1. From NEWS of the WEIRD: Jorge Espinal, 44, was taken
to a hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, in May after an early-morning
incident in which he used a loaded handgun to
scratch a hard-to-reach itch on his back and accidentally shot himself. Hmm. The chances of alcohol or other intoxicants being involved? I'd say about 100%. But maybe he could run for Congress...
2. It's hard to believe but Congress actually has lower approval ratings than President Bush. I wholeheartedly agree. Both have low ratings since Bush's economy is in the pits and Congress is dysfunctional. But just to prove how out of touch Congress is with reality, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says it's the President's fault that Congress has low approval ratings. Hmm. Why does the movie Dumb and Dumber come to mind?
3. And speaking of dumber: Travis Henry tests positive again. Former Tennessee Vol and Titan Henry, who away from the football field has managed to father nine kids by nine different women, forfeited the rest of his five year, 22.5 million dollar contract when the Broncos cut him this spring. Duh...
4. But back to our Congressional wienies. The New Hampshire Union-Leader has a novel solution that I sort of like. Except I think we need to send both the GOP and Democrats to a basic economics class.
5. Meanwhile I still like this plan. At the very least it's showing leadership that doesn't exist anywhere else on the national level. Let's get the movement going.
