- Remember the Large Hadron Collider in Europe that was going to recreate the conditions of the Big Bang? Remember how some were worried that it could inadvertently create a small black hole that would swallow the Earth like Vulcan in the new Star Trek movie? Well good news, it turns out that one of the employees has been arrested with ties to Al Qaeda.
- Red meat: President Obama is pledging to end the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Let me get this straight (no pun intended), he doesn’t have time to make a decision about what to do in Afghanistan but he’s going to drop what he’s doing and worry about allowing gays to openly serve in the military?
- Mark Zandi the founder of Moody’s and one of the top financial know-it-alls says that the unemployment rate will continue to get worse for quite some time. It could peak at 10.5% and stay there for a very long time. If the unemployment numbers are going to continue to get worse, why are people calling it a recovery?
- Just how bad is the job market? According to a new report, there are six unemployed workers competing for each open position.
- A Florida man thought he heard an intruder in his house, grabbed his gun and then shot at a figure in the hallway. It turned out to be his fiance, and it was the day before their wedding. I think that sounds a little suspicious, but the authorities say it was just a tragic accident.
- Marge Simpson is on the cover of the November issue of Playboy. Really. Now you’ll find not greater fan of The Simpsons than I, but it seems like the cartoon universe has many more likely centerfolds. On The Simpsons itself, Edna Grabapple seems more the type to pose for Playboy.
- I assume that the mascot would be “Smilin’ Joe Fission”: Hiroshima and Nagasaki are going to bid for the 2020 Olympics.
- What exactly are we teaching our kids?? New research shows that much of what is in books about Christopher Columbus may be wrong….very wrong.
