Below are some of the more interesting stories our eyes and ears are subjected to this week. I gotta tell ya, it might be cold outside but TV sucks and the news ain’t all that entertaining but if you take a few minutes you can see some humor in the recent batch of “are you kidding me?
SMOKING BAN VOTED DOWN
When I first heard about this proposal and it was tried last year too, I kind of smiled and thought this is dumb. But damn it they didn’t present it again this year. Now what was proposed was a smoking ban in city parks, playgrounds, athletic fields and beaches. And as it was last year it was voted down and the reason: Most of the councilors said they would not support the ban because it would be a virtually unenforceable ordinance. Ya think! However this council is not without recourse and they agreed to put up signs at the entrances RECOMMENDING visitors not smoke. Are you kidding me?
Woman gives birth to octuplets in California hospital
Okay, I admit it, I had to look up that word to be sure I had it right – in case you don’t wish to take the time, no worries, it means EIGHT. Can you imagine, giving birth to 8 kids – holy sheet and within five minutes – and guess what, the mother plans to breast feed all 8 – that’s a lot of breast milk and another Are you kidding me comments!
Prince Harry and Girlfriend Split
Well, I for one can sleep better knowing this five year romance is over but is it? No royal decree about this so called “we’re done” report so who in hell knows. So Harry me boy, go fly your helicopter and Chelsy, go back to Law School – and yes, the world still rotates – lovely!
Impeachment trial to proceed without governor
Springfield: On the day Illinois lawmakers launch the impeachment trial that could remove him from office; Governor Rod Blagojevich will not be in the capitol building defending himself. Instead, he'll be trying to influence public opinion with television appearances. Oh this is gonna be a fun story to watch – mark my words!
AUSTRALAIN TENNIS OPEN
Yes, of course it is still happening – into the second week and things are heating up or to say the least, changing like crazy. Some players have given in to the heat and injuries and retired as they could not continue with their matches. That makes it somewhat awkward for the opponent but also moves them into the next round. For the first time in many years, Andy Roddick is into the quarter finals. He really looks good this year, lost 15 pounds, is faster around the court and maybe, maybe just maybe he has listened to folks who have said he needed to mix up his game and become less predictable. Of course Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal are still going strong and fun to watch. I predict it will be Roger and Rafa in the final showdown and this year, Rafa will get the Australian title.
As more things come along that fit into the “are you kidding me” status I shall happily share them with you. As for me, I’m headed outside to snowshoe for an hour or so. I gotta get in my morning workout so I can have my afternoon nap.
Why does “slim chance,” and “fat chance” mean the same thing?
My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely!

I just heard on the News that the woman who had the Octuplets already had 6 kids! WTF??!!
Unbelievable! :0/
Are you kidding me, she has six other kids in addition to the 8 she just had? Holy sheet, this woman needs more than an orange in the bedroom, eh?
Hey, better her than us, right?
I just hope she's independantly wealthy & isn't planning to collect welfare!
I also heard on the news she lives in a two bedroom house! (I'm thinking she WILL be a burden on the tax-payers!) :0/
