It seems like this week was big for news. However, the news that was covered wasn’t of any great importance. Or, it shouldn’t be…

• The Arizona state police mistakenly pulled over the Wienermobile, thinking it was a stolen vehicle.
• Paris Hilton’s first post-jailtime interview on Larry King Live brought in more viewers than any and all of the 2004 Presidential Debates.
• Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman and former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy received sentencing yesterday.
• Current Alabama Governor Bob Riley has given up on doing the rain dance, and is asking for prayer for rain because of the drought.

There are several questions that are in my mind… and I believe they are all relevant.

• Seriously?? Who checks the plates of the Wienermobile? Don’t you think that even the employees required to drive that thing don’t want to drive it? I mean, it’s the Wienermobile.
• People, come on… it’s Paris Hilton. Boohoo, she suffered. I don’t think she did enough time in my personal opinion. And I think it’s crazy all of the media time that is spent on her release, when we’ve got a wacko VP in the White House hiding God knows what, and a war across the world that we’re paying out the noses for so many deaths. Paris Hilton is not that big of a deal.
• Finally, they’re getting sentenced. And I actually do believe Siegelman’s claim that he was part of a Rove plot to eliminate Democratic control. But, hopefully when it goes to appeals, Scrushy will still get more time. That man is the devil in a nice suit.
• When is anyone going to listen to Al Gore??? He’s a pretty smart fellow. It’s global warming, folks… we’ve done it to ourselves. God is probably laughing at us right now since we’ve not taken care of the planet. The U.S. is one of the worst at cutting corners to save a buck without care to the environment.

OK, enough whining and complaining.
