Apparently, Earl is a bit cantankerous, so he had some April Fool's fun with the media, telling some reporters it really was Cooper's. |
Blowing Smoke? April Fools Day pranks in the

James Bond going bi and a turtle addicted to nicotine.
Were any of them true? CNN's Jeanne Moos gets to
the bottom of it (or does she?) in this video report.

Loaded Cindy McCain, wife of presidential hopeful John McCain,
is a kazillionaire, due to her association with Anheuser-Busch.
Her family has helped fund John's campaigns. At first the notion of
having a beer baron in the White House was exciting; until we
realized that having an oil baron there resulted in skyrocketing fuel
prices. Does that mean if McCain were elected, it would result in
higher beer prices? Craig is stockpiling, just in case.

| Remembering the Dream Friday was the 40th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. We've come a long way from signs of segregation over public doors, thanks to his leadership. We're still learning, but we're getting closer to fulfilling his dream. In his honor, we remember his message of fighting for unity through peaceful acts. Dr. King said many important things in the speech he delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, but people tend to rush to the end to hear the touching "I Have a Dream" segment and don't hear his complete message. It would be a shame if those words were to become lost over time. Therefore, here is Dr. King's inspirational speech in its entirety. |

Fund, Make It Right, Malaria No More, Save The Children,
U.S. Programs and the Children's Health Fund. Even
Simon has a heart. He donated a paycheck last year and plans to do the same
this year. Few of us can afford that, but if we all pitch in a little, it turns into a
miracle. We believe you get what you give, so rewards will come back to you.

Freedom of the Press The scene in San Francisco was chaotic Wednesday as
the Olympic flame relay began amidst massive groups of protesters, due to
China's human rights record. The torch route was altered to protect runners;
even the media lost track of it at the beginning. There were scuffles along the
way, and the closing relay ceremonies were canceled. Despite worldwide
coverage, this is what China's government-controlled news is reporting. China
prohibits outside news sources or the Internet. God Bless America.

Johns Flushed Shock, controversy - Michael Johns
voted off American Idol. Conspiracy theories had run
rampant across the Internet Thursday, speculating
that since the producers' pet, Carly, had a rough week
and was predicted to go, they would repeat last year's
Idol Gives Back generosity and not eliminate anyone.
As a result, Carly would be discretely spared. Instead,
Ryan shocked the world when he announced Syesha
and Carly were safe. Dialidol tracks calls, and TiVo
tracks most watched performances. Dialidol predicted Carly would go, and TiVo
predicted Syesha. Michael wasn't in the bottom three according to any tracking
sources. Fans are also calling Ryan "cruel" for the way he broke the news. New
conspiracy theory: Since the plot was exposed, they booted Michael as a cover
to hide the their protection of Carly. In the coming days, we will get word that there
was a problem with the phones, so in all fairness, Michael will be brought back.
Is it possible? If Idol would reveal voting stats, or let a third party monitor them for
fairness, maybe people would stop thinking producers are up to no good.

Phil phumbles again. Just as everyone was starting to forget
how Dr. Phil butted into Britney's problems, the former Dr. is
back in the hot seat. Members of his staff bailed out a teen
who was in jail with other kids for beating another teen and
putting it all on YouTube. His camp has issued a statement
accusing staff members of "going beyond their guidelines"
by bailing out the girl and he's decided to cancel the show.
That's good, since the judged ruled no one can talk about
it. FULL STORY. There is more to this quack than meets

Back at the Ranch Kristy Lee Cook was finally sent home
from American Idol Wednesday night. After weeks of poor
performances and surviving the cut, she really improved
the last two weeks; now she's gone. A standing "O" for the
way she went out - she sat on the table in front of Simon
and stared deeply into his eyes while singing the poetic
first lines of the song, "Forever," from Mariah night: "Those
days of love are gone, our time is through." With a roar of
laughter from the crowd and Simon, she went out in style.

| Good Call The Dayton Daily News put out this informative article on the Illinois earthquake Friday morning. It was written before the 4.6 aftershock, and it warned one of that magnitude could occur. It did. It also gives us some plain English info about this fault line. If you want more technical info, visit the USGS website. |
A Bit Shaken Midwesterners were awakened early
Friday morning by a 5.2 earthquake. The epicenter was
near West Salem, Illinois, and could be felt as far away
as Louisville, KY, where this damage occurred, and
points beyond. CNN's story. Ironically, this is the
anniversary of the "Big One" in San Francisco in 1906.
Check out this funny video of a meteorologist caught off
guard on camera trying to explain the shaking!
Friday morning by a 5.2 earthquake. The epicenter was
near West Salem, Illinois, and could be felt as far away
as Louisville, KY, where this damage occurred, and
points beyond. CNN's story. Ironically, this is the
anniversary of the "Big One" in San Francisco in 1906.
Check out this funny video of a meteorologist caught off
guard on camera trying to explain the shaking!
We felt shaking in Fort Wayne Friday at 11:16 am ET. We are getting reports that
people in the St. Louis area and in Ohio also felt the second big shake. The
USGS confirmed a 4.6 quake at 11:14 ET, 10:14 CT. That's a big aftershock!
Other small aftershocks have also been noted, bringing Friday's quake total to
seven. If you have info, email us or go to our myspace page.
UPDATE: Another 4.5 aftershock from the same region rattled the Midwest
yet again Monday morning at 12:40 CT. Enough already!

To Tell the Truth Can any politician be totally honest?
Hillary fibbed about being under sniper fire, now Obama
is really under fire for his ads claiming he doesn't take
money from oil companies. That's not entirely accurate.
Here's the story. His claims of not taking money from
lobbyists? USA Today says that's even more untrue.

SNIPED Wesley Snipes was given the maximum penalty as
prosecutors in his tax fraud case requested. In a startling
move, just before his sentencing, his attorneys presented
three checks totalling $5 million. Prosecutors were so
dumbfounded at first, they almost didn't accept them! They
changed their minds, but that wasn't enough. He will serve
three years in prison. Let's hope his cell mates haven't
seen him in this role (right) as Noxema in To Wong Foo,

Out of Sync Rocky, a choir director from Washington DC, made the trip all the
way to San Francisco in attempt to lead the nation in prayer for relief. He's not
asking God to help bring peace to the world, feed the hungry or for help with the
earthquakes and wildfires. He's asking God to help lower gas prices. San Fran
has the highest in the nation, so he decided to go there - all the way across the
country, wasting (pardon the pun) God knows how much fuel, to ask for lower
fuel costs; which would be lower if we didn't waste so much fuel traveling across
the country. Yo, Rocky! You're part of the problem! Besides, should we really
expect divine intervention for the use of something that sparks greed, causes
wars and is polluting the Earth? How 'bouts praying for an affordable alternate
fuel source that doesn't hurt the environment? Bigger fish, my friend.
