This was to be expected. Mountain Dew (a Pepsi product) did the same thing a few months back. Ditto that, Kimokekahuna, biodegradable would really be nice!

I halfway agree with you, Mr. DeMicke, but he seems to have drifted towards the sensational in the last three or four years. A bit too much attention to the ratings, perhaps?

I tease my little sister all the time for her near obsession with getting ready for tornadoes and the like here in the Midwest. She has always said, "You cannot predict, but you can prepare!"

Posted in: Argentine Jorge Bergoglio elected Pope Francis See in context
I am not Catholic, but find this pick inspiring. His Holiness appears to have taken the bus to work as a Cardinal. The pomp and circumstance was utterly fascinating. I find it especially interesting that he chose the name Francis. And that before bestowing his blessing on the masses, he ask for a moment of silence so they (the masses) could offer prayers for him. VIVA LI PAPA !
