It has since seen its popularity plunge due to tough economic policies and a series of scandals which have forced the departure of three ministers Three weeks of riots after the Dec. 6 police shooting of a teenager were fuelled by public anger at high youth unemployment, privatisations, education and pension reforms and worsening economic prospects. A poll in Kathimerini newspaper on Sunday showed 74 percent of those questioned said it was correct to dismiss Alogoskoufis. It's a weird number, but who cares.You know Chad Ochocinco is making the list (even if he is awesome).I heard a story today about a famous athlete getting into trouble yet again for the fact that he got into yet another scuffle.Some athletes entertain beyond the field of play, and sometimes their act becomes old.These are their stories.. Yes, Im a Packers fan.Yes, I feel like a jilted lover.Yes, I hate this image...But seriously, how often do I have to hear about how he faced the Packers twice and housed them.Twice.I get it!Hes the best quarterback of all time, Ive never denied that.But come on, please stop talking about him every 20 minutes.Its really not his fault that Im tired of hearing about him.He continues his run towards The Hall, and continues to cause nightmares for defensive coordinators that stand in his way.He's playing at an extremely high level and helping win games for a team that needed him more than anything else.But my thought stands, and at No 7 stands No 4.. 
It's news when he goes to the bathroom.It's news when he takes a shower.And it's certainly not news when he hits a home run to help his team win the game.Something seem wrong hereHe's a baseball player.He cares about this team that he's playing with because they've opened their wallet and they let him do whatever he wants.So please, don't broadcast that he went to the locker room after being pulled.Most other players do it.When you get pulled, you go shower.The end.That's not news, that's infuriating.. We get it.You're a free agent at the end of this season.At least King James has taken a stance and said that he's no longer talking about the 2010 free agency class he will be heading up.Again, not his fault, but then again, if he weren't so good, ESPN wouldn't talk about him going to the Knicks every 32 seconds.So maybe only average 11 points and two rebounds a game LeBron.LeBronAlso, you can get me tickets to see the playoffs, right LeBron(Please see funny commercial with puppets for multiple name shout outs.). I love that he's a bald man.I love that he did drugs, recovered and became awesome at tennis.I love that he was famous 15 years ago and remains as the lead of SportsCenter.Here's the thing:I want to read his book and hopefully take control of my life as he did, but nobody is talking about that.People are talking about how he did meth and lied.People are saying he needs to give back his titles and money.People are talking about how he just wants to sell books.Who caresHe has done so much for his fellow man with his charities and his time, but I'm sorry Andre, I don't care how you're life is going anymore.I'd rather hear about how Brett Favre conquered the evil empire in Green Bay You know, because it's current.. I actually really, I mean really, like Chad Ochocinco.He's hilarious, he's smart, he's witty, and he even did a Lambeau Leap. He was awesome in "The Hangover" and in the 1990's, but seriously, it's 2009 and if there was a dictionary entrance for "has-been" or "also-ran" his tattooed face would be all over it.Mike Tyson allegedly hit a member of the paparazzi, begging the question: Does anybody still give an ounce of care to anything this man does anymore I'm tired of it.If there is anyone out there who doesn't deserve press, it's this joker.Nobody cares if you hit someone anymore. No one has cared since Lennox Lewis knocked out Kid Dynamite.Kid Dynamite is certainly a fitting nickname, because this clown has self-destructed.(Disclaimer: If Mike Tyson were in front of me right now I would pretend to love him.I covet my ears.).

SINGAPORE, Jan 11 (Reuters) - A Singaporean member of parliament was attacked and set on fire on Sunday by a 70-year-old man who was angry at not being given a Chinese New Year gift, the country's state broadcaster said. Seng Han Thong was taken to hospital with between 10 and 15 percent burns after the assault during a ceremony to present Chinese New Year gifts at a community club, Channel NewsAsia reported on its website. The chairman of a nearby Chinese temple Aw Swee Seng, who organised the event, also suffered burns in the rare attack in the Southeast Asian city-state known for its safety.
