Useful information from behind the control board

- Last night President Obama’s speech was interrupted by a Republican congressman yelling out “You lie!” Was that just speaking truth to power or just disrespectful?
- Pelosi says she has the votes to pass ObamaCare, Drudge does a head count and says she doesn’t, 44 democrats are opposed to it. Since we gave our elected officials such a hard time in August, should we send each of those 44 a thank you card? Maybe a fruit basket?
- Bill Kurtis (You know him, he just found the internet) is returning to WBBM with “Cold Case Minutes” to go along with his syndicated show Cold Case Files.
- No tickets to the gun show for Chicago: The City Council today approved an ordinance requiring some time behind bars for anyone convicted of illegally carrying a gun under city ordinances.
- The man who bought the old post office building is Bill Davies from jolly old England. He says he plans to “re-energize the property as a focal point and destination for the entire city.” But it turns out that he’s left a trail of misery, destruction and bankruptcy wherever he’s gone. Do I smell another Chicago Spire?
- Joe Scarborough for President in 2012? He was a Contract with America guy, so the GOP could certainly do worse, but I’d still stick with my guy Romney.
- Police state: One Ohio town is on the verge of passing a law allowing cops to “seize a stereo” if it is played too loudly in car.
- The latest study says that some cell phones emit way more radiation than others. iPhones are high on the list; Blackberries are hereby renamed “Widowmakers.”
- According to a new study a quarter of Americans are now watching TV shows online. My brother and his wife are actually considering ditching their satellite in favor of NetFlix and various online options like Hulu and Amazon. Ignoring the larger question of whether or not TV studios can make money if everyone is watching online, do you get the same effect if you’re watching on the computer?
- Mr. Beef and Gyros in Joliet has pledged to change his last name to Beef once he hits 2,000 fans on his Facebook page. I’m willing to change my middle name to “Mr Tweet” when we hit 5,000 followers on the John and Cisco Twitter.
- Dumb Criminal Files: He was one of three guys who robbed a couple at gunpoint. Two hours later, he came back… to ask the female victim out on a date. She said no.
- As if we didn’t have enough problems, now Texas is apparently being overrun by ants. They swarm, running in all directions, gumming up computers and freaking out pets. And the experts really don’t know what species they are and how to stop them.

I personally would like to hear more yelling and heckling during speeches…AND SHOE-THROWING. I want these things for entertainment value of course. I also think whoever kicks the most ass should be president and rather than have elections, the president could be challenged to a STEEL CAGE MATCH and whoever wins gets the title!
