Alt Tabs of the Week

Wisconsin protest or audition line for Biggest Loser?

Wisconer's Get Down Right Egyptian on their State Senate - Someone was reading the Alt-Tab last week when I wished American politics involved a few more riots and rallies. Of course being that this took place in Wisconsin the crowd was easily dispersed with offerings of cheese and sausages, but still, it was a start.

Cape Cod News Reporter Busted for Drug Delivery At Work - Can't really blame the guy, obviously just trying to drum up some news on his own to boost his readership. Times are tough for newspapers, they'll take the publicity any way they can get it.

Brooklyn Crowd Taunts Murder Rampage Suspect - Maybe it's just my natural Fight-or-Flight response, but I don't think I'd be taunting a guy who just killed like 18 people in one 24 hour span. Whats the plan if he gets released on a technicality? He's killing all you mofo's.

Fox Claims Billy-Ray Cyrus is the Worst Stage Parent - Don't get too used to that crown Billy-Ray, Will Smith is coming on strong, just give it a year or two. Pushing two kids into the spotlight and a Scientologist to boot. Dude's a lock for the Bad Parent Hall of Fame. I have no idea where the Fresh Prince went wrong.

Highschool Basketball Coach Uses "N" Word for Motivation - And he was promptly fired. I hope this team goes on to win the state championship after his firing. It's been a while since Disney put out a heartfelt sports movie taking advantage of racial tensions to cash in big.  Something tells me Will Smith already has Denzel on the phone asking if he'll play the role of coach for Will's son.

Kansas Highschool Newspaper Claims Moral Reasons for Executing Gays - I don't see what the big deal is.  I mean it's wrong, and clearly hatespeech, I'm not arguing that. It's just, who reads a highschool news paper? In my day only the dorks that published it even gave it a second though. In fact I'd be shocked if more than 10 copies were even printed, just enough for the entire staff to each have one.  Shit, even in this school the faculty advisor clearly didn't read the paper.  You can't preach the virtues of proof reading and then tell me he just happened to miss an entire article of anti-gay propganda during his scan. Guy obviously doesn't give a shit, and I'm willing to bet none of the students would have either, if some outsider hadn't made a huge deal and put it on the internet.
