Tigers, Pandas, and Big Oil- HAPPY SATURDAY!



Happy Saturday! It’s my bi-weekly weekend to work. So far, we’re starting out with a BANG. So be careful out there. Especially at the waterfalls and hiking trails. Since late March, there has been as many or more fatalities on the waterways in upper SC as there were ALL of last year between Memorial Day and Labor Day. There have been more than I care for lost and injured hikers around Table Rock and Caesar’s Head.

Hear about the flooding that wiped out an Arkansas campground? 16 dead/ others missing. Doesn’t get much sadder than this in my book. How sad.

Can’t WAIT until the elections and Gulf Oil spill stories die down. Yahoo! News has a good story that may explain why we haven’t heard too many “Boycott Big Oil” stories or rallies. Click HERE

Former Heavyweight Danny Lopez and the late Howards Cosell join 11 others inducted today into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Though the sport’s popularity is at an all time low due to the UFC/MMA/WWE wresting et al, it’s STILL 85 times more popular

Have you guys seen pictures of those dogs dyed to look like other animals? Kinda cool and creepy at the same time to me.

Speaking of creepy and cool, I was reading Whitney Matheson’s blog about a company that makes customized stuffed dolls. Click HERE or go to http://www.iamastuffedanimal.com/

The Juice’s Lawyers are saying that O.J. Simpson's conviction for robbery and kidnapping was flawed because black jurors were wrongly excluded and the judge was prejudiced against his defense team.

World Cup in South Africa --- yawn…. Seriously, soon you’re gonna hear stories how viewership or interest in the games are WAY up. While increasing viewership from 30k US households to 45k US households may be a 50% increase (numbers are made up, much like the one’s you’ll read about), it’s still MSNBC area numbers. Reruns of the Golden Girls on TVLand get much more viewership. Much like boxing…..

HEY!!
