Spring Break News

Not a lot going on this week since I have a house full of teenagers. I love these guys so much I think it might be a good idea of I go to Borders and just hang out, read and pound coffee.

But I did notice some interesting things going on in the news and thought I should bring them to the attention of my blog and make a comment or two.

In St. Paul, Minnesota the city's Human Rights Director, Tyronne Terrill has ordered the removal of a Easter Bunny and its trappings from the city hall. He claims it represents a Christian holiday and non-Christians could be offended. I do not know if Mr. Tyrone Terrill has ever opened the Bible but I wish someone would let him know that Christians do not worship rabbits, fake grass and those terribly tasting marshmellow candies.

Casper Weinberger passed away the other day. For all you protestors that despise this country and for what it stands for you may want to give old Casper a thought. If it wasn't for the likes of people like Casper Weinberger you probably wouldn't have the right to protest against the USA. Because of his dilligence and unwavering stance as the Secretary of State of the USA against the Soviet Union and their position to hold Europe hostage with their nuclear weapons. Supporting Ronald Reagan, Casper Weinberger ignored all the names hurled at him by the protestors that thought that Reagan and Weinberger's tough stance would lead to the demise of Europe and the USA. Well where is the Berlin Wall today?

We also lost the grinning Buck Owens the other day.

Today is Elbow Macaroni Day.

A man and his wife recently purchased $43,343.33 worth of Whoopers the other day. A cashier at a Burger King over charged the couple when they bought lunch. The couple did not notice the overcharge on their pay stub. And to make matters worse the cashier closing out the till later did not think it was too strange to have done so much business that day. Now I will listen to Mrs. Pirate when she tells me to check the receipt.

A man in New Delhi, India was required to stick to his divorce from his wife for 100 days before he will be allowed to remarry her. Apparently the fellow had mumbled the word "talaq" three times when he was in a heavy sudated sleep. The word is a Muslim word that means "I divorce you". If an Islamic man recites the word three times to his wife he is automatically divorced. According to the authorities it did not matter that he was asleep. He still must abide by the Islamic law.

Now its much more clear to me why these folks get upset over cartoons in a newspaper. I am confident the attorneys of this country are making damn sure we never adopt that law.

In Denver, Colorado a dummy driver is being sold on eBay for $15,000. I hope he doesn't end up driving in Los Angeles or Boston.

Sharon Stone mentioned the other day in an interview that she thought that peace between the Arabs and Israel was only a "breathe" away. While touring the Middle East to promote her new movie "Basic Instinct II" she was asked questions about the Middle East strife. God only knows why.

In other news Sharon Stone claims she is trying to promote oral sex. She was shopping the other day and over heard a discussion between a teenage girl and the girl's mother regarding showing too much belly with the shirt the girl wanted to purchase. When the mother left the area Sharon Stone approached the girl and encouraged her to take up oral sex because it was safer then intercourse and annal sex. Now it is much clearer to me what Sharon Stone meant by a piece is only a breath away.

Today is also breath mint day in Oregon.


Don't go getting all upset with me. This is just the way I found the news.


Peace....
