Another sad note: The comic strip, "Annie", probably better known as "Little Orphan Annie", is no more. Facing a shifting of media landscape, the shrinking and closing of newspapers, a dwindling audience for comic adventures, and an explosion of new forms of entertainment, Tribune Media Services decided to pull the plug on Annie. The comic strip ended this weekend. Annie herself would probably be shedding a tear or two over this but...........

An Ohio woman has been jailed for calling the 911 emergency line five times in one hour complaining that she couldn't find a husband. The 911 dispatcher couldn't believe it and asked 57 year-old Audrey Scott, "Let me get this straight. You keep calling 911 because you can't find a husband?" Scott's response was "Yes". She was arrested for mis-using the 911 emergency line, a class-four misdemeanor, and as a result, she spent four days in jail. Unfortunately for her, they put her in a women's prison, so she didn't get to meet any men there either.

For more than two decades, pork has been known as "The Other White Meat". Now, industry insiders think it's time pork got a new slogan. The National Pork Board (yes, there actually is such a thing) plans to replace the current slogan with something that will pick up sagging pork sales. While chicken sales have soared over the last few years, the Pork Board says people just aren't eating as much pork. Ceci Snyder, the board's vice-president of marketing says they will launch their new slogan in March, 2011, although at this point, they're not sure what it will be.

How about this:

"PIGS.......THE ONLY ANIMAL MADE OUT OF BACON"

Pretty good, huh? This is why I should be in management instead of doing what I'm doing, because I am CONSTANTLY coming up with great ideas like this.

To be honest with you......personally......I find it hard to believe that Americans aren't getting enough pork.
