Political Action Figures

A toy manufacturer called Hero Builders has just released THREE, 12-inch Sarah Palin action figures.

1. Sarah Palin the executive


2. Sarah Palin the Super hero


3. and I don't know why but Sarah Palin the Schoolgirl (???)

Now if you aren't a Sarah fan you may purchase a Barack Obama and John McCain. Of course the Barack doll doesn't come with one so the American flag lapel pen is sold separately and the McCain doll comes with a Monday-Friday pill box. (I kid, I kid)

Foot in mouth!

Barack's running mate Joe Biden definitely ran his mouth a bit much at a campaign stop in Columbia Missouri yesterday, where he introduced State Senator Chuck Graham by saying, "Chuck, stand up, let the people see you." That would have been fine and all has he not been in a WHEELCHAIR!!! Somebody get this man some water to swallow his foot.

Here's the video:

An award-winning Possum

George Jones will be one of the recipients of this year's Kennedy Center Honors.

"I am completely overwhelmed. I can't believe that I have been included in the same company as previous winners that are country music legends: Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash ,Loretta Lynn, and Willie Nelson. Since I was a young man, I have just done what I love and that is sing country music, and I never dreamed that something this special would happen to me. I am completely humbled and will be proud to accept this award."

Wake up and win

A recent survey of Americans says that liver is the worst food. What is #2?

New Taylor Swift!!!!

Last night was the CMA country rocks fest on TV and heard the new Taylor single, "Love Story" . Check out all of her new stuff here. Album drops in November..can't wait.

Carrie likes Kenny's sweat???

When Carrie was opening up for Kenny Chesney she said there were many times he would rub his sweat all over her body- YUCK! (I don't care who you are...nasty!)

She tells CMT.com, "You know,men sweat more than women. I don't sweat. But when I was opening for Kenny, he would be drenched when the show ended. he'd hug me, and I'd get all wet from Kenny's sweat."

Gross- how about a high-five instead??? Carrie is not only skinny, gorgeous, talented and now she doesn't sweat...what does she walk on water too?

Would you mind Kenny's sweat or any man's sweat. If you are like me and say, "NOOO," we could be wrong. Science says we love the sweat of a man and it is an aphrodisiac. I disagree, but then again I was never great at science. Maybe they are right there is nothing I love more than sweat rings and the smell of cold cuts on a man....ooooo baby!

Are you right-brained or left?

If you are left brained you are generally more logical and think more linearly, while people who are right brained are more visual, spatial and creative.

Here is an easy test to help determine which side you fall on...left or right.

Start by clasping your hands together...fingers intertwined. Now look at your thumbs. If you are right thumb in on top, you are left-brained. And if your left thumb is on top you are right-brained.

Here is a full quiz you can take below, however I couldn't finish it yet because I didn't have a ruler...so make sure you have one before you start.

People who collect these are called arctophiles. What are they collecting?

Teddy Bears

Today is national teddy bear. Did you know that the teddy bear was named after...that's right you guessed it...President Theodore Roosevelt after a hunting incident left a bear wounded and he ordered to put it out of his misery so it wouldn't suffer. A toy store owner reads about this in the New York Post and it asked permission to name the toy after him and it stuck. Some other interesting bear facts:

• At the height of the toys popularity, a priest in Michigan publicly denounced it as an enemy of the American family (???). He claimed that the stuffed toy would take over the mother's nurturing role and would eventually lead to racial suicide! (I'm sorry but was crack around then...what?!?)


• Bears from German toy maker Steiff are among the world's most prized collectibles. In 2000, one Steiff bear made in 1904 was priced at almost $18,000, according to one collectibles website.

The five second rule...

How many times have you dropped food on the floor and said, "5 second rule"? Don't lie! I have done it too...just not anymore. Look at what I found:

According to Yahoo Shine, they debunked some common health myths and this was among those:

Myth: Dropping something on the floor is OK to eat as long as you follow the 5-second rule.

FALSE: In a recent study, scientists contaminated a bunch of surfaces with Salmonella...then dropped bologna on the floor. In just FIVE seconds, the bologna picked up 1,800 types of bacteria...EWWW!

In the news....

A guy (police still don't know his name just that he was in his 30s) entered a 7-eleven in Dallas carrying a baseball bat. He headed straight over to the cash register...and bashed it until it opened. How much money did he take? None...zero...zilch...BUT he did manage to smuggle TEN packs of condoms and an energy drink before wheeling away in his wheelchair???? According to police, who are still searching for the guy, the man might be homeless and was probably drunk.

Ten packs of condoms and just ONE energy drink...huh...impressive.
