<b>WHAT A WHACKED OUT WEEK!</b> Tiger was back on the links, only 10 of my cable channels featured the "Octumom" story, and most importantly, <b>we had some snow here in the ATL… almost 1-inch</b>!
I'm a "southerner" - by the grace of God - so I've seen this kind of panic before… <b>"Quick, to the Piggly Wiggly! The blizzard's coming!"</b> But if you live up north, you must be wondering why every freaking grocery store down here was packed!? And you'd probably get a big chuckle at some of the southern "snow jam" iReports we got: <b>One-inch of snow on your car? Oh the humanity</b>! Don't get me wrong, we love your stuff and we count on it each week here on "News To Me", but <b>what about that shot of you sledding down a monster hill going 60-miles-per-hour, jumping over a massive flowing river as you wave to Yeti down below</b>? I’d love to see THAT! ;-) <b>(Eric's opinion in no way reflects how "News to Me" feels about viewers with 1-inch of snow on their cars!)</b> Well I can't wait to see what next week brings, maybe rain? I'm guessing hate mail… <b>ON THIS WEEK'S SHOW…</b> <b>Starving in Alaska?</b> As most of us wait for the stimulus package to work its magic, there are some folks - Americans - who don’t have time on their side. We'll meet up with an independent journalist who takes us <B>north to Alaska to shine a light on a desperate situation</b>. <b>What would you do if you lost everything?</b> Two iReporters are traveling across the country <b>asking that ONE QUESTION to Americans</b> from all walks of life. Some of the answers will surprise you and a few may make you say, "Umm, what?" <b>Barack – paper – scissors!</b> If you thought "roshambo" was a fun, albeit frustrating way to pick a winner, wait 'til you try the version with none other than the current President of the United States. I talk with two guys who have created <b>a brilliant way to make YouTube talk back to YOU</b>. <b>"Back in my day to go see an Inauguration..."</b> "Yes Grandpa BJ, we know, <b>you had to walk 4,200 miles to get there</b>!" Umm actually, he did. That's right, <b>iReporter BJ Hill walked from San Francisco to the Inauguration</b> and collected messages for <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/";>President Obama</a> along the way. I find out why, what America had to say… and how bad BJ’s feet hurt. <b>"Why yes, I do own the team and, yes, you are fired!"</b> Hey if you're like me, there've been plenty of times you've screamed at the TV to <b>fire the multi-million dollar crybaby that just lost your team the big game</b>... a fantasy for most. Well I talk to <b>a guy who used the Web to not only buy his own English club soccer team</b> – he’s now using it to manage the <a href="http://www.myfootballclub.co.uk/";>Fleet United Football Club</a>, along with the rest of the owners, all 30,000+ of them! <b>AND DON'T FORGET!</b> Check out our <b>"Hot Links" –- "Web Hits" –- "Recent Highlights"</b> –- and help to choose the "Most Popular" stories -- or if you simply <b>have a great video</b>, send it our way and it could end up on <a href="http://www.cnn.com/NTM";>"News to Me"</a>!
