Az I See It....
Prologue: U.S. health care reform, in any form, will not begin until 2012, when according to the Mayan calendar, it will no longer be necessary!
International: As part of the international effort to change negative climate change, the U.S. Dept. of Energy is awarding $1B to three major corporations, to capture CO2, while the Dept. of War is only offering $25M to capture Osama Bin Laden. Energy is still a better investment!....Legislation in Uganda would allow for the execution of gays, while in the U.S., states are debating whether or not to allow gay marriage. Same thing!
National: ABC-TV will regret dumping Charles Gibson, to appease Diane Sawyer, much the same as NBC-TV already regrets moving Jay Leno to the 10pm time slot, to appease the idiotic Conan O'Brien!....100 years ago, boxing great Jack Johnson, the first Black to win the world heavyweight championship, was later convicted of having sex with a White woman. A recently attempted posthumous pardon was denied by the U.S. Justice Department. It is suspected that President Obama will grant the pardon, as soon as he grants a pardon for Tiger Woods!....The legendary Bat Masterson has died. Acted on early television by Gene Barry, who also portrayed the lead character in Burke's Law, Barry has died, at the age of 90. Most young boys reveled with their gold-tipped canes, which secreted a derringer in the handle, in the days when toy guns were just that, and not career training as they are today!....Medicare premium increases for 2010 were planned and approved in the 2002 and 2008 legislative sessions, but Republicans are trying to blame it on Obama, while the president is working to ensure seniors are provided with a $250 payment to make up for the increases and lack of COLA increases. Who's your Daddy?....Republicans also failed in their attempts to derail any long-term care coverage from reform laws. FOX News then reported that Republicans were being misrepresented!Still watching FOX News?....Democratic Senators are happy - many receiving pork project funds for their states, included in the health care reform legislation. Meanwhile, Sen. McCain(R - Az), who says he NEVER accepts any pork monies, and represents one of the then poorest states, is outraged that they are getting the funds; and Schwarzenegger(R - Ca) is outraged that he could not get any(he voted against reform!)....
State: ASU President Michael Crow is urging graduates, most facing immediate unemployment, to help the U.S. economy to recover, by paying back their ASU loans, and donating to the university!....The Centers for Disease Control reports that Arizona ranks 5th, nationally, in 'Happy!' Louisiana, Hawaii, and Florida are 1, 2, and 3, respectively. New York City ranks 50th. The study was based on such factors as good schools(Az ranks 49th), low crime(Az ranks among the worst, annually), and short commute times(Arizonans think they are among the worst!) Data was evidently provided by School Stupid-Intendent Tom Horne, Public Safety Detractor, Jack Harris, and Short-term commute(hopefully) Gov. Jan Brewer!....Newly proposed federal job stimulus plans are not expected to make any difference for Arizonans, as Arizona jobs don't pay much, and most Arizonans are tired of working, anyway!
Local: The new Beardsley/Loop 101 connection construction bid has come in at $16M under expectations. While city officials rejoice in this time of economic uncertainty, the final tally will most likely be only $32M over budget!
Epilogue: The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner is said to be 'the greatest plane in the sky!' Sure - but how will it handle if it has to land on the Hudson River?

Michael Crow continues to ignore Governor Brewer's command to stop spending. He keeps hiring people to improve his own image. ASU is nothing but a second rate school. Always has been and always will be.
Crow also spends lavishly to ruin and decimate the careers of people he doesn't like, just as he did at Columbia in the case of Chichilnisky vs Columbia.
Michael Crow is not the boy wonder the press makes him out to be. If someone would look further they'd find out the truth.
