There were a lot of hostile looks and elbowing at last night’s big event…
- …The same was true at the UofM/MSU basketball game. (Score: MSU 75 - Uof M 52)
*****
President Obama’s “State of the Union” speech lasted almost exactly an hour and had a lot of people on the edge of their seats.
- With Biden and Boehner behind the Prez, it was like watching two of the Seven Dwarfs… “Happy & Grumpy”.
- Boehner looked like the guy in the commercial BEFORE he takes Ex-Lax.
*****
At the end of his speech, Obama recognized a woman in the audience who waited in line for six hours to cast her vote in the Presidential election. She’s 102 years old.
- She said she was thrilled with the accolade but ticked off that she waited six hours to vote and all of her dead friends in Chicago voted absentee.
*****
Today is Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent.
- Most Catholics give up things like alcohol or sweets. The Pope decided to give up his job.
- He’s already got a new job lined up: He’s going to be a Catholic School “Crossing Guard”!
*****
The British Royal family is upset that the paparazzi got photos of Princess Kate Middleton pregnant and in a bikini.
- They were even more embarrassed by the photos of Prince Charles in a Speedo.

REMINDER: The Salvation Army Bed & Bread Club Radiothon is a week from this Friday, Feb. 22nd. Every penny raised during the 16-Hour event goes to feed over 5000 men, women and children everyday, 365 days a year, and provides shelter for more than 800 Metro-Detroiters every night. I hope you’ll join me live at the Oakland Mall or tune in anytime from 6am to 10pm on 760 WJR!
Many thanks in advance for your support!
