NO HOLIDAY FOR YOU!

 Senators won't get time off for the July 4 holiday because they haven't made enough progress on raising the debt ceiling. Majority Leader Harry Reid announced Thursday that legislators will be back in Session on July 5 instead of getting the week off.

 

Wow, really? Those poor guys have to go back on Tuesday…?

…like the rest of us!!!

BEST SONG TITLE OF THE DAY

From the album "Wooden Head" by the Turtles:

Grim Reaper Of Love

RIP: CLARENCE CLEMONS

The Big Man, on June 18th from a stroke suffered earlier in the week. Now there's a sideman who will be sorely missed. Saw him with the Boss in the late 70s; back in the days of 4-hour+ Springsteen shows, and you could tell there was a real friendship between the two of them.

Saw Clarence a few years back on his solo tour when he played at Chuch Street in Orlando, and that was a good time too.

Sorry to see you go Clarence, "You're A Friend of Mine" as the song goes...

Rock on Big Man, rock on...

AND FOR ALL YOU CANUCK FANS

Nuff said!!

HEALTHY LIVING

So it's kind of ironic that bean sprouts are good for you, or so they say; but it turns out that the cause of the e.coli outbreak in Europe is...

...bean sprouts!!

And of course, we all know that Jim Fixx - the man who popularized jogging - died from a heart attack...

...while jogging!!

RIP: JACK KEVORKIAN

Yup, 'Dr Death'...dead!

...But seriously, why shouldn't people in pain& terminally ill be allowed to die peacefully at a time of their own choosing...?
