Prologue: A dry cleaner pays you, if he loses your suit. If a lawyer loses your suit, he still takes you to the cleaners!
International: John Paul II has been fast-tracked beatified, the next step in becoming a saint. The Vatican has taken this approach to squelch a rising protest, because even this esteemed 'Servant of God' is known to have perpetuated the child sexual abuse practiced by the Catholic priesthood, during his many years as Pope!....In a setback to Islamic terrorist beliefs, upon his death, Osama bin Laden was met by 72 Virginians who will shoot him in the head for all eternity!....What if bin Laden's body was dropped into an area of the ocean affected by radioactivity from Japan's recent nuclear catastrophe? I see a B-movie in the making!....Former President Jimmy Carter says we should give Pakistan the benefit of the doubt about their insistence they had no knowledge of bin Laden's residency - because they are a key ally to the U.S. Really? Their corrupt government and sanctions of Islamic terrorism are enough reason to exclude them from 'forgive and forget' acceptance! How could they not know? He had even posted a sign on the fortress's exterior that read "Born in Hawaii, USA!"....Germany has announced a goal to end its nuclear power production by 2022, joining Italy as the only other industrialized nation to do so, and urges the U.S. to do the same. However, Germany uses the same 25% power capacity from nuclear energy that the U.S. uses for its population - but Germany has only one-fourth our population. Italy has one-fifth the population as the U.S. Much easier for them!....Chiquita Brands International is facing another lawsuit alleging funding of right-wing paramilitary groups, resulting in thousands of civilian deaths. In 2007, Chiquita paid a $25M fine for the same accusations. How do you like those bananas?
National: A recent study reports that women drinking 5+ cups of coffee daily have 57% less chance of breast cancer occurrence!....The federal government has sued Arizona over implementation of anti-immigration policies intended to enforce federal laws that put Americans in peril on many levels. Now, the same feds are prepared to raid Arizona, in order to prevent a recent voter-approved medical marijuana law from debuting, because it is allegedly against federal laws!
State: Arizona has some of the nation's weakest motorcycle safety laws. A tragic spate of recent motorcyclist deaths have often rightfully been blamed on inattentive automobile drivers, however none of the accident victims was wearing a helmet - and all of the deaths were most likely preventable. Sometimes freedom isn't free!....Gov. Jan Brewer and the state legislature has just about finalized shortening the life expectancy(and quality) of approximately 200,000 citizens, by removing them from AHCCCS, Arizona's Medicaid program, declining matching federal monies that would fund the program, while instead giving massive tax breaks to corporations which will expect the remainder of the living to buy their products!....300 physicians protested at the state capitol, during a recent national medical convention. Dr. Pieter Cohen, of Massachusetts, said, "....There is no question we need to provide for everyone," in protest of not providing free medical services for illegal-immigrants and SB1070 in general. Shouldn't the Hippocratic Oath require them to provide those services for free, then?
Local: Hail to the Chief! Mayor Elaine Scruggs and the Glendale City Council have paid $25M - and promised $25M more for next season - to the NHL, to cover operating losses from the recent Phoenix Coyotes season. This ensured that the Atlanta Thrashers would relocate to Winnipeg, where the 'Yotes came from, because Atlanta would not be so stupid as to guarantee the same!....Scruggs' theory is that there is no way to replace the local revenues if the Jobing.com Arena should lose 41 hockey dates. Let's see....with, by far, the lowest league attendance, it would take approximately only 25 typically sold-out concerts, ie., Taylor Swift, Brittany Spears, American Idol Tour, etc., to match the NHL's revenue, and the arena would be available for many more big-payday dates - and with better selection of days of the week! Oh, Canada!
Epilogue: May 21st was not the end of the world, but May 31st was the end of the month!
