END OF THE WEEK:
Another week, another batch full of (summer) memories, both good and bad. From the passing of the U.S. debt ceiling to the following credit downgrade, here are my picks of some of the best and most memorable moments from the past seven days (Note: I was in a bit of a hurry writing this post, so I apologize if some of you might think that this post lacked in the usual amount of material):
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: Debt Ceiling Deal Reached To Avert Default
And if you thought this partisan paralysis battle was unbearable, wait until September when the second government shutdown battle of the year rages on! As if there weren't any other reason to hate this session of Congress!
- The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: Nicki Minaj's Wardrobe Malfunction on "Good Morning America"
In other news: DAT ASS!
Video of the Week: "Man Accidentally Proposes to Girlfriend on Live TV"
...once again proving my theory that people tend to increase their horniness at airports.
Credit Downgrade of the Week: The United States From "AAA" to "AA+" by Standard & Poor's
In other words, because the Republicans are harebrained idiots driving the economy down the toilet because they refuse to raise revenue and because the Democrats have allowed their bullying to go on to what is now the Debt Ceiling Amendment Bill of 2011, a deal in which Boehner & company got 98% of what they wanted, the credit ratings agency has refused to keep them at a low-risk level of AAA. And there's a possibility that they might even lower it to an AA rating in the next two years if the long term outlook doesn't improve. Thanks, Congress! No wonder this batch of elected legislative officials was voted the most-hated of all-time.
Basketball Performance of the Week: Kevin Durant Scores 66 Points In Game at Rucker Park
Five straight fourth-quarter three pointers in a row from over 30 feet? Now that's the stuff of legends!
Person of the Week: Congressional Republicans
for getting 98% of what they wanted in the debt negotiations, duh. But, with the stock market falling this week not just here but around the world and Standard & Poor's credit downgrade, was it really all worth it?
And that's the way it was! Enjoy the rest of your Saturday, everyone!
