THIS JUST IN!

NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW OR NOT!

Ted Turner says he is about through buying up ranch land. He said he would like to reach 2 million acres nationwide before he dies — about 40,000 acres more than he currently owns.

Now he has room to bury his big head.

The fatal shooting, the 21st murder in New Orleans this year, occurred closely on the heels of a trying Carnival season for police, one in which four people were murdered and 12 others injured in shootings in the past five days, according to police records.

At this rate maybe they will kill themselves off. I know that is an unkind indictment of New Orleans, but they are killing themselves. Suicide is the ultimate failure.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Spending hours on a cell phone each day may affect the quality of a man's sperm, preliminary research suggests. In a study of 361 men seen at their infertility clinic, researchers at the Cleveland Clinic found an association between the patients' cell phone use and their sperm quality. On average, the more hours the men spent on their cell phones each day, the lower their sperm count and the greater their percentage of abnormal sperm.

WARNING: Don't call phone sex lines on your cell phone. It may cause infertility.

The President and Congress reach new lows in approval rating. One interviewee pretty much says it all.

"When I see them say they want to investigate Bill Belichick and Spygate, I say, 'Why do you want to investigate something like that when we have things we should address'" like the economy and health care, Mitch Dugger, 46, an independent from Mandeville, La., said.

Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., recently said the Senate Judiciary Committee may want to examine why the National Football League destroyed evidence in a scandal over cheating by Belichick, the New England Patriots' coach.

And you wonder why nothing happens on the real stuff. The threat to take away the monopoly exemption is trotted out everytime sports is in trouble. What we really need is the commissioner and union leader to be fired by the people who put them there. That won't hapen of course, the owners are too greedy and the players are too dumb.

From a SanDiego Union Tribune article and my comments on Clemens hearings.

"The ranking Republican acknowledged that they risked "criticism that they were grandstanding" Now where would someone get that idea? Maybe from delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, who powdered her face, applied lipstick, then asked Clemens: Mr. McNamee injected your wife with HGH in your master bedroom without your knowledge?"

I loved Representative Virginia Foxx breaking out pictures of Clemens in pitching mode. She admired them and then ask Clemens about his physical training routine. "You keep yourself in pretty good shape don't you Mr. Clemens?"

As ESPN reported,there is no such word as "misremembered". A word used by Clemens speaking of the Andy Pettite statement.

Pitchers and catchers report today. Let's get this behind us.

Oprah opened a store Chicago featuring her favorite things. You knew it was only a matter of time. How about feeling warm and fuzzy in an Oprah nightie (not sexy and flannel, I'll bet) and baby-soft socks to keep your callused feet warm, writing in your "Passion" journal while sipping hot tea from a mug emblazoned with one of Oprah's favorite quotes. "Live Your Own Dreams" is always a heart-warmer.

OH! PLEASE1 Oprah, have you no shame?

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate Ethics Committee said Wednesday that Idaho Sen. Larry Craig acted improperly in connection with a men's room sex sting last year and had brought discredit on the Senate.

WELL DUH!!!

"Mississippi legislators this week introduced a bill that would make it illegal for state-licensed restaurants to serve obese patrons. Bill No. 282 is the brainchild of three members of the state's House of Representatives, Republicans W. T. Mayhall, Jr. and John Read, and Democrat Bobby Shows. The bill, which is likely dead on arrival, proposes that the state's Department of Health establish weight criteria after consultation with Mississippi's Council on Obesity. It does not detail what penalties an eatery would face if its grub was served to someone with an excessive body mass index,"

These guys are probably skinny. They are certainly stupid. Where do we find these people. Oh yes, they are from Mississippi and they are politicians. Can anyone say BUBBA!?

Have a nice day!
