Don't care/Do care

DON'T CARE: So Bobby Jindal fudged the central story in his GOP response speech last week (even though it was some of the numbers in the Obama budget that truly seemed unbelievable). Politicians=Folks who fudge, lie, stretch the truth, embellish, etc., and Jindal=Politician, so where's the surprise factor here?
DO CARE: Still can't believe Jindal used the government's response to Katrina as his centerpiece argument that government can't do anything right. Hey, Louisiana governor dude, it was your guy Bush that made it all possible by picking some horse guy to run FEMA. And it wasn't even some horse guy we had heard of, like D. Wayne Lucas or Jerry Bailey or the guy who hung with Mr. Ed (that's right -- he's hung with a horse). There's not a lot of agreement between the red types and the blue types, but doesn't everybody agree that the government should take the lead in emergency response? Geez, even the Libertarians are down with that.

DON'T CARE: So Georgia might be considering hiring Bob Knight to be its basketball coach. Listen, it wasn't that long ago that Georgia had Jim Harrick at the wheel, and let's just say that it doesn't appear all laws of God, man and the NCAA were followed during his tenure. Bob Knight might piss off everyone within the sound of his voice and turn all the press conferences into YouTube-ready cringe-fests, but the guy runs a clean program. You can't fault Georgia for making sure it stays on the right side of the law. Plus, crusty old white coach with a weird racial controversy in his past (remember the whip?) and young, successful black athletic director is a sitcom in the making, or maybe another ESPN/Knight reality series.
DO CARE: Anybody noticed what Bobby Jr. is doing back at Texas Tech? It's not pretty, unless you're a big fan of coach suspensions and losing. As one friend of the Staff asked the other day, has one of these name-my-son-coach-when-I-leave-or-else deals ever turned out well?

DON'T CARE: So a super-cheap Irish aerline wants to put pay toilets on planes. Don't like it? Don't fly 'em. It's probably just a publicity stunt anyway, and it's worked very well.
DO CARE: If the idea spreads from Irish airlines to Irish pubs, we'll be marching in the streets, and probably relieving ourselves there too.
