Current issues and humor

This picture made me laugh and I forgot how I came across it. After watching the random blooper video clips of President George W. Bush, I thought this image would fit in nicely. He definitely has a sense of humor.

Our past video conferences for the class have been interesting. It's always fun to see how people present themselves as well as their opinions.

Random Entertainment News:

• Sheryl Crow urges the use of one square
• Rosie will leave her view at "The View" behind
• The Tribeca Film Festival begins
• Snoop Dogg denied access to Australia
  

Also, last night I watched the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Bill Maher was one of the guests. He discussed different issues today like the media's fascination with providing details about top stories. In the incident with the Virginia Tech shooting, Maher said that journalists feed off breaking news and are always competing with each other.




















He also discussed gun laws and admitted that he owns a firearm himself. I felt it was interesting to hear both sides of how it's in our U.S. Constitution, however, it is a harmful weapon. The purpose of a gun is to either damage something, inflict injury or death, despite the use. This could vary between whether you are animal hunting or practicing your aim with clay pigeons. It's still a tough situation but Maher continued points about other bigger, more important issues going on in the world.

I could only find a short sample of the conversation of Leno and Maher and it doesn't cover all the points he made during the interview. Still, it shows how quickly videos can be posted within a matter of hours since the event.
