It's In The News

Just when you think there could be nothing scarier than the Octomom and her addiction to irresponsible breeding, comes news that Anne Heche has given birth to another child. Having left the man she hooked up with after breaking up with Ellen DeGeneres, Heche is now with James Tupper, her newest "long term" relationship. Apparently, Tupper is the father, unless someone from Heche's home planet files suit for a paternity test. *** And if this isn't the best example of how living well is the best revenge, in the wake of the former Heche/DeGeneres relationship, on today's Ellen show, she will be interviewing her wife, Portia de Rossi, who debuts in her own new sitcom later this week. ***
Bringing into question, the apparent de-evolution of my fellow man, is an article from last week's Sacramento News & Review. The regular segment, Streetalk, asked a group of average joes and janes, the same question. "What are you superstitious about?" was answered by Mark - Video store employee, with "I have something about fog. Whenever fog comes out, I become a little more cautious than usual." That's not superstitious you idiot, it's called driving safely. Talking about driving, one of the other answers came from Lexy - a student, who replied "Bad omens really stick out to me. One night, I was driving with friends, and we were supposed to make a turn. We had noticed in the turn lane there was an abandoned car with nobody in it, so I was pretty freaked out." Abandoned cars freak her out? Has this girl never driven through Bakersfield? Then, the wacko award winner was Susie Q - Clerk who stated "I have no idea why, but ever since my grandmother died a few yeas ago, I started finding dimes wherever I went. Maybe she's sending me a sign. or some extra change, but they're always there." OK. That's ridiculous! Everybody knows that the spirit world leaves signs with quarters. ***
