Is It or Isn't It
     Evidently, people in Wisconsin are able to buy lions over the internet.(Wish i'd known that when I was a resident.) Why they would want to buy a lion is a mystery, but remember, this is Wisconsin. Anyway, right now they think that there is a loose lion in Milwaukee. Again, I'm not sure why they don't know for sure, but that's their problem. Actually, the only thing they have to go on is a cell phone picture of a "Lion-ish like animal," which was enough to get the Milwaukee area scared.
     A man thought he saw this lion and shot it. It turned out to be a pit bull. I mean, we all know how much a pit bull resembles a lion. It turned out the man was not that good a shot anyway, so the dog just has a damaged leg and is getting the best medical treatment a dog can expect in Wisconsin. Hope he has good insurance.

Jewelry for the Woman Who Has Everything
     In Rhode Island several woman are complaining. Why? They sent their breast milk to a jeweler with the promise that it would be made into keepsakes. They paid their money, but so far have not received any jewelry. Surprise! Surprise! I'm as shocked as anyone to think this might be a scam.

A Bit of History
     During his 1956 presidential campaign, a woman called out to Adlai Stevenson: "Senator, you have the vote of every thinking person!" Stevenson called back: "That's not enough, madam, we need a majority!" Truer words were never spoken. I wonder what he'd say today.

Today's Prayer
     "Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the friends to post my bail when I finally snap!"
