A Health Warning, Waterboarding & Happy Birthday To Calypso Louie
Tomorrow's Fourth Clue for More's Mystery: This person is a singer, dancer, choreographer and television personality.
Happy Birthday today to comedian Mort Sahl. He's 82. Does anybody out there remember Martha Quinn? She was one of the original vee jays on MTV, when they first went on the air a hundred years ago. She's 50 today. Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan is celebrating a birthday today, and no joke, Farrakhan really was a calypso singer back in the fifties (his name was Eugene Walcott at the time). In fact, he recorded several calypso albums back then under the name "The Charmer".
Louie is 76 today.
This morning, we were talking about the guy in Clifton Park, New York who claims he found a severed snake head in his salad at the TGI Friday's up there. His name is Jack Pendleton and not everybody thinks this guy is legit. Some people think he threw the snake head in there for attention (He HAS made national news). Others think he's just setting himself up for a lawsuit. He says he has no intentions to sue(that would be even rarer than finding a snake head in your salad), but he DID snap a picture of it using his cellphone.
A spokeswoman for the chain says they're investigating. It's wasn't immediately known what kind of snake it was (WHAT THE HECK DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE?). Pendleton and his girlfriend were not charged for their meals. YOU MEAN THEY SAT THERE AND FINISHED THEIR MEALS!!!!????? What's interesting here is Pendleton says he has no intentions of suing, BUT he DID take a picture if it. So, he either does have intentions of suing, or he took a photo because he believes that when you find a snake head in your salad, it's one of those moments you want to cherish forever. The other possibility here is that the guy really did find a snake head in his salad because he wasn't at TGI Friday's.....he was actually at a Japanese restaurant.According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, most Americans do NOT believe Congress should investigate officials in the Bush Administration for authorizing harsh interrogation procedures, including water boarding. Of the 2,019 adult Americans polled between April 23 through April 26, 50% APPROVED of the Bush Administration's decision to go ahead with the water boarding. Another 46% disapproved and 3% had no opinion (That always cracks me up in these polls. How can you have NO opinion?). When the same people were asked, "Regardless of whether you approve or disapprove of water boarding, do you feel it is a form of torture?", 60% said, "Yes", 36% said "No", and 3% (you guessed it) had no opinion. When asked if Congress should investigate, as some lawmakers are urging, 57% said, "No", 42% said, "Yes", and 1% had no opinion. So, there you have it. Interesting little side note on this survey: Of the people polled, 100% said they believe water boarding SHOULD be done on Dr. Phil.
Finally, another warning today from the World Health Organization regarding the swine flu. They're saying, in order to keep from getting the flu, avoid places where large numbers of people gather.................like Paris Hilton's bedroom.
My name is Denny More. I'll be here all week. Good Night!
