Survey on Events

Here are some questions for you to ponder on recent events. Mull them around in your head and feel free to respond with your thoughts (there's a little something for everyone including Politics, Sports, and the Weather) :
1) Is the press making too big of a deal of Dick Cheney shooting his lawyer friend? Is this really something to make a political issue out of?
2) Is the US' Olympic Team failing to live up to the expectations the US has set for it? (i.e. have there been a lot of disappointments this year, so far?
3) When will the looting and riots stop as a result of the Muhammed cartoon?
4) Will the general warming trend continue for the country this Winter, or will it turn cold and stay cold for awhile to come?
5) Will you go see the new "DaVincci Code" movie that is coming out?
6) Did Tom and Katie really break-up?
