Well, it has come to this…

After failing to get BP on-board with James Cameron and Kevin Costner, Hollywood has recruited another celebrity humanitarian with extensive experience that would greatly aid BP in plugging its leak: Richard Gere

Well, we can only hope Richard Gere can finally help BP plug the leak. He is confident that his way will work better than the golf ball technique BP used early in the tragedy. Clearly the voice of experience!

Learn to be a ghost hunter

KEARNEY, Neb. (AP) – People who believe in ghosts will have the chance to learn how to hunt for them in Kearney beginning this month.

The Buffalo County Historical Society has partnered with Midwest Paranormal Investigators to offer “ghost-hunting classes and investigations.” The first one will be held April 30.

Subsequent classes will be held the last Friday of each month through at least September. The classes and investigations will be held at historical buildings in Kearney.

The fee to participate is $50 and includes a class and subsequent investigation.

Registration forms are due to Jennifer Murrish of the Buffalo County Historical Society at least a week before each class. To receive a form, call her at (308)234-3041.

Oh, would I give ANYTHING to be able to attend these ghost hunting classes if not for just the hilarity of such ridiculousness. Modern day snake-oil salesman profiting off the silliness that people get out ignorant fantasy.

Zero Tolerance policies are always ridiculous. I question the sanity of any teacher that would flip out at finding herself in the crossfire of a finger gun shoot-out. As a teacher, she should have used that as a teachable moment for the child and explained how something like that would be inappropriate at school… but no…instead she chose to flip out and pretend to be afraid for her life.
