More Wacky, Weird, and Wild World News for Your Wednesday

Well, it's Hump Day once again, so to break up the monotony of this workweek, I'm going discuss some crazy current events. From the Duggar Family to health care to Afghanistan, there's a lot of wacky stuff going on in this crazy sphere today. So, here goes:
In general weirdness, the Duggars (as in Jim Bob, Michelle, & Co.-- the prodigious procreators from Arkansas) have welcomed their 19th J-named offspring, Josie Brooklyn, into the world. Josie is three months premature and weighed under two pounds at birth. I'm sorry, but I hope this is a wake up call to this family that there are other ways to prove your holiness besides extreme breeding.
In political news, the single-payer health-care bill died in the Senate. Oh, well, we just have to keep pushing on this one. Also, I'm still optimistic about President Obama's Afghanistan strategy. Here's the deal, folks: This is a means to an end. I predict we'll be on our way out of the Middle East by the end of the president's first term in office.
Lastly, in Ashleyverse news, tomorrow is the last day of the semester. Incidentally, today is also the third anniversary of my graduation from "regular college." On Sat., Dec. 16, 2006, I received my bachelor of arts degree in English from EIU. So, I have a few things to celebrate tonight. Accordingly, I will now sign off to do just that. Until next time, peace in all things.
