Wag the Dog?

So Vice President Dick Cheney is shooting folks in the face now? "We don't believe you. You need more people." Call me a little skeptical but I don't buy this one. Now, this is definitely a conspiracty theory blog so I may get some angry comments, but I don't care. I really don't think this happened.

Last week, before this news came out people were talking about domestic wire tapping, Karl Rove and everybody's favorite Scooter, Mr. Libby. This week we could care less about all that because the VP shot a man.

The White House is running out of excuses for everything that they've done and know the only thing you can do to take the heat off is to get folks talking about something else. A classic media ploy.

Uh oh. Mike Brown is in front of Congress singing like a canary (which was classic). Better give the "victim" a heart attack.

"Heart attack...that's serious. This guy might die. Do you think they'll charge Cheney if the guy dies?"

That should buy them another week.

What's even funnier is they're saying it's the "victim's" fault that he got shot. He apparently didn't announce himself. Unless homeboy said "shoot me" than it CAN'T be his fault.


On to some other things.

JJ Redick broke the all-time 3-pointers made record last night. The guy who held it before him, Curtis Staples, also played in the ACC at Virginia. That's not the amazing thing. The amazing thing is that they're BOTH from Roanoke, VA. That's a huge coincidence for them both to come from Roanoke.

It's 2006 and Maryland STILL can't beat Clemson. Are you serious? It's Clemson.

Figure Skating is NOT...NOT a sport. One of the commentators on NBC's coverage of the Olympics described a move as "delightful." What other sport would the adjective "delightful" be used to describe something. The day I hear John Madden say "That run by LaDainian Tomlinson was delightful" is the day I stop watching football...FOR REAL.
