Prediction Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney was convicted in March for lying and obstructing an investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity. He was supposed to serve a 30 months prison sentence, but President Bush commuted him last week. I could have prophesied this one. Problem Manatees are being blamed for major traffic problems along Florida's Melbourne Causeway. It's mating season for the mammals. Every year they gather in packs in the area. I just thought you would like to know this if you are going to Florida for a vacation. Inflation In a strange side effect of the food chain, the increased demand for ethanol fuel appears to be driving up the cost of pizza. The demand for ethanol had increased the cost of corn, a staple food for dairy cows. That drives up milk prices, which pushes up the cost of cheese. Sadly, for pizza lovers, this makes pizza cost more. But I guess it all works out because ethanol reduces the cost of gasoline which makes the pizza delivery guy happy. Movies Michael Moore says "Borat" creator Sasha Baron Cohen gave him the inspiration he needed to sail into the mined waters of Guantanamo Bay as part of his new film, "Sicko." It was after Cohen told Moore he had drawn inspiration from his documentaries, in which Moore pursues corporate and political leaders and puts himself into uncomfortable situations, that Moore decided, "if he says I was an inspiration for those things, then I have to up the ante for him." But I just don't think "Sicko" is going to have the high laugh quotient of "Borat," especially for people in the medical profession. It sad to say but today's children are learning the Noah's Ark story from the movie: Evan Almighty. The "Transformers" movie opened on July 4. It's about giant robots that destroy things. I guess that Oscar season is finally upon us. You can keep "Gone with the Wind" and "Citizen Kane." This movie would win an Oscar if little children could vote. Lying During her interview with Larry King last week on CNN, Paris Hilton told King that while locked up she bought a Bible from the jail commissary and read it daily. When asked by the host to name her favorite passage, she looked away and said, "I don't have a favorite." How about the ten commandment passage about "Thou shall not lie." Contest A 2-year-old Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix dog named Elwood from New Jersey has been crowned the world's ugliest dog. They have a contest for everything. Why don't we have a contest for the best-looking Christian in our church? I vote for (Pick out a well-dressed man.) Joey Chestnut won the Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest at Nathan's Famous at New York's Coney Island. Chestnut, 23, of San Jose, shattered the record held by Takeru Kobayashi of Japan by downing 59 1/2 hot dogs and buns. How come most of the professional eaters look so thin? I eat one-half of a cookie and gain a pound. Quote this article on your site | Views: 250 | Print | E-mail
