Rodman in Korea

Former NBA standout Dennis Rodman is in North Korea as a spokesman for bringing the Harlem Globetrotters there to play some basketball. Dennis is the wrong canidate to send there i feel because of his track record. He is known for his crazy hair, piercings and his terrible attitude and personallity. But if he gets the globetrotters there it will be a win and hopefully he can come out of the country alive.  Dennis played many seasons in the NBA and has written his own book which he came in a dress to a signing event. Dennis Rodman is a crazy human being!

celebrating gone wrong!

two brothers won $75,000 in the lottery and celebrated. they took their money and went out to buy meth and pot to do but then it all ended up bad. the butane torch that they were using had a little leak and the vapor got to the pilot of the furnace to blow up the home. the two survived the explosion and taken to the hospital. last night one of the guys was released from the hospital but was immediately arrested on drug charges. these two brothers did not deserve to win the money especially because how they spent it

First in 600 years!

Pope Benedict XVI is resigning from being the pope effective February 28. The pope is 85 years old and he is resigning due to the fact that he is aging and his health is declining. He feels that he can no longer do his duty of looking over over 1 billion Catholics. He was the first pope to resign since 1415 when Pope Gregory XII stepped down. The Catholics will have a new pope before easter, which is March 31. There isnt a leading canidate to replace the pope but the Catholic community is working hard to find a replacement.

no mail on saturdays?

The u.s. post service or the mail is planning on cutting out saturday mail routes to cut down the cost. this plan would save the agency 2 billion dollars. it is going to be annouced today according to fox new and will bevin effect starting in August. the service has been struggling with money and has raised the mail prices over time including a penny raise lately. Research shows that 7 out of 10 americans approve of the move. Packages will still be delivered 6 days a week because packages have gone up 14% since 2010. i think this move is decent and in 20 years i feel there will be no mail system it will all be email.
