Hands down… this family wins best ensemble costume.

You shouldn’t drink and drive.  You also shouldn’t drive into the drink.

They call themselves both fair and balanced.  Are they?  Is anyone?

If it works on Meredith Veira, it may work on someone else.

Today will be remembered as the day when a little boy named Falcon Heene caused the country to hold its breath.  A great big balloon launched into the sky and America worried about the little six year old boy thought to be onboard.  As it turns out, he was home safe, hiding in the attic inside a box, because he thought his dad was mad at him.

Meanwhile, in the Twitter world, one of the trending topics was #falconsonglist.  People were coming up with songs for little Falcon’s iPod as he flew among the clouds (at least while people thought he was).

Here are some of the songs:

In the Air Tonight
99 Red Balloons
Living in a Box
Ain’t No Mountain Enough
I Believe I Can Fly
Hello (Is it me you’re looking for)
Up Where We Belong

Twitter people are funny

Canton (Michigan) Plymouth High learned that the hard way earlier this month.

The school thought it had defeated Westland (Michigan) John Glenn when it blocked a last-second field goal attempt. But when its players ran off the field in celebration, none of the players realized that the ball hadn’t crossed the line of scrimmage and was still in play.

No official had blown the ball dead.

So while Plymouth celebrated, John Glenn’s Tony Wilton alertly picked up the ball and ran 33-yards for the winning score. - from Yahoo.

We didn’t do family singalongs in the car growing up.  My dream family will though…

And if you liked he song but not the video, here’s another version for you…

“They are concerned about Democratic races all around the country,” he said. “I see it as what has become an overly politicized process.” – Gov. David Paterson, on the political process we call a campaign.

“Online reviewers are a little like T-Ball parents: To them, everyone’s a winner. Though the Internet is laden with snark and meanness, customer reviews are a bastion of the positive, with the average grade sitting at about 4.3 out of 5 stars, according to Bazaarvoice, a company that provides review software.”  Um yeah…. online people are only gonna review stuff they’re choosing to buy.

These guys built a platform to house an HD cam corder, attached a GPS tracking device and  tied it to a weather balloon and landing parachute.  They got the camera up to over 100,000 feet, where the curvature of the Earth is visible.

I, on the other hand, bought a slow cooker.
