Kindly Done

Charlie Sheen is donating $1M to the USO.

It's the largest single contribution ever from an individual to the USO.

Charlie Sheen announced today that he'll donate 1% of the profits from his new FX show Anger Management to the USO. He guaranteed a minimum of $1 million will go to the organization. And, there's an unlimited cap on the final donation, he says in a release from his rep.

"His support is greatly appreciated, especially from our wounded warriors and their families," says Gen. John I. Pray, Jr., executive vice president of the USO.

I have to label this one as hoodah thunkit? But it's kindly done. I have plenty of good memories of the USO, both as a serviceman availing myself of their services and as a USO volunteer helping other servicemen. It's a great organization.

Gee, Liberals Concerned About States' Rights...

Son of the Year

Roger Paul Brown of Morristown, Florida, pawned his 81-year-old mother's wedding ring and other jewelry while she was hospitalized.

The article doesn't say, but I'm guessing he snorted the proceeds up his nose.

Pic of Hoodah Thunkit

Since I refer to Hoodah Thunkit a lot, I thought I'd provide a little more information on her. She's a 55-year-old widow living at 14 Bog Lane, Midgehole, West Yorkshire, England. Here's her pic:



Hoodah's late husband Reg Thunkit, died in a tragic auto-erotic asphyxiation accident. Here's a pic of the late Reg:

Liberals will, of course, say it's because he wasn't paid enough.

We Can Deal With Your Spinal Injury...

Treating spinal injuries with a blue food dye could have the side-effect of leaving the patient dyed blue.

The People's Republic of China has changed its method of execution from firing squad to lethal injection, in order to spare the executioners excessive trauma.

Sugar Bans Don't Work

Pupils at a leading grammar school could be suspended for secretly selling sweets in the playground.

The warning comes after a pupil-run sweet 'racket' was foiled by staff at St Anselm's College in Birkenhead, Merseyside.

A number of entrepreneurial children were found to be cashing in on the government ban on junk food at schools, by selling sweets and fizzy drinks to fellow classmates.

Rather than encourage their business minds, the school has clamped down on the 'outbreak of sweet selling' in the playground and on the bus.

Headteacher Simon Duggan fears the practice encourages fights and theft and says it will not be tolerated.

Gee, hoodah thunkit? You think that Prohibition and bans on guns would have given them a clue?

Al Capone, Composer

Gangster Al Capone, while serving time in Alcatraz for tax evasion, apparently composed a love song he called "Madonna Mia."

Now it's being recorded to CD and will be available on the internet.

It's not Capone singing it, of course, but he wrote it and presumably the music, and lyrics (if any) are his.

It'll be interesting to hear as a curiosity, anyway.

"'I've Cut My Arm Off.' But He Could See That."

It must have been the arterial spray that clued him in.

A man slowly regains the use of his arm after severing it in a chainsaw accident and having it reattached surgically.
