JonBenet and Other Pompously Named Dead People

Boy, I don't know about you, but I can't get enough of this JonBenet thing. This is important news!

What's that you say? Warrentless wiretaps were deemed unconstitution? Syria doesn't want the UN on its border? North Korea is about to test a nuke?

Who the hell cares about Breaking News? Shut the fuck up and go back to your JonBenet coverage. I need to see the same 30sec of John Mark David Chapman Sirhan Sirhan Harvey Oswald Karr confess to the crimes again. I just gotta.

What is the fascination with this little girl? Ooooh, she's a rich little girl who was probably killed by her parents on Christmas. Big freaking deal. I'm sure somewhere in the US a black or latino girl was taken and could probably use the non-stop media coverage of her Amber Alert.

Newsflash: JonBenet has been dead longer than she was alive. The story is no longer relevant and less people care about than you think. Let that biatch Nancy Grace talk about it.

--What the hell is going on? Survivor stole my idea. They're breaking up the tribes along racial lines. Here's the reality show I suggested back in 2004.

3) Finally, we'll gather teams of 4 from every ethnic background imaginable
who'll compete various contests of skill, athletic ability, intelligence and
bravery to indeed discover which ethnicity should control the world. Winner gets
$10,000,000 and bragging rights. We'll call it The Amazing Race.

Yeah, pretty much the same idea right? Bastards! I want my money.

--Never saw this one coming...the lone survivor of the Sago Mine Disaster is suing. And he's pretty much named everyone except the governor of W Va. Might as well sue his dentist too. Should the man have all of his medical bills paid for? Absolutely. But he worked in the mine. He knew the risks. You mean to tell me that nobody, not him nor the people he worked with knew the equipment was faulty? C'mon. You picked a shitty job and you knew the consequences.

--I really hope people are seeing through the stupid ass ads being run by Dick Devos. you know the ones that quote editorials and columnists as actual news articles...what a joke. Gotta applaud him for calling out President Bush on him not meeting with the Big 3 Automakers though...

--I had diversity training on Monday. Yeah I know, you're shocked to hear that it was a Clear Channel sponsored event and that attendance was mandatory. It was mostly crap, but I have to say that the woman teaching it had her stuff together. Her name was Lisa Andrezejewski, but she pronounced her last name Ann-dress-key. I thought about all of that information and was immediately impressed. She somehow managed to find a way that eliminated "ze-jew" from her name. That takes skill and she proved herself much more diverse than I.

Sara and I are going camping this weekend including a 5-hour kayaking trip down the Kalamazoo river. Yay.
