Who's not hot:

Favre Blames 'Retirement' on Packers



MILWAUKEE - Brett Favre wants to play but doesn't feel welcome in Green Bay, so he's asking to be released.

Favre made it clear he would not return to the Packers if he wasn't the starter.

There lies the rub, he still is under contract to the Packers. So basically it's I will start or I will retire, take your choice.

The team coach and owners should be able start him or play him as a reserve.

He needs to stay retired. He has now made himself an embarrassment.


Good hot:

Belgian Brewer to Buy Anheuser-Busch



After several months of persistence from Belgium's InBev, Budweiser maker Anheuser-Busch agrees to be acquired.

A sad sign of the time. A few more years and no company will be United States owned.


Hot for the women, not hot for the church:

Mormon “stud” calendar causes problems




"Men on a Mission," which has sold nearly 10,000 copies at $14.99 each, included pictures of 12 returned missionaries wearing black slacks, but not their trademark white shirts, in modest poses. The men also were photographed in traditional missionary garb and share their religious beliefs in biographical sketches.



Chad Hardy was excommunicated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for publishing a calendar of shirtless Mormon missionaries. Hardy said he was trying to counter stereotypical images of the church and bears no ill will.

Hardy, 31, was a missionary once, but has not been an active member of the church since 2002.

Time to tithe 15 % quick.
