I'm starting a new thing called the News Blurb. I'm just listing some of the bigger things that have been in the news the past few weeks, things I don't have time to expound on them or spin my opinions on them (at least, not very much). But it's still stuff you should know, so I'm at least giving you a quick blurb.
1) Bush appoints Condoleeza Rice to replace Colin Powell as secretary of state. Some question her qualifications in that area.
2) Dan Rather steps down as CBS anchor. And of course they say it has NOTHING to do with the Bush memo scandal.
3) ABC incites mass outrage and criticism for their Monday Night Football opening skit involving Terrell Owens and a controversially clothed (or, rather, unclothed) actress from "Desperate Housewives." Did they learn nothing from CBS and the Superbowl?
4) There's some kind of controversy in Wisconsin as a hunter got shot. I don't know if it was deliberate or accidental, if it was over a turkey or whatnot. But it's still in the news.
5) Ron Artest is the Pacers player who asked for some time off because of his busy schedule, which included promoting his new rap CD. Now he has all the time he wants. In a recent brawl that included fans, Artest was suspended for the rest of the season. Ouch!
