With all of this talk about pirates, it is important to not turn our backs on the rest of the world.
- Never in my life as a parent did I ever consider my children in danger if they went to a neighbor's house to play with a friend. A Sunday school teacher is in custody today, charged with assaulting and murdering a 9 year old neighbor and best friend of her daughter.
- It was announced yesterday that the death penalty will be sought against the mother of Caley Anthony, who is charged with her murder. (Where is the maternal instinct here?)
- Former Illinois governor B...................oyavich (sp) pleaded not guilty in court yesterday to charges that included trying to sell former Senator Obama's Senate seat. (I never trusted that hairdo!)
- In the 70's the Detroit Tigers had a starting pitcher who was known for talking to the baseball. He was given the nickname 'The Bird" because of his resemblance to Big Bird. Mark 'The Bird' Fydrich, age 56, was found dead on his Northampton, MA farm, the victim of an accident. Apparently he was doing work on a pickup truck when this happened.
- I see that The White House now has a First Dog. The newest arrival to the Obama family was paraded around the south lawn for the press. (Imagine, as a journalist, having to cover this one).
- And finally, at this moment Fox News is displaying a picture of Hugo Chavez, the anti-American President of Venezuela. He's wearing a bright red French beret and has a parrot standing on his shoulder. (No, I'm not on acid, OK). Now the only question remaining unanswered is which one of these creatures is smarter?
