this day

OK, so it wasn't today but it was yesterday that Ed Bradley died. Which means that rule of 3's and 6's is in effect. Ed Bradley was number two, who will be the third?
In a nod to technological advancement, rumor is that Britney dumped Kevin via text message. I guess if the British courts can rule that it is legal to fire someone via text message, the same would apply to divorce. I'm just waiting for the first celebrity marriage proposal via text message. Not to be sidetracked by the news, Kevin's album entered at 151. Which means someone bought his album. I want to know who, so I can go kick them in the nuts.
A good PR move for Abby Cornish (whom Christy blames the break-up of Ryan and Reese on), she didn't show up to the premiere of her new movie, Candy. Hopefully, this whole thing with Phillipe and her will blow over, but until then, the only questions she'd be entertaining are those types. Which would not be good for the film and maybe her career in the short-term. In about a month we won't remember her name and then will re-emerge with Phillipe at the premiere of Stop Loss.

This day 231 years ago, the Continental Congress passed a resolution for the creation of two battalions of soldiers that would one day become US Marines. Semper fi!

Oh! Also, the first direct-dial coast-to-coast telephone service began this day in 1951. Ha, that was the start of the end huh?

In 1970, a whole week ended without a single American casualty in Vietnam. Awesome huh?

Well, tomorrow is Veteran's Day. Or as I call it, Hug-A-Veteran Day. Show some love for our men and women in uniform. Even if you don't agree with war, they probably don't either. Still, they serve and defend this country.
