Hitting the high Notes 11/11/2009

First of all a big thank you to all our Veterans on Veterans Day. The service you have given can never be fully re payed

Now on with my take on the news:

-So you want to send your kid to Duke University for the quality education huh? How would you feel about your daughter participating in a University funded study on the effects of sex toy parties on students attitudes about sex? As if college students weren't already in enough of a sexually charged atmosphere as it is lets introduce them to sex toy parties! Does anyone else think this might be a bad idea?

-On Sunday a deer got into the lions den at the Washington National Zoo in front of visitors including children and they got a lesson in what the wild is really all about. The deer did put up a good fight for survival and to be fair the lions did not actually eat it.

-It seems like the folks at Kraft foods don't like getting no for an answer. The US Food maker of such treats as Oreos and Miller Beer is making a hostile takeover bid for British candy maker Cadbury. Apparently somebody at Kraft reaaaaaly likes those nasty Creme Eggs.

-Speaking of Candy. Connecticut is experiencing a serious crime wave recently. Instead of robbing banks or liquor stores apparently the serious hard core gangstas in that area are into stealing chewing gum at an alarming pace. Rumor is that the Double mint twins are scared to visit Connecticut for fear of being kidnapped.

-Here is a quote from disgraced former beauty pageant and same sex marriage opponent Carrie Prejean taken from the Today Show :
“There is an extreme double standard that conservative women are under attack for whatever it is,” Prejean told Vieira. “If Sean Hannity went out there and said some of the things that Keith Olbermann has said about me, if he says anything about [Sonia] Sotomayor, Michelle Obama, he would be off the air. Why is there this double standard?" - Ummm Carrie ya know the difference is that Justice Sotomayor is well a like you know Supreme court Justice and Michelle Obama well like umm she is the like First Lady of the US and junk and you well you are a sanctimonious hypocritical former Miss California who thinks that anyone who disagrees with your prehistoric views on gay marriage is out to get you. Trust me if Sotomayor or Obama had made a sex tape they would be much bigger news than you.

-Amazing story here about a teenager who got stuck on an ice floe with three polar bears. He was trapped there for over a day on the freezing ice with them after his snowmobile broke down.... Good thing he had a gun.

-I read today where we had some hikers get arrested for espionage in Iran. The question I had was when did hikers all of a sudden become international spies? Because didn't we just have to send Slick Willy over to North Korea to free a couple of hikers a couple of months ago who got arrested for the same thing? Hiking has gotten kind of a bad rap recently hasn't it? Didn't SC Governor Mark Sanford try to say that he was hiking when he was really really South of the border? Hiking seem to pretty dangerous stuff these days. I guess if you plan to go hiking you better take several kinds of protection with you.

Until Next time...
