OK, we’ll admit it. Some of us are drawn to dangerous gear like bears to a picnic basket. Although we’d never condone breaking the law with these five gadgets, we can’t deny our morbid fascination with them. Just remember: If misused, these gizmos could get you slapped with a set of handcuffs along with a criminal record.

We grew up memorizing these seemingly nonsense lines of verse from Mother Goose, which seem to exist for no other reason than to keep toddlers entertained. There couldn’t possibly be some kind of weird, twisted history to them, could there?

Presidents of some of the country’s biggest colleges and universities have come out in support of the Amethyst Initiative, which is pushing a proposal to reconsider the national drinking age of 21. The group contends that the current policy hasn’t actually deterred alcohol abuse among college-age students; instead, it’s forced these young people…

Tonight as we recorded our 3rd podcast…we took time to talk with Mark Sarian. His name came to us as the registered owner of “obamabinbiden.com”. The site was registered on August 17th. We inquired as to how he knew. He informed us that it was “just a good guess.” When asked what he planned to do with it, he informed us he was going to keep it for now as a sort of “conservative cockblock.” Mr. Sarian, a comedian, and one half of “Mark and Ari” was a great guest. Visit his site at “Mark and Ari.com” Unfortunately, upon closure of the podcast we suffered a technical loss. Our entire conversation was not recorded. We rerecorded the podcast without calling back Mr. Sarian as we did not feel the need to interrupt his evening again, nor did we feel the comedic timing would be there. We thank him again for taking our call and we encourage each of you to view his site.

Barack Obama announced his VIce President nominee for the cameras at a gathering in Springfield, IL. or was he announcing the next President. In a goof, Obama announced Biden as the next “President of the United States.” Obama is 2 for 2 today.

Barack Obama decided to announce to the world at 3 AM that he had selected Senator Joseph Biden for his Vice Presidential running mate. An odd time indeed to announce it unless he was choosing to rub it in Hillary’s face. Remember Hillary had a successful ad campaign that swung the pendulum for a few weeks with her “Answer the call at 3 AM” for a foreign policy issue. No surprise and inexperienced and lacking maturity, Obama sends out a 3 AM text to announce his VP. His VP selection is a man most known for inserting his foot in his mouth on more than one occasion. Smart move Obama. For once, I sympathize with Hillary.
