The crazy mug shots just keep rolling in.  The latest is the story of the doofus from Ohio who dressed up as a breathalyzer for Halloween only to be pulled over and charged with a DUI.

I'm not sure what more ridiculous, the costume, the fact that he was arrested and failed the same thing he was dressed as or the location of the "Blow Here" tube.

It seems like a "Wanna Get Away" Southwest Airlines commercial come to life.

Ever since the Al Gore invented the internets, celebrity mug shots have been have been bigger than ever.  Rip Torn and Nick Nolte were two of the all-time winners.  Every so often, non-celebs hit the big time.

The latest winners are two knuckleheads from Iowa who allegedly drew on the faces prior to attempting to break into an apartment.  The two have been charged with attempted second-degree burglary.

I do believe that people are innocent until proven guilty.  The problem is these two literally have guilt written all over their faces.

The pink worn at all NFL stadiums this weekend by players, coaches and referees is to bring attention to breast cancer awareness.  This is a cause that is near and dear to everyone.  Whether it is your wife, girlfriend, sister, mother or grandmother, breast cancer is a disease that touches nearly everyone.  It is the most common cause of death in women between the ages of 20 and 59.

This recent Save The Boobs PSA drew a lot of attention with some asking if it was too racy.  If it saves lives, no. 

It's the eighth inning with your team five outs away from a trip to the World Series.  The stadium is abuzz with excitement as everyone can taste victory and is getting ready for the achievement they've been waiting their entire lives for.  This is a sure thing. 

All of the sudden a freak, unexpected play sets off a chain reaction that brings your world crashing down around you.  A huge buzz kill has ripped through your fandom that is so strong, you lose the next game and go home empty handed, again.

The city of Chicago not only lost it's bid for hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics but was knocked out in the first round.  When the votes were counted and released, it wasn't even close.  Many "experts" speculated that the star power assembled behind the Chicago bid would be too much for the other cities and a Chicago victory was a sure thing.

In the end, the desire of the International Olympic Committee to stage a Summer Olympic Games in South America won out.  The people of Chicago were not so much angry as shocked.  Everyone said we were in there.  They said it was between Chicago and Rio.  Instead it was between Madrid, with a last minute plea from former IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch on his death bed, and Rio. Chicago didn't even make it out of the first round of the playoffs, again.

How could it have gone so wrong, so unlike everyone said it would be?  What did the IOC members see that could have swayed them so completely one sided?

Our President let his inner Geek Flag fly yesterday as Olympic and Paralympic representatives showed up at the White House to draw attention to Chicago's bid for the 2016 games.  In order for the President to spar with a fencer, he was given a Light Saber toy and did what all Star Wars fans do as soon as they're handed one... he started buzzing like a light saber.

There have been plenty of photos and videos of the event but my favorite is one featuring a poor soul who "picked" the wrong time to go excavating.  If it is a family photo, that's one thing but when you are attending a media session at the White House, the photo of you going fishing in Lake Boogerville will now be a historic document.

Poor guy.

As the generation of Baby Boomers enter their late 60s and early 70s, the passing of celebrities from the 1950s through the 1970s will happen more and more.

Tonight comes news that Henry Gibson of Laugh-In fame and Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary have joined the growing list.

My fondest memory of Henry Gibson is not even a role where he appeared on camera.  It is his role as the voice of Wilbur the pig from the 1973s animated version of Charlotte's Web.  I loved that film as a child and loved the enthusiasm Gibson brought to the character.

Mary Travers of course was the female voice behind Puff the Magic Dragon.  Enough Said.

Good bye to both of you and thank you for all you gave us.

There are things that one misses out on when they are caught up in the whirl wind world of a rock and roll life style.  Once the starship lands, you can attempt to get caught up.  Unfortunately, real life tends to keep coming at you so there is no true catching up.  It more like moving on to the next thing and leaving the unresolved items behind.

I will not attempt to catch up on two things that have been in the media spotlight.  At least they are here in Chicago.

First up... The Bears. 

I missed all of Sunday's game thanks to Bono and band.  From the result and what I've heard post-mortem, it is three hours I would not be able to get back and time much better spent with the biggest band on the planet.  Besides losing the game and Cutler possibly having the worst quarterback debut in team history, there were a number of injuries including losing middle linebacker Brian Urlacher for the season with a dislocated wrist induced, season ending surgery session on Monday.  This could not get worse, could they.  Unfortunately, the NFL schedules gods did not shine on the Bears in week two.  Instead of the tonic for whatever ails you, the Detroit Lions, they get the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.  Hello 0 and 2.

At the same time the Bears stumbled out of the gate, Kanye West was similarly disassembling his career, I hope, over on MTV with the MTV Video Music Awards.  By now, everyone's seen his stage storming and ruining a lifetime memory for poor Taylor Swift. 

She's a simple country girl was so so shocked and upset, she reportedly spent most of the time afterward crying.  The guy is a schmuck, a loudmouth and a loose cannon.  He's apologized on his blog, Jay Leno and reportedly with a phone call to Swift after her appearance on the View today.  If this was an isolated incident, I'd say good enough, let's move on.  But it's not.  Sure George Bush hates black people but there's such a thing as appropriate behavior and he is the king of getting it wrong.  I'd like to see his career end and him end up the media pariah that it looks like he might finally be. 

Unfortunately, in the current age of Rude-America that we live in, I tend to doubt it.  Instead, we'll get copy cats. 

Finally, there is news today that members of both parties agree with the President on one subject.  Again, with the term journalistic ethics being made up of mutually exclusive words, another 'off-the-record' comment hits the Twitter.  And Terry Moran is now Terry Moron.

It was forty years ago, July 20, 2009, that man first set foot on the moon.  NASA has made a number of videos available on YouTube.

You may have heard that among the hysteria of losing Farrah and Jacko on Thursday, we also lost Jeff Goldblum.  Thanks to Steven Colbert, we have gotten to the truth of this story.

Breaking News on the Chicago Tribune website reports that our favorite TV pitchman Billy Mays has passed.  He was found at home by his wife and foul play is not expected.  Dang it!!!
