Government health officials are now strongly recommending residents still living in FEMA trailers following Hurricane Katrina, be relocated. Due to dangerously high levels of formaldehyde present in the FEMA trailers used for the past two years as temporary housing, the CDC is issuing a warning stating that the trailers are toxic enough to cause burning eyes and breathing problems for people who have asthma or sensitivity to air pollutants.

Fumes from 519 trailer and mobile homes in Louisiana and Mississippi average five times the level that people are exposed to in most modern homes, according to the US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention. Mike McGeehin, director of a CDC division, that focuses on environmental hazards said, "we do not want people exposed to this for very much longer." The CDC is making a statement regarding this situation right now, and is planning to visit each trailer delivering this information.

Do you think this is too little, too late? What will have to happen to get displaced residents, housing? Why were the trailers unsafe to begin with?

I don't think I've ever knowingly put my nose next to a man doused in Axe Body Spray, but apparently it's potent enough to make you endorse even your fiercest rivals.

What do you think? Does this ad campaign stink?

These days just about anyone can have a reality show, and new ones seem to spring up everyday. Recently, Denise Richards signed on to do her own reality show, which according to BuzzSugar will focus on her daughters and her high-profile divorce.

I don't think we've seen the divorce theme yet, though we have seen the newlywed, the engaged, the just dating, the thinking about having a baby, and the raising kids themes. Apparently just about everyone's life has a theme — at least when it's condensed into an hour a week. So I want to know is, if they were to make a reality show out of your life — the good, the bad, and the ugly — what would its theme be?

In a eulogy for Hezbollah militant, Imad Mughniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah leveled a serious threat at the Israeli nation he blames for the killing of Mughniyeh. Mughniyeh died in a car bomb attack on Tuesday in Syria. He is thought to be the mastermind behind the attacks that killed hundreds of Americans in Lebanon in the 1980s.

In remarks aimed at Israel, Hassan Nasrallah said this of Imad Mughniyeh's killing,

'You have killed Hajj Imad outside the natural battlefield. You have crossed the borders. With this murder, its timing, location and method — Zionists, if you want this kind of open war, let the whole world listen: Let this war be open.''

Hezbollah has long maintained that it only fights Israel within Lebanon and along their common border. These remarks could foreshadow a dangerous departure from that strategy.

If you'd like to see a future post shaking out Hezbollah and the relationship between Israel and Lebanon, let us know.
