Tyler's Week In Review - 2nd Edition!

Hello and welcome to the SECOND ever edition of, Tyler's Week In Review! Lets get this thing started. (I'm starting a new thing this week called "Video Of The Week" Video of the week will be a video I've seen on youtube or where ever that I though was funny or interesting.)

Entertainment-

Michael Jackson is dead. What? That is the only thing in the entertainment news this week! It's not my fault they are obsessing over him when a few weeks ago before he died they were calling him a freak and a child molester. I mean the only other thing in the entertainment news I saw that one of the Jonas brothers is getting marred and Tom Cruise turned 47.

Oh, I forgot, there is one thing that happened in the entertainment genre. Americas got talent was on again. But people on youtube are to lazy to upload the episode videos so I got the 2 I could that were from the 3rd episode. No one put up any episodes of the 4th episode so I had to go all the way to the "Americas Got Talent" website on NBC's website. It was torture! Anyway, here are the videos

Episode 3 -

This guy is going to make it big in the country music industry!
Another really good magician.

Episode 4-

This guy can breakdance!
These girls are groovin!


Sports-

Another big trade in the world of NBA. Ron Artest is getting traded to the Lakers (like they really need more talent). But its not the trade that is the big news, it is the history between Artest and Kobe Bryant. I mean, this happened when they were playing in the playoffs. But hey, maybe they'll be so dysfunctional that somebody else in the NBA can win a championship for once.

And since I don't have a lot to talk about on these next subjects, I'll just bunch them all in one paragraph. Roger Federer beat Andy Roddick at Wimbledon to win his 15th major. And thats a record appareantly. The Williams sisters were in the championship round in doubles and singles, they won the doubles and Serena beat Venus for the singles championship. Serena and Venus, were they born in Greece or something?

Joey Chestnut won the 2009 Nathans hot dog eating contest (which was recently crowned the best hot dog) by eating 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes! Now thats a lot ( captian obvious strikes again!) especially considering a few years ago, the winning hot dog eater only ate 25 in 10 minutes (only?). He won't have weak bones.

Albert Pujols hit his St Louis Cardinal's record 4th grand slam of the season. Now if that doesn't spell MVP then I don't know what does. The Cardinals were down 3-0 in the bottom of the 8th inning when Pujols came up to the plate with the bases loaded. Then the bat cracked the ball and Pujols did what he does best and knocked it out of the park. They ended up winning the game 7-4. With the bases loaded, Albert is hitting .750, has 4 grand slams, 20 RBI, 6 hits, and 10 runs. Those are Hall Of Fame stats.

Politics-

Sarah Palin is stepping down from being governor of Alaska. She does know that Mark Sanford was suppose to be stepping down and not her right? Anyway, she didn't say why she was stepping down but many people suggest that she is going to focus on training for the 2012 olympics to play on the hockey team. Kidding, they say that she is going to focus on the 2012 presidential race. All the democrats will say "boo!" all the republicans will say "yay!" and all the people who don't care will say "Turn the channel back to the game!". Honestly I could care less because we all know she isn't going to win.

North Korea are pulling shananigans again! South Korea has reported that North Korea fired 4 short range missiles off its east coast. East Korea had nothing to say and West Korea was to busy partying with china to comment. They better watch out though because do they honestly think they can take down the US and its Allies? I mean China is kind of North Korea's ally but North Korea has been so annoying that China is getting mad at them. North Korea - 1 missile that may be able to reach alaska if it doesn't fall apart right after lift off. United States - around 9,600 nuclear weapons. Seriously North Korea, give your leader some milk and cookies and give him a nap because he is too insane for his own good.

Random Story Of The Week-

The crown of the Statue of Liberty is now open again. It re-opened July 4th. Only 30 people are allowed at a time each hour and they are guided by a park ranger. But I think this is a great way to celebrate America's birthday. You can read the article here.
