Sunday, November 7th, 2010If you like in the Great White North (Racissssst!) you may have noticed something different when you look up into the night sky. Great balls of fire have been reported in the northern U.S. and Canada, and some scientists are perplexed by the cause. No worries, though: NASA is on the case. Great balls of [...]
The Boys Of Post-Summer
Sunday, November 7th, 2010Sorry for the occasional disappearances, but it has been a busy two weeks around here. I’m playing hockey again, my work life has been “adjusted” (and maybe not for the better), soccer is in full season, and the boys are adjusting to their new classes. Erik just finished his best soccer season ever. His team [...]
We’re Riding On The Escalator Of Death
Saturday, November 6th, 2010As if there weren’t enough problems in Washington, D.C., the escalators of the D.C. Metro have been going crazy this week. Apparently, the things are built with a braking system, but like most things inside the Beltway, they don’t work. The result? Dozens of passengers have been sent flying, and ambulance chasers have been manning [...]
Supermodel Outscores Tennis Player Husband
Saturday, November 6th, 2010The supermodel in question is Brooklyn Decker, who outscored hubby Andy Roddick in an IQ test. Ouch, that’s gotta hurt. This past summer, Andy Roddick and wife Brooklyn Decker took an abbreviated IQ test while on a morning radio show in Austin. The Sports Illustrated cover girl scored an impressive 136, three points more than [...]
Philadelphia Police Inspector Arrested
Saturday, November 6th, 2010Philadelphia Police Inspector Carlos Daniel Castro was arrested today on charges of bribery and extortion. For those of you not familiar with the hierarchy of the PPD, inspector is the rank just above captain, and a stone’s throw away from a deputy commissioner appointment. In short, Castro was one of the department’s highest-ranked supervisors. Ya [...]

Obama Puts The Lame In The Cocount
Friday, November 5th, 2010Any time President Obama travels abroad, the U.S. Secret Service must plan for any threat. This is especially true for the president’s upcoming ten-day Asian trip. In India for instance, the threats are varied, and they can come from terrorists, anarchists, and even coconuts. Yeah, that’s right: I said a threat from coconuts. India is [...]
Living La Vida Hotta
Friday, November 5th, 2010This Mexican piece of hawt is Rebecca de Alba. She is singer Ricky Martin’s ex-girlfriend. Or is it ex-beard? Mexican model and television presenter Rebecca de Alba is making news today days after her former beau, Ricky Martin, had a tell all confession on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” about being homosexual. The journalist and former [...]
Send In The Clowns
Thursday, November 4th, 2010As part of New York City’s Channel 11′s “Shocktober” promotion, the station filmed a Halloween parade that streamed through Greenwich Village. Onlookers claimed the coverage was “Faaaaabulous!” Unfortunately, not everyone thought the parade was show tune-errific. A clown climbed one of the floats, grabbed on to a reporter, and “helped him” to the ground. Emmy-winning [...]
Is This Guy A Fan Of Halloween?
