Mid Week Update

Its time once again for the Two Minute Drill. The one stop for all your rambling editorial needs!!

Tuesday afternoon Johnnie Cochran, the famed attorney who most recently got OJ Simpson of the hook for murder, passed away. The cause of death was listed as complications from a brain tumor. With his flashy style and commanding court room presence, Johnnie became something of a celebrity in the legal circuit. He will always be linked with OJ, but in reality Johnnie was always helping out the African American community, famous or not. My condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Cochran.

Funny how a few days ago I joked that I would hire him as MY lawyer if I ever got into serious trouble.

A powerful earthquake rocked the tsunami ravaged area of Indonesia killing over 1,000 people. Even though the earthquake was about a 8.2 on the ricther scale scientist are baffled as to why it didnt cause a huge tsunami. I mean they're relieved no doubt, but it is strange. One theory is that this earthquake wasnt cenetered as deep in the ocean as the one that struck in late December. Whatever the reason, its too bad that these people have to deal with yet another catastrophe. This is the first time in recorded history that two earthquakes of such a powerful magnitude struck within months of each other. I'm sure there's reason to be alarmed about that somwhere.

Its been about 13 days since Ms Schiavo has gone without food or water. Reportedly she is near death and can go at any minute..

ITS RANDOM RANT TIME!!!! You know the rules!! First thought that comes to my head..which is scary..here we go!

-Barry Bonds = crybaby!! Oh..boo-hoo!! My knee hurts and i'm tired of you media guys making a big issue of me cheating. Its time for this guy to shut up and just go away...

-This whole Terry Schiavo issue has divided the country again. Basically between the religious right (the same group of idiots that got Bush re-elected) and moderate left. Funny how there are people all over the US that may be in similar situations, but there are no protestors in front of their hospitals. No congressional order keeping them alive. Etc..This thing just got blown out of proportion. The government had NO BUSINESS getting involved in this. Period.

-So Wonder Woman is finally going to be made into a movie. This movie has been stuck in devlopment limbo a LLOONNGG time. Almost as long as "Superman Returns". No word yet on who would play the Amazonian princess, but the safe bet is that it will be an unknown actress so that they save SOME money and put it to use on the production and effects of the film

-X-Men 3 is back on track now. FOX is trying to get all the key cast members to return. Dont look for this film to appear til MAYBE next summer or 2007.

-Anyone seen that new breakfast burger from Burger King?? The friggn thing has more calories and fat than a WHOPPER!!! I think the serving suggestion is something like "Eat only ONE a year.." I'm surprised they dont sell that thing with a waver saying you cant sue if you have a heart attack after eating one.

OK, that will do it for now. Hope you are all doing great. Til the next time!!
