11.04.09:  TODAY IS...
Use Your Common Sense Day... like Will Roger's said, though, "Common sense ain't all that common."

National Candy Day


"MOST SEARCHED" FOR TODAY

"last night's elections" - The GOP came stormin' back in yesterday's elections. Republicans claimed victory in the New Jersey and Virginia governor's races. President Obama campaigned for both candidates in states he took last year's election. MSNBC reports that GOP victories yesterday are "a setback for Obama as he struggles to overhaul the U.S. health care system, win passage of climate change legislation, and build political support for the war in Afghanistan." Could this also be a ominous sign for Democrats in next year's midterm election? If history is a guide, then the answer is yes.


"nicolas cage broke" - Is Nicolas Cage broke? The man that demands $20 million a picture "is heading for financial doom," some say this morning. He owes the IRS $6.3 million in back taxes, he's suing his former business manager for mishandling his money, and he's selling off property like crazy. There's no doubt he's praying that his next flick, "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans," is a run away smash hit. (Hey Nick -- piece of advice -- STOP BUYING CASTLES! The heating bills are outrageous!)


"tmobile down" - T Mobile users saw their service drop out yesterday afternoon for a while. Service dropped out for most users around 5:30pm, and stayed down for about an hour.


"aisha tyler" - Dartmouth grad and Nip/Tuck star Aisha Tyler has reportedly been given the green light for a talk show on ABC. The show will mix comedy and political chatter -- think Daily Show. Here's a picture of Aisha and her new hubby, Jeff Tietjens, a lawyer she met at Dartmouth. http://tinyurl.com/yfwztky

JOKE OF THE DAY
A proof that men have better friends:

A woman didn't come home one night. Next morning she told her husband she had slept over at a friends house. Husband calls her 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it.
