Let’s look at the news!
I'm bored. Let's analyze today's news!
Reuters: Bush says pope sincere in apology on Islam - What? So the pope made some reference to crusader times islamic philosophy, the muslims get all rioty as usual, pope says he's sorry to have kicked off yet another muslim issue, and now Bush is giving the pope his official seal of approval. I'm convinced the pope has more global appeal than George W. Bush. The pope is supposed to be god's chosen on Earth. George W. Bush might have been elected by the people of the United States. And what happened to seperation of church and state? Who is George W. Bush to weigh in on such an issue?
AP: Iranian leader urges more papal protests - Well this is helpful. The leader of a country whose religion is primarily Islam, the religion of peace, is urging more rioting over what the pope said. Let's break it down a little here. Let's take this to a lower level. Do these people not have jobs? When a public figure deals muslims a black eye do they all drop what their doing to start riots? I suppose the country of Iran did not grind to a halt or else it's leaders wouldn't have to urge more rioting. What would happen if the catholic church were to take up a similar stance? What would happen if every slight to the catholic church started riots in the streets?
E! Online News: Shocking! Willie Nelson Busted for Pot - Even for E!, this is not news. This is like when they busted Snoop Dogg for possession. Somebody in the police department didn't fill their quota, saw old Willie, and knew he could make an easy bust if he searched him. Did they even get him with intent to distribute because they found a pound and a half on him? It's Willie Nelson. He's not selling it. He's smoking it. There's something hypocritical about how someone as public as Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg can take such a huge pro-pot stance and no one really seems to care and then someone comes along and busts them way after the fact. If they were going to crack down of Willie Nelson's pot habit, shouldn't they have started decades ago? I don't think this is really going to teach him any lesson at this point.
