Here is the link to CNN.com where I first saw the article here http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/ and here http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/10/17/colbert.president.ap/index.html. I can't say that I'd vote for him, but it is rather comical to read about. What do you think about this? Joke or Real?"

Basically, a senator from Nebraska wanted to prove how frivolous many lawsuits are. As if we didn't know already. This is not only funny, but quite sad, that this senator feels like he needs to prove this with further wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars."

While I don't really like Prince's music, I am impressed by his bold step forward to provide a little Fan Appreciation. LONDON, England (AP) — Prince has angered the music industry and stirred up trouble among British retailers by giving away his new album with a tabloid newspaper this weekend. Prince's new album "Planet Earth" will be packaged with a British Sunday newspaper this weekend. "Planet Earth" will be packaged with the Mail on Sunday at a price of $2.80. The giveaway has been roundly criticized as a major blow for an industry already facing rapidly declining CD sales. It has led Sony BMG UK, Prince's local label, to pull the plug on its own sales release of the CD in Britain. International sales launch for "Planet Earth" is July 16; the U.S. launch is July 24. ... The full artile is here at CNN.com: http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/07/13/prince .newspaper.ap/index.html"

I remember the day I created a 3 inch in diameter ball of knotted hair on the top of my head from a powerful pumb. Some of you may have seen the story about the little girl who was disemboweled by a pool filtration system. Here: http://www.twincities.com/allheadlines/ci_6293513? nclick_check=1 I am curious to know if there is the ability to create better systems with sensors that would shut down so that accidents like this don't happen. Here are some other articles that talk about this problem. http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=&q=Girl+dise mboweled+in+pool+&btnG=Search+News"
