A few things I've run across in the last couple of days:
In a hospital in central New York, doctors intent on harvesting a patient's organs suddenly realized that rumors of her death had been greatly exaggerated.
The United States is no longer the world's fattest nation. We've been overtaken by Mexico. Sí, se puede....comer!
Two House Democrats have proposed a new National Historical Park - on the moon. This would present a number of difficulties, starting with the fact that while the moon was explored by twelve Americans, is not United States territory. And any Department of the Interior personnel assigned to such a park would face an exceptionally difficult commute.
A House Republican has inserted an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would protect the religious freedom of military personnel.
If you're a legislator, please be careful how you write your laws. A law in Florida that bans Internet cafes might also ban computers and smartphones.
This next item is two and a half years old, but still relevant in light of the recent Supreme Court rulings on "gay marriage". This is a look inside the gay culture and the gay rights movement, from a former participant.
The Virginia Tech football team has lost a running back, due to his own fault. This past April, Michael Holmes was charged with malicious wounding, a felony, for his actions in a fight that started between his then-girlfriend and an ex-girlfriend. Holmes plea-bargained the charge down to assault and battery, a misdemeanor. School policy allows a misdemeanor offender to be reinstated to his athletic team, but a student judicial panel decided to expel Holmes from both the team and the school.
Scuba divers off the coast of Alabama have discovered the remains of a 50,000-year-old forest.
It would appear that protesters outside the U.S. embassy in Cairo have some complaints about our president. Like many teabaggers/hobbits/wacko-birds back here in the U.S., I say, "Join the club." Thankfully, many Egyptians seem able to distinguish between Barry and America.
The recent train wreck in Quebec, Canada may have been the result of tampering.
To finish, a musical blast from the past. Here's Nat King Cole and Billy Preston (age 11) performing Fats Domino's Blueberry Hill.
