And now, some commentary on the news.
So, what is UP with that guy who, like, destroyed his whole town with a bullet proof bulldozer and then shot himself!?!? Can we all make a pact that if we get mad about something really crappy that the town or industry does, like, oh I don't know, Boeing laying off a million people, or that whole Dysart Woods trainwreck, or Petland (ahem, Sarah) invading the happy once-less commercialized and more pet friendly zone of A-town...can we promise that even if we get really mad, we won't build anything dangerous in our garages and ride around in it destroying property...not will we purchase firearms with which to take out own lives. All in favor....
Now, Ray Charles. The man who brought to life, among other ever-resounding chart topping numbers, "Hit the Road Jack" which many a middle aged woman in tight jeans and high heels and holding a light beer spilling ever so slightly has danced to accompanied only by her friends of varying levels of frizzy hair and intoxication, before a cover band led by a white dude who couldn't name the song's origin or the middle name of his child's mother. Ray, we've gotta hand it to you for being eternally classy and perhaps THE father of at least one brand of coolness. And we're sorry that talentless saps bring shame to your culture-shaping music.
And lastly, as the Onion kindly reminded us this week, Nancy Reagan is 82 and finally available. Have at it boys.
