Like Opening Your Presents on Christmas Eve

Ok, maybe some of you do open Christmas presents the night before the big day, but in my house, that’s a big no no.

And finding out what Steve Jobs will be announcing during MacWorld Expo the night before the big event is kinda like the same thing…

Apparently, someone is rumored to have posted Jobs’ MacWorld 2008 keynote outline on Wikipedia.

Is it true or is it bogus? If true, Apple will again deliver. If it’s all a bunch of crap, well then, it’s crap.

We’ll see, tomorrow starting at 9 AM PST.

Spineless Parents Horrified by Son

1/16/08 UPDATE: BUSTED!

This is unbelievable.

The parents of a teenager who hosted a raucous house party in Melbourne on Saturday night have demanded their son apologise but the 16-year-old is unrepentant, saying he’s done nothing wrong.

In fact, Corey went one step better yesterday.

“Best party ever, that’s what everyone’s saying,” was his verdict.

When asked by the Nine Network what advice he had for teenagers considering throwing a party while parents were away, he said: “Get me to do it for you.”

Steve and Jo Delaney cut short their Gold Coast holiday after a party at their house attracted up to 500 alcohol-charged youths — who damaged police cars with bottles and had to be dispersed with the help of a police helicopter.

Steve Delaney questioned if he could trust Corey any more. “Horrified. (I) just can’t believe what’s happened. Our son has gone totally behind our back,” he told Channel Seven. “So embarrassed for our neighbourhood. Just can’t believe what they must have gone through.”

He said his son pulled out of the family trip at the last minute, saying he had to work.

Ms Delaney said: “I can’t believe that Corey would do this to us to start with. Honestly, he must have planned the party.”

Uh, ya think?

When that kid came home with a tongue stud and pierced nipples that should have been a clue that there were going to be problems ahead. Really, these parents need to grow some skin and kick some reality into this kid. And by the way – who leaves a 16-year-old home alone on a weekend? Idiots.

And worse yet – there’s been no lesson learned whatsoever.

Mark my words – the next time we hear from this kid, it’ll be about how he made a kajillion dollars from his own reality TV series, a rap record, a franchise of 250 party planning service locations, and an appearance at the Super Bowl with Britney Spears.

See? It’s already starting.

What a world.

McCain Booed in Detroit

Sen. John McCain has this little immigration problem on his hands, and potential voters are letting him know.

McCain was alternately cheered and jeered by the vocal, pro-growth, “limit-the-government” activist crowd. He was cheered for his military service and for his pledges to maintain a strong defense, to cut taxes and to veto earmarks, but he was booed for his stances on immigration and the environment.

McCain, who engaged the audience in a lengthy Q&A period, drew howls of protest and boos when he expressed support for allowing most illegal aliens to stay in the United States and when he opposed against any form of protectionism.

McCain seems to enjoy starting his stump speech by stating his support for increasing border security, which always gets a nice round of applause. Yet, when he jumps to the next bullet point, something he calls a “path to citizenship”, it sounds like nothing but amnesty to every conservative in the crowd. Does McCain believe he can win without this constituency? Does he believe he can put together such a grand, record breaking GOTV program to attract independents who have never voted before in the hope that they’ll make up the conservative voter deficit?

John McCain thinks he can get elected by emphasizing border security first, yet he hasn’t renounced the bill he championed in 2007 which also included amnesty. When will McCain lose his tin ear?
