What in the World is Going ON?!?!?!

I couldn’t decide which of these articulars to opine about today, so I’m briefly summarizing all four along with links to the entire stories.

First up is a serious matter, the Sri Lankan cricket team was ambushed in Pakistan with rifles, grenades and rocket launchers this morning, wounding seven players and an assistant coach from Britain in a brazen assault on South Asia’s most beloved sport. Six policemen and a civilian were killed.

The ambush reinforces perceptions that nuclear-armed Pakistan is veering out of control under militant attack and will end hopes of international cricket teams — or any sports teams — playing in the country for months, if not years. Even before the incident, most cricket teams choose not to tour the country because of security concerns.

Next is a different type of violence, sauce-pan karate. The 70-year-old wife of an Ohio judge said teens who tried to rob her made her so angry that she whacked one in the head with a sauce pan.

The four were caught and charged with aggravated burglary. And somehow Emeril Lagasse has gotten involved… NO JOKE.

Relax. That’s all a 20-year old Nebraskan man wanted his 6-month old cat to do. Acea Schomaker told deputies 6-month-old Shadow was hyper and he was trying to calm her down. So his solution? Stuff her in the 12 inch by 6 inch contraption seen above and smoke some marijuana through it…. Unreal. Although, the man does live in Nebraska, ain’t like he’s got jack else to do.

Schomaker, who was released from jail after paying a $400 fine on the arrest warrant, now faces drug and misdemeanor animal cruelty charges.

Today the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. is scheduled to issue a proclamation by Supervisor Michael Antonovich making the first week in March No Cussing Week. This movement was started by 15-Year old McKay Hatch who apparently founded the “No Cussing Club”, which meets every Wednesday at South Pasadena High School.

“Next year I want to try to get California to have a cuss-free week. And then, who knows, maybe worldwide,” said the 10th grader, who believes if people treat each other with more civility they can better work together to solve bigger problems.

Who knew? All along the solution to the earf’s problems was for all of us to stop f*ckin cussin’….
