News Around the Net

This week on News Around the Net, politico has an interesting story about the most influentialD.C. Twitterers. Oh yeah, it’s a top 10 list – everyone likes lists, right?

I don’t know what I like more – Karl Rove in the number one spot, or President Obama coming in 4th. How can the President not be the most influential Twitterer in D.C.?

Moving on…

Foxnews.com’s feature story is about Obama wanting to slash the budget deficit. It features a picture of him and McCain with the headline, “Tough Sell: Can 130 people solve America’s problems in 3 hrs?” You can read the full story here. It’s actually not that bad. I really like the photos that accompany the story.

And finally…

Over at worldsoccer.com, two stories stick out in particular: The first is the lead story about the upcoming Man U. vs. Liverpool match up. It features a photo of Liverpool Manager Rafa Benitez. Nothing flashy, but a good read.

The second story that I found compelling enough to read was about David Beckham – I know, I know.. I’m such an America. Becks has pretty much stated he doesn’t want to go back to the Galaxy, and yet they seem reluctant to sell him to Milan, where he had been on loan since January. He claims to be in the dark – sad, really. Check it out here.

Realistically, Beckham is a pro. He knows the drill. Some guys are sold, and some aren’t. He’s made it clear he DOES NOT want to return to Los Angeles. He feels his best chance at making the England squad for the 2010 World Cup is by playing top cometition in Italy, vs playing against the relative nobodies in the MLS.

This should have been resolved weeks ago. It’s kind of sad, really.
