10 Stories ... 1/14/2009

Sorry about not posting 10 Stories last night. These early days are really getting to me now. But with me being off today, I have time and energy to do it now.

Before the 10 stories, how about American Idol last night? It's back and better than ever. Auditions were good, even though it seemed more spaced out than last year. However, it was good. And how about bikini girl? What a moment in Idol history. You think Ryan really got into the pool with her? Anyhow, good premiere. More tonight from Kansas City.

Now, time for today's 10.

1: After a horrific year for her family life, Jennifer Hudson finally has a bright break to come back in 2009. NFL has confirmed that she will be singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl, February 1st. 2nd year in a row, by the way, that an American Idol alum was chosen to sing it. Don't worry, I am sure she will not mangle it. Story from WJLA-TV Washington, DC.">WJLA-TV Washington, DC.

2:  A Pennsylvania couple will spend time before when they went on a spending spree when $175,000 was accidently put into their bank account.  Details from KTRV-TV Nampa, ID.

3:  Tampa, the home of this year's Super Bowl was named the most caffeinated city in America.  Kinda seems about right, eh?  Pepped up fans, caffeine pumping through their bodies.  Story from digg.com.

4:  Dallas Cowboys great Michael Irvin was a victim of a crime, in North Dallas.  Someone pulled a gun out on him.  And the thing that makes it even crazier ... they were Dallas Cowboys fans.  I expect Philadelphia Eagles fans to pull crap like this, not Cowboys fans.  Get real people.  Details from KDFW-TV Dallas, TX.

5:  The coldest air to hit the Susquehanana Valley in about 5 years is about to hit the midstate.  Story here from KCCI-TV Des Moines, IA helps your house and car weather this frigid air.

6:  A teenage mom is in some hot water after she left her newborn baby alone at home, and the baby was surfing the Internet.  Details on this stupid mom from WPXI-TV Pittsburgh, PA.

7:  Perhaps this story needs to wait til Sunday.  If it even happens.  But Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell made a Super Bowl bet .... with himself.  Story from WGAL-TV Lancaster, PA.

8:  Now a good American Idol 8 Season Premiere in review article from WPVI-TV Philadelphia, PA. They call idol 'first class karaoke'.  What a name.

9:  You heard of double parking, and you heard of road rage ... but now let's put snow-rage on the list.  In Chicago, some people think if you dig your spot out of the snow, and you move your car from that spot, that spot is yours.  Period.  The city disagrees, and so do I.  Story from WMAQ-TV Chicago, IL.

10:  And finally, before I end this 10 stories, how about a story about the place where I am about to go to.  Looks like the Farm Show is doing good business.  Especially that first-class food court.  Story from The Sentinel - Carlisle, PA.  

Have a great day.
