Denny Lives!

It's after the New Year, and the writers' from Grey's Anatomy did not grant my wish. On tonight's new episode, dead Denny still lingers! It's gone from annoying to me shouting at the TV, "Die Denny, Die!"

Kathy Tops Gaza Crisis:

Griffin appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday night, Jan. 6, 2009. Kathy told the story about the New Year's Eve incident on CNN (see 1/5 post). Kathy said her mother is very upset about her embarrassing Anderson Cooper and Kathy's family. Kathy's reply was how could she embarrass her family; they're all Irish drunks. The CNN incident with Griffin was the lead news story on Thursday, Jan. 1, 2009 beating out the serious problems in Gaza.

Porn Bailout ???

This has to be a joke! Larry Flint and pals are asking for a bailout for pornography. When I think of those in need, I think: Porn Industry!

Like a Virgin:

Research has shown teens who take the virginity pledge are just as sexually active as those who do not.  The U.S. government spends more than $200 million annually on abstinence promotion programs. How about birth control information for the teens?

Bernie Madoff:

This guy is still at it, he mailed $1 million dollars in valuables to friends and family. His bail needs to be revoked immediately.

Calling all new seniors:

The Social Security Administration is introducing an on line application to apply for retirement benefits. It will only take about 15 minutes instead of going to a SS office and spending at least 1 hour. The over 65 set can Google as well as anyone!

Memoirs:

Laura Bush is set to write a book about her memoirs. I don’t know that I’ll pre-order my copy, but I’ll reflect quietly about time the Bush’s spent on the ranch. Eight years, and now she has something to say? Due to his low approval ratings the president has been urged to wait before trying to sell his book.

Packing:

President Bush and first lady, Laura Bush are packing.12 days to go. :)

Way to go Al:

Looks like Minnesota has a new senator. Al Franken is up by 225 votes in a race in which more than 2.9 million votes were cast.

Till next time,
