make the news? quote: George Obama was arrested in Nairobi with one joint of marijuana, police chief Joshua Omokulongolo said. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/7862691.stm

Because people read it, link to it, and talk about it and ratings go up because it seems its something people actually pay attention to and talk about and give interest to and well hell, indicate its somehow important. What you have done here is why it makes the news lol. They don't have news of things people don't show interest in -- good or bad interest doesn't matter -- its interest on some level and that creates ratings and profit. angel

They took me from my home," George Obama told reporters in Nairobi from his jail cell. " I don't know why they are charging me. A certain suspicious part of me has to wonder if somebody in Nairobi thinks they are going to try to get some leverage with President Obama. I don't think that would work very well.

Obviously this is ex-President Bush's fault.

quote: ORIGINAL: TreasureKY quote: ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth Obviously this is ex-President Bush's fault. lol... Isn't everything? [;)] Yes. That is why just reading the the words EX-president Bush...priceless. Who knows why garbage news like the link makes news? Because Americans watch shows like "The Bachelor" and "Wife Swap", do not read and have not heard of NPR or CSpan? Most are apathetic and think Bill O'Reilly is a journalist? Who knows. Sad state of affairs either way. When Intellect is disparaged, and Joe the Plumber with Sarah Palin are revered, and this shit makes news, no wonder America falls a little further every day. President Obama has a huge burden, and a huge mess of Bush's to deal with. I wish him well.

To quote Jack Nicholson from "A Few Good Men"... boy, don't I feel like the asshole. No need to feel that way. Once his ticket to attention (President Carter) left office, he no longer warranted the media's scrutiny. The same will happen to President Obama's relations.

Never judge a man by his relatives.

Vendaval -> RE: Honestly how does this shit........ (1/31/2009 2:37:33 PM)
Can we pass the less reputable ones around, like say, trading cards? "I'll trade one convict for a lobbyist?" Wait, that implies a difference...er...hm....[sm=dunno.gif] quote: ORIGINAL: sirsholly quote: ORIGINAL: pahunkboy he does seem to have alot of odd relatives. most of us can lay a claim to this...at every family reunion
