Date Your Article

They say that whatever goes on the internet stays on the internet. That is too true and aside from the emabrrassing pictures or whatever is the lack of timely information. One of my pet peeves is trying to research somthing and finding undated articles. It then becomes impossible to decide whether the information is timely. I wish this issues received from attention.

Olympians

The IOC seems to be having trouble reconciling the behavior or the most recent generation of athletes with their perception of the appropriate. First it was a snowboarder (what did they expect?). Now the Canadian Hockey team is smoking and drinking. True, 19 may be the legal age and some are 18 years old, but are we surprised that 18 year old's are drinking? Of course not, it is just that the media was around to make it scandalous.

In my mind it isn't only an issue of what is appropriate behavior but perhaps a reflection on changing attitudes toward societies idea of correct. No question that our older generation would have shocked and even caused Victorian England to experience the vapors. Maybe it is our turn to have the "vapors." I feel faint - but maybe from laughter.

CNN Headline

December 18th, 2009 CNN Headline: "‘There is no time to waste’ on climate change accord, President Obama tells U.N. Climate Change Conference."

I guess you could take this more then one way.

Tiger Woods Apology

I haven't heard Tiger's apology yet, just read CNN's text under their headline about his apology. They Say "Tiger Woods' comments today may become the most scrutinized apology in history: Was it a PR stunt? Can he do anything to restore people's faith in him? Experts dissect his apology and offer reaction."

I'd rather do with out the expert analysis. Just let me make my own decision. Seems like we now have to have a bunch of talking heads providing slanted perspective on some event. Slanted because they have agenda - always. So please shut up and let me decide for myself.
