Improvements
"Food & Wine" magazine asked readers for their thoughts on new devices to help them out in the kitchen. One suggestion was a reverse microwave that instantly freezes food. It sounds like a good idea, but why? A freezer still works.
Another suggestion was a solar-powered barbecue. Arizona on their hot summer days already has something like this - it's called pavement.
Another suggestion was a vodka dispenser built into a refrigerator door. I wonder about the person who wants this dispenser: Just how lazy or drunk are you on planning to get.
Unusual
David Blaine was submerged in a water-filled sphere on the stage of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" during a live broadcast on Wednesday and held his breath for 17 minutes, 4 seconds. That beat the previous record of 16 minutes, 32 seconds, set in February by Switzerland's Peter Colat. This should be considered a water-sport in the 2008 Olympics.
Jinxed
President Bush congratulated the New York Giants this week for winning the Super Bowl. But, in a reference to his home state Dallas Cowboys losing to the Giants in the playoffs after Dallas quarterback Tony Romo was supposedly distracted by his famous girlfriend, Bush said, "We're going to send Jessica Simpson to the Democratic National Convention." I don't think the Democrats need jinxed; they are already good at messing things up on their own.
Thanks
According to a newly released poll, Hillary Clinton has a better chance than Barack Obama of beating John McCain. Hillary thanks you so much Reverend Wright.
Better
Barack Obama has angrily denounced his former pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright for "divisive and destructive" remarks on race. Obama told reporters at a news conference on Tuesday, "I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened over the spectacle that we saw (this week)."... You must admit that I have become a much better preacher for this week.
Finish
Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean says that either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama must drop out of the Democratic presidential race after June primaries in order to unify the party by the convention and win the election in November. I don't know about Barack, but I know that Hillary is never going to stop.
Harmful
A Connecticut woman is suing her husband for poking her eye out in a carrot attack. Pamela Vecsey and her husband were arguing when he threw a carrot at her from about 20 feet away, striking her in the left eye. I am pretty sure but this is the first time in history when a carrot was harmful to an eye.
Solution
Holding a press conference this week to talk about the economy, especially about food and energy prices, President Bush said that Congress is blocking his proposals to deal with high gas prices. Why don't we open the flood gates on Iraq's oil, I think we have earned it.
Attendance
Fans waited all night to be the first to buy Grand Theft Auto IV this week. And I wonder, "Why can't we get teenagers this enthusiasm for a church service?"
