Well for a Post Draft update…my beloved Packers actually did well!  I am happy with the overall draft, although I do admit to a minor heart attack when Thompson traded up for a 2nd 1st round pick!  I thought hell had frozen over cause that was certainly unexpected…after all his trademark draft policy is trade down for more picks…oh well.  It was fun to listen to all my friends panic when Cleveland kept trading down…and then of course there was the perpetual name pronunciations which just got even funnier when Bobby got a little drunk and couldnt say any name…so I sent him and Jessie some nice long Hawaiian names to try, which was even funnier! Oh well, overall the draft was kinda odd but still predictable…Oakland was crazy, Minnesota hasnt truly learned the lesson that talent doesnt outway personal issues, and the Patriots continued to master the trade down tactics and manipulate their way into multiple draft picks in this year and next years draft. 

Wow! Can Fox get anymore partison? Oh yes they can…Fox Broadcasting Company announced Monday it will not carry President Barack Obama’s prime time press conference marking his first 100 days in office, the first time a broadcast network has refused an Obama administration request for that valuable airtime. Yes it may be May Sweeps, but to have one of the big 4 media outlets decide not to air the coverage is kinda shocking…maybe Fox should become a CW, and do away with news all together…that wouldnt be a bad thing in my eyes!

Well its nice to see that the community is coming together in the trying times in Mexico…wait…you mean those people wearing surgical masks arent just protecting themselves and helping others? Wait…they robbed a watch store?! Oh well, guess humanity still has its issues…With a rise in the population of Mexico wearing surgical masks to help prevent against the Swine Flu, thief’s are taking advantage of the situation by robbing stores wearing the masks…thus disguising their appearance without looking conspicuous…Its not like merchants can tell the police…there in the blue surgical mask…cause the thief’s can just disappear into the masses..genius!

Wow, I knew the economy was tough, but in Serbia a union worker cut off his own finger in protest over overdue and unpaid wages. The worst part wasnt the cutting off of the finger…in demonstration as to how desperate he and others are, he ate his finger. Um…protest cannibalism as a way to show economic frustration? Have we really resorted to that drastic of measures?! Even I, who find cannibalism fascinating, am slightly disturbed by this new tactic…lets just hope it doesnt get picked up by the mainstream, or there will be alot of fingerless people running around.

Later!
