2006 Top News Story
We are at the time of the year where we look at the top news stories of the year.
The Democrats won the 2006 elections.
Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to death by hanging.
We have an ongoing war in Iraq.
Besides the breakup of Britney Spears and K-Fed, what do you think was the most important news story of the year?

kelly rippa and clay aiken
oh and let’s not forget rosie and the donald
I’m extreemly good looking
argh.
yes, that is the entirety of my comment.
amish shooting? was that this year? god 2006 is already hazy.
hmmm too many to name my love
maybe corey lidle crashing his plane on my side of town..talk about hitting close to home
Crocodile Hunter dying just like I had predicted! Boo ya! Although I swore it would be a snake or aligator that would do it…but I get partial credit.
The Dems.
James Brown, you fucktwists!
Haha. There are really too many to choose just one… But I think the Break-up of Pamela Anderson and Kidrock was just devastating. Really. Isn’t it sad that things like this even make the news? I’d say the on-going War in Iraq. A new year, and our boys are still dying.
The war in Iraq…
I don’t know.
I’d say the Democrats winning the election. That will affect our country greatly in the years to come as well.
The Democrats winning. Hoorah! At least, half-heartedly. My Political Party doesn’t exist. I like to play it like George Washington, with his famous quote “Don’t form political parties!”
Also, the hanging sentence. Nobody deserves death, not even a dealer of it
I think, for Americans, the biggest news story was the ongoing war in Iraq.
the democrat majority, because now in 2007 we might get things done!!
I’m happy Rummy is gone…
The assault on the Amish school was the biggest nexw item but for pop culture Floyd Landis and the TDF.
I think that the fact that Donald Trump is the self appointed moral compass of our nation coupled with liberals taking over the White House is the saddest news of the year.
Duke rape case.
Seriously, anyone who lies and says they were gang raped should actually be gang raped so they know what the fuck they were claiming. Stupid Bitch.
democrats winning and…the war in iraq
Steve Irwin’s death
A 3,000 year old writing tablet in Mexico. Wow, we really are smart!
The Ted Haggard scandal I believe ranks up there, as it definitely impacted Christianity and how Christians are viewed.
Steve Irwin dying…bloody hard yakka, that.
Legendary singer James Brown dies
Stevie I’s death
I Loved him
Personally, we’ve lost a LOT of really good people this year…
how the miami heat WRONGFULLY won the championship. boo. the dallas mavericks sooo shoulda won. urghhhh
and.
the split of reese witherspoon and ryan filpee (sp?) *sigh* i wish they hadn’t broken up. i was rooting for them
1. Britney’s Vagina making its debut
2. Paris and Nicole Richie reunite
3. Lindsay Lohan goes to AA and continues to booze it up
4. Bush says deciderer
5. Nicole Richie gets arrested for drugs.
6. bin Laden’s crush on Whitney Houston
7. Beyonce Knowles thinks she needs to gain weight
8. Tara Reid’s Botched plastic surgeries
9. Eddie Murphie tells Scary Spice he ain’t her baby daddy
10. Fat Elvis is reincarnated as Brandon Davis
I am sure other stuffed happened but it is hardly more important than poor starving Beyonce.
I think Saddam being sentenced. I don’t think people understand what will happen once he is executed. I can see major fights on both sides breaking out. We will take all the backlash from it. I know our military will have to be prepared. Yes, I want to see it end, but I want our men and women to be safe too.
“QUIRKY BLOGGER BEATS YOU TUBE”
The plane crash in New York City, its horrible how easy it is to destroy NYC like that.
that suri cruise is real
Democrats. Duh.
My local radio station always starts their afternoon show by telling us the headline in the local newspaper (which is always something random like, “They lit the city Christmas tree today”, or “a new study says energy drinks are bad for you”), and they, “Well, that’s interesting, and important, but I think we should also know that _____ people have died in Iraq. That’s ____ many people since yesterday.”
It turns out that we’re in a war. Who knew?
Britney’s disgusting panty-less pics.
ST LOUIS CARDINALS WINNING THE WORLD SERIES
Dewd, it was when the pink plastic flamingo making company went out of business. This indicates a major shift in our cultural heritage as a people and could like have untold consequences for society and stuff.
TomKat, of course!
UCLA beating USC
ryc: too much to explain.
Wow.
Such angry comments are like looking in a mirror.
Ouch.
The biggest news story of the year is that the sun set last night, and it rose again this morning. That news in and of itself was earth shattering and profound.
Death and life.
New at 11.
The thing that hit me the hardest was Steve Irwin’s death.
But… seriously… I’m a kid who doesn’t watch the news and really doesn’t give a crap as long as it stays far away from me.
End of story. Have a wonderful night.
i followed the news. one story i actuall followed was about james kim. the dad who died trying to rescue his family
haha why is that last piece of news important??
love your sarcasm! =DDDD
The fact that this year was AWFUL!
the war…and the steve Erwin
steve irwin dying. rosie and the donald are crap and so is american idol get over it people
Oh my gosh… It’s been so much bullshit, crap, and stupidity in this year that I prefer forgetting the whole issues for it…The humanity has lost it sense…
That Kinky Friedman lost the race for governor in Texas. That was just too darn sad.
Saddam Hussein.
the biggest news, huh?
i think donald rumsfeld being replaced was big.
The marriage and breakup of Kid Rock and Pam Anderson.
DUH!
probably the demo’s winning. seriously, that bodes alot of changes for the u.s.
it’s purty big.
the many school shootings
My top three:
1. US deaths in Iraq exceed 9-11 count
2. N. Korea freaks out!
3. US Spends 350 Billion on killing people in Iraq
I have two…sorry. War in Iraq and the Amish shootings.
I don’t konw.. hey dan, I just realized you were blocked to comment on my site. i doubt you’ve ever tried to comment on my site.. but just incase, you did… i didn’t know you were blocked.. i guess i clicked on block link, when you’ve commented on mysite that one time. =)
well feel free to comment away~! please? haha
j
I think the top story is that Becky Needs A Hawt Fireman………….
Rumsy’s gone at last, and we had some pretty lousy blokes appointed to political office.
That’s about all I can remember. 2006 was at least five years long.
Yes, Dan, I’m bringing ChristmasBack.
And I’d also like to point out this year’s “lack of headline” for Darfur and the recent tsunami.
Steve!
Steve!
Ummmmmmmmmmmmm… like what happend to your header???
Ummmmmmmmmmmmm… like what happend to your header???
Saddam’s hanging is a biggie!
ex-President Gerald Ford’s Death.
You mean for Americans or the whole world? War in Iraq is the most important U.S. story… as for worldwide, I’d say it’s a tie between Iran and N. Korea acquiring nukes, and global warming. Both of them are going to have serious consequences on our future.
And as far as celebs go… R.I.P. Steve Irwin!
Not quite the top story, but Gerald Ford just died.
Anything involving fat people. Because fat people are both disgusting and funny.
well, just so we all know. the situation in Iraq is no longer a war. i mean, yes it is a WAR. but the war was officially declared over and won by our government, and therefore makes it not a war. what it is now is an occupation of Iraq. okay, i feel better now that i have said that.
i think James Brown’s death is the most important.
The invention of gecko boots, by far.
Mel Gibson’s statements
lol, that last sentence was sarcastic, right?
Steve Irwins death, and now the President dying.
well- for me at least those are intresting.
I agree about the dad who died in the blizzard in oregon trying to save his family. They didn’t find his body until a few days later. The only way the wife kept the children alive was through breast feeding her newborn and her older child. Fuckin sad man.
Ace Young may not have become the nations American Idol, but he is one of the top 100 sexiest men of the year- I think he is #1!!!
OHHHH…News story!!! Sorry!!! I was thinking “human interest.”
Hilary Duff and Joel Madden breaking up, and then Joel getting with Nicole Richie. So very sad…..
-KrIsTiN-
the crocodile hunter?
Yao Ming breaking his leg, devestating the Rockets hopes for the playoffs. He was having an MVP start of the season and was the leading vote getter for the upcoming NBA all-star game. What a shame!
I agree with cotaroba : “I’m happy Rummy is gone…”
The Dems & Steve Irwin
Iraq has been going on for awhile. There’s nothing “news” about it.
The Theologians Cafe rated #1 blog site for 2006
the death of Steve Irwin
The ANTM writers on strike…..
Just kidding. I love the show, I’m just confused as to why they have writers, it’s a reality show. Shows how UNREAL reality tv is.
I’d say Cheney shooting that guy.
That’s tough. Michael Jackson coming back?
Ahahaha, genius. Reminds me of Broadcast News when a video of dominoes is chosen to be played on the news over something politics-related.
300 millionth american was born =D.
For serious news: the war
Entertainment news: Macca finally leaving that bitch heather
General: Notable people dying.
Crisis in Darfur. But of course with Americans being the fat, ignorant fools they are, they have no idea what even is going on over there.
I assume this is from an American’s point of view…
So probably the war in Iraq
Or maybe even the Ted Haggard drama
Crickey! The death of Steve Irwin. That made everyone depressed.
m/
honestly how can u define the whole year with one major news?
its on WHOLE year and i think soo much happended and its all very important and maybe somethings that we look at now as not so important will be
i guess we can just look ahead at 2007
umm.. hello? britney pears showing off her vagina!
ugh.. why does our soceity focus on things like that instead of important issues like darfur?
Fight Mental Illness Stigma
The American voters sent President Bush a clear message that he was not performing according to their will. It remains unclear whether the president will choose to take that message seriously or not.
L,r
so many things happened that are news worthy, but I just hope that 2007 is better then 2006 Happy New Year, Dan
Sandra Day O’Conner resigning.
Death of Steve Irwin for me.
I’m definately going on a tie with Steve Irwin’s death and Lance Bass telling everyone he was gay. Both shocked me immensely, they were amazingly unbelieveable stories.
The Democrats Winning was big.
