So we're fat and dumb? Make that fat, dumb and happy:
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Forget New York, Los Angeles, or even Miami, Indianapolis is the most sexually satisfied city in the United States, according to a new report.
The Indiana city is followed by Columbus, Ohio, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Salt Lake City, Utah, in the report by Men's Health Magazine that ranked the sexual satisfaction of people in 100 cities.
We once had an executive editor -- Stewart Spencer was his name -- who would periodically come out of his office and just stand there, facing the newsroom, with his arms folded. After a minute or two, he'd go back in his office. I finally asked him one day why he did that. "It worries 'em," he said.
I think that's the principle in operation here:
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ? A local company is making a full-size decoy cop car, promising that it will scare off speeders and crooks.
For the "government is the problem, not the solution" file:
One group of Americans not that interested in the digital revolution:
Kreuziger's experience is shared by most Americans: They want the convenience of e-mail for non-urgent medical issues, but fewer than a third of U.S. doctors use e-mail to communicate with patients, according to recent physician surveys.
Not only do they exist -- there's even a reason for them:
We've all goofed up and flubbed up things we've previously done time and again.
It turns out the root of these brain farts may be a special kind of abnormal brain activity that begins up to 30 seconds before a mistake even happens.
You undecided Democrats who have been waiting to see which way John Mellencamp goes, too bad:
Bob Merlis, Mellencamp's publicist, said the rocker hasn't said who he'll vote for but sees Democrats as the greatest hope for change.
"Neither candidate is as liberal as he would prefer, but he's happy to contribute what he can," Merlis said Tuesday.
Me, I'm still waiting to hear if Chuck Norris is going to get over Huckabee losing and finally come out for McCain.
I can't stand it, can't stand it, can't stand it (construct mental picture of my head banging against the computer monitor):
Cyrus agreed to write a book about her early life in Tennessee, her move to Los Angeles and her parents — especially her mother — effects on her success.
I thought we'd had some embarrassing political candidates in this part of the state from time to time, but none of them hold a candle to this guy. "Worst Campaign Idea Ever?" asks the headline over the story that pretty much answers, "Oh, yes, it certainly was."
Laura Bush as co-host of "Today," fine. Even Cindy McCain co-hosting "The View" and Barack and Michelle Obama hanging out with Rachel Ray, OK. But which is the tacky and tasteless worst -- Presidnet Bush showing up on "Deal or No Deal" or all three presidential candidates taping bits for "WWE Raw"?
So you're sitting in a bar, sipping a beer and minding your own business. But here come the police to roust you anyway:
During the sweep, authorities also conducted bar checks at the Bank Lounge at 1078 Kenmore Blvd., where patrons were arrested on drug charges, and at the Boulevard Lounge at 995 Kenmore Blvd., where liquor violations were issued against the liquor permit holder and several patrons were charged with drug offenses, Edwards said.
Another myth that won't die down:
Tuesday, April 22, is the national observance of Equal Pay Day, the day when individuals throughout the country recognize the wage gap between working women and men. Equal Pay Day is held annually in April to signify the point into a year that a woman must work to earn what a man made the previous year.
Like Hawking says:
The 66-year-old British cosmologist, who suffers from ALS and must speak through a mechanical device, believes "if the human race is to continue for another million years, we will have to boldly go where no one has gone before."
As Wayne High School Assistant Principal Kristopher Sennett made his court appearance on child seduction charges yesterday, the 17-year-old he is accused of seducing was confused and didn't know "what to think anymore":
Happy Earth Day!
This should go over real well among Indiana Republicans:
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels elicited several hushed gasps and raised eyebrows late last week as he lectured a conservative crowd that it was "time to let Ronald Reagan go."

Welcome to the digital age:
CLARKSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - Police in Indiana say a group of middle school girls who videotaped the beating of a 12-year-old schoolmate and put it on the Internet may have been inspired by a similar video in Florida.
No charges have been filed yet in the Indiana case, which involves girls aged 12 to 14.
It was bad enough when hideous fashion fads slowly made their way to Indiana.
A breathtaking achievement
Research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312 ...:
Well, good luck with that:
And finally — and perhaps most importantly — McCain will rely on free media to an unprecedented degree to get out his message in a fashion that aims to not only minimize his financial disadvantage but also drive a triangulated contrast among himself, the Democratic nominee and President Bush.
