Barack Obama won big this week in North Carolina presidential primary, while Hillary Clinton eked out a 51-49 percent win in the Indiana primary. Hillary vows not to stop campaigning and wants a redo in Michigan, Florida and all the other 48 states.

Upset
I think Hillary Clinton is drinking a lot more boilermakers - but this time she's not doing it to win votes.

Refused
About a dozen, elderly Indiana nuns were turned away on Tuesday from a polling place by a fellow sister because they didn't have state or federal photo IDs. The fellow sister said that they should have known better and told them to say a hundred Hail Marys.

Fired
A substitute teacher at Rushe Middle School in Land O' Lakes, Florida has been fired for allegedly practicing wizardry. The teacher does a trick in which a toothpick disappears and then reappears. He showed it to some students and it got him in trouble. Back in my day, it would have been entertainment and we would have called it a magic trick.

Fined
China has opened the world's longest, cross-sea bridge - measuring 22.4 miles over Hangzhou Bay - in an effort to cut travel time between two major ports, but hundreds of drivers have been fined already for driving too slowly to enjoy the view. The trip takes just as long but now the trip is a lot more scenic.

Sports
Last week at a campaign stop in Indiana, Barack Obama lost a game of pick-up basketball to a 14-year-old. Barack can't bowl to well either.

Criticism
Country artist John Rich is being critical of "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul for her lack of attentiveness during a recent episode. Rich says, '"American Idol' infuriates me as an artist. When you can't make a cognizant comment about someone's performance and you're commenting on something that happened the day before, why don't you just walk up onstage and slap them right across the face while you're at it?"... I agree but on the other hand, their ratings are through the roof.

Sin City
According to "Newsweek," the formerly recession-proof city of Las Vegas has been hurt by the current economic downturn as gambling revenues and room rates are down and convention business is way off. I had a distant relative who went to Vegas one time in a 50-thousand dollar Lexus, and he came back on a hundred thousand dollar bus!

Holiday
Last Monday was the Cinco de Mayo. It is a holiday for Mexican people. Hilary Clinton was throwing back shots of tequila in order to get the Latino vote.

Obesity
According to a study on obesity, Germany is the most obese country in Europe. Well, I am sure that they are happy to rule the world at something.

Injuries
Nearly forty-thousand Americans are involved in nail gun injuries in the average year. Medical analysts say the numbers have grown, possibly because many "do-it-yourself" enthusiasts haven't been trained in the safe handling of the device. Among the die-hard-do-it-yourselfers, which I am one of: this is known as "Bob Vila's Revenge."
