Stupidity
In Kokomo, Indiana, this week, a man carrying a semiautomatic handgun accidentally shot himself in the groin as he was robbing a convenience store. Sometimes crimes just solve themselves.

An irritated Las Vegas judge doubled OJ. Simpson's bail to $250,000 for violating terms of his original bail by attempting to contact a co-defendant in his armed robbery case. Sometimes I think he wants to find trouble.

Fear
Following the Dallas Cowboy's elimination from the NFL playoffs, Jessica Simpson is said to be steering clear from visiting the Lone Star State for the foreseeable future. She has been dating Dallas quarterback, Tony Romo and has been blamed by some Cowboy's fans for the loss of a game she attended earlier this season. Texans are very serious about their football; she better go into hiding until next season.

Prediction
Hillary Clinton was on the "Tyra Banks" show where Tyra asked her if she could be on a reality show, which reality show would she be on?  Hillary answered "Dancing with the Stars." And that just might happen come mid-November.

According to a study, actors who have won Oscars live almost four years longer than those who haven't won. And actors who have won multiple times live up to six years longer than those who have been nominated and never won. So I predict that Tom Hanks will live to be a hundred.

Wealth
Oprah Winfrey is getting her own TV network. As part of a deal with Discovery Communications announced this week, the Discovery Health network will be turned over to Winfrey next year, becoming OWN - the Oprah Winfrey Network - which also makes sense since she "owns" everything else.

Nike has plans to release the 23rd edition of its Air Jordan athletic shoes. The Air Jordan XX3 will initially be introduced as a limited edition to be sent to only 23 retailers and sold for $230. I don't want any of my children wearing a sneaker that has to have insurance.

Decision
Researchers in Great Britain say that thinking too hard about something may lead to bad decisions. Researchers at University College of London found subconscious snap decisions can be more accurate than those made after thinking things out. I don't know; I will have to think about it.

Immoral
A St. Louis-area town is considering a bill that would ban swearing in bars, along with inappropriate dancing, drinking contests and profane music. City officials in St. Charles, Missouri, say the bill is needed to keep rowdy crowds under control because the historic downtown area gets a little too lively on some nights. I think a better idea would be to make them attend church.

Message
The company that makes those iconic Valentine's Day heart candies with messages on them has come up with some new expressions. The New England Confectionery Company says its Sweethearts Conversation Hearts will now include phrases like "Melt My Heart," "In A Fog," "Chill Out," "Heat Wave," "Get My Drift," "Wild Life" and "Nature Lover." I also think they should have a phrase saying "Mark 3:16."
