December 14th, 2010...the day that shall be known as "Hollywood D-Day". Seriously...there were THREE, yes THREE Hollywood divorces announced today! Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall from "Dexter" and Dylan Walsh from "Nip/Tuck"! At least Hulk Hogan got married for the 2nd time today so all of us can breathe easier and know that marriage can work. *insert sarcastic laughing*
The Good:
"Bon Jovi...a Politician" - Well, not really, but it was announced today that President Obama tapped Jon Bon Jovi (a very hot man, if I do say so myself) as a member of the newly formed White House Council for Community Solutions. Shout out to Obama for THAT pick!
"My Two Dads" - I am loving this - Scientists announced today that they have genetically used stem cells to produce off spring from two male mice! Technology totally amazes me! They say they could use this for the oh so practical ways of saving endangered animals and allowing a same-sex couple to have their own genetic children.
The Bad:
"School Board Shooting" - A gunman, Clay Duke, took control of a school board meeting today in Panama City, Florida. According to reports, once it was his time to speak, he took a can of red spray paint, sprayed a "V" within a circle, and ranted about his wife getting fired from the school district and sales taxes. He then let the women leave an kept the men in the room. He was eventually shot by the chief of security for the school system, then gave himself a fatal shot. Very scary, and very thankful all are OK.
"Sacramento Shooting" - Two shootings today unfortunately. The 2nd victim was a mother in Sacramento, CA who was shot as she was loading her son into her car in a parking lot at a strip mall. Though the bullet was not meant for her, it was an extremely tragic and unnecessary death. Five other people were hurt when a shoot out started in a barber shop at the mall.
Not a fan of guns at all and this is definitely one of the reasons why.
The Ugly:
"Eat it FIFA!" - So in a news conference today FIFA Chief Sepp Blatter responded to the question on how he would advise same-sex couples to act while attending the World Cup in 2022 in Qatar. (Same-sex relationships are currently illegal in Qatar.) His response? "I would say that they should refrain from sexual activities". Seriously Sepp??? Would you say that to a heterosexual couple? We have over 11 years before this event happens. Not only is there the possibility this could be a non-issue at that point, but that comment is offensive, archaic and totally inappropriate in my opinion.
"The Winn-Dixie Warrior"- Shoppers at Winn-Dixie be on the lookout while you do your shopping! A man, who was riding one of those motorized shopping carts, led police on a slow-speed chase through a parking lot at Winn-Dixie in Palm Beach, FL. He apparently stole some meat and ran over a girls toe during his wild escape. He was apprehended by police in the parking lot and is quoted as saying "I ain't no punk, and I ain't going down without a fight". His getaway cart clocks in at about 3mph...
Don't forget! There is still time to order your Tea Party coloring book! $4.99 at amazon.com. I may order one myself as a fire starter...those fire starter logs are $10 for a 3 pack!
