I'm miffed about Tom Brady's case going to federal court. My first reaction is you got caught. Take your medicine. In all of the great legal battles we see all over cable news, nobody just says "you got me and I'm sorry." The new law of the land is It's legal if I get away with it.
But secondly I got to wondering how this case got heard so fast in federal court when other federal offices are back logged. My Google search landed me on a Washington Post article from 2014. At the time of the article, Social Security was 990,399 cases behind, Veterans Affairs had 526,000 people waiting in line, and the patent office, where 606,000 applications of potentially helpful inventions were pending. But wait. Stop everything. A rich, white, boy cheated at football. People on death row wait years for an appeal. But Deflate Gate must be heard before the season starts!
While this is going on there is a new movie opening about the rise of Compton rappers Eazy-E (Eric Wright), M.C. Ren (Lorenzo Patterson), Ice Cube (Osea Jackson), Dr. Dre (Andre Young), and Yella (Antoine Carraby). Collectively the group is called NWA. Which stands for Niggaz Wit Attitudes. I know I can't say that. But can I write it? Oh I'm not Donald Sterling. So I guess I can.
CNN reports that security at the screenings will have extra police presence. Extra police? I didn't know there was any police presence needed at a movie theater. But apparently the worry is if rival gangs go to the movies at the same time. What? Instead of celebrating the success, the American Dream realization, the coming from nothing to stardom of these celebrities there may be shootings?
Where are our priorities people? What is happening? Good luck veterans and seniors. If the Kardashians ever come out with a movie you are screwed!
