From the "Just Ain't Right" files
How is this possible?-- A 40 year old Florida woman, who weighed anywhere from 450 to 600 lbs, died after an attempt to remove her from her sofa. This article stated that her skin had been grafted to the fabric of the sofa, and that she was so large that she couldn't even get up to relieve herself. Rescue workers had to wear protective gear and blash fresh air into the woman's apartment because of the stench. She had been on her sofa for about 6 years! Now, unless she was laying on that sofa in her birthday suit for all that time, how could she become "grafted" to the sofa?
NJ Governor steps down because he's a "Gay American"-- James McGreevy, a married man with two children, stated Thursday that he's resigning his office because he had an extramarital affair with another man, and that knowledge could compromise the integrity of the Governor's office. He made this announcement with his wife by his side. The "other man" is an Israeli national named Golan Cipel, who McGreevy met in 2000 in Israel and brought to the US. Cipel had threatened to blab McGreevy's secret life unless he was paid a ton of money to "make it go away". Cipel was the state's terrorism czar, but stepped down after a month because lawmakers questioned his qualifications for the job that paid $110,000 a year.
Calif. State Court nullifies SF gay marriages-- The California State Supreme Court voids nearly 4000 same sex marriages, stating that San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom overstepped his bounds by allowing the unions to take place. A 1977 state law defines marriage as being between a man and a woman (unfortunately, I was too young to vote in 1977, being only 13 at the time). Personally, I think the Court should have left the 4000 unions alone and not allowed any more to take place, if that's they way they feel. Why shouldn't same sex couples be allowed to wed? It seems that some 40 years ago, interracial couples couldn't legally marry, and they changed that...so what is so different, other than the fact the the couples are of the same gender? Maybe a change in the law is in order. (And if this pisses you off, see the side bar for the link to the disclaimer).
And, on a sad note-- Julia Child, the grand dame of chefs, died in her sleep Thursday at the age of 91 at home in Santa Barbara, according to her publisher. May she rest in peace. I know I've enjoyed her shows over the years.
