....something more to worry about

Health officials alarmed at cancer rates in our modern age: According to numbers released today, the number of cancer survivors in the United States is increasing by hundreds of thousands a year, and now includes roughly one in 20 adults..

The Hamster Killing

Brooklyn teen charged with killing pet hampster.. Monique Smith, 19, is charged with one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals for allegedly killing the 4-ounce hamster during a family dispute..
And if convicted, the teen could also face two years in prison..

Perhaps a good punishment, without any flippancy intended, would be for the teen to run in a steel wheel for hours on end, only being supplied water and bread crumbs?

The battle for the box office

Box office this weekend: The battle for LA tops? A UFO sighting that inspired the new flick written about..
Aliens take to the box office..
A review: “Immitation”..
Review: The big what if..
This week at the box: BATTLE: LOS ANGELES expected to pound contender MARS NEEDS MOMS.. Because Mars may need moms, but big box office budget busting techniegraphic flicks need disaster, UFO invasions, and a city being destroyed. And this weekend, the box office will get it.

Debate on Congress goes to the toilet. No really, it does. Rand Paul wants the government out of our toilets.

Good evening everyone..

Eva Braun, captured in time.. Never captured in life:

Rare photos of Hitler’s wife surface

The more things change, the more they stay the same.. A decade ago we were watching Seinfeld on Thursday night while Gadhafi ruled with an iron fist. And now, Seinfeld is gone.. but Gadhafi still rules with an iron fist

Rainy days and Thursdays always get me down..
I actually recall Thursday night TV back in the heyday of NBC sictomland of the late 1990s.. Seinfeld at 9.. (Friends at 8, but I never watched).. and if you cared to take it, ER was still on at 10 before your late local news..
The only constant in life is the late local news after all—fires, floods, ravages of nature, and stabbings. And that’s before weather 15 after and sports before JAY..

Now the new modern age is filled with ‘days of rage’ and gas prices sky high.. When Seinfeld was on, I remember gassing up the car to get to high school for the minor price of $.99 a gallon.. Times change indeed. Hurricane Katrina, OPEC, and lots of Middle Eastern skirmishes later, and the powers that be were able to call it a day on low prices..

Our modern life is filled with union vs non union.. peace vs war..

But the constant still appears to be one person: Moummar Gadhafi — and no one STILL knows how to spell his name..
