Wish I Could Find The Clip

There was a story on the news this morning of a baby found floating in a trash bag in Brazil. I can't remember if I was watching Good Morning America or the Today show, but one of the shows had the actual amateur videotape of a guy fishing the bag out of the lake and opening up to see this crying baby. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I'm looking for the video. Edit: I found a photo. Edit #2: And another.

As Most Struggle To Pay Gas And Heating Bills . . .

. . . "NEW YORK (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp. the world's largest publicly traded oil company, on Monday reported a quarterly profit of $10.7 billion, capping a year of record earnings dominated by surging oil and gas prices."

Remind Me Not To Make Her . . .

. . . the future Mrs. Green. Edit: The first comment makes reference to the wheels off closing argument of the prosecutor. A picture of it is here.

Dakota Fanning

This 11 year old child actor normally beats me down, but her presentation to Shirley Temple tonight on the SAG Awards (yeah, I know you didn't see it - it was on TNT) was simply amazing. She may be the closest thing to Shirley Temple we've ever seen. Which reminds me, whatever happened to Haley Joel Osment of the Sixth Sense? (A great movie, by the way).

Printing Money

The NFL is printing money: "ESPN is paying $1.1 billion annually over eight years to broadcast the Monday night games. NBC has a six-year, $3.6 billion deal for the Sunday night package. CBS and Fox are paying a total of $8 billion over six years for the rights to Sunday afternoon games. DirecTV agreed to pay $3.5 billion for a five-year extension that runs through 2010." Throw in ticket sales, suite sales, licensing, and product sales and there is a ton of cash involved. With that much cash floating around, I'm not sure the players are being paid enough.

Funny Bit

There's a great funny bit going on in the Internet world: Whenever you see a photograph that is widely circulated, the geeks "photoshop" it - meaning they take the image and trick it up. Take, for example, I posted a pic of a USC cheerleader a week ago. It has been "photoshopped" here. Warning: could be offensive.

Local News Coverage

Here's a link to a Channel 11 story and video on the fundraising for local volunteer fire departments.

Someone Stop This Woman

Have you kept up with the latest Oprah Spotlight? She put some spare guy's book on her Book Club (and, of course, it sells a krillion copies). Then we find out that most of this "memoir" of a recovering drug addict is made up. Larry King gets the author on his TV show and Oprah calls in to defend him. Sheesh. Of course, she gets lots of hate mail and . . . (drumroll, please) . . . she changes her mind. So, she fires up the cameras and gets the author back on the show so she can call him a "liar" in front of zombie fans. I can't stand that woman. And, today, all she gets is glowing reviews.
