Good Friday morning to you! I helped roast Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann last night for the Mississippi Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, so I got in late and now have gotten up early. But it was all for a good cause and I think they raised just short of $40,000 last night. So it was a great night for an important cause.
Weather. There’s a 100% chance of sunrise and a 70% chance of rain this weekend. The temps will continue to warm up today (it will be partly sunny today) and then drop off a cliff again next week.
Car slides off road into Reservoir, heroes pluck driver from icy waters. It’s nice to live in a place where people save people without even blinking.
Nobel Prize ceremony goes on with empty chair to represent jailed Chinese activist Liu Xiaobo. From the story, “China was infuriated when the prestigious prize was awarded to the 54-year-old literary critic, who is serving an 11-year prison sentence on subversion charges brought after he co-authored a bold call for sweeping changes to Beijing’s one-party communist political system.”
Protesters attack car carrying Prince Charles. It was because of Britian’s planned hikes in tuition. If American students rioted because of tuition hikes, they’d be throwing rocks at cars on every day that ends with “Y”.
The $700 billion financial bailout has MADE $35 billion over the past two years. That’s better than my 401K. Wish the Government would screw up like that more often.
Scum alert: Westboro Baptist Church to picket Elizabeth Edwards’ funeral. I’m all into Free Speech but I’m also into speech having consequences. Those jerks give real Christians a bad name.
New strain of bacteria is eating the Titanic. Up next, it will eat the film. Interesting facts about the Titanic.
I don’t comment on these posts very much but I love to read and click. I especially appreciate the scum alert. I think those idiots have united people from just about every different political, economic, religious, and gender-preference background in outrage.
