Happy Hour: January 6, 2011

Today was a day for politics and US affairs!

• Two packages exploded in US government buildings in Maryland
• A new Chief of Staff was named: William M Daley
• The Pentagon is seeking the biggest military cut since before 9/11
• The House budget chairman warns of more cuts to come soon
• And during the reading of the US Constitution in the House today, it was obvious how strained relations are going to be

Reading all these stories made me feel really prideful of my country... even with all its flaws, I just really felt excited about our future as a country... I just feel like something's coming. Maybe I'm crazy?

The entertainment world news was a little slower today, but Hollywood never sleeps...

• Lindsay Lohan is out and about, and trying to live her life.
• Ellen Weiss, the top NPR official, is stepping down.
• John Edwards married his mistress, Rielle Hunter. Douchebag.
• And "golden" voice Ted Williams reunited with his mom for the first time in about 20 years... which is really sweet.
• The People's Choice Awards were last night... did you watch them?
• And the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, & 42 came back to haunt the lottery yesterday.

"The numbers are bad," Jorge Garcia ("Hurley") headlined,
"When Will People Learn?"

Well, I'm off to the Cotton Bowl tomorrow,

so there won't be a Happy Hour. 

{Have a great weekend!}
