Leave to the land down unda' to have a 110lbs natural solution to celeb (and celeb wannabe's) yippy, living, arm candy.

Some clever bar owners have discovered that by having "theater nights," they can get around those silly smoking bans. How does it work? In many states, theaters are permitted to have their actors smoke during a performance if the role calls for it. These industrious bar owners have a "theater night" and declare that ALL bar patrons are actors that night.

Gotta love it when people stand up to the Nanny state. WAAAAaaaa! My clothes smell like smoke after I struck out at the bar!

During his failed Presidential Campaign, Chris Dodd proposed "Mandatory Volunteerism." Basically, he's saying that in order to graduate from high school, a kid would have to participate in 100 hours of community service. I think it's a FANTASTIC idea. Making kids paint houses and put up fences will help them value their hometown AS WELL as provide free slave labor reduced manning costs to the local community.

Naturally, there should be one exemption: A kid who earns Eagle Scout (or the less impressive Gold Award Scout) should qualify whether or not he/she has attained the 100 hour mark as their contribution goes above and beyond most community service.

Of course, I also agree with the citizenship concepts of Starship Troopers (you have to do a term of Federal Service to become a voting citizen - ANY federal service: postal service, street cleaner, soldier, sailor, etc.).

Dementors were scared off by a ghostly white stag in the Scottish Highlands.

In an attempt to claim access to more water sources, Georgia is attempting to reclaim land from Tennessee based on an 1818 survey. Boss Hog frantically scheming to convert Uncle Jessie's land into a water refinery...if not for those darned Duke boys!

Wachovia is being sued for allowing telemarketers to draw fraudulently unsigned checks from other Wachovia customers. Wachovia pubically claimed it had no idea and blah blah. Whoops...too bad they didn't follow White House guidelines and delete the email discussion that showed not only their awareness of it but also how profitable the fraud was for the bank.

Leave it to the progressive state of Mississippi to try and help obese people lose weight. They are currently debating a law that would prohibit restaurants from serving people with a BMI of 30 or more. Kinda like bar rules where you can't serve someone who is drunk, restaurants wouldn't be allowed to serve someone who already has eaten their fill (for the year).
