1. This should have been last week, but the Sopranos ending. Not the actual ending of the last episode, but the fact the series is over with. Don't talk about HBO's new programming, nothing will ever replace that show. Ever.
2. Joseph Frederick, the apathetic generation's new free speech hero, lost his case after the Supreme Court ruled that his suspension was granted when Mr. Frederick unfurled a "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" banner at a school event. Granted, free speech is extremely important. The Supreme Court ruled further to be stricter on students who appear to be advocating illegal drugs. Mr. Frederick's heart is in the right place, and the Supreme Court shouldn't be ruling to limit student's free speech even more, but this is blatantly Mr. Frederick's fault. If one is going to fight for free speech, step one is to grow up. If Joseph had sucked it up and taken a 10 day suspension, students would have that much more free speech. How does that look fighting for free speech concerning a sign that was a very childish joke? The next John and Mary Beth Tinker you are not, Joseph Frederick.
3. "The Secret", Oprah's new favorite bestseller, pushes thinking positive thoughts (I will get that new car) instead of going out and working for that new car. It's a wonder why the new diet pill Alli is so popular. Get this: one has to eat well and excercise too.
4. Roy L. Pearson, a Washington D.C. man, sought $54 million from a dry cleaner who lost his favorite pair of pants. (The case was recently thrown out) The legal fees have been hard to pay for the Chungs, the owners of the dry cleaners, immigrants from Korea. Pearson was also reportedly crying during certain parts of the case. Here's the kicker: Roy L. Pearson is a judge.
5. According to CNN: Dick Cheney, in an attempt to avoid cooperation with an agency that oversees classified documents, claimed he and his office were not parts of the executive branch, and therefore did not have to fork over secret documents. Well Mr. Cheney, in case you hadn't noticed, your title is the VICE PRESIDENT. As in, if anything happened to the president, (who just so happens to be a part of the executive branch, since, I don't know, 1789) you would become the next one. Who even defends this administration anymore? They are so corrupt and so secretive that the only way anybody supports them is if they haven't learned about all this corruption because of the secrecy. It's all too clear now.
