This might be some old Hillary Clinton news, but it’s new to me so you’re going to hear about it.

You might have noticed, or maybe not, that during the past 3 months Senator Hillary Clinton kept repeating this amazing tale about when she was the First Lady she went to Bosnia with daughter Chelsea. The story goes that while on the plan, getting ready to land they experienced an attack by sniper fire and barely landed in tact. Then she and Chelsea had to hurry off the plane and run for cover while the bullets flew.

Amazing right? And she used this story to PROVE that she has more experience and she is more ready to be the President of the United States than Senator Obama. Well, the only flaw here is that the story is a blatant lie. Senator Clinton DID take a trip as First Lady to Bosnia with Chelsea but they weren’t under fire. In fact, just about a week ago video of this trip surfaced. The real story goes, the two landed at the Bosnia plan strip without incidence, getting off the plan they waved to some people who were there, sauntered over slowly to a line of people waiting to shake her hand and they both smiled for the camera’s and shook everyones hands.

Kind of a different story there.

When confronted with this evidence, instead of apologizing or admitting the lie, what do you think Senator Clinton said? Her response was what she simply “misspoke” about the incident and that this doesn’t prove she’s unfit to be the President, what it shows is that she is merely human and makes mistakes.

Call it a blunder, call it a little (giant) white one, call it whatever you like as long as you don’t call it a mistake. That’s just unforgivable in my book, lying about something like that. You know though, once I I told my friends about this time I went to a mall where there were bomb threats and they wouldn’t let anyone leave. They locked us in the dressing rooms and had bomb sniffing dogs and then they started firing at anyone who got in the way of finding that bomb and I got shot in the arm and nearly bled to death. Then a few days later I remember that I DID go to the mall but I only got a hot dog at the food court and spilled ketchup on my arm. Similar experience. I guess I just misspoke. Whoops.

Robin Williams and his wife Marcia Garces Williams have been married for 19 years, which is amazing in Hollywood, but something must not be amazing because it was reported that Marcia Garces filed for divorce last week. The reason? Irreconcilable differences of course, what else would it be?

So I’ll just say it, divorce really sucks and it’s really sad that these two kids couldn’t make it work, but when you learn how they got together, it’s actually more of a surprise that they lasted so long.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Marcia Garces was a nanny for Robin Williams and his first wifes son Zachary. So, Robin Williams boinked the nanny, left his wife and married the nanny shortly after. I’m sure it was a smooth transition for little Zachary.

I’m not going to say I’m happy about the divorce, because it doesn’t really mean anything for me, and sure I am still sad for Robin Williams, but given these two hurt his innocent spouse that way . . . I just can’t be too broken up about this break up.

PS Doesn’t Robin Williams TOTALLY look like Bono in that picture? Wow.

Here’s a weird story about a robbery gone stupid for you to chew on.

In Chicago an 18 year old kid burst into a muffler shop waving a gun and demanded that the employee’s open the safe and give him all the money in it. The workers told the kid that only the manager knew how to open the safe and he was going to be out for a few hours.

This did NOT deter the stupid kid from trying to rob these guys. What did he do? He asked for a pen and paper, wrote down his cell phone number and asked the employee’s to please call him when the manager came back so that he could resume robbing them. Ummm!

So instead when the stupid kid left the employees of the muffler shop called the cops, explained what happened and the cops set up a sting. You know, they went to the shop undercover, told the employees to call the kid and tell him the manager was back. Guess what? The kid cam rushing over and when he got there, again waiving his gun, there were the cops. Of course he went nuts so they shot him in the leg, but he’s going to be ok . . . at least physically. His mental state has been a question from the get go.

Moral of the story? If you try to rob a place and the only one who knows the combo to the safe is gone, just walk away. Just back up out of that place like you were neeeever there. DON’T leave incriminating stuff behind for the cops to get you. Okay?

Well, we continue to be jerks, day after day. This time it’s not just attitude, it’s dumping on the Earth. So I would peronally like to say to all of you (myself included) . . . thanks for killing the Earth.

It was reported today by CNN that a huge chunk of ice from the Antarctic called Wilkins shelf has suddenly collapsed. How big was this chunk? Oh I dunno, how about the seven times the size of Manhattan? Could you imagine most of New York suddenly breaking down and washing away? I can’t!

Many scientists agree that global warming is putting glacial ice at risk, so this Antarctic break is a huge blow to the glacial system. British Antarctic Survey scientist David Vaughan agrees and thinks that what happened with this collapse was caused by global warming. Vaughn actually predicted this piece would break off, but not for 15 more years.

According to CNN, “The rest of the Wilkins ice shelf, which is about the size of Connecticut, is holding on by a narrow beam of thin ice. Scientists worry that it too may collapse. Larger, more dramatic ice collapses occurred in 2002 and 1995.”

Come on guys, stop killing the Earth. Be good to her or she’ll hurt you BAD!

What is it with the human race? We’re ALL jerks! I mean, it’s not enough that we have to evolve because being an ape is SO uncool. Then we have to get semi-intelligent brains (a bit more than the monkey brains) and what do we do with it? “Wow we have so much knowledge now, we should totally build a solely industrialist society and slowly, but surely, kill Mother Earth!” So we did that. Progress eh?

What made me think of this little gem of information to pass along to my sparkling blog readers? I frequent this gas station near my place of work. I don’t go there to get gas for my car because the prices are outrageous, but they have a nice little convenience store that has their own little sandwich making shop right in it. Let me tell you buddy, they have the BEST sandwiches.

Anyway, I also go there for the pleasant service. There are 3 of the cutest nicest old guys working there and you can tell they really enjoy it when they say hello and you, oh I dunno, actually answer back! Basically, I have a good time inserting myself in passing conversation with these guys.

I went to the gas station this morning to get a Frappuccino to start the day off with a bang and I talk with one of the guys and I take my stuff and he says “Now you have a great day ma’am.” And I turned around, you know, because we are human beings, and said, “Hey thanks! You too!” Exciting right?

Well I don’t know what crawled up in the behind of the girl next in line, but she was a jerk. She gets up to the counter and the guy is ringing up her stuff and says “Good morning!” (mind you it’s 9:30 so it’s not even early enough to reasonably be an ass because you are tired) and she’s silent and won’t look up. He says “Will you be needing a bag?” because she has a fountain drink and some gum so who knows? She replies, “Ugh! Nooooo. *giant sigh*” really loudly like . . . she really needs everyone to know she’s annoyed and being mean to a little old guy.

Really? She just couldn’t help but be a jerk? She couldn’t just say “Morning” and “No bag for me.” Would it have been SO much harder for her? Would it have made her day so terrible NOT to be a jerk? Sure I blog rudely about everyone behind their backs, but you better believe if I met Mariah Carey I’d be nice to her face. And besides this beautiful blog, I’m actually nice to people in general. So I just don’t get why people have to be mean for no apparent reason.

The point is kids, be nice. Be nice to the human beings around you (even if you are talking smack behind their backs) and that goes double for the elderly. People who are jerks to the elderly must pay in hell (unless it’s that guy hitting every kid walking past his house with a broom then you’re okay).

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone has a Hipity Hopity Easter holiday. What a giant Easter bunnie, colored eggs, ham and chocolate has to do with Christ rising from the dead is WAY beyond me. But you know, His birth is all about a fat guy sneaking into your house at night to give you presents you don’t deserve so . . .?

Go have an egg sandwich. That bunny is freaking creepy.

There’s not a whole lot going on right now so I thought it would be a good time to share with you, if you haven’t already seen, the YouTube video of Barack Obama’s “A More Perfect Union” speech in response to some disparaging comments his friend Reverend Wright said that caused a huge controversy earlier this week.

If you haven’t heard this speech you MUST hear it. You don’t have to want to vote for Senator Obama to view the video, heck you don’t even have to like him one bit. But it’s undeniable how cool this speech is. I’m telling ya, Barack Obama is the Bomba.

Baby Blog Alert

Welp, it’s official, Halle Berry is a mom! Halle Berry gave birth to her first baby ever, a girl. No word yet what her name will be but sources say mom and baby are healthy and doing well.

The Associated Press reported that although they are having a baby together “Berry had said she and Aubry don’t plan to marry, but feel fully committed to each other.”

Honestly, if I had Halle Berry’s track record with men (not completely her fault!) I doubt marriage would be the first thing on my list either. You can be a committed little family without that piece of paper.

Congrats to Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry!

UPDATE: Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry have decided to name their baby Nahla Ariela Aubry. I don’t even know how one would even possibly pronounce that name. Apparently though it means “drink of water”. Maybe they were afraid she’d grow up to be…unattractive and wanted to associate her name with something that exudes beauty. You know, “That girl is a tall drink of water.”

Sad news today as the drummer from the hit 70’s and 80’s group, ABBA, was found dead in his garden Sunday night.

Ola Brunkert, 62 years old, was found dead in his garden with cuts to his neck. Fortunately, and unfortunately, after an autopsy the incident was declared an accident.

According to MSN, “The spokesman said Brunkert hit his head against a glass door in his dining room, shattering the glass and cutting himself in the neck. He managed to wrap a towel around his neck and left the house to seek help, but collapsed in the garden.”

A truly unfortunate accident and a great loss for the world. ABBA was great and it took each member of that band to make it so. Brunkert wasn’t only ABBA’s drummer, he was also a jazz drummer for some prominent Jazz bands and was said to have tons of talent.

The Daily Brew’s thoughts and prayers go out to Ola Brunkert’s family at this time.

Baby Blog Alert!

Last night while watching The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, which I never do, I found out that Minnie Driver is pregnant! And a gorgeous pregnant woman she is too . . . also a hilarious one.

I didn’t get to see the whole thing, but from what I did see and what I read Minnie Driver doesn’t want to reveal who the father is and a few times when the male half of this thing was mentioned, the look on her face says it all. She’s definately happy to be having a little one, but she’s not so keen on who the father is.

When Jay asked her about morning sickness she said she’s had it morning, afternoon and night, which I’ve been hearing happens a lot lately (something in the water?) and she has suddenly got a huge aversion to eggs and that being pregnant feels like a “body snatchers” experience. But she was just being cute. You can tell she’s loving it.

So of course everyone wants to know if it’s a boy or girl, are there one or two? But Minnie Driver doesn’t even know that. According to E! News Driver said, “I feel like it’s one of the last great mysteries of life. I don’t want to know.”
