Slow news week

The following appeared in the news last week in case you missed them:


Michael Jackson's statue was removed from a London soccer stadium. How it got there is its own story. But the King of Pop was covered  in bubble wrap and exited horizontally. It may go to auction or join a private collection. This reminds one of the line "Elvis has left the building."

Rutgers has updated its Alma Mater after 140 years to accommodate their female population who now number fifty percent of the student body. Other institutions of higher learning who have also done so are Dartmouth, Princeton, Davidson, West Point and Penn State.

Dick Cheney's rifle jammed during an antelope hunt in Wyoming and he failed to get a buck for his team. There were no injuries this time - just a large dose of embarrassment. I wasn't aware he was still handling firearms. They blamed the malfunction on Remington Arms. Somebody has to take the blame.
