AP Wire Story
========================================
Minneapolis, MN (AP) -

A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a Minneapolis courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Minnesota Vikings, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Are you laughing?

...and can you spell "ridiculous?" Well... it's pretty obvious from my last post that I can't!!!

Anyway, one of my NY (that's New Year's) resolutions is to try to keep this page updated a bit more often. But I guess I wouldn't count on it if I were you!

I recently received an email from a friend entitled "Are you laughing?" that was attributed to Ben Stein... do you recognize that name? The TV show "Win Ben Stein's Money," the eyedrop commercials... of course, the all time classic... "Ferris Bueller's Day Off!" Ben Stein was the economics teacher! "Bueller... Bueller... Bueller... Bueller..." and "Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before?"

If you want to learn more about this guy, click here: http://www.benstein.com/bio.html... facinating!

So I got this email, and I thought it was something others might like to see... now like most things on the internet, one can't be sure of it's authenticity, but if it is real, its very interesting, and if its made up, its still something to think about!

Something not to laugh about…

If they know of him at all, many folks think Ben Stein is just a quirky actor/comedian who talks in a monotone. He's also a very intelligent attorney who knows how to put ideas and words together in such a way as to sway juries and make people think clearly.

Herewith at this happy time of year, a few confessions from my beating heart: I have no %&$%*#% clue who Nick and Jessica are. I see them on the cover of People and Us constantly when I am buying my dog biscuits and kitty litter.

I often ask the checkers at the grocery stores. They never know who Nick and Jessica are either. Who are they? Will it change my life if I know who they are and why they have broken up? Why are they so important?

I don't know who Lindsay Lohan is either, and I do not care at all about Tom Cruise's wife.

Am I going to be called before a Senate committee and asked if I am a subversive?

Maybe, but I just have no clue who Nick and Jessica are.

If this is what it means to be no longer young. It's not so bad.

Next confession:

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution, and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him?

I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too.

But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came from and where the America we knew went to.

From the sublime to the ridiculous...
