So Congress is going to investigate the massive blackout in the North East. I wonder what big government spending programs will be borne out of this.
Speaking of the blackout, we're already hearing how much it cost businesses. One news report said the city of New York claims to have lost as much as $800 Million. Next Gray Davis will claim that it cost California $38 Billion, and demand federal assistance.
Speaking of Davis, it looks like him and his cronies may get their wish. A federal judge is threatening to put the kibosh on the whole recall thing.
I don't know about you, but I'm dying for some juicy news and current events. The California recall, the power outages, and Kobe Bryant just aren't cutting it for me.
I don't know about you, but I like to spend some weekends drinking tall frosty beverages. I've never had Sam Adams Triple Bock, and after seeing this, I probably never will. The libation contains 17.5% alcohol, and a massive 340 calories. (Most beers have 4-6% alcohol and 100-150 calories.)
I was really dissappointed to see that Michael Vick was injured in a measly preseason game. I hope the broken leg doesn't have any long term effects on his mobility. With bigger, stronger, faster backs, it seems like more players are suffering game-ending or career ending injuries. It seems like it's no longer enough just to tackle a guy, now players think they have to hurt him or put him out of the game.
If you thought Reuters was anti-American before, this isn't going to make things any better.
