March 1

Another one joins the circus—Senator John McCain announced his plans to run for president on David Letterman late. Already considered a candidate, the 70 year old Senator titles his campaign “Commonsense Conservatism.” Is that the same as “compassionate conservatism” promised by the Bush administration, because yeah that was a joke. This is McCain’s second shot at the Republican nomination. He faces steep opposition from Rudi Giuliani.

Not your normal tater—A 74 year old Italian woman got the shock of her life after buying a sack of potatoes at a local market. While washing the spuds, the woman noticed that one seemed particularly heavy. After washing the dirt off the weighty spud, she noticed that it was not a spud but a hand grenade. The grenade is believed to be from WWII and was most likely picked up from a potato farm in France . Police safely detonated the grenade.

Its not you Dan Brown—Think the Di Vinci Code is the best. Wrong! (I would respect you less if you did by the way) British readers voted Jane Austen’s 18th century classic Pride and Prejudice as their most favorite novel (one of mine too), proving the classics are still the best out there...well almost, Harry Potter fans rejoice as JK Rowlings’ hit wizard series comes in 4th. The Lord of the Rings trilogy placed 2nd. What are your number ones?

And in keeping with my three ring circus of news stories—An Indiana man attempted to cash a 50K check from God. The check was signed by “King savior, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Servant.” The man was arrested at the Chase bank in which he attempted the fraud and could face jail time. I personally think a check from the devil would have been much more convincing, signed “Lucifer Michael Bezelbub Inferno.”

This is your news you can use, enjoy!
