This Week in Weird: I

So this week has been pretty tragic so far as the media would have me to feel.
Below are a bunch of newsworthy stories that are national quality news, but have no impact on day to day life of 99% of the nation.

So first up in this weeks list of uncanny coincidences: Farrah Fawcett's Death

This week had a series of celebrity deaths that we should all be overly concerned about and let them eclipse the non-important things in life like the tyranny goining on in Iran, or the stock market, or pretty much anything that could remotely be deemed important by the competent.

Sadly for Farrah who had just finished a documentray about her life and her soon to be passing, she too was eclipsed by a larger name, Michael Jackson, who passed but a few hours after her.

On that note, check Obama's comments on Michael Jackson... does everyone seem to forget that whole peodophelia thing a few years back? Oh well... one thing we certainly wont foget soon is that the South Carolina Governor, Mark Sanford recently went missing.

It was discovered over the holiday weekend that Sanford was missing and soon his staff realized that no one knew where he was... Apparently someone did, because the truth surfaced that he was hiking the appalachain trail.

It wasnt until mid week when Sanford returned on a plane from the AT that the true truth surfaced and it was revealed that he went to Argentina instead of the AT to "clear his head."

Now one notable thing here is that if Sanford were to have lied to his staff about his whereabouts over father's day weekend, he would be breaking the federal wire fraud law, punishable with 20 years in camp cupcake.

The notable part is that 20 years is the maximum charge for 14 counts of child molestation, profiding alcohol to minors, and many more charges. Why is this relevant? Michael Jackson, was originally indicted with these charges, though he later got acquited...

I wonder, if it's so easy to get off of 14 counts of child molestation... is there any reason to even bother bringing up charges against Sanford... all he did was have an affair which in no way compares to rape...

Anyways, real tragedy struck this morning when Billy Mays was found dead inside his house.

Billy Mays was the late night TV infomercial dude that had struck a chord with many people who are up late watching crappy TV. His infomercials were actualy worth watching... if you were up really late, and there was nothing else on...

Well, at least after this crazy week we still have Vince with ShamWoW!!!
