Teacher's Pet

OK that's it, I have decided to sue my school.



When I attended school it was a kindergarten through 12 campus, so there was plenty of opportunity for me to get a complete education during that time.

I'm not sure if the statute of limitations has run out, but I feel I lost out on a first-class education like many kids are getting today.

This is what I am basing my lawsuit on:

A former Tacoma, Wash., elementary school teacher was found guilty Monday of having sex with a 10-year-old student and his 15-year-old brother.

Nebraska middle school math teacher Kelsey Peterson was sentenced Thursday to eight to 10 years in prison for first-degree sexual assault of a minor. Peterson fled to Mexico with a 13-year-old student in October 2007. She will serve the time simultaneously with a six-year federal prison sentence.

A Massachusetts teacher was charged Feb. 24 with kidnapping a 15-year-old student and taking him to a West Virginia motel where the two were found together.

South Carolina elementary school teacher Wendie Schweikert, 37, pleaded guilty to having sex with an 11-year-old student.

Florida middle school teacher Debra Lafave was sentenced to house arrest and probation in 2005 after pleading guilty to charges that she had sex with a 14-year-old student.

Mary Kay Letourneau served a seven-year sentence in California for having sex with student Vili Fualaau when he was 12.

Tennessee gym teacher Pamela Rogers received an eight-year sentence for having sex with a 13-year-old student.

California teacher Rebecca Boicelli was sentenced to two years in prison after DNA tests proved her 16-year-old student was the father of her child.

None of my teachers offered me that type of education.

OK change of plans. While preparing my case to take to the attorney, I gathered up all of my class pictures to submit as evidence.

Even though the pictures are black and white, since I don't think color film had been invented yet, upon close inspection of my female teachers in the pictures I have a change of heart.

I have decided that there was one girl Rita, that was in the class ahead of me, who in the hay field behind the school during recess and lunch might have given me a better education.

The Spoken Word

It is said, but is it true?

When everyone on earth was dead and waiting to enter paradise , God appeared and said, "I want married men to make two lines.

One line for men who were true heads of their household, and another line for men who were dominated by their wives.

The line of men who were dominated by their wives was 1,000 miles long and in the line of men who truly were heads of their household, there was only one man.

God said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves. You have not followed my directions in the Scriptures. You have been disobedient and have not fulfilled your responsibility. Of all of you, only one obeyed! Learn from this man."

God then turned to the one man and asked, "You are the only one in this line. How did you manage that?"

The man replied, "My wife told me to stand here."

And so it is said!!

But this is nothing new, for according to Matthew 14:92: it is written:

"And Mary rode Joseph's ass all the way to Egypt ..."



OK moving on, today's post is going to be shorter as I am kinda tired.

I worked the long shift 7 A.M. to midnight Friday and the 4P.M. to midnight on Sunday plus I tried to spend as much free time with son Tyler who was in town for an all-too-short visit.

We worked in the viewing of two movies while he was here, which is always good.

One of the two movies we watched was "The Wrestler" starring Mickey Rourke.

In case you have not seen this movie you should put it on your to-do list because it is a great movie.

In fact, even though there are those that don't think professional wrestling is a sport, I do, and would rate this movie as one of the top sports movies made.


Oh by the way, I know how much you all look forward to reading this blog everyday but I am afraid there will be no post tomorrow as once again I am working the 7 A.m. to midnight shift.

I know, I know, you are disappointed and are swearing at me right now but:

Show Me Your Greenbacks Suckers

"We'll restore science to its rightful place."


SYDNEY: New analysis has indicated that contrary to the belief that there is large-scale melting of ice over most of Antarctica, ice is actually expanding in a large portion of the continent.

Antarctica has 90 percent of the Earth's ice and 80 percent of its fresh water. Extensive melting of Antarctic ice sheets would be required to raise sea levels substantially, and ice is melting in parts of west Antarctica.

The destabilization of the Wilkins ice shelf generated international headlines this month.

However, according to a report in the Australian, the picture is very different in east Antarctica, which includes the territory claimed by Australia.

East Antarctica is four times the size of west Antarctica and parts of it are cooling. The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research report noted that the South Pole had shown "significant cooling in recent decades."

According to Australian Antarctic Division glaciology program head Ian Allison, sea ice losses in west Antarctica over the past 30 years had been more than offset by increases in the Ross Sea region, just one sector of east Antarctica.

"Sea ice conditions have remained stable in Antarctica generally," Dr Allison said.

The melting of sea ice - fast ice and pack ice - does not cause sea levels to rise because the ice is in the water.

Sea levels may rise with losses from freshwater ice sheets on the polar caps.

In Antarctica, these losses are in the form of icebergs calved from ice shelves formed by glacial movements on the mainland.

Dr Allison said there was not any evidence of significant change in the mass of ice shelves in east Antarctica nor any indication that its ice cap was melting.

"The only significant calvings in Antarctica have been in the west," he said.

Ice core drilling in the fast ice off Australia's Davis Station in East Antarctica by the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Co-Operative Research Centre shows that last year, the ice had a maximum thickness of 1.89m, its densest in 10 years.

The average thickness of the ice at Davis since the 1950s is 1.67m.

A paper to be published soon by the British Antarctic Survey in the journal Geophysical Research Letters is expected to confirm that over the past 30 years, the area of sea ice around the continent has expanded.


Sun dimmest it's been in 100 years

From the BBC: Quiet sun baffling astronomers. The sun is at its dimmest it has been for nearly a century. There are no sun spots, very few solar flares and our nearest star is the quietest it's been for a very long time.

The sun normally undergoes an 11 year cycle of activity. At its peak it has been tumultuous boiling atmosphere that spits out flares and planet size chunks of super hot gas. This is followed by a calmer period. Last year it was expected that it would have been hotting up after a quiet spell but instead it hit a 50 year low in solar wind pressure, a 55 year low in radio emissions and a 100 year low in sun spot activity.

In the mid 17th century a quiet spell lasted 70 years and led to a mini ice age. Evidence from tree trunks and ice cores suggest that the sun is calming down after an unusually high point in its activity.


Gore's Phony Hysteria.

I hope someone forwards the link for my blog to Al Gore. I tried to get him on the phone but I was told he was busy writing his next book of fiction about global warming, which I think since most of his stuff has been rebuffed, now has to be classified as fiction.

Is Al Gore a scientist or a journalist? Scientists are so darn smart, they know exactly when the climate problem is global warming and also when it's climate change. Journalists know how to sell books.

Now Gore's fantasies have become the new American fad.

Money, money - that is what all the green carbon footprint foolishness is going to cost each and everyone of us.

Friday Nonsense

What does the oldest profession do when things get bad?

Economic Crisis Hits German Sex Industry

BERLIN - It did not take long for the world financial crisis to affect the world's oldest profession in Germany.

In one of the few countries where prostitution is legal, and unusually transparent, the industry has responded with an economic stimulus package of its own: modern marketing tools, rebates and gimmicks to boost falling demand.

Some brothels have cut prices or added free promotions while others have introduced all-inclusive flat-rate fees. Free shuttle buses, discounts for seniors and taxi drivers, as well as "day passes" are among marketing strategies designed to keep business going.

One Club has attracted media attention with its headline-grabbing "flat rate" -- a 70-euro admission charge for unlimited food, drink and sex between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

"Our offer might sound like it's too good to be true, but it's real. You can eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want and have as much sex as you want."

Guys are really trying to driving a hard bargain.

Not speaking from experience, but only from what I have read on the Internet, men are not complicated - give them sex, booze and food. Then the only thing missing from that fun package is a T.V. remote.


Other businesses are taking a different approach:


Something for everyone for sure.

An Old And A Young Straight Shooter

With the economy issues of late, there are a lot of stories that get buried in the news.

I wonder how many of you caught the following?

Retired Green Beret shoots intruder, gets court martial

BREVARD, Jan. 19, 2008 – Retired Army Green Beret Smokey Taylor got his court martial this weekend and came away feeling good about it.

Taylor, at age 80 the oldest member of Chapter XXXIII of the Special Forces Association, was on trial by his peers under the charge of "failing to use a weapon of sufficient caliber" in the shooting of an intruder at his home in Knoxville, TN, in December.

The entire affair, of course, was very much tongue in cheek. Taylor had been awakened in the early morning hours of Dec. 17, 2007, when an intruder broke into his home. He investigated the noises with one of his many weapons in hand.

When the intruder threatened him with a knife, Taylor warned him, then brought his .22 caliber pistol to bear and shot him right between the eyes.

"That boy had the hardest head I've ever seen," Taylor said after his trial. "The bullet bounced right off."

The impact knocked the would-be thief down momentarily. He crawled out of the room then got up and ran out the door and down the street. Knoxville police apprehended him a few blocks away and he now awaits trial in the Knox County jail.

The charges against Taylor were considered to be serious. He is a retired Special Forces Weapons Sergeant with extensive combat experience during the wars in Korea and Vietnam.
"Charges were brought against him under the premise that he should have saved the county and taxpayers the expense of a trial," said Chapter XXXIII President Bill Long of Asheville. "He could have used a .45 or .38. The .22 just wasn't big enough to get the job done."

Taylor's defense attorney, another retired Weapons Sergeant, disagreed. He said Taylor had done the right thing in choosing to arm himself with a .22.

"If he'd used a .45 or something like that the round would have gone right through the perp , the wall, the neighbor's wall and possibly injured some innocent child asleep in its bed," he said. "I believe the evidence shows that Smokey Taylor exercised excellent judgment in his choice of weapons. He did nothing wrong, and clearly remains to this day an excellent weapons man."

Counsel for the defense then floated a theory as to why the bullet bounced off the perp's forehead.

"He was victimized by old ammunition," he said, "just as he was in Korea and again in Vietnam, when his units were issued ammo left over from World War II."

Taylor said nothing in his own defense, choosing instead to allow his peers to debate the matter. After the trial he said the ammunition was indeed old and added the new information that the perp had soiled his pants as he crawled out of the house.

"I would have had an even worse mess to clean up if it had gone through his forehead," Taylor said. "It was good for both of us that it didn't."

Following testimony from both sides, Taylor was acquitted of the charges and was given a round of applause.

Meanwhile, back in Knox County, the word is out: Don't go messing with Smokey Taylor. He just bought a whole bunch of fresh ammo.

A Green Beret should know you always keep your powder dry and you have fresh ammo.

Patrick Schuster Sets Florida High School Record With 4 Straight No-Hitters

No-hitters are similar to holes-in-one: they don't come around very often. Unless you're Patrick Schuster of Mitchell High School in New Port Richey, Fla., that is. See, Schuster has four no-hitters. In a row.

Stunningly, the all-time national record for most no-hitters in a row is six (!), but Schuster, who has been recognized by Baseball America as a mid-level prospect for "early draft speculation," now holds the record in the state of Florida

OK, now the question is how much are the Yankees going to spend to get him?

The Day The Wind Stopped In Las Vegas

Finally spring arrived and one day later summer is upon us.

I thought it would be a good time to take you on a stroll around Vicki's park and check out a little of the scenery as it is coming into bloom.


I have enlisted a guide to take us on our journey.




























Ahh I have to wonder what the park would look like if we had just had two days of spring.

Maybe next time we will take the Jungle Cruise.

It's All About The Females

I don't know how many of you have seen the Budweiser commercial where the Clydesdale horse falls in love with the circus horse and chases it to the next town and they run off together.

Well, evidently other horses saw that commercial and now they are gussying themselves up trying to score a Clydesdale for themselves.

It's amazing the lengths they will go to. Check out what a visit to the hairdresser will do:







The Clydesdale mares better watch out, these girls are trying to steal their stud muffins.


Speaking of females and hair:


Have you ever noticed no matter the situation the first thing a woman is worried about is her hair?


Here is proof that there is a right time and a wrong time to come out of the closet:


I think those smiles are going to disappear real soon.


Speaking of smiles, there appears to be a lot of happy Harry Potter fans out there:

Hmmmmmmm, I wonder if they know Costco sells batteries in bulk.


I have always heard about southern hospitality but this takes the cake.

Woman Survives Gunshot to Forehead

A Mississippi woman who was shot in the head not only survived but made herself tea and offered an astonished deputy something to drink, authorities said Friday.

A deputy was greeted by the woman when he arrived minutes after she was shot with the slug from a .380-caliber handgun.

She had made herself some tea and offered the officer something to drink.

Since it was in the south she probably offered the deputy some of that nasty sweet ice tea.


That's it for today, there will be no new post tomorrow because of that dreaded late shift.

If you don't believe and if you are upset about the United States currency having the phrase "In Got We Trust" on it, then may I suggest you use checks and send me your currency as it won't bother me to spend it.

First Impressions

I have talked about this before, and now another situation has come to my attention that I felt I should write about.

We have all heard the phrase you should not judge a book by it's cover but when it comes to people we still have a tendency to do just that.

The funny thing is for some reason we all think we are just perfect and if the person we are judging doesn't look like a perfect 10, dress just right, comb their hair just right or on and on then they are to be scoffed at or dismissed.

The sad thing is this happens more than one can imagine.

An example is a video that is sweeping the nation that you may or may not have seen but is a prime example of what I am talking about.

I am adding the link for you to watch the video and I would like you look at the lady's picture before reading the article, see how she is dressed, her hair and remember your first impression.

Then I would like you to pay close attention to the judges and audience reaction to her prior to her singing.

Then after she sings pay attention to the judges, the audience and also your reaction.

I think once you watch this video you will get my point!!! Check it out here.



I don't know about you but there are some commercials on T.V. that are so bad you wonder how the ad agency can stay in business.

Then there are others that are just plain funny even though some people seem to get all offended and demand the commercial be pulled of the air as is in the case of a new Burger King commercial.

Oh political correctness has gotten so bad we can no longer laugh at ourselves.

The great thing is if they take them off T.V. there is always youtube.

I thought it funny so check it out here and see what you think.




On occasion on my blog I talk about what is wrong with the Catholic Church.

I have come across something I thought to be smart and innovative and today in the interest of being fair and balanced I would like to hook you up with the link for you to check it out.

Many of you have heard of Sham Wow but I wonder how many of you have heard of Soul Wow. Unlike Sham Wow Soul Wow is free and no purchase is necessary. Please check out Father Vic here.




That's a wrap and as always, this blog is like a hamburger it gets to the meat of the matter.

Really Good Bad Guys

United States Navy SEALs


The United States Navy Sea, Air and Land Forces

Hooyah! -- the war cry of the Navy SEALs

The Navy SEALs, are the Special Operations Forces of the United States Navy, employed in direct action and special reconnaissance operations. SEALs are also capable of employing unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, counter-terrorism, and other missions.

Any place where there are currently U.S. troops, you'll find that SEALs are either there now or were there first. The role that Navy SEAL teams play revolves around getting in and out quickly and without being seen, gathering intelligence, destroying targets, and performing rescues, among other things.


U.S. Special Operations Forces, which includes elite commando forces from each branch of the military, such as the Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Green Berets, and others have become critical to many U.S. military successes over the past decade. Each branch of the military has its own specially trained teams that can operate in any situation and perform whatever task it takes to get the job done.

SEAL training is brutal. It takes over 30 months to train a Navy SEAL to the point at which he will be ready for deployment. The SEALs that emerge are ready to handle pretty much any task they could be called on to perform, including diving, combat swimming, navigation, demolitions, weapons, and parachuting. The training pushes them to the limit both mentally and physically in order to weed out those who may not be able to successfully complete the demanding missions and operations with which SEALs are faced. The types of stresses they endure during BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL) are the same stresses they will endure as SEALs. If they can't withstand it when lives aren't on the line, chances are good they won't be able to withstand it when lives are at stake.


From day one in SEAL training, trainees are taught the importance of teamwork. Focus is not on the individual. The fact that the SEALs have never left another SEAL behind on a mission is a testament to this belief system. Throughout their training, they learn more and more why teamwork is necessary in the type of work they will soon be entering: SEALs are performing tasks that may not be possible for a single man to accomplish, but can be possible for a team composed of men who have the same training and skills. Their success depends on what they can do together as a team.


Recently we got to see the SEALs in action.

Navy Snipers Kill Pirates, Rescue Captain

Navy Snipers Fire Three Flawless Shots to Free American Hostage

Bracing themselves on a rolling warship in choppy seas, U.S. Navy snipers fired three flawless shots to kill a trio of Somali pirates and free the American sea captain being held at gunpoint, a Navy commander said Monday.

Way To Go Navy SEALs!!!!!!!!!

HOW BAD ARE THESE REALLY GOOD GUYS?

In Somalia, in 1992 a SEAL sniper prevented a group of marines from being shot at by a Somali gunman.

It was reported that a SEAL sniper with an M88 .50 caliber sniper rifle spotted a Somali gunman ducking behind a rock wall. He believed that the gunman was getting his weapon ready to fire at approaching Marines, who were under orders to capture the Somali faction leader, Hussein Mohammed Aideed. The SEAL knew that he could not warn the Marines in time to avoid becoming targets. He fired his rifle, sending the bullet through the rock wall and taking down the gunman behind it.

I love the fact we have the Navy SEALs watching over us.

Thank you to our military past and present.

There will be no new post tomorrow due to another late shift tonight.

Happy Easter

Happy Hopping Easter, rise up from your keester and go lay some eggs, let kids use their legs to run all around, find gifts on the ground, those round colored treats, so sweet, hard to beat, no beets, eat the carrots, rich candy inherit and pair it with bonnets, spring out Easter sonnets, some lawn gifts, get on it, some holy writ on phonics, phone off electronics, elect histrionics and act out a scene, while wearing Windsor green, whether seven or seventeen, always jolly for jelly beans, a kid’s kind of cuisine; I mean, all that is great, pile peeps onto their plate, Peter Cottontail dinner date, go create a basket crate, but then please integrate, all the great holiday traits, that trace new life returning, the Lamb of God lies yearning to tell all of his tale, that symbol you’ll unveil, through bountiful bunny tails and trails of candied grails.

Around The Globe in 80 seconds

Well, here we are back to Friday again.

I was working on a serious post for today when I realized it's Friday so I had better take you around the world for your updates.


Some people just like to hang out as demonstrated here:

BERLIN - The skeleton of a German retiree who tied himself to the top of a tree and shot himself to death nearly 30 years ago has been found by a hiker.

German police in the southern town of Landshut said on Monday the 69-year-old man disappeared in 1980 and had been classified as missing. "After searching the area we found the skeleton up in the tree with the pistol hanging on a rope next to it," said the police.

I always thought trees were to hang yourself or someone from. This story could bring back the western movies.


The department of motor vehicles in Colorado has no sense of humor:

'Tofu' License Plate Deemed X-Rated

A Colorado woman loves tofu so much that she decided to tell the world, right on her license plate. But DMV officials say her suggestion for the plate -- "ILVTOFU" -- could be misinterpreted as profane.

I haven't tried tofu but from the looks of the stuff I guess I would agree it is profane because it looks just plain nasty.


Is nothing sacred?

Divorce court no place for frozen dog sperm flap

PONTIAC, Mich. -The judge wondered if she was an unwitting participant in an episode of "Candid Camera" or "Punk'd." Oakland County Family Court Judge Cheryl Matthews wasn't. She just had a front-bench seat Wednesday for a feud between a divorced couple over who gets frozen sperm from bull mastiffs they bred in happier times.

I wonder who harvested the dogs' sperm? Now there is your visual for the day.


It's the law:

In Santa Cruz , Bolivia , it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.

I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?


Dangerous research:

Flower power

Even if a woman's self-conscious about her body, wearing a spicy floral fragrance can make her seem to be 12 pounds thinner to men, according to a study by the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago.

Men beware, when the woman of your life asks how you like the smell of her new perfume, you are now entering the no-win zone.

When she asks and you say to her "Honey, you you smell 12 pounds thinner," plan on sleeping in the spare room for a while.



It's a gas:

Man causing real stink in motel room gets stabbed

WACO, Texas -A man was stabbed after causing a stink — literally — in a motel room while eating with a friend, police said. Five men from the Houston area were sharing a Waco motel room Tuesday night, and two were inside the room eating when one had a flatulence problem. One man was so upset about the gas that he threw a large knife at him, cutting his leg, and then stabbed him in the chest, Waco police said.

Can you say Taco Bell?


That's a wrap for this week.

Sunday is a late night work shift for me so there will be no new post Monday.

Sunday is also Easter, the chief Christian feast, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion.

My wish for you is that your table be bountiful and may you find lots of the colored eggs left by the Easter Bunny.

Sex Sells And Grabs New Readers

What do a box of cereal and Hillary Clinton have in common?

Cereal Box Typo Sends Callers to Sex Line

An Oregon company has ordered new packaging for its Peace Cereal after a typo on the box sent callers to a phone sex line instead of the cereal maker's 800 number. Instead of reaching Golden Temple of Oregon, callers were greeted by a recorded voice asking, "Do you love sex? ... Isn't that why you called?"

Now that's the way to enjoy a bowl of Frosted Flakes don't you think?



Clinton Call Connects to Phone Sex Line

Journalists who dialed in to a White House conference call Thursday hoping for a media-friendly reception got a far friendlier response than they were counting on.

Instead of hearing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and National Security Adviser Jim Jones on the other end laying out foreign policy and security threats, reporters were greeted by a recording on a phone sex line.

"Do you have any hidden desires? If you feel like getting nasty, then you came to the right place," said a suggestive-sounding woman.

I suspect the Journalists enjoyed that call more than any calls they have with Hillary.



News Story from Germany - Ooops!





I have always believed in the phrase "If at first you don't succeed try, try again."



Do you want to know how to drive a lady crazy?



Blow in my ear and I will follow you anywhere.



Now that all you readers are heated up, I thought I should include the following warning.



Just remember it is always better to err on the side of caution.

I received a call and today is an unscheduled late shift so there will be no post tomorrow.

A Poem From My Son Tyler

Scare Tactics

Eye today and see tomorrow, sleep until your sleepy hallow, Halloween and weenie wallows wallop polish Pollock waters. Wallowing down drunken sorrow, rowing oars of font-vibrato, bravo for my new bravado, savant gravel you can’t follow.


Follow me in doe-see-doe, doe-see-doe and see-doe-see, remove the doe and keep the see, and what you see is destiny. I’m dressed in pressed impressing three, my big, my best, invest in me. I’m mealy mouthy foully free from stitches stitching itch in me.


My meteor deterred off track, it traced a case without a fact, for fiction sticks and stuck to me ‘til fact fought back with inner smack. It smacked the jackets off those whack, erratic racket rat bit hacks who hacked jaw jack like flops of fat, fatidic quips of quitter crap.


I’m cramping from this ram and rip like Randy Ram in Wrestler flick; I’m ripping riddles into hip, hypnotic hits of herbage trips. I’m tripping over lost careers, careening teams of sheens and shears, my sheer determination clear, I’m clearing, cleaning out the fears.

I fear you might be reading this, with drips of drizzle from the slits, which sit inside the space between, the rings of soul that hold the key, to seeing what we need to see, believing what we need to feed, the greed that bleeds below the glow of black holes where our hearts once roamed.

Thank you Tyler, you are the best.

Today is another one of those late shifts so there will be no post tomorrow.

Around America In 80 Seconds

One of the nicest doctors I know has a blog and today I am going to steal something from her blog.

She has three cute girls (poor husband - 4 females, one house) and on her blog she posted a great idea for packing a kid's lunch which I found impressive.

I hope she doesn't mind, but I just had to share it.


"I packed Landree's lunch today for school. I followed some ideas found on Family Fun. I put carrots in her bag of cheetos and resealed the bag as well as a worm in her apple."


How fun is that? What a great idea to have kids eat healthy.

I hope it was OK to steal the picture and comment, otherwise since Dr. G is my Chiropractor, the next visit I have I may walk out hurting more than I did walking in.



Yesterday I reported the good news about the T.V. show Friday Night lights being renewed for two more years and today I am saddened to report one of my other favorite T.V. shows is going to end.

Some of you may remember it from radio (yes, radio) where it got it's start in 1937 and then moved to television in 1952.

My how time flies as it seems like only yesterday the family all gathered around the radio to hear 'Guiding Light'. It was like a beacon and now in September the filaments that once burned so bright have worn out and there will no longer be a light to lead us.


In case you missed it, one of the top news magazines, The National Enquirer, that I read cover to cover, ran this the other day:

The National Enquirer reported the 29-year-old Chelsea Clinton planned to wed Marc Mezvinsky, 31, in a secret $1 million wedding.

Of course there has to be a press release from US magazine that reads Chelsea Clinton Not Engaged, Rep Says.

I know that story has me on the edge of my seat as I'm sure you are yours.

Personally I think they have a lot in common.

Mezvinsky, an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, and Clinton met through their parents when they were teens.

Marc Mezvinsky is the son of former Iowa Rep. Edward Mezvinsky and former NBC reporter and Pennsylvania congresswoman Marjorie Margolies. Edward Mezvinsky has served time in prison for investment fraud.

Ahh not to hard to see why the parents were friends and they want their children to follow in their footsteps.


Tiger Woods better watch out:

W.Va. retiree, 70, aces consecutive holes


CHARLESTON, W.Va. -A Boone County golfer has two reasons to celebrate a hole-in-one at Charleston's Coonskin Park. Retiree Carl Smith, 70, aced consecutive holes on the executive par 3 course Tuesday.

Starting his round on the back nine, Smith used a pitching wedge to ace the 70-yard 18th hole. He said it never entered his mind to try for another.

After a short snack break, Smith used a sand wedge on the 100-yard first hole and saw his tee shot bounce twice before disappearing into the cup. His friend, Bob Roy, witnessed the feats.

Smith took up golf after retiring in 1999 and finding a full set of clubs at a discount store for $4.95.

Sad to say but he probably doesn't remember either of the hole in ones.

Smith was busy with other matters Wednesday — he's in a weekly bowling league - maybe a 300 game is in the works.



Easter is on the way and so is the Easter bunny.

Twin twitchers: Conn. pet shop has 2-nosed bunny

MILFORD, Conn. -It's no April Fools joke. The baby bunny really does have two noses. A Connecticut pet shop worker found the nosey bunny in a delivery of 6-week-old dwarf rabbits that arrived at the Milford store last week.



I had a friend that was born with 4 feet. He had 2 facing forward and 2 facing backward.
He was a nice guy but he never knew if he was coming or going.

And there you have your update from across America.

Tired Craziness

Great news:

NBC renews 'Friday Night Lights' through 2011

The acclaimed series has been renewed for two more 13-episode runs and will air through the 2010-11 season, the network said Monday.

As I have said before it is the best show on T.V.

Well the price of cigarettes went up today thanks to the enormous tax increase. As much as I hate to say it I am going to have to cut back a little. Yeah yeah, I know all the non-smokers will tell me how easy that is even though it is not.

I am going to try out a new thing to help quit. It is called mint Chew.



The mint chew has no harmful chemicals in it but also has no nicotine so I'm skeptical.

Should this not work next week Camel is coming out with a new chew with no harmful chemicals that might help and it has nicotine in it so we will see.
