In the News

There is so much insane stuff in the news, that this blog can longer remain silent. You may have heard or read about some of these things elsewhere, but in case you haven't, enjoy:

1. The new Disney movie Earth is out (it's a live-action documentary, not a cartoon), and reviews contain the following warning: "Contains brief frontal animal nudity." What? Animal nudity? In a live-action documentary about wild animals? Outrageous!

By the way, from what perspective is animal nudity considered to be "frontal"?

2. Appearing on Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck program last week, actor Craig T. Nelson, bemoaned the government policy of granting bailouts.

Nelson said, "They should be allowed to go bankrupt! What happened — we are a capitalistic society. OK, I go into business, I don't make it, I go bankrupt. They're not going to bail me out."

Then, he added, "I've been on food stamps and welfare. Anybody help me out? No. No."

Congratulations, Mr. Nelson, on finding a way to obtain food stamps and welfare without receiving any government assistance. If you can share this secret, we may have found the key to financial recovery.

3. And, finally, the Tony Awards were last night. I didn't watch them, but the winner in the category of Best Direction should have been "West".

Runner up, "Southeast."
