Sanford Impeachment Hearings Begin in SC – Morning News
The Mark Sanford impeachment hearings begin today. Sanford, in case you have forgotten, is the governor of South Carolina. (In this photo, he is doing his impression of Andrew McCarthy in every movie he ever appeared in — “I love her, man.”)He was hiking the Appalachian trail when he accidentally found himself in Buenos Aires, sleeping with a woman other than his wife. Hate when that happens. (AP)
Again, in case you don’t remember Governor Sanford, here is the press conference he gave after he returned to the United States.
I did a dramatic reading of Sanford’s insanely dorky emails on Babble Talk Radio back in June; you can listen to that right here.
This morning’s Headline I Don’t Understand But Still Think Is Really Cool is this one — Lightning Holds Fingerprint of Antimatter. OK, um, what? “Positrons, the antimatter equivalent to electrons, were detected in gamma ray bursts during lightning storms.” Oh! I knew that. “Gamma ray bursts that stem from lightning storms appear to be powerful enough to annihilate matter.” Gamma rays? Like the Incredible Hulk? Really? Awesome! (Discovery)
Guy kills dog before football game. He wasn’t an Eagles fan. Michael Vick plays for the Eagles now, and he was convicted of running a dogfighting ring. It’s less funny when I have to explain it. It’s also less funny because the fan, William Woodson of Western Pennsylvania, is accused of killing a dog. (AOL News) Here’s a video report:
In happier NFL news, the Tennessee Titans beat the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football last night. Well, happier NFL news if you are a Tennessee Titans fan. (NFL.com) Rob Bironas kicked a 53-yard field goal for the Titans with less than a minute to play, then Texans’ kicker Kris Brown shanked a 49-yard field goal with 1 second left on the clock. Or, as ProFootballTalk put it, Kris Brown blows another one. This news item is largely an excuse for me to post my song about Rob Bironas, to the tune of “My Sharona,” that I made a couple of years ago. For the record, I made it BEFORE everyone on the planet started singing Bironas’ name to the tune of the 80′s hit by The Knack. So there.
Oh, and a correction. Apparently the Twilight werewolves are not, in fact, werewolves. They are shape-shifters. At least that’s what my mother told me, and she’s actually read the “Twilight” books. Which I haven’t. Yet.
