Happy day after the 4th! Hope you all didn’t roll into work too, too late this morning (although I’m guessing you did because my commute was a breeze).
In honor of the holiday, Harvard released a study showing that attending July 4th celebrations raises children’s chances of becoming Republicans. I think you’ll find the logic on this one interesting. Read here.
Comedy Central announced this morning that it will host a Charlie Sheen roast. It will be taped September 10 and air September 19, which just so happens to be the night that the first episode of Two and a Half Men with replacement Ashton Kutcher will air. With all the craziness that is Charlie Sheen, this roast has potential to go on for many, many hours.
Prince William and Kate had a fun weekend in Canada! They competed against each other in a dragon boat race at Prince Edward Island. Will won. His prize: a bottle of champagne. Check out People magazine’s photo gallery to see what else the royal couple did this weekend!
This is the reason I stick to non-risky hobbies like singing Disney songs and watching chick flicks: A Boise woman has been banned from all WalMarts in America because of her “extreme couponing” hobby.
I’ve always wondered about this… Are expiration dates really accurate or is the company just trying to get me to throw stuff out and buy more? Good Morning America did some mythbusting! Watch:
