It seems as if Obama’s healthcare plan may be in a bit of trouble. He’s in a huge hurry to get it passed before the August recess of the Senate and House. This is so that the opponents of the plan won’t have time to get their info out to the public and give the [...]

Well, it seems the powers that be in Florida have started issuing permits to a few python hunters to allow them to go into the Everglades and hunt down the pythons that have taken up residency there. It’s believed that most of these pythons originally were set free by owners who no longer wanted them. [...]

Well, it seems I was a bit mistaken on my last post. I inadvertently left out the death of Ed McMahon which threw off my mention of Hollywood’s three-death rule.
If we add Ed to the timeline previously created, we now have three deaths in one cycle - David Carradine, Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett. [...]

I just read this article about a Bonny Eagle High School senior being denied his diploma because, as he went onstage to pick up the diploma, he blew a kiss to his mother. The school was apparently just trying to keep things calm and horseplay to a minimum.
Sounds good, but give me a break [...]

I was just reading an article that was discussing the possibility that there isn’t as much wind out there as there used to be. Of course, they attribute it to global warming but none of them are really sure. They have all these scientific instruments that measure wind speed and such. My only comment is [...]

Susan Boyle has done it again. She does another incredible job singing in the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent. See it for yourself on YouTube. I don’t know how much longer this show goes on, but I think Susan Boyle certainly has the talent to win. Even if she doesn’t win, she should be able [...]

I just discovered this odd little bit of news. Researchers have now figured out a way to make monkeys that glow green under a special light! My first thought was, WHY?? But apparently there is a good reason. They will be better able to study certain diseases with these monkeys since not only their [...]

I’m hearing that our cell phone numbers are going to be made public on the first of June. More good news, now telemarketers can get these numbers and call our cell phones, not only bugging the daylights out of us but making it so we have to use our minutes to listen to their drivel. [...]

Here is something you may want to read, especially if you will have some earned income to claim on your tax return for 2009. It seems that all these wonderful tax credits that workers are getting may turn around to bite them when tax season rolls around next year.
For those with two jobs, they may [...]
