You Missed It: Under arrest edition

Apparently there was an earthquake in the Washington, D.C. area early this morning. I saw apparently because I slept right through it. Granted, it was a small one, but I know people farther away who were woken up by the shaking. But the Washington will rise from this tragedy. We will stay strong. I will be accepting your donations–it’s for a good cause. If you were busy capping an oil well, odds are you missed it.

Now begins the wait for the movie
Colton Harris-Moore, the alleged barefoot bandit, was arrested in the Bahamas. He is wanted for a series of burglaries, as well as the thefts and crashes of a few planes. So that means it’s time for me to launch my career, get ready for “the shirtless bandit!”

I just want to say one word to you, just one word: Horses.
Dustin Hoffman has played everyone from Captain Hook to the Rain Man, and probably had some roles in the past 20 years. We’ll look into that one. His next role will finally take advantage of his short stature. OK, actually, we don’t know what he’s going to be playing, but he will be on an HBO show about horse racing. Let’s just assume for now that he’s playing a jockey. I’m in.

No booze at the reception though, they’re not 21
Finally, some good news. It seem there might be hope for the rest of us poor souls out there who threw away their hopes for eternal love when Al and Tipper Gore called it quite. Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are engaged! That means that The Daughter of an Overexposed Politician and The Guy Who Knocked Her Up are going to have the wedding of the year! So does this mean their son, Rig, or whatever his name is, is no longer a bastard?

Senior citizen-on-senior citizen crime!

Sometimes, when a story is important enough, you have to find the right source to present it in just the right way; otherwise, you might miss the essential life lesson.

Fortunately, Fox News is on the case!

The Case of Joe Perry and the Rear-ended Motorcycle seemed nigh unsolvable. Why did this happen? Who would hit a beloved American icon (in 1993)? Where did the system go wrong? Will it ever be safe to ride a two-wheeled overpowered vehicle that doctors call a “donorcycle” again?

The Fox answers: it’s the fault of a senior citizen driver.

The 59-year-old lead guitarist of your dad’s favorite band was hit on his motorcycle by a 62-year-old biddy who should have had her licensed seized at least five years ago!

But then again, it’s Texas

A dorm named after a Klansman? Who would’ve thought that might create an issue?

“You know, from time to time, we’re reminded of ugly periods in our nation’s history regarding civil rights by situations like this,” said UT Board of Regents member Printice Gary. “The question, then, is, ‘What do you do?’ and ‘How does the community respond to these types of challenges?'”

Answer: most people tend to amend the situation so that we’re never again reminded of the ugly periods. That can include, but is not necessarily limited to, renaming the dorm a long time ago.

Sandwiches are just too complicated
