Thurs. Show Prep – Single Mother College Fund Edition

A plan to tax Illinois strip clubs has won a tentative OK from a state Senate committee. The legislation would impose an admission tax of $5 per person at strip clubs that serve alcohol or let customers bring their own. The tax money would go to sexual assault prevention programs. How can the government single out a specific, perfectly legal good/service for a tax?

I know that losing six of ten Super Tuesday contests was devastating, but it’s finally time to take Rick Santorum seriously as a Presidential candidate. He joins Ron Paul, Herman Cain and even Mitt Romney as candidates with an official campaign theme song. The Harris sisters from Tulsa, Okla. and the other eight members of their family have released a soft-rock ode to Rick Santorum. Did you know that God gave us the Bill of Rights? Question of the day: Who is more skilled at song writing, the Harris sisters or Rebecca Black?

Classic Cinema here in Chicago is banning children under age six into R-rated movies. Not even with their parents. In other news, apparently there were parents who thought it was a good idea to bring their six year old children to R-rated movies.

Rush Limbaugh has support from an unlikely person. Bill Maher says Limbaugh has apologized and liberals just look bad by not accepting it. He also hates the idea of sponsor intimidation.

A school in San Antonio had to apologize after their fans celebrated a win by chanting “USA! USA! USA!” San Antonio school district officials took the chant as a racial insult to a school with all minority players from a school with mostly white ones. Wait, what? I’m actually confused by both sides here. a) Why were they chanting that at a high school basketball game to begin with? b) Why is it racist?

End of the World Update: A Coronal Mass Ejection from that giant solar flare will hit the Earth Thursday morning at 6am CT. It’s supposed to be a glancing blow, but it could potentially interfere with satellites in orbit and power grids around the world.

Speaking of the end of the world, Harold Camping has resurfaced. The doomsday prophet says that his gloom and doom predictions were “sinful”

  • Keith & Katie – 10/31/12 – Death, Taxes and Waffle House
    FEMA is again using the “Waffle House Index” to plan their disaster response in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. FEMA calls an area Waffle House, and if they are closed, then they know that that sector needs relief. If the Waffle House is open, you go down on the priority scale. This is actually a […]
  • Keith & Katie – 10/30/12 – Zombie Training
    An untold number of “zombies” are coming to a counterterrorism summit attended by hundreds of Marines, Navy special ops, soldiers, police, firefighters and others to prepare them for their worst nightmares. It’s no joke, they will act out a very possible scenario with a wounded VIP… it’s just that because it’s Halloween and all, the security personnel […]
  • Keith & Katie – 10/29/12 – Creepy Campaigning
    We’re really upping the creep-factor as the Presidential election heads into the home stretch. A new campaign ad features “future” kids singing about the post-apocalyptic waste land that the world “became” after Mitt Romney was elected, with the kids blaming their parents for voting for him. Which is creepier, “future children” singing about how awful their […]
