Congratulations to Carrie Underwood, who announced yesterday that she got engaged to hockey player Mike Fisher.There's probably a joke here somewhere about his stick, but we'll just move on.From a happy note, we go to a sad note: The real-life "Rain Man" has died. He is the man who inspired the title character in the Oscar-winning movie.
Kim Peek was 58. Hmmmmmmmmm....I wonder how many seconds that is.Some interesting medical news today: Drinking purple grape juice can reduce or even REVERSE memory loss. Experts believe antioxidants in the skin and juice of purple grapes are behind the results. Scientists at the psychiatry department of the University of Cincinnati carried out a study involving people with early memory loss. They found that those who drank grape juice showed great memory improvement. Therefore, they believe that drinking grape juice reduces and even reverses memory loss.
I should try this. Do you know how many times I walk into a room to get something and when I get into the room, I have no idea what I went in there for? Then I have to go back into the room I came from to try to figure it out. Actually, I DO drink a lot of grape juice, but in my case the grape juice is fermented which can actually CAUSE memory loss.
This colossal waste of time, money and energy known as the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen is history. While these jokers were there trying to figure out how to stop global warming, the temperature there dropped to the mid-20s, cold even for Copenhagen this time of year, AND they got four inches of snow. Plus, President OH-bama had to leave early to get back to D.C. to deal with one of the worst blizzards in recent history.
I guess I have to hand it to these guys. They do seem to be doing a bang up job of keeping the temperature down.Maybe they should hold the next conference in Death Valley.
As I'm sure you've figured out by now, I'm not a big fan of President OH-bama's, but I'm even less of a fan of the airlines. Earlier this week, the OH-bama administration ordered the airline industry to let passengers off planes if they are delayed on the runway for more than three hours. I think it's a good thing, but the media, who absolutely LOVES anything and everything this guy does, immediately hailed this as a "Christmas Miracle" A Christmas Miracle?? Now we're getting carried away. Beside, it doesn't go into effect for 120 days..............so enjoy those three months on the runway.
In addition, you are now entitled to a ticket refund if you have to sit next to A.) a crying baby, B.) a fat person, or C.) Joe Biden.Alright, I made that last part up.
