She is 55 today.

My thanks to Shelia Quinn, who did this story this morning and brought it to our attention:

The Wisconsin Tourism Federation has decided to change their name because of their initials. Years ago, the letters WTF didn't mean anything, but in this Internet world we live in today, the letters WTF have a very definite meaning online. Now, either you know what I'm talking about or you don't. I can't go into much more detail than that. I suspect most of you know what I'm talking about . A spokesperson for the agency said, "We have changed our name to the Tourism Federation of Wisconsin. We didn't want the initials WTF to detract from our mission."

Personally, I think they should have left it the way it was, the WTF, Wisconsin Tourism Federation. I think it could have led to a nice state slogan.....

"LET'S VISIT WISCONSIN, WTF!!!"

Here's a fun little story out of Houston, Texas. Authorities there say a woman was so mad at her former common-law husband, she fried up his pet goldfish and ate them. Police spokesperson Vance Mitchell says this is a civil matter and no charges will be filed. The police report says the two had argued early in the day about some jewelry the man had given her, but then had taken back. She wanted the jewelry returned. The man called police to report that the woman took his goldfish from his apartment. Officers who were dispatched to the woman's home arrived to find four fried goldfish on a plate on the dinner table. The woman told police she already ate the other three.

Where's Foxworthy when you need him? Come on, all together now. YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF YOU FRY UP YOUR FORMER COMMON-LAW HUSBAND'S GOLDFISH AND EAT THEM.

No wonder he left her. She's a lousy cook.
