Az I See It....
Prologue: Pfizer Pharmaceuticals has announced that they will assist the unemployed by offering one free-year of Viagra to those in need, giving new meaning to the term 'hard up!'
International: In Berlin, a 35,000-year old sculpture of a woman has been recognized as possibly the oldest human sculpture. Discovered in six fragments, it has been identified as possibly being that of Joan Rivers!....Renowned film director Roman Polanski, 75, and living in France, has been denied dismissal of a 1977 conviction for having had sex with a then 13-year old girl. It is amazing that people continue to boycott and protest Jane Fonda for her treasonous acts during the Viet Nam War, but eagerly await the release of new film offerings from this convicted child rapist!....An 8-year old girl was granted a divoce from her 50-year old husband. Saudi Arabian Muslim officials oppose establishing a minimum age of 18 for marriage - there is none, now - defending the custom by adding, 'there's no minimum age required to be a Catholic altar boy!'
National: In Fort Worth, Texas, parasitic Phorid flies are being released into the eco-system, so that their maggots can invade fire ant colonies, eating their brains from the inside-out, and turning them into virtual zombies. If successful, public school administrators promise to use these flies on teachers, to stem any future unionized activities!....On June 12th, all television broadcasts will be digital. In order to prevent having to use a digital converter box for future space transmissions, the crew of the space shuttle Atlantis is installing a 350 mile long cable, from the Hubble telescope to Earth!....A Dioscece of Miami priest may lose his priesthood, because he has admitted that he has loved a woman for twenty years. In an effort to avert a controversy on celibacy, church officials have compromised, allowing the priest to remain, if he promises to only have sex with consenting altar boys!
State/Local: Anytime the President of the United States is scheduled to speak - anywhere - there are logistics that cannot be avoided. Arizona State University mad a difficult situation worse, when President Obama spoke at the recent commencement. 71,000 people were herded into limited areas for security searches, causing hundreds to succumb to heat illnesses due to the estimated 150F on the ASU parking lot blacktop. Volunteers distributed water - and it was as warm as the blacktop - to anyone who requested it, until it ran out! Hundreds of Doctoral candidates had their names individually called, and walked the stage to shake hands with the President, but the twenty U.S. Armed Forces officer candidates were not allowed the same! Shuttle services that brought patrons to the stadium(a 20-minute, 2-block ride) were not available for the return trip, and people were only allowed to exit the stadium on the north side - almost a 1-mile walk to the nearest light rail station - a huge problem for the many older folks who had survived through at least six hours of oppressive heat and music from Alice Cooper's son Daschiell(it helps to know someone!) There's more, but it alredy hurts to relive it! The highlights - Obama's speech and his swearing-in of the new Army/Air Force Officers, and Alice Cooper rocking the house with School's Out for Summer! And Obama made the University President's decision to decline conferring an Honorary degree to him an even bigger embarrassment, making light of it, and using it for the impetus of his message to the gradutes. In all, ASU's President should eat Crow!
Epilogue: George W. Bush is now in his 9th year of not being President. - David Letterman

ASU did the right thing by denying the degree...Notre Dame caved into pressure....Nobody has every been able to declare what "O" has ever done to deserve a degree!!!But then I am waiting on a birth certificate to be produce...not just a record of birth from Hawaii
