I Read the News Today! Oh Boy...12.18.05

.......[c]2005 by Richard L Zorek......12.18.05.....
Notes I made as I read the Kansas City Star:....
Maybe if Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey had just stayed on TV and changed their shows name from "Newlyweds" to "Married for a Bit" they might not be getting a divorce now. Simpson filed officially last Friday, but clearly she could not have been full of happiness about it because she would have to lose some of her own ego to allow anything else to fit.....Westlake Ace Hardware has a "cozy bed" on the front page of it's ad for $14.99. It's a pet bed, of course. Have you gotten your pet something for Christmas?? And do dogs believe in a Santa dog, or is it Jesus' dogs birthday?? ......The travel section has an article about the Christmas lights in the Ozarks. A few details and no mention of Jesus or anything like that. Guess Jesus really doesn't fit into this holiday anymore anyway. A lot of churches embrace Santa as their savior this time of year, also. Jesus is just too controversial for them....Kansas City Chiefs lose again. This time to the Giants. Tell me again why we need to spend a fortune to build a stadium for a Super Bowl??......The "Parade" section lists the best and worst of this year. The best college weekend is listed as a academic symposium in West Long Branch, New Jersey, which was devoted entirely to Bruce Springsteen. More than 150 scholars dissected everything from his career. The startling news about this? These kids are your future....that list has a lot of interesting oddities, including the kid who has been wearing the same clothes for 723 days. I would presume the smell would make the parents take notice....
