This is the top US News ? Give me a break !

I was looking at HYPERLINK http://www.google.com http://www.google.com news a few minutes ago.

I can't believe this is what is called "TOP NEWS" stories right now.

In order these are the top 5 stories in the US section.

It drives me crazy that they think we are this stupid. No wonder nobody gives a crap about this stuff anymore.

Check this out….

• HYPERLINK "http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-070829craig,0,7998893.story?coll=chi_mezz"Two GOP senators call for Idaho Sen. Larry Craig's resignation

Who cares about this guy? Does anybody even know who he is?

• HYPERLINK "http://today.reuters.com/investing/FinanceArticle.aspx?type=bondsNews&storyID=2007-08-29T141428Z_01_N28299025_RTRIDST_0_USA-IMMIGRATION-FEATURE.XML"FEATURE-US immigrants worry as families face deportation

Illegal aliens. In the country by breaking the law. If I went to Mexico without a Visa, they would throw my butt under the jail.

• HYPERLINK "http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/29/AR2007082900391.html?hpid=sec-nation"Abu Ghraib Officer Is Reprimanded

Not the commanding General.
Not the Pentagon supervisor. Not the commander of the guards.
Just a low ass Lt. Colonel , Steve Jordan (no relation) and he is the only officer ever charged in this mess.
The real story is who did not get charged. No reporting on that though.

HYPERLINK "http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/30/us/politics/30bundler.html?ref=politics"Clinton Donor Under a Cloud in Fraud Case

So? I cannot think of a reason to care about this.
HYPERLINK "http://cbs4.com/topstories/local_story_241113519.html"Karl Rove's Car Targeted By Pranksters
Give me a break
Not one of these so called "TOP NEWS" stories is actually a concern to the average American.
Who thinks up this crap (defecation, or as my son would say" …..Bovine defecation!!!) anyhow?

Thankx- bigmike

Men's Rules -Women should learn these!

 

• Women, learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
• Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not considered by us to be opportunities to see if we can find the perfect present again!
• Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
• Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
• Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her.
• Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
• We don't remember dates. . . .Period!!
• Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
• Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
• Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
• A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
• Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
• If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
• If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We've been tricked before!!
• If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
• Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.
• You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
• Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
• Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.
• The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.
• ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
• If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.
• If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
• If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
• Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
• Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what they're saying anyway.)
• BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
• Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know, it's like camping.

Barry Bonds and Bud Selig

Hello Everybody,

 

On 08/04/2007, Barry Bonds hit Homer 755 , tying him Hank Aaron for the most lifetime home runs in a career. One more Home run and he will own the record.

 

He has hit home runs off of 445 (I think) different pitchers in a 22 year baseball career.

 

Don't get me wrong, steroids are a bad thing. Until very recently, Baseball didn't do any better testing for them though than the WWE does (although I wish golfers would use them so I could see somebody hit a 600 yard drive). I think if baseball didn't want it to be this way, it wouldn't be this way. (steroid allegations and such).

 

The fact of the matter is though, Barry has never been indicted, charged, or convicted of any crime.

 

Unless and until he is, being as that I am an American, he will be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

 

In America however we are innocent (not guilty) until proven guilty (by a preponderance of the evidence) in a court of law. I am not going to jump on the "Barry is Guilty" bandwagon until that happens.

 

And no I am not naive, O.J. did it, Rodney King was guilty, Bush is incompetent, and Teddy Kennedy is still a loser drunk who gets elected year after year.

 

Bud Selig is the commissioner of Major League Baseball. He has basically been avoiding Barry because he is a petty small man who does not understand his role in baseball and he is afraid his image will be tarnished if he supports Barry in his quest for the record. What a meaningless commissioner he has been. He has been pretty worthless.

 

I sent the following email to Mr. Selig expressing my feelings toward his attitude. He should retire and leave the game. I am truly sick of this guy.

 

To Mr. Selig,

Commissioner, Major League Baseball

 

You sir, are a distraction to baseball. You do more harm to the name of the game and the good will of the game by distancing yourself from Barry Bonds and his achievements. If you truly understood your role as baseball's commissioner, as baseballs representative, as baseballs ambassador, you would have long ago understood it is important that you embrace  Barry and instead you shun him, distance yourself and politicize him.

 

You are baseball. You stand for all the good in the game, the bad in the game and are charged with upholding traditions and rules, for the sake of the integrity of the game.You see yourself I gather, as Baseballs CEO. I disagree. What a shame. It is sad that you will be remembered in history as the commissioner who was more worried about looking right than being right.

 

As my mama used to say, "It ain't about what you say that counts, it's what you do that matters." To send out a memo after number 755 is an embarrassment. You should be ashamed of yourself and your actions (or lack of it). The problem with your current stance is you acknowledge publicly with your current attitude that your true function is to be the owners mouthpiece. Obviously you are more concerned about how it may be perceived than you are about how it actually is.

 

I look forward to the day you retire.

 

Maybe then we can get on with the game and stop getting on with the business of the game.

 

Sincerely,

 

- bigmike
