Here's a list of news stories I just don't know how to respond to.
(In other words: I'm sick of hearing about them and the spin that goes along with them.)
I will now take a couple of minutes and give my brief, crass (& in most cases uninformed) opinion of them.
Anna Nicole Smith - My final opinion: Who cares?! Tragic? Yes. Feel sorry for the kid.
The Alberto Gonzales hearing - My opinion: Huh?
Here's my opinion based on what little I know about it. All we have is hearsay from the accusers. Most people don't know enough or haven't paid attention enough (myself included) to care. In my opinion, this doesn't look like revenge on political enemies, but if so, so what? Like it didn't happen in other administrations? I know that wouldn't make it right - but to me it seems like they are just trying to play "gotchya" again. (Remember Scooter Libby?)
Imus Get's Canned - As I see it: Dunno, don't care!
Actually, my biggest concern with this one is that he got lumped in with "conservative" talk show hosts who supposedly say racist, bigoted, sexist things all the time and seemingly get away with it. (huh?) I do listen to "conservative" talk radio occasionally and haven't heard anything like what Imus said - even in jest! As for Imus - I don't think he'll be missed.
The Virginia Tech Shooting - This was a nightmare!!!
However, now the way the media is playing it, we're somehow supposed to feel sorry for this clown because of his isolated upbringing. And, of course this tragedy is being used (by the left) as another case for gun control. Leave it alone whydontchya! If a bad guy wants to get a gun - he's going to get a gun! If this clown hadn't gotten his gun legally - he would have gotten it illegally. I could easily walk out my door right now, go about 5 blocks and procure a weapon within a couple of hours, just by asking a few people. I know this for a fact. When I lived in Pasadena, I was offered all kinds of unbelievable stuff at least on a weekly basis. What good will it do to pass more laws? At the end of the day, we'll feel better about ourselves I guess.
That's all I've got to say about that.
