The Joys Of Parenting
After a long day at work, this dad settled down for a quick snooze and made the mistake of leaving his big baby unattended. There was a little mischief in the making and the end result left dad wide awake, white as a ghost, and with a broken vase to clean up off the floor. Who said a headache couldn't double as a wake-up call?

Antiques Roadshow Gets Racy
The Antiques Roadshow tends to be a bit on the dull side (unless you like watching people haul junk out of their basements in hopes they've somehow got Leonardo daVinci's original sketch of the "Mona Lisa"). Here, it's livened up by a painting with a curious inscription that provides a bit TMI, much to our hilarity and the owner's discomfort. After all, it is his mother we're laughing about here...
Don't Ask, Don't Tell: Save or Scrap?
Victor Fehrenbach, an F-15 fighter pilot in the US Air Force, has been serving his country with honor for 18 years. In that time, he's flown 88 combat missions, logged 1,500 fighter hours, and received nine air medals. He's gotten word, though, that his record doesn't matter as much as the fact that he is gay.

Skipped Church? Check Out the Pope's New YouTube Channel
The Catholic Church's stance on some issues (such as decriminalizing homosexuality) might seem antiquated, but now the pope can say he's taking steps to enter the modern era. On Friday, the Pope Benedict XVI unveiled his very own YouTube page.
The Vatican hopes to increase the papal audience, while also staying on top of the pope's Internet image.
Changing Everything? Obama Sparks Conversations on Race
Stephen Colbert doesn't see race — people tell him he's white and he believes them because he watches Antique Roadshow — but he does talk about it, which is half the battle. But some black people perceive strategic colorblindness, or avoiding talking about race, as evidence of prejudice.
Thankfully Obama has become an icebreaker into the murky waters of race relations.
Would You Be Sad to See Your Local News Anchor Go?
This weekend the New York Times ran a story about the plight of the local news anchor. Apparently due to the current economic situation and need to cut spending, some cities have realized that it simply costs too much to keep veteran local anchors with extremely high salaries.
According to a study cited in the article, slightly over half of American households still watch local news over big network news or the Internet.
Dear Poll: Have You Ever Had a Secret Admirer?
Perhaps in this day and age when letters have become antiquated, and when a flux of anonymous emails, no matter how sweet, tend to seem creepy, the idea of an honest-to-goodness secret admirer no longer exists. But I’d like to think that it does — remember in Love Actually when Keira Knightley’s character gets the knock at the door from her husband’s best friend with the cards confessing his love? That’s romance!

My husband's parents are moving, and they are getting rid of a lot of their stuff. One of the other things that my father-in-law said he is going to give to us is his antique gun collection. He has a big collection of guns and ammo, and apparently it's worth a decent amount of money.
