Say This About the US of A...We Like Variety (And Lots of It)
On this Fourth of July weekend, you gotta love a country that can be so, well, darned unpredictably fully of unending variety. Among the key people popping up on this week's BlogPulse are Michael Moore and Harry Potter (both of whom have surpassed previous leaders President Bush and John Kerry), Britney Spears, Bill Gates, Howard Stern, Avil Lavigne, soldier Wassef Ali Hassoun, and Doc Ock, the bad guy in Spider-Man 2 (which became the second movie in a week to set a box-office opening record).
Which begs a follow-up question: Who is Deforest B. Soaries and what is he (atop the Bursty People list) advocating? The head of a world power's elections system....recommending the suspension of elections? Oh wait...that's the head of the U.S. Federal Elections Commission, raising the spectre of suspending elections in the US of A in case of another terrorist attack. Isn't this country supposed to support free election with open arms? Aren't free elections our specialty? Isn't that the concept we want to take hold elsewhere around the world?
If you were asked to spy on your fellow citizens for the good of your country, would you? That's why trucker Eddie Dean is getting some ink in the blog world today. In a creepy, spine-tingling sort of way, don't you think?
TREND GRAPH OF THE DAY: Make it a movie-heavy weekend. Here's a look at major competition for Spider-Man 2 and a look at the growing numbers of big-screen documentaries.
