10 ) Massive wildfires ravage Texas. Guys, c’mon, you really don’t have to make EVERYTHING bigger there.
9 ) Obama reveals the jobs plan that Republicans will sentence to death by a thousand petty gripes.
8 ) Rick Perry stands by the Republican principles of liberty for all, freedom of personal choice, separation of church and state, and keeping government out of people’s personal lives and signs a pledge vowing to amend the Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. Hey, wait…
7 ) A 17-year-old in DYS custody uses a day pass given to him so he could attend a Red Sox game to instead kill a teen in the South End. Insane amounts of righteous indignation are entirely appropriate here.
6 ) Brookline voters are set to consider a proposal to ban the recitation of the pledge of allegiance from public schools. Veterans fire back that this isn’t why they fought for their country. So yeah, both sides are a little clueless.
5 ) Rapper Soulja Boy catches hell from a USMC vet for a song containing the lyrics “[Expletive deleted] the FBI and the army troops.” Ill-advised? Definitely. Offensive? Almost certainly. Disrespectful? Pretty much. Something to apologize for? Not necessarily, not as long as the First Amendment thingee is still in effect.
4 ) Sarah Palin makes another (non) campaign stop in New Hampshire, where she criticized the media for not scrutinizing Obama enough in 2008. Remember, you kids who might want to go into politics one day: when the media hounds you, it’s persecution; when the media hounds the other guy, it’s vetting the candidate.
3 ) Rick Perry and Mitt Romney face off in the latest Republican presidential candidate debate! Just the two of them, mano-a-mano, governoro-a-governoro, no one else to — what? There were other candidates there too? Jeez, you wouldn’t know it by the way the media is presenting it.
2 ) Speaking of the debate, Jon Huntsman chided his colleagues for poo-pooing things like climate change and evolution. “You can’t run from science,” he said before he was branded as a heretic and tested as a witch on the dunking stool.
1 ) Kate Gosselin claims she’s “freaking out” at the thought of not being on TV anymore and having to live a normal life. Oh, Kate, I’m sure if you really tried you could Lohan your way back into the spotlight. Y’know, for the kids.
