Week In Review - May 12, 2012

If you have been living in a cave this week, you might have missed President Obama’s coming out interview. There was more than ample media coverage of the event, although nothing in the news about the President’s support of same-sex marriage entertained as much as the celebrity Tweets I fabricated about it. Who knew Kim Kardashian and Jesus would ever Tweet about the same topic?

The President hopes to fare better for honestly stating his position, than Phillies’ pitcher Cole Hamels did when he told the truth about intentionally targeting a rookie with a 93-mph fastball.

Death loomed large in this week’s news. We commemorated the passing of Maurice Sendak by sharing five defining facts about the author’s life, and we were surprised by the tragic details we learned about how artist Thomas Kinkade died. On the thirty-first anniversary of Bob Marley’s death, we celebrated his life with a classic Marley tune performed Sesame Street-style.

Lastly, we enjoyed seeing pictures of our most prominent writers in some rather unusual settings.

As always, thanks for reading.
