NOVEMBER HEADLINES

Headlines November 2012

Halloween has just ended. A news article appeared about an amputee, Josh Sundquist, who’s Halloween outfit won a contest by looking similar to the famous ‘leg’ lamp from the movie "The Christmas Story”. If you haven’t seen the movie…you should…if you haven’t seen the picture of Sundquist in his outfit…you should. Both are funny.

Apparently some in the news want us to feel sorry for child-molester, ex-Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky, because he was put in a prison in an inconvenient location to his lawyers, family and friends. I don’t feel sorry. There isn’t a prison far enough away, as far as I’m concerned.

Professional basketball player James Harden played for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA last year. You may have seen pictures of him. He’s the one with the close-cropped hair…but a full, bushy, black beard. I guess his contract was up after last season with Oklahoma City and they offered him a new contract to stay longer…if he would accept $54 million dollars to stay and play basketball for them. That check would look like this when it’s written down on that little money line on our checks… $54,000,000.00.

Well…Mr. Harden didn’t think that was a good idea…so he went a little further south…to the Houston Rockets…and they wrote him a check that looks like this…$80,000,000.00

I guess Mr. Harden knew what he was doing.

I wish I’d have practiced a little harder at learning how to play basketball when I was younger!
