Grandma may get run over by a blizzard
At this hour it looks like those travelling for the Thanksgiving holiday will have to deal with delays and jams caused by a major winter storm. At this writing there is a 40 mile traffic backup in the Atlanta area. Leave early and pack your patience in your carry-on.
The most recent survey of shoplifting by a major loss-prevention company reveals that cosmetics, pregnancy tests and baby formula are among the most popular items among shoplifters. Is there some hidden meaning there?
No announcement has been made when or if the Fox Network will ever go ahead with its plans to make a celebrity version of "The Swan". I can think of a number of potential contestants.
Olivia Wise, the 16 year old who was suffering from an inoperable brain tumor when she achieved fame for her cover of Katy Perry's song "Roar" has died.
Some are wondering why it is that Alec Baldwin was fired by MSNBC (I don't believe for a minute that it was a "mutual parting", that's agent spin) and Martin Bashir remains unpunished. Maybe because Baldwin was suspended and then fired for uttering a homophobic slur, while all Bashir did was say something awful about Sarah Palin.
Maria Kang posted something on Facebook and it apparently touched raw nerves. The social media giant deleted her post and her access to the site. Her account has been restored, but not the post itself. She's claiming Facebook violated her freedom of speech. Reporter's note: This woman needs to re-read the First Amendment, because it says government can't limit freedom of speech, not businesses.
There's a new problem with E-cigarettes. Unlike their tobacco counterparts, when smokers toss the E-cigarette cartridge out of the car window, it can and will damage the tires of a car running it over. Normal cigarette butts don't do that.
Some sick SOB doused puppies in gasoline and then abandoned them in Phoenix. Fortunately, they were found by an animal lover who took them to the Maricopa County Animal Shelter. The pups were thoroughly cleansed of the fuel and will be available for adoption tomorrow.
The judge may find Charlie Sheen in contempt of court for his latest Twitter rant about the Department of Children and Family Services in Los Angeles County. He's pissed that the DCFS appears to be giving his ex-wife Brooke a way to obtain full custody of their children.
CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Lara Logan is on an indefinite leave of absence from the network. She is also a correspondent for 60 Minutes and it was her report on that program regarding what took place in Benghazi that has landed her in hot water. Given a speech on Benghazi she'd delivered before the report was aired, she shouldn't have been covering it in the first place.
The tax people are after boxer Manny Pacquaio claiming he owes $2.2 billion in unpaid taxes to the government of the Philippines (that's about $50 million). He and promoter Bob Arum claim it is a mistake and that since he paid income tax to the U.S. on the earnings in question, he doesn't owe anything to his homeland.
Pity poor Kelly Osbourne. She was stuck in traffic for over an hour because she couldn't go home. Police had blocked off that street due to the visit of President Obama. She took to Twitter to vent her frustration. The backlash was severe.
If you're a big fan of sriracha sauce, better stock up. A judge has ordered the Huy Fong Foods company to cease operations at its Irwindale plant that might produce the "odors" that are bothering the plant's neighbors
Howard Stern, the self-appointed King of all media cries. When? When kittens that he and his wife Beth have been caring for through a foster program of theirs leave for their new homes.
