It’s the first Friday in August and with all the heat around I’m feeling a little lethargic. These headlines sure piqued my attention though!

Headline: 15-year-old French teen ripped in half by shark in Indian Ocean. Wow. If that’s not a headline to get your attention nothing is.

Headline: Spitzer refuses to deny rumors of ‘extra-marital affair’. Anthony Wiener and Eliot Spitzer. Can you imagine the howls from the mainstream media if these two clowns were Republicans? It would never happen, of course, because at least most Republicans still have a shred of decency. Liberal politicians don’t, of course – they know the media has their backs until their transgressions get so outrageous that they have to resign.

Headline: The Danger of Clinton Fatigue. To whom? The country, which after nearly six years of Barack Obama has completely lost its capacity for making government and its presidential appointees accountable for their actions, or Clinton herself? She’s a woman with virtually no accomplishments other than an uninspiring eight years as First Lady, a do-nothing Senator, and a Secretary of State whose reign that is, if not downright criminal, is at the very least the definition of incompetent.

Headline: Tiger Woods unhappy with PGA Championship greens at Oak Hill. Since When did Tiger Woods morph from perhaps the greatest golfer of all time to a crotchety whiner about how major champions are set up? Does Tiger understand everyone has to play under the same conditions?

Headline: Free Press editorial page editor no longer with Times Free Press. No, really. As the first line in the article states:

Free Press editor Drew Johnson has been terminated after placing a headline on an editorial outside of normal editing procedures.

I guess the “free” press isn’t so free when criticizing President Obama is concerned. Good gracious. What kind of a country have we become?

Headline: Cummings: ‘I cross the street’ when white women walk toward me. Hey, pal, that’s your problem not mine. 🙂

Me? I go to the next checkout line whenever there are women in my intended line, even if it means going to a non-express one. Guys know how to supermarket shop, women don’t.
