There is a company in Dayton, Ohio having their economic problems supposedly. Excellence In Motivation is a company that provides employee incentive programs for Fortune 500 companies. They just laid off 34 employees. I guess they weren't motivated enough. On the plus side, the remaining employees who weren't laid off, are now extremely motivated.

I read something this morning off the wire of the Associated Press that struck me funny. It said that Venice, Italy has been struck by flooding.

How would you know?

Finally, this insanity continues with these pirates off the coast of Africa. How nuts is all of this? The latest is that yesterday, they fired shots (Like what? Cannonballs??) at a cruise ship with about 1,000 passengers on board. The cruise ship was basically able to outrun the pirates and nobody got hurt. But here's my question: Where were these gun-toting, blood-thirsty pirates when we needed them. You know, back in the days when Kathie Lee Gifford was singing on cruise ships?
