Presenting: "The Week in Review"
Sit back, relax, grab some rice cakes and an Aquafina and get ready to read all the stuff that didn't make the cut earlier this week or didn't happen yet! Does this mean no peanuts on the flight? Or, "How much is a one way ticket from Midway Airport to 55th and Central?" So, Southwest Airlines which is famous for making quick pick-ups and drop-offs along the way to your final destination, added a stop without telling anyone. Now the pilot is being questioned by the FAA to see if he followed protocol. Geez, how many people are involved in this mess? I'll tell you the cause of this accident for free! Umm, it possibly has something to do with the 10.5" of snow! ..."Kanye just go away?" I love the way singer Kanye West is always mentioned as being "Chicago's very own" as if all of Chicagoland is embracing this character. Not me. I'm not exactly a fan of P. Diddy, but there's only room enough for one of him on the planet. Kanye put "foot in mouth" earlier this week before the nominees for the Grammy's were announced. Just like Eminem who once dissed all the award shows, Kanye got up on his pulpit and lambasted the Academy and also played the race card again saying if he's not nominated, it's because he's black. You're right Kanye, when was the last time a black performer won a Grammy? That show has a sign outside the theater that shoo's blacks away and bans them from coming in. Other than the usual Britney, Christina, and Madonna winning awards, where did all the white people go? I say all the whites that are overlooked in favor of hip-hop and R&B should charter a dozen busses and show up on the doorstep of BET and complain that BET overlooks them! The good news is that Kanye's little outbust may have cost him winning any of the 8 Grammy nominations this year! That explains the "Great, Grape Ape!" The Cartoon Network got a visit from the D.E.A. this week and had to answer some serious allegations regarding their online gift store. It turns out that it was just a big misunderstanding that just so happened to include, drugs. Someone was slick enough to borrow the CN logo and address to send parcels of dope to kids in New York. The post office got involved when one of the little boxes about the size of a video tape, became slightly unwrapped with marijuana sprinkling the countertop. Yes, it was a front for what turned out to be a big drug ring. No connection at all to Cartoon Network, but after watching some of the cartoons on "Adult Swim", it makes me wonder. ...If it sounds too good to be true unfortunately, it probably is true. Here's something to discuss at the water cooler before quitting time today. Two new shows are in the works and may be coming to a channel near you (and when I said that I wish reality TV would leave forever, I just changed my mind). "Meet the Rokers" featuring post-gastreobypass survivor, Al Roker. If that sitcom doesn't grab your attention, how about "Al in the Family" with Reverend Al Sharpton? The end of the world must be closer than I thought! THAT'S the way I see things this week!
