10 Stories .... 12/12/2008

Good evening.

I hope everyone read the previous post regarding the crazy so-called religious group Westboro Baptist Church.  Even though, most people don't understand why they do what they do, it shows however (in a really weird, twisted and mean way) that free speech is still allowed.  I just hope that the majority of Americans believe that this is not the way to do it though.

Now, onto this evening's 10:

Story 1 ...
It is something else when a 5-year-old saves someone's life.  But that happing twice?  Details from KNSD-TV San Diego, CA.

Story 2 ...
For those who believe in God but not are really religious like me, this might scare you just a little.  The famous doll company Mattel, has made a toll that does nothing but spout out religious phrase after phrase.  Perhaps this holiday doll is what Fred Phelps and his flock should really need for the holidays, eh?  Story from KTBC-TV Austin, TX.

Story 3 ...
Kids say the darnedest things right?  Well, now they do the darnedest things too.  Looks like 5th graders helped made a senior citizens Christmas a little better.  Details from KOAM-TV Pittsburg, KS.

Story 4 ...
In a weird story, a 11 year old boy shot his 8 year old brother after they were playing 'gangster'.  Who's to thank for this?  50 Cent, or Jay-Z??  Details from WMC-TV Memphis, TN.

Story 5 ...
Yeah, we have heard of pizza delivery men and women ..... but ones that sing?  That's right, one delivery person for Papa John's is really in the holiday.  Details from KXAS-TV Fort Worth, TX.

Story 6 ..
Looks like 4 day packages for tickets to the swearing in for the president, and the parade and the balls, will cost you up to $50G's .... Details from Detroit Free Press Detroit, MI.

Story 7 ...
It only took 19 times to drive with a suspended license for this criminal to go to jail.  My only question is why did it take that long?  Story from Lebanon Daily News, Lebanon, PA.

Story 8 ...
This story documents some of the most stupid parents alive.  Police were tipped about a couple who brought their young child to the bar, and then the parents got drunk.  And their young child was a BABY.  Story from Oshkosh Northwestern, Oshkosh, WI.

Story 9 ...
Talk about a typo.  A man pays $9,600 for a $96 roofing job.  Story and details from Omaha World-Herald, Omaha, NE.

Story 10 ...
And finally, a odd choice to host this year's Oscar's .... Hugh Jackman.  He was in the X-Men movies.  Story from The New York Times, New York, NY.

Tomorrow's posting should come in the late afternoon Saturday.  Have a great evening.  Time for the weekend!
