She is 43 today.

Tony Sirico, probably best known for his role as Paulie Walnuts in the HBO series, The Sopranos is 67 today.

I guess it was back in the 70's, when a couple of kids became pretty well-known doing TV commercials. One was a really cute little kid named Rodney Allen Rippy. The other one was a rather hideous-looking kid named Mason Reese. For those of you who might not remember, here's a picture of Rodney Allen Rippy back then.
...and here's a picture of Mason Reese back then.The reason I bring all of this up is because today is Rodney Allen Rippy's birthday, and as you can see, at the age of 41, he grew up a very good-looking young man. ....on the other hand, Mason Reese is still hideous-looking.

Several new polls show Congress' approval rating sinking to around 30%, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi's approval rating about the same. Politico.com asked her if she minds being one of the most despised politicians in the country. She laughed and said, "No, I don't care.........I'm not particularly concerned if I'm liked."
If she is concerned, her face doesn't show it. In fact, her face never moves.

HEY, PELOSI!! EASE UP ON THE BOTOX, WILL YA?!!!!!!

I almost hesitate to get into the last thing because I'm sure there's an obvious, logical answer to my this question, and I'm missing it and will wind up looking like an idiot, but here goes............

You can go into any supermarket around town, Wegman's, Ukrop's. Giant. Bloom, it doesn't matter which one and buy ready-made macaroni salad, which they usually make themselves right on the premises. Let's say you go in and buy one pound of macaroni salad. You get this little plastic tub of macaroni salad that easily fits into your hand, and sure enough, it says it's a pound right on that little label they stick on to it. The other night, Rae decided to make macaroni salad at home (which she does very well). She had a one-pound box of elbow macaroni, but only made half the box. That's half of a pound of macaroni. Rae doesn't add any "unusual" ingredients in her macaroni salad, just the normal stuff, celery, green onion, diced tomatoes, etc. Cooking only half a pound of elbow macaroni, she always winds up with this big bowl of macaroni salad. It's at least 4 times the size of the little plastic tub they give you in the store when you buy ONE POUND of the stuff. How is it that when you buy a pound of the macaroni salad in the store, you get a little container, but when you make a half of pound at home, you wind up with this huge bowl? Can somebody out there explain this to me. Seriously, it's driving me nuts. What is it that I'm not getting about this? If you can explain this, call me in the studio in the morning at 540 710-1045, or if you don't feel comfortable calling a radio station, e-mail me at dennymore@thunder1045.com .
