Weekend edition: Days 85 and 86

Newt Gingrich says he's not a hypocrit for wanting to run for Prez

Not many remember ol' Newt.  Just to sum up, he was congressman when Clinton was President.  He participated in his impeachment process, and was also found to have cheated on his wife.  I guess.. I guess the GOP doesn't have any better options?  Maybe?  I don't know. Politically speaking, it just seems awfully risky to pick him against Obama on re-election, so if they are going to choose him, they must not have anything better. 

Kirstie Alley slams George Lopez for pig joke

Oh, come on!  You call that a slam?  Lopez made a joke, Alley joked back.  Obviously using their comedian skills towards eachother.  It wasn't like Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump a few years ago.  Give me a break.

Deadly Egyptian cobra missing from Bronx Zoo

I guess that air control tower guy that fell asleep got a new job... and blew it again!

Day 84

Friday, March 25:

OMG! Oxford English Dictionary adds new words

For whatever reason, the dictionary is adding "FYI, "OMG" and "LOL" to its vast listings.   Does that mean it's technically allowed in high school essays?

Hispanic population exceeds 50 million, firmly nation's No. 2 group
It reminds me of a Paul Rodriguez joke from over 20 years ago.  "You're in America now!  Speak Spanish!!!"  Now, if the Muslim community starts to focus on us... oops, did I just say that?   ;)

Day 83

Thursday, March 24

Disney Cruise employee missing off Mexico

The report doesn't say whether they suspect foul play, nor do they identify the missing person.  The FBI has no jurisdiction because they were off the coast of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico when he went missing. 

Anyone wonder why I haven't been on a cruise before? 

Reagan air traffic controller fell asleep

Hehe... oops.

Day 82

Elizabeth Taylor dies at 79
News reports are giving two different dates for her death... March 22 and 23.  I heard about it on the 23rd, so I post it on the 23rd.  Married 8 times, 7 different husbands.  Was quoted as saying, ""I am a very committed wife, and I should be committed too -- for being married so many times." Holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for most costume changes in one movie:  65, as Cleopatra in the 1963 movie of the same title.

Day 81

Housing market continues to suffer

Economy is up... economy is down.  Either way, I have a house that's been on the market for over 2 years straight.  This STINKS!  This is TOTAL B.S.!!

Day 80

Kindle to add page numbers

I've never owned a Kindle.  I don't have time to read books on a regular enough basis to own one.  But... I just can't imagine needing page numbers if the thing can keep track of where I last left off.  Seems useless to me.  But, again, what do I know?


AT&T buys T-Mobile
I avoided going with AT&T for a reason... and now this!  Dang, maybe I'll have to go back to Sprint now.  Great.



Gadhafi's momentum stopped
 Don't you just love propaganda?  Yeah, like I really believe this.  We've barely even started, and I'm supposed to believe this "we're winning!!" tripe.  It's just begun, folks.  Mark my words.

Day 79

New club drug could leave users incontinent

Well, if I find myself deployed for a week at a time, and end up outside the wire shooting bad guys, maybe this'll come in handy.  After all, there usually aren't bathrooms out in the desert.
