The Great Doughnut Debate
News You Won't Hear on Rush Lamebaugh
At last report, the federal grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA officer's identity still had not taken any action. Either that, or the guys who usually leak secret grand jury stuff are afraid to take a leak.
Janet Jackson says in no uncertain terms she is not the mother of a secret child. Well, you'd think she would know.
- I'm a man, of course, but childbirth is not one of those things I'd forget.
Thursday Looks Thrilling
Thursday is Cranky Co-Workers Day, a day when everybody at work is encouraged to be cranky. Unfortunately, most cranky co-workers don't have to be encouraged.
Fun History
The Great Doughnut Debate was held on October 27, 1947, to decide once and for all who invented the doughnut hole.
- Originally, the doughnut was simply a fried cake with a nut in the middle. Hence the name, dough nut.
- Chief High Eagle claimed a Cape Cod housewife had been cooking fried cakes when an Indian tried to killer her, and the arrow missed the woman and, instead, killed her fried cake, leaving quite a hole in the middle.
- But the judges ruled in favor of 15-year-old Hanson Gregory of Clam Cove, Maine, who in 1847 allegedly punched the centers out of his mother's fried cakes because "the centers were never cooked done anyway."
- The judges apparently felt the Indian story was just too full of holes.

Such Wisdom
The college experience has its highs and lows: the kids’ grades are too low and their blood alcohol level is too high.
- These days college kids spend less time taking classroom tests and more time taking breathalyzer tests.
Thoughts While Shaving
The NFL is boring, the NBA is disintegrating, baseball is totally predictable. Maybe Fox was right, maybe we do need the XFL. Maybe we need Roller Derby. Maybe we need Sumo Hockey.
