Anaheim, California, Weird Sheep & OH-bama, The Musical

The very difficult More's mystery this morning, as I suspected it would be. The answer was Anaheim, California, settled in the mid-1800s by German immigrants, and chosen by the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s as "a model klan city". In 1924, the Anaheim Klan secretly managed to get four of its members elected to the five-member Board of Trustees. Nine of the ten members of the police force were also Klansmen. The four Klan trustees served for nearly a year, until they were publicly exposed, and voted out in a recall election.

On Monday morning's show, More's Mystery will be looking for a comedian/actor/singer, who was adopted by his grandmother (wouldn't that make him his mother's brother?).

Some very bizarre science news out of Turkey this week: A sheep gave birth to a fetus that has a human-like face. A veterinarian in Turkey performed a Cesarean section on a sheep to take the calf out, but was horrified to see that the calf's snout bore a striking resemblance to a human face. The vet had this to say: “I’ve seen mutations with cows and sheep before. I’ve seen a one-eyed calf, a two-headed calf, a five-legged calf, but when I saw this youngster I could not believe my eyes."

This story has made international news and it could be a hoax. Here's the picture. You be the judge.

Is it possible for a sheep to be born with a human face? Well...........this IS Turkey we're talking about.............if you know what I mean.

Are you ready for "HOPE: THE OBAMA MUSICAL"? Yes, it's a new stage show and it's opening this weekend in Frankfurt, Germany. Thirty singers, dancers and actors will recreate OH-bama's 2008 "YES, WE CAN" presidential campaign in song. The show also includes a singing John McCain and Sarah Palin. Many of the lyrics to the songs in the show are taken directly from OH-bama's speeches, and the actor who portrays the OH-bama character gets to sing a love song to an actress portraying Michelle, and a duet with another actress who portrays Hillary Clinton.

I wonder if there's a French version called "YES, WE CAN-CAN"?

Here's a better question: I wonder if the lyrics to the songs are on a teleprompter?

Let's be serious.....if I wanted to go see a show that starts out with a lot of misplaced hope and then sinks fast, I'll go see "TITANIC: THE MUSICAL".
