In NFL news this week, a trade between the Eagles and Lions was voided when doctor’s discovered a tumor in Jerome Harrison’s brain.

The NFL requires that all players involved in a trade undergo a physical, and it appears this policy saved the veteran running back’s life. Doctors say his chances are very good, but they were lucky to catch it as early as they did.

If they hadn’t, he would probably be dead right now. And they say playing football is bad for you! Read more →→→

I love how the Internet brings people together. Just yesterday, I saw a video from the “online dating service” http://www.E-HARMONY.com in which a very nice, articulate young lady shares her enjoyment of felines with the whole world.

Seeing that video reminded me of my own two wonderful kitty critters, Pally and Izzie. Boy have they been in some shenanigans lately. Read more →→→

 

The Obama Tax Hikes May Be Unfair To Millionaires

Everybody knows that the United States owes a lot of money to the Chinese.

President Barack Obama’s plan is to raise that money without having to cut spending by increasing taxes on millionaires and other super-wealthy Americans.

This seems like a fine idea at first, especially to those of us in Preble, who are regular everyday hardworking people and wouldn’t be affected by the taxes at all. But at the same time, is it possible that we’re giving millionaires the “short end of the stick”? Read more →→→

 

Bristol Palin is not a Homophobe

In case you haven’t been “Palin’” attention to the media these past couple days, the entertainment blogs are all a- “Twitter” about Bristol Palin’s recent run in with a drunk person in a bar. In the video of the incident, which we won’t post because of some “PG-13” language, the budding starlet gets very upset when a man shouts mean things about her mother.

In the heat of the moment, Bristol said some off-color words about the man’s sexual orientation. Now people are accusing her of being a “homophobe.” Let’s hear Bristol’s side of the story, after the jump! Read more →→→
