CATAGORIES: WEEK IN REVIEW — FloridaBill @ 8:00 am

File under Week 16 of 2009.

How about those US Navy snipers whose shooting accuracy and prowess helped to rescue the Maersk Captain, Richard Collins, who had been taken hostage. Imagine, if you will, how difficult those three shots must have been. You are on a boat in the high seas, shooting at a target on another boat bobbing around in the water. You have to make the shot or the guy you are trying to rescue gets it. This story also reveals our first nominee for Fucktard of the Week: 16-year-old Mohamed Abdi. Sixteen!

Other nominees this week include the following:
Andrew Thomas Gallo who, in a drunken driving accident, killed Angels’ pitcher Nick Adenhart and two other people.
Mario Ramirez, who for no apparent reason, walked into a hospital in CA and starting shooting co-workers. He killed himself along with two tohers.
Melissa Huckaby is now the prime suspect in the death of young Sandra Cantu in California. Huckaby was arraigned for murder and rape on Tuesday.
20-year-old Sixto Balbuena is a Fucktard for stabbing another guy in a teacher/ex-teacher love triangle.
How about these two idiots who robbed an adult video store? Thanks Jason (see you next week). Here’s a pic:

I am not at all sure if this guy is a Fucktard or not. I am pretty sure that he is (or at least was at one time). What do you think? Seems that no one really knows; except, of course, him.

This week’s must click headlines:
Man had tree growing in lung. OMG. I think I am gonna call BS on this…
Incoming Asteroid under close watch. OMG again. Leave the tinfoil in the box, it won’t be back for a few years.
Hulk Hogan: I totally understand O.J. Huh? I totally understand the sentiment, but you just can’t say that.
Citi Field is an embarrassment. Not much surprise there.
Ten Years Later – The Real Story behind Columbine. The story quotes Dave Cullen throughout.

On a much lighter note, Bobama arrived this week to much fuss and adulation.

Teabagging may have taken on new meaning this week. I meant to attend a small Tea Party in my hometown on Wednesday. However, when I saw the traffic and congestion, I bailed. When I saw this story on CNN yesterday, I thought, once again, they must read this blog (or my mind or my drafts of the WIR on my computer).

Tea Party

I would never bail if headed to tomorrow’s A-Game in Tuscaloosa.

From the “I hate it when this happens file” comes this story about a local couple who got crushed by the Golden Arches. With picture!

Did I hear the phrase “ Great Googly Moogly” on a TV commercial this week?

Best of luck to the Bulls and the Blackhawks in their respective playoffs.

Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.
