Moon This

Through the years there have been great feuds, Hatfields and McCoys, Leno and Letterman, Barnes and Noble, macaroni and cheese to name a few, and I have the feeling the eclipse of the full moon early Tuesday morning really heated up the rivalry between werewolves and vampires.  The werewolves were hung up with do I change or not? And Tuesday being the winter solstice and the longest night of the year is a vampire’s best night of the year.

I was going to stay up and watch the eclipse which was suppose to be around 2am in the morning but then I remembered you are not suppose to stare directly at the moon during a eclipse, so I went to bed.

And now for something completely different…..
I’m still not sure why all the fuss about the Wikileaks stuff.  Mostly it has been embarrassing for a number of people in Government but so far no real damage seems to have been done to our national security. 

We have to look at it this way.  There is some really, really important stuff hasn’t been leaked.  Things like Colonel Sanders secret recipe for fried chicken and the real ingredients in Coca Cola.  How about what women want or McDonalds secret sauce?  These are things that could change the world.  

• Larry King’s last show was this past week.  He finally hung up his red suspenders which of course caused his pants to fall to his ankles and we got to see why he has been married eight times.

• Since the 1980s, The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, or TIGHAR, has been engaged in a search effort called The Earhart Project for famed aviator Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan.  Earhart and Noonan disappeared in 1937 during their attempt to make a round-the-world flight. Evidence has come to light that has given them new hope.  They’re bags arrived this week.

• “Don’t ask, don’t tell” has moved into “Can’t ask, so shut the f*#k up” 

• Harris County commissioner Jerry Eversole and  Harris County's former facilities management director, Michael Surface, were indicted on conspiracy, accepting bribes and paying bribes.    "Anything they ever did with each other -- whether trips, presents or anything -- were always done as part of friendship and never had anything to do with Jerry Eversole's official duties," said Rusty Hardin, Eversole's attorney.  Rusty actually said this with a straight face.  No wonder they pay these guys so much.  This is Oscar worthy stuff.
