...and Nashville icon Ralph Emery is 76 today.

Ralph's the one in the middle.

In Vista, California, an interesting case of embezzlement. Former bookkeeper Annette Yeomans surrendered on Friday on charges of embezzling $9.9 MILLION from her employer, a cabinetry company. Authorities say while her boss was laying off her co-workers in order to deal with unexpected losses, Yeomans was spending, on the average, $25,000.00 a week. She remodeled her bedroom into a giant closet, complete with a 32-inch plasma TV and crystal chandelier, all to hold her collection of $300,000.00 worth of designer clothes, 400 pairs of designer shoes and 160 designer purses, valued at $2,000.00. Yeomans was the chief financial officer for the company. Sounds to me like she should of been in purchasing. Well, in fairness, she did NEED that giant closet. Buying chandeliers and designer shoes while her co-workers were being laid off. Wow! She shouldn't have been running a cabinet company. She should have been running a Wall Street bank!

Bluewater Comics of Washington State is publishing a series of comic books about powerful women in politics, including Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin. Creator Darren Davie says the Palin comic has been the most popular so far. It came out last month, sold out and is already in it's second printing.

Davis says next on the list is Nancy Pelosi. I would think that Pelosi would be easy to draw because the facial expression never changes.

We talked about this guy on the air this morning, but in case you missed it... It's nothing earth-shattering, but just a quirky story out of New Port Richey, Florida. Thirty-nine year old Frederick Crevoiserat's brother came over to visit and lit up a cigarette. Crevoiserat told him to put it out. When his brother refused, Crevoiserat grabbed a fire extinguisher and put it out for him, dousing his brother in fire extinguisher foam. Mind you, these are two grown men. So, what do you think? Do you think these two guys grew up watching The Three Stooges, or what? Crevoiserat was booked into the Pasco County Jail on charges of domestic battery and resisting arrest (that's probably a whole story in itself). For you ladies out there reading this, here's the really good news......

HE'S SINGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, Happy Belated Birthday to Senator Ted Kennedy. There was a big birthday party for him over the weekend in D.C. All of the usual suspects were there, political heavyweights, the Hollywood elite, celebrities, actors and actresses.
