So, France has banned television programs for children under the age of three-years old. The High Audiovisual Council, in a ruling published 
Wednesday, said it wanted to "protect children under 3 from the effects of television."
France's minister for culture and communication, Christine Albanel, issued a "cry of alarm" to parents in June about channels dedicated 24 hours a day to baby-targeted programming. In a newspaper interview, she called them "a danger" and urged parents not to use them to help their children get to sleep.
No word on whether the French will soon be banning the world from calling them “weak-kneed cowardly sycophants”.

So, Usain Bolt can most certainly wear the title of the “World’s Fastest
Man”…additionally, he has also been awarded the titles “Biggest A-Hole in Track” and “Ego-trackster”.The guy begins his celebrations far before he crosses the finish line and should be taught how to act in victory…

So, sad news regarding LeRoi Moore, the sax player from the Dave Matthews Band. He left us yesterday as a result of injuries he suffered in an ATV accident in June. He was a talented musician and the band will miss his contributions.So the manager of the New Zealand Men’s Field Hockey team was ejected from their match
against Germany the other day because three of his team members were wearing black underwear under their white shorts.No, you read that correctly…there seems to be a rule that uniforms must be consistent or some crap like that. This is a perfect example of what is wrong with sports today. They regulate the color of your underwear????
On another note…Men’s Field hockey????? Are you messing with me? These guys should be wearing thongs if they are going to be playing Field Hockey. What, couldn't they make the Tiddly-Winks Team in high School???

So you probably know that Heath Ledger was filming Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus" at the time of his death. Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell stepped in to complete Heath's role, playing different versions of his character When the three actors learned that Ledger's will had not been updated to include his daughter, the generous trio decided to donate all the money they earned from the film to little Matilda!
That is very cool and even though I think Jude Law is a turd, I commend him along with Depp and Farrell.
So, is it getting chilly out there again? Seems Norway has posted the
following on it’s Defense Ministry’s web site: "Norway has noted that Russia has decided for the time being to 'freeze' all military cooperation with NATO and allied countries,"Russia is acting like it wants all its territory back (well at least Georgia), and now, if this happens, we might be in for “Cold War 2 – Ruskies Revenge”.

I think this is one of my all time favorite Allman brothers songs...one that does not get much notice..."Please Call Home" from the IDLEWILD SOUTH album released in September of 1970. This is from vinyl and there are a few pops left...can't get 'em all.
ENJOY...
