Why hasn't Eric Borden sailed around the world yet? Why didn't Mississippi St pay Cam Newton instead of bitching that he wanted money?  Why don't the Patriots play the 49ers so that my bro Mark could go see them in Foxboro?  Why do good people slowly die of cancer while good for nothing, scum bags like my uncle seem to live forever?  Why hasn't Clark Kent become Superman on Smallville yet?!?  When is John Cena going to turn heel?  Why doesn't anyone care that Sylvester Stallone has been taking steroids for three decades and breaking box office records?  Why were Christmas decorations up at the mall before Halloween?  Why haven't they announced who the AL and NL MVPs are yet?  Why haven't my friends Mike and Michelle moved back to the South Shore yet?  Why hasn't Floyd Mayweather Jr. been in the news complaining about the PED problem in boxing lately?  Why did Puffy cut a youtube video about McDonalds?  Why is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows two separate movies?  Why isn't Rick Lavoie the Superintendent of Saugus Public Schools yet?   Better yet..  Why isn't he the Mayor of Saugus yet?  Why does the Parent Council care what the stars of Glee are doing when they obviously couldn't care less what their kids are doing?  Why haven't you tried Smokin' Hoggz BBQ yet?  Why doesn't Shawn Holter have Chevalier?
