Recession
According to a new poll, 61 percent of the public believes the economy is now going through its first recession since 2001. It's a recession if you're out of work and can't pay your bills. It's a depression, when you are living in your car.
Valentine's Day
In honor of Valentine's Day, a Charleston, West Virginia, radio station gave away a free divorce to one listener. And what a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day by giving your partner divorce papers.
Anger
Major league pitcher Roger Clemens testified before Congress denying he had ever taken steroids. I am just glad that he didn't throw a bat and kick dirt into their faces.
Disrespectful
A cosmetics line that features the slogan "Looking Good for Jesus" has been pulled from store shelves in Singapore after some Roman Catholics complained the items were disrespectful. I wish more people would "Look Good for Jesus" with their actions.
Water
A new study predicts that Lake Mead, a key source of water for more than 22 million people in Southwest, will be dry by 2021 if warming continues and water use is not curtailed. So enjoy the "Dancing Waters" of Las Vegas while you still can.
Wreck
The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile spun out this week on a snow-covered Pennsylvania road. None of the occupants of the 27-foot-long tube-steak was seriously hurt. I did hear that the driver bruised his buns. I wouldn't Relish the thought of crashing the Wienermobile, but I'd Mustard the courage to call my boss and be Frank with him about what happened. Apparently, the driver was trying some Hot Dog moves.
Uneducated
According to a survey, two-thirds of Americans interviewed could not name their Congressional representatives. But I bet two-thirds can name the entire cast of "Seinfeld."
Wish
The writers' strike is over and president race is in full swing. Sometimes, I wish it were the Presidential candidates' speechwriters who'd gone on strike.
Resolution
It looks like the Hollywood writers' strike is over, as a resolution in the three-month-old work stoppage has been agreed to by guild leaders. Finally, Jay Leno and the other Late Night Talk Show hosts won't have to write their whole 18 minute monologues; I think they were getting to the point of doing knock-knock jokes.
Losing
Members of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign are said to be extremely concerned about the momentum of the Obama campaign ahead of the March and April primaries that Clinton was expected to win. They are concerned over Barack momentum. It looks as if the New York Giants football team playing against some high school.
Hillary Clinton lost a lot of primaries, but she is calling her supporters to let them know her campaign is not in financial trouble. It was still suggested that she raise more money and to call some Democrats with financial-backing, so she called Barack Obama.
