I Believe...

...that data from the U.S. Department of Labor shows that if income inequality continues to rise at the current rate, the income gap in the United States “will resemble that of Mexico by year 2043.” Okay. I can deal with that. I have 33 years to become a millionaire. Of course, by that time, it would probably put me in the lower middle class.

...that Lindsay Lohan does not have the same name recognition as Cher or Madonna. She threw away her promising acting career and traded it in for tabloid fodder.

...say what you want about Sandra Bullock's acting skills, she deserves another Oscar just for that acceptance speech. Funny, sweet, and she looked great. I still won't see the movie, unless there's some scene where a bus jumps a gap in a highway ramp that I don't know about.

...that we all have our addictions. You just have to make sure you choose one that doesn't destroy your body and your wallet. What's my addiction? Look at the blog title.

And I have a two kitten-a-day habit.



THE BS NEWS QUIZ OF THE DAY


Yesterday, I asked...

"Toni Tramel, from Kentucky, was already in jail for public intoxication and can now add to her charges assault with what?"


42% said "flatulence" - Man, if that were a crime, I'd be locked up in Arkham Asylum.

14% said "cold and flu germs" - "Sorry, Officer. I didn't know my nose was loaded."

No one said "body odor"

44% got it right with, yes, "breast milk"

According to The Smoking Gun, after Toni Tramel was arrested for public intoxication, she was transported to the Daviess County Detention Center in Owensboro. While there, Tramel was directed to change into a jail uniform. But the uncooperative suspect was "too intoxicated to complete the task on her own," so Officer Lula Brown sought to aid her, according to the incident report. That is when Tramel "took off her bra, grabbed her breast and squirted breast milk, hitting me in the face and neck region," reported Brown. Tramel attempted a second lactation assault, "but was unsuccessful," added Brown.

Ew.
