Heaters Needed in Miami?

To give you an idea just how cold it has been region wide here is a story from North Miami Beach, Fla. Keep that in mind as I tell you that six people were rushed to the hospital for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning after they decided to use a barbecue grill to stay warm from the winter freeze.

A charcoal barbecue grill.

Rescue crews showed up after the mother called 911 when one of the children fainted. She decided to use the barbecue when her husband couldn’t find a heater because they were sold out. No one was seriously injured.

Of course the heaters were sold out, its Miami! It rarely gets that cold there! There were probably two heaters left for sale from the seventies, when it last snowed there. Most Miami Residents may not know what a heater is. And where is Al Gore in all of this? Somewhere on the equator in shorts saying, "Did you feel that? I think it just got warmer?"

NOT A HEATER


I GOT A FEVER...AND THE ONLY CURE IS MORE SNUGGIE

Continuing with the cold weather news, Snuggie Fever

Snuggies totally baffle me. The things have taken off so much that they are temporarily halting advertising of the snuggie. The cold weather has helped push sales so high that they can’t keep up with demand. It’s a good problem to have for Snuggie. Could the Snuggie be next Christmas’s Rage? Outselling Zhu Zhu’s, Wii’s, and everything else?

Of course there is a knock off the snuggie including a $60 electric version called a “toasty” on sale in spring, Bad Timing… There’s also the “Slanket” and the expensive but strangely appealing “Lippi Selk Bag” that looks like a hazmat suit. Sadly, I kind of want one of the Lippi things.

People would respect me so much more if I wore this

An Example For Those Who Should Be Setting The Example

Newark Residents complaining about getting snow cleared from streets got something they probably didn’t expect… A public servant, that served the public. The servant was the Mayor of Newark
New Year's Eve, barbieblack88 tweeted CoryBooker, the mayor of Newark, to ask when crews were going to clear the streets of snow. Booker responded that they were already out. A few minutes later, BigSixxRaven had a personal plea for Booker: "Can u send someone over 2 my dad's He's going 2 try to shovel. he's 65."
At 7 the next morning, Booker tweeted back: "I will do it myself where does he live?" 20 minutes later, he knocked on the dad's door, shovel and salt in hand and many volunteers in tow. BigSixxRaven tweeted later "My daddy is a happy man," she wrote. "He took pictures of his Mayor shoveling his driveway! lol."

Way to Go Mayor Booker! Thanks for setting the example for politicians world wide. We’ll just forget that whole feud you had with Conan O’Brien.

This Guy Not Likely To Be In The Next Fast and Furious Flick

A man has been jailed on charges he stole $50 from his ex-girlfriend at a western Pennsylvania Wal-Mart store then tried to flee on a store-owned motorized shopping scooter.

Craig David Jr., of Smithfield, faces a preliminary hearing Jan. 13 on robbery and other charges in Tuesday night's incident.

State police Cpl. Chuck Frey says David had just been released from a hospital where he was treated for being hit with a frying pan and a table leg during a domestic dispute Jan. 1. He was still in a hospital gown when he met an ex-girlfriend who agreed to pay for his prescription medication. Instead, police say David grabbed $50 from the woman and scooted away.

David remained in the Fayette County Jail Thursday and doesn't have an attorney.

Yes there is a Picture...

Yeee Haaaa! Just Like Them Duke Boys and The General Lee!!!

--In Carrie Underwood news, Miss Underwood will be making appearances on CBS's "How I met Your Mother" following in the footsteps of one Britney Spears. (Which I thought marked the turn around for Britney personally) Carrie will play an important part with Ted on the show and will influence future events. Its a great show. Check it out.
