News Roundup

Bob Dylan says modern music is worthless. But what about the Wallflowers?


Meanwhile, the Pope says take a goshdarned vacation, already.

OK! You don't have to tell me twice, ol Pontif old guy!

This Kid Really Takes the CAKE

I wish I'd thought of this, since I love the News Hour SO MUCH.

There's this kid who loves the News Hour even more so much that he wanted a News Hour-themed birthday party.

Can you believe his gumption? His forsight? His ability to party down?

It just gets cuter: The News Hour staff heard about this kid, who like, can't go to sleep without listening to the NH podcast, all signed his birthday card for him. Look at his tiny little Jim Lehrer bday party hat. Classic! And there's the whole happy gang on his cake.

I just blogged to say...

that I think Cinnamon gum smells like Christmas time.

Doesn't that make you feel all warm and snuggly!

Christmas!

Try it on your own:

When you're down and you have a list of endless, boring tasks in front of you, whip out a nice slice of cinnamon gum. MMMMM! It's like the holly's hocked and the lights are all a-twinkle all at once. Immediately!

I've spoken to the bear's owner and he is not very pleased at all

Guess what one half of team P.A.N.D.A. told me.

It seems that someone in charge at a Children's Museum in England decided to hire a dog as a security guard... to the complete peril of the items he was responsible for securing.

Security guard Barney has destroyed a collection of rare teddy bears worth over $900,000, including one that was once owned by America's Elvis Presley.

Whoever hires a dog to watch teddy bears should expect a mauling.

I wonder how it all started. Did one fall off the shelf and startle Barney? Had Barney been planning this all along, for months?

You know, they're calling it a massacre.

Reporters have such a wry sense of humor.



A security guard at the museum, Greg West, said he spent several minutes chasing Barney before wrestling the dog to the ground.



I think he's sorry.

Will this stop the museum from hiring other dogs? From dog discrimination?

Apparently, no:

"We have asked the security firm not to send us that dog again," Mr Medley said. "I really don't want to see anything bigger than a Jack Russell."
