END OF THE WEEK:
Another week, another seven days in which a bunch of stuff happened. Here are the stuff that I thought was worth mentioning:
Political Victor of the Week: Rick Santorum
who swept this week in the Republican primaries by narrowly edging Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich in both Alabama and Mississippi, gaining closer to Romney in the delegate count and continuing his padding his case for the nomination with yet another victory in the so-called "Bible Belt" region. The next stop is Illinois, where he's currently trailing Romney in all major polls. Although, considering the things that he's been dealing with in the state, I'm sure that he's excited to just get the hell outta there as possible.
Firing of the Week: Bear Grylls from Discovery Channel
The man behind "Man vs. Wild" has been relieved of his duty from Discovery due to continuing contractual disputes. But don't worry, fans of Grylls, I'm sure that he will find a new TV network to call home very soon. For wherever man needs to be told how to survive in unlivable conditions, or just needs a new "Drink My Own Piss" meme to get a quick joke from, he'll be there.
Video of the Week: "The George Takei Happy Dance"
Set phasers to "delightful!"
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: American Sargaent Allegedly Kills 16 Afghan Civilians in Brutal Massacre
-The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: "Kony 2012" Video Director Found in San Diego Masturbating in Public
Awareness of a different kind.
TV Cancellation of the Week: "Luck"
Such a shame that three horses dying on set had to be the reason for the show's cancellation, and not for the inevitable one it was going to get a year from now for its poor ratings. Plus, a David Milch horse series with Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte only comes along once in a while, but whatever. At least we can all take comfort in knowing that the only deaths to thoroughbred horses will be experiencing from now on will be in real life horse racing.
Person of the Week: Utah Governor Gary Herbert
And that's the way it was! Enjoy what's left of your St. Patrick's Day weekend!
