Nine-year-old Sadie Vance and her seven-year-old sister Pyper, marched around downtown Salt Lake City this week chanting, "Lower the gas prices." The sisters decided to protest after losing their favorite cable TV channels when their mother had to sacrifice cable TV to pay for her daily commute. The whole world is saying the same thing, but the Saudis aren't listening.

GOD
An interesting study was released this week where people in California are less convinced there is a God than any other state in our country. On an unrelated note, in California, more than 800 wildfires are burning out of control.

COMFORT
Next year's group of celebrities to receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will include Hugh Jackman, Ben Kingsley, The Village People and Tinker Bell. But Cheeta, the 76-year-old animal actor, whose credits include the 1967 comedy "Doctor Dolittle" and the "Tarzan" movies, has been turned down for a star despite an online petition. Cheeta, however, is living comfortably in Palm Springs and doing a lot better than the Village People.

BURDEN
About 30 students from Connecticut's Rocky Hill High School carried a 1987 Camaro up three flights of steps at the school last week as their senior prank. Even minus the engine, transmission and interior, the vehicle, which was used in auto shop class, still weighed over 2,000 pounds. Couldn't they have done something much easier like Tee-Peeing a school tree.

Gas costs half as much in Mexico - 2 bucks a gallon, and a lot of Americans are flocking to Tijuanna to fill their tanks. If gas prices continue to go up, Americas will be illegally fleeing to Mexico.

SINFUL
Suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones - who has a long history of trouble with the law - no longer wants to be known as Pacman. The troubled pro football player explains, "There's really just a lot of negativity behind it. It's just time for a change, man.
