New York Times - Dec. 2, 2009

It's a little worrysome when discussing national security to read a story in the New York Times about a couple who actually CRASHED a dinner party at the White House, of all places. How is this nation supposed to feel safe when the Secret Service outside one of the most heavily-guarded houses in the entire world falters and lets in two suspicious dinner guests, who clearly weren't even on the invitation. I don't know what they must have slipped the security guard standing outside of the White House gates, but whatever it was, it made him overlook the fact that they didn't have an invitation to one of the most prominent dinner get-togethers in all of America. The Salahi's (the couple who "crashed" this dinner party) claims they were invited, despite the fact that several sources confirm that they were specifically told NOT to show up, because they didn't have room to fit them in. It's one thing that two people who just wanted some attention and their 15 minutes of fame, but what if someone with a bomb strapped to their chest walked right past national security and blew the entire Obama administration up? It's a horrible thought, but after this can we rule it out? I don't think so.

On another note, I found it somewhat comical that Comcast, who doesn't even have complete control yet after purchasing NBC Universal, already has plans to make Versus a serious competitor with ESPN for sports cable. Let me start by saying that will never happen, and if it does than we can all just give up on the world of sports, because if there's no hope for ESPN, which is essentially sports, then the world of athletics is in for a complete and unnecessary change. No one who follows sports wants any other station to compete with ESPN, because everyone who likes sports LOVES ESPN. Comcast doesn't have the resources to post a competitor, especially Versus, which barely covers any national or professional sports as of right now. If ESPN were around forever, every sports fan would be happy.
