CATAGORIES: WEEK IN REVIEW — FloridaBill @ 8:33 am

File under Week 24 of 2008 (Happy Friday the 13th)

At least seven tornadoes touched down in the greater Chicago area last Saturday and this guy wants to save his stuffed salmon in Indiana. Upon reading this headline (WIR note: It has since been changed dangit), I thought “hey, maybe they should move to a different place”. They will likely be rebuilding this Boy Scout Camp if not relocating it after it was ravaged by a tornado on Wednesday evening. Four scouts lost their lives. Tornadoes Suck. Floods too.

Big Brown laid a Big Brown Egg at the Belmont and came in dead last after winning both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. Dead last to a 38 to 1 long shot. Go figure. I think he had all those mares on his mind and just wasn’t in the game.

Here is another hero gone down: Ken “The Snake” Stabler. He caught his third dewey on Monday morning. Check out his booking photo and the story that calls him “the hardest drinking man ever to wear the Crimson and White”. Joe Willy may have something to say about that.

Cedric Benson also caught another dewey and was booted from the Bears. Dumbass. He will soon be playing with Tank down in Dallas.

NASCAR was sued by a former employee. You can read the suit here and then let me know what you think. I think she made a bunch of that shit up.

The Chicago Bulls have hired Vinnie “Don’t call me Negro” Del Negro as their new head coach. Note that the headline uses the words “hand” and “job” and that pretty much describes how the Bulls will perform with him as the coach. He has no coaching experience whatsoever. Nice. Well done Mr. Paxson. Reinsdork saves another penny.

In other sports this week, there can only be one and it looks like it will be the Celtics.

CinLin posted on the demise of journalist and sportscaster Jim McKay. I wonder what he would have said about this picture:

(Coco Crisp; is that the dudes real name?)

There was big news in tomatoes this week when a salmonella outbreak caused most places to go tomato free.

This article reminded me of what Yarbz has been saying for years about vinyl.

This guy may want to have his head examined.

How about this headline: Single Horned Beast Appears ? The thing is hardly a beast and why can’t they just say unicorn?

This guy takes the cake in Fucktardary and his conviction seems to be most righteous. I bet he enjoys further torture whilst in the care of the state. He was given some strong competition this week from this Fucktard in Japan. Then there were these two Fucktards (warning: graphic content that may make you ill), Nymeen Cheatham, 30, and her companion Lemar Martin, 25, who did horrible things to a 3 year old until they killed him. They should suffer the same fate. Repeatedly. He was only three. Now he is gone.

As if this was news to anybody. How can the price of gas go up EVERYDAY? This ain’t supply and demand at work here, it is greed.

I hate to provide another link from a popular source, but this story about high grocery prices was just too depressing not to post. With the weather destroying crops in the Midwest, it can only get worse.

Happy healthy weekends to all.
