10. Did Lance Armstrong do steroids.
My friends have been saying yes for years. Discovery channel did a documentary on him and why he is such a superior athlete. I'd like to think it's possible for one person to find the will to beat cancer and beat the best cyclists in the world 7 years in a row. even while they ALL did steroids. But something tells me he was prescribed something and it never went detected. the even more cynical me thinks maybe they all knew. I haven't watched the Tour deFrance since.
9. The Feudalization of the American economy.
The top 1% of wealth holders own 41% of all the assets in the country while the bottom 40% own absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, workers are saddled with $12 trillion of national debt, an effective indentured servitude that will bind them to their corporate masters for the rest of their lives. This is the working definition of feudalism, where the rich own everything and everybody else has nothing but their labor and their obligations to their masters.
8. The mysterious disappearance of Clearly Canadian.
When I was younger I loved this new drink. it was clear. it was carbonated and it was flavorful. people seemed to like it. why can't I find it anymore?
7. The lack of a college football playoff.
Even the President agrees. The not so mysterious but very ambiguous formula for ranking teams is a joke and in trouble of collapsing every year, but in the end the BIG schools always win, and they always collect the money. March Madness is so much more fun.
6. Bush knew of 9/11 long before it actually happened.
Three years before Bush took office, the neo-cons' Project For a New American Century called for a "new Pearl Harbor" to galvanize the nation into a war to seize Middle East oil. And even before the event itself, Bush-as-president was warned dozens of times of the imminent attack, the most notorious being the August 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing titled, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S". Amazingly nothing was done to prevent the attack. But even less is it advertised that Bush knew.
5. Why was Arrested Development canceled? And don't tell me it wasn't funny. That show was hilarious. it's STILL hilarious. the DVD's are still selling of the 3 seasons it was on. it's a conspiracy of the highest order. A Fox executive needs to blow the whistle on this one now.
4. What did BP really know about the Gulf Oil Spill.
The biggest story of 2010 and now they can't even find the oil? WTF. Was it as big a deal as CNN made it out to be? Was it worse. Did BP know and not care that a blowout was possible. I want to see those internal memos from the CEOs desk.
3. What really happened to Conan and the Tonight Show.
Did Jay Leno really set Conan up to fail in some evil premeditated retire/unretire plot to banish him from nighttime television? Was it just about the ratings? It seems pretty messed up and Conan sure isn't in any hurry to accept or forgive Leno for any of it. either way. I'm with Coco.
2. Iraq was all premised on lies, yet we're still there.
Saddam Hussein wasn't pursuing Weapons of Mass Destruction. He wasn't involved in 9/11. He wasn't engaged with Al Qaeda. As with the 2000 election hijacking, we know all these things. And we know they were false at the time they were proffered. Yet, there we are, with no intent to leave, our very presence spitting in the face of International Law and the international community we pretend to respect.
1. What the hell was Inception about.
Where they in a dream or not?
