in case you missed it...


bill clinton's full speech last night at the democratic national convention.
i got to hand it to old bubba...the man is a born public speaker.
but...
did anyone else notice the white blob in the corner of his mouth? so distracting...
;)

have you seen this?!?!

file under...what will they think of next?

the swedish company vernissage has created a box of wine disguised as...a handbag!
the 3-liter bag, with a price tag of around 40 bucks, contains french wine from vin de pays d'oc. and will probably guarantee you life of the party status.
if you can convince everyone to drink wine out of your purse. which i'm sure won't be too hard...

sadness...

the actor was 54.
he was being treated for a heart attack he had in july from which he never recovered.
the former bodyguard was known for such films as "armageddon", "planet of the apes", and of course "the green mile", which earned him an oscar nomination for best supporting actor.
so sad.

another shining moment...

in south cackalacky !!

a 44-year-old fort mill mother was arrested saturday night for giving her son shots of beer at an irish pub.
her son is FOUR.

Describing the beverage his mother gave him as “tea,” the boy told deputies that the drink “tasted funny and made him laugh a lot.” The child “also said that the ‘tea’ that his mom gives him makes him dizzy.”
he also told police that his mom gives him "tea" at home.
nice. how much do want to bet she gets her kid back?
