The News About Jimmy Fallon And Late Night


It looks like “Saturday Night Live” alumni, Jimmy Fallon will be replacing Conan O’ Brien on “Late Night”. After months of speculation, the deal has been sealed. Conan will be replacing Jay Leno when he steps down from the “Tonight Show” next year and that’s when Jimmy Fallon will take the “Late Night” spot.

Conan O’brien was also a “Saturday Night Live” alumnus although more as a writer than an on screen personality. However he did make a few on screen appearances. Jimmy Fallon a popular cast member on “Saturday Night Live”, we’ll see if that popularity transfers over to his “late Night” hosting.

The News About Bear Killing Trainer

I have always said that animals don’t mess with me and I’m not going to mess with. I don’t even have a pet. You never know when an animal will turn on you. You hear about it all the time. Pet turns on its owner, the Zigfried and Roy lion incident. Wild good pets go wild and incidents of trained animals that were obedient years suddenly killing someone.

Case in point, the grizzly bear that wrestled Will Ferrell in the film "Semi-Pro" killed one of its trainers. They say the bear was following its cues and then suddenly attacked the trainer killing him with a bite on the neck. Pepper spray was used to subdue and contain the bear, and there were no other injuries.

The bear whose name is Rocky was part of the Randy Miller Training Center. Randy Miller, who has been training animals for 25 years and whose facility has had a perfect safety record, had said that Rocky "the best working bear in the business".

This proves my point that you never know when or if an animal is going to turn on you. If they’re not messing with you don’t mess with them.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About Catholics Wanting Bill Maher Fired


Bill Maher has always been a controversial TV host even when he hosted “Politically Incorrect” the late night show that started on Comedy Central in 1993 and later moved to ABC in 1997. He remained controversial on his new show "Real Time With Bill Maher", airs on HBO where he tackles tough issues with his usual brand of sarcastic humor.

Well, now it seems that Bill Maher has pissed off the Catholics with remarks he made about Catholicism being a cult and that it promotes organized pedophilia. Maher also said that the Pope used to be a Nazi. Needless to say this got Catholics all fired up.

Bill Maher further angered Catholics when he announced he would apologize on Friday nights show, but not only didn’t apologize, but further stepped up his insult of the Pope.

The American Life League is calling for a unified effort among Catholics to cancel HBO subscriptions and demand that Bill Maher be fired. They have even created a website at www.FireBillMaher.com, which has the offending video clip of Bill Maher's rant, calling the Pope a "Nazi" and "the leader of a pedophile cult", a petition to fire Bill Maher, a call for HBO subscribers to cancel their subscriptions until Maher is fired, and a summary of Maher's history of anti-Catholic hate-speeches.

I have always been a fan of Bill Maher and will remain so. I like his brand of humor and the way he tells it like it is. Bill Maher has done nothing but told the truth here with the exception that the Pope use to be a Nazi, I don’t know about that. It is obvious the Catholic Church is full of pedophiles just look at the resent incident in Texas.

Bill Maher has the platform to voice his opinion and he does it bluntly without pulling punches and the Catholic Church wants to shut him up for telling the truth.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About 5.4 Midwest Earthquake

The Midwest was rocked this morning by an earthquake that registered a 5.4 magnitude. The earthquake centered 6 miles from West Salem, Illinois, and 66 miles from Evansville, Indiana and was felt in as far away as Cincinnati in my home state of Ohio, Milwaukee, and Des Moines, Iowa, 450 miles northwest of the epicenter. There have been no early reports of injuries or significant damage.

The quake also shook tall buildings in downtown Indianapolis, about 160 miles northeast of the epicenter. The U.S. Geological Survey said that earthquakes occur irregularly in the area, and that the largest historical earthquake in the region, also a magnitude 5.4, caused damage in southern Illinois in 1968.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About The Dash Diet

Studies show that the diet that was supposed to help lower a person's blood pressure can actually reduce their risk of heart attacks and stroke. Researchers who studied the dining habits of almost 89,000 women over a period of 24 years have concluded that those who routinely stayed close to the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension ) were at significantly less risk for heart attacks and stroke than the women in the study who deviated the most from the DASH guidelines.

Women who were non-smokers, exercised and had an overall healthy lifestyle were the healthiest. One of the researchers said "Our study provides, to our knowledge, the strongest evidence to date on the long-term benefits of the DASH diet in the primary prevention of CVD among healthy subjects".

The DASH diet is many a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and low in fat

The News About The Nude Image In Dick Chaney’s Sunglasses


I have seen some post online about an image that appears on in the sunglasses of Vice President Dick Chaney’s sunglasses. A photograph on the White House website show Chaney who is supposed to be fly-fishing on the Snake River in Idaho. Well, the reflection in his sunglasses shows an image that many have been speculating as a nude woman.

The White House is saying that the image is of a hand casting a fishing rod. To me it looks like the image in the sunglasses is a different scene from where Vice President Dick Chaney is. You be the judge.



That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About Cheerleader Beating

In my day of being a high schooler being a cheerleader made you popular, apparent these days it’s different. High school cheerleader, Victoria Lindsay was brutally beaten by 6 girls ranging from age 14 to 18. Two boys kept look outside while the girls beat Victoria Lindsay who is 16. At one point Lindsay was even knocked unconscious.

The girls doing the beating even video taped it to put on the Internet. Below is that video.



These dumb ass girls were to stupid to realize that this was a crime and the they were video taping evidence against themselves. The girls showing no remorse what so ever even joked about the beating while in jail one asking if she would be able to make it to cheerleading practice the next day, while several others joked that they wouldn't be making it back to the beach anytime soon.

I hope these girls and the two boys get several years in jail and are shown what a beat down is really like.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

Hilary Clinton who is looking toward the primary in Pennsylvania on April 22 and doesn’t want to linked to anything supporting the trade agreement. Voters in Pennsylvania connect foreign trade with the loss of jobs in their state and in the country.

Hilary needs this win in order to pull her campaign out of the dumps and I’m sure she hopes that the resignation of Mark Penn will give her a better chance.

The News About ATA Airlines Out Of Business

If you were planning to use ATA Airlines for your next trip forget it. ATA Airlines filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy yesterday and announced that they were ceasing operations as of 10 p.m. Hawaii time. ATA sights high fuel costs and too much competition as the reason for filing the bankruptcy.

After hearing ATA Airlines' decision, Southwest Airlines, a codeshare partner, immediately implemented a plan to take care of all customers who purchased a ticket on Southwest and are scheduled to travel on ATA service by rebooking them on a new itinerary closest to their previous travel plans, or offering a full refund for any unused portion of a ticket.

This is part of what ATA Airlines had to say.

"We apologize for the disruption caused by the sudden shutdown of ATA and regret the impact on passengers, employees, suppliers, and other parties. ATA customers should seek alternative arrangements for current and future travel. A list of other airlines serving ATA's destinations is available here.

ATA currently is unable to provide refunds to customers who purchased tickets directly from ATA with cash or a check. These customers may be able to obtain a full or partial refund for their unused tickets by submitting a claim in ATA's Chapter 11 proceedings. Information about submitting a claim will be available at the following website: http://www.bmcgroup.com/ataairlines.

"Customers who purchased tickets from Southwest Airlines for flights operated by ATA under the codeshare agreement should contact Southwest Airlines directly at (800) 308-5037".

Do you have a neighbor that’s giving you trouble or is just an all around bad neighbor? Well you can put them up on a new site called RottenNeighbor.com. RottenNeighbor.com allows you to put up the hated neighbor’s location on a Google Map and add a comment.

RottenNeighbor.com is not just for bad neighbors, you can also good neighbors and say good things about them. But you know it’s going to be mostly about the bad neighbors. I think this is only going to cause more trouble between neighbors. This kind of reminds me of another site, Don’tDateHimGirl.com.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.
