News... 

It's been a while  since I've posted an entry about news:

Francis Crick, a co-discoverer of the DNA structure, passed away at 88 years old, from colon cancer. 

Governor George Pataki, NY, vetoed a bill that would have raised the state's hourly minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.15.  His concern was that the raise would have driven businesses out of NY to the bordering states with the $5.15 hourly wage.
Hmmm...maybe if the bordering states raised the hourly wage to. 
I know that people would just love to have an increase wage.  It's about time for wages to be increased because the cost of living isn't cheap.

Hmmm...is she lying or not?  It's been discovered that Kobe Bryant's accuser has received $17K from a victims' compensation fund.  Bryant's attorneys want to enter this information as evidence as an incentive to wrongly accuse Bryant.

A Bowie, MD woman was arrested by Metro police for eating a candy bar (PayDay) at the metro station. 
Now, should she have been arrested or not?  Metro does have signs that state that eating, drinking and other stuff are prohibited on the Metro.  However, one might think that more attention should have been diverted to suspected terrorist activities, especially with all the talk about terrorism. 
Just a warning, don't eat or drink on the Metro...or else...

Yo, Ridor...guess what?  Wal-Mart is challenging the zoning bill recently passed in Montgomery County. 

M. Night Shyamalan's The Village has gotten some good reviews.  It opens today.  I definitely wanna check out this movie.  It's been said this is Shyamalan's best film adaption, even though it does not have the same elements as his previous adaptions like Sixth Sense, Unbreakable,  and The Signs. 

Sigh...it's supposed to rain all weekend and the first part of next week. 

That's all, folks!  ta ta...
