END OF THE WEEK:
Another week, another batch full of new stuff that we paid attention to. Let's just do this...
Death of the Week: Joe Paterno
The final weeks of his life was the exact opposite of a fond farewell, and one that has forever tarnished his one flawless resume. Nonetheless, his contributions to Penn State University both on the field (all-time winningest college football coach) and off of it (millions of dollars donated to the universities and numerous charities) are not to be forgotten.
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: The 2012 State of the Union Address/Republican Response
Loved the part when Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels suggested that Obama was initiating class warfare mere minutes after Obama blatantly denied it. Otherwise, there's nothing much to say that hasn't already been said about the President's early campaign speech. Thought the address could've used more salmon jokes, if you ask me.
-The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: Demi Moore Hospitalized After Inhaling Whip-Its Full of Nitrous Oxide
I hate to say this, but it looks like Ashton bailed just in time.
Erotic Cake of the Week: The One That Miley Cyrus Was Eating in These Pictures (NSFWish)
At this point with the racy Anne Lebowitz photos and the salvia controversy and now this, isn't it pretty much pointless for people to continue to protest about how she isn't a good role model for the kids?
Choker of the Week: Newt Gingrich
You had the momentum heading into Florida after winning the South Carolina primaries and making conservatives question Mitt Romney as Obama's potential opponent, and you blew it with two lackluster performances at this week's debates. Now ole' Mittens is in command before the big showdown this Tuesday (to the relief of Republicans that went in panic mode once the possibility of Gingrich winning increased). However, considering how last week was just the second time that you rose in the polls after your presidential future looked bleaked, I can't say that I'm counting you out just yet.
Video of the Week: "90's Megamix"
Time well spent, both for him and for me as the viewer.
Speaking of time well spent...
Person of the Week: Blogger Dominic Strain
who in a post for the blog Murk Avenue actually managed to solve one of music's greatest mystery. That's right folks, he found out the day that Ice Cube was singing about in the song "Good Day": January 20th, 1992. Here's a transcript from Strain's earth-shattering revelation:
"The ONLY day where:
Yo MTV Raps was on air
It was a clear and smogless day
Beepers were commercially sold
Lakers beat the SuperSonics
and Ice Cube had no events to attend was…
JANUARY 20 1992
National Good Day Day"
If this doesn't receive a Pullitzer Prize for investigative journalism, then the institution is officially dead to me (and I'm not even joking). Congratulations, Mr. Strain. From one blogger to another, I'd say that you made your entire profession proud. Now could you please tell me what date R.E.M. says the world will end? I've been trying to find that answer out for years!
UPDATE (03/05): Nevermind. Turns out there was never any real specific "good day" after all. Ice Cube ruins everything.
And that's the way it was! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Sincerely,
Your pal: mj15
