April's Sprezz of the Month

It came… and it went. That’s right, another month in the books means its time to recap April's Sprezz/Spazzes (think heroes/villains).

April was pretty eventful. On the Sprezz side, we have to acknowledge the U.S. Navy snipers for taking care of the Somali pirates in a “Thanks For Being So Clutch!” fashion. They really took care of business and defused the situation. Captain Richard Phillips was also extremely Sprezz in selflessly offering himself as a hostage in an attempt to save his crew.

(Did you know? A 16 year old pirate who surrendered could provide the first American piracy trial in 2 centuries! Could make for an interesting pay-per-view…)

On the other hand, we have the 8 high school Spazzes from Queens who brought back some unforgettable memories from their Spring Break in Mexico… Along with, oh yea, Swine Flu!

(Did you know? Pilar D’Agnese (Editor) is also a product of Queen’s St. Francis Prep high school. Though as far as I'm aware, she would never facilitate the spreading one of the most threatening and contagious viruses known to man. Then again, how well do you really know people?)

Anyway, just thinking about what can happen with this whole epidemic freaks me out so let’s move along to another Spazz of the month. Do you know who also deserves to be recognized? Whoever's responsible for one of Obama’s Boeing 747s buzzing through the Manhattan skyline without tipping off the public!

You don’t think that a heads up may would've been considerate? Really?

This “approved activity” (apparently a photo op) was intended to be kept quiet and caused a mad panic. Terrorized people actually evacuated buildings and fled for their lives!

We already have enough crap to deal with between the effects of the recession, pirate ambushes and freakin’ pigs taking us out left and right…

The government should have been more responsible. More selfless. More like the Navy or Richard Phillips. More Sprezzatura.

That’s April ’09, enjoy the weekend…
