A special Wednesday News Roundup
That's right! The News Roundup is back. Because I don't have enough material for an entire post.
- William F. Buckley died today, which was a shock because I thought he died in 2005. I also thought he was the same person as Christopher Hitchens for a short period. Not only did his death dominate the news cycle today, but it also produced probably the most absurd obituary column I have ever read, located here.
- Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton had their 20th debate together last night, where Hillary whined about the media's cooing over Obama and Tim Russert responded by bringing up Louis Farrakhan. Obama denounced him, Clinton said that he should also reject him, Obama said he would do both, and then I turned the channel.
- It appears that Roger Clemens is in a bit of trouble. And by trouble I mean perjury. Congress has asked the Justice Department (which apparently still exists, I had no idea) to investigate whether or not Clemens was telling the truth when he testified in front of the House of Representatives earlier this month. In response, Clemens blamed his wife, Andy Pettite, his agent, Brian McNamee, Henry Waxman, Jose Canseco, his nanny, his doctor, his lawyer, Bud Selig, Moonlight Graham, Mark McGwire, Lyle Alzado, his mother, Janis Joplin, Jane Fonda, Nook Lakoosh, Hank McNamara, Bob Stanley, Calvin Schiraldi, Joe Torre, and Mike Piazza.
