. Autrey rolled them both to safety, like freakin' Superman and save the guys life, the train missing them by inches. That stuff is news, both good and bad for the new year and there is so much more going on in our world. So, what do I see the second I turn on my daily news? Britney Spears passed out drunk at a club, shocking! This report was about ten minutes long, there was three entertainment officials, about as high on the hollywood scum list as movie reviewers I might add, and one of those E.T. public relations bottomfeeders discussing whether or not it was time for Brit to get shipped off to rehab and if her family and career would survive. As I was saying, it took ten minutes before this babbling brook of stupid had finally run out of moron water and then what I got was three blurbs about local shootings, one not to far from my house, two car accidents, five minutes of world news, a little bit of sports, a truck load of commercials and a weather forcast. I love the fact that a southern California weather forcaster can stretch the words"sunny and mild" to six and a half minutes. My point gentle reader is this. There are things happening in or world, some wonderful, others horrible, I think the media and the world government don't really want us to pay attention to what's going on around us, it keeps the masses complacent and content as cattle. Just heed my words" the snake you don't see is ussually the one that bites you in the ass". I love and hate the internet now love it because if you search you can find what you seek, hate it because I sit on my kiester for two and a half hours a day looking through turds to find the corn, so to speak. As for the Britney Spears speculators I'll just say this, you don't worry about our little Britney, she'll be just fine, everyone gets a bit knackered on new years, so come on, leave the poor girl alone, first off she is a single mother now, second a former child star from a very religious, southern baptist upbringing and lastly, she is from the south! you see Hollywood, when you put all that together I think you come up with one very stable individual.
