With 2006 kicking into gear, I thought it might be nice to take a look back at several of the top stories that captured print and news space in 2005 (whether or not they earned it)
Avian bird flu: The Avian bird flu appears to have reached the USA in 2005, it’s just most people have failed to diagnosis it correctly. The flu struck the NFL this year. In the waning days of the 2005 season, all but one bird team stumbled through 16 weeks of the professional football season and ended up with even or losing records; talk about lame ducks! The bright spot…Seattle Seahawks!
Tsunami’s: Giant waves of protest crashed ashore near Crawford, Texas this year. Growing unrest and doubt with the war in Iraq lead mothers and protesters to squat at the Bush family compound- if only they could have kept him there!
Mother Nature: Like her or not, we are stuck with her! If the religious right is to be believed, and what happened to New Orleans (never mind all the other people and places impacted) is payback for the decadent lifestyle embraced in the Crescent City; I would hate to see what mamma has in store for Vegas!
Michael Jackson: If a jury of someone’s peers can’t convict him and throw him in jail, then we got the next best thing…after his trial he moved out of the country! A bunch of nitwit jurors claimed that they knew he was guilty; they just chose to declare him innocent! Of course, what good would it do for their proposed book deals if he didn’t walk?
Steroids in Sports: the juice is loose and is coursing through the veins of an athlete near you! Those who deny it the loudest are simply suffering from “’roid rage”! What the world needs now is more Bode Millers to tell it straight!
Stuucks: “Bennifers”, “TomKats”, “Brangelina’s”, and my favorite, “Nicka” ( this almost caught the essence of Nick and Jessica…in the way of nincompoops!) Whoever started the contracted names of dating Hollywood folks needs to stop! I have just two words for the person who started this trend “stuuck”.
