      Okay, what's going on here? This isn't "News for Youse". This is a weak imitation. I will try to pick up the slack:

      - Anybody who opens a restaurant called "American Cheesesteak Factory" should probably expect to shed his mortal coil earlier, rather than later ... and so should his customers. But he was definitely cool and energetic, and not too hard on the eyes. 29 is way too soon. Sorry he's gone.

      - The dimwits who lose their internet connection today because of that DNS Changer thing won't know that they've lost their internet connection because of that DNS Changer thing. Because they are Facebook drones. Is it true that the FBI has offered tinfoil hats to those who think it's all a government conspiracy?

      - "Poverty-reduction" plans are interesting, but they never work. An "income-enhancement" plan might be a feasible alternative.

      - Summer. Pools. Children. Enough said. Sad, but anybody who has ever owned a 20-month-old knows that taking your eyes off them is like climbing into the back seat to get your cellphone while hurtling down the highway at 120 kph.

      - When will the BC Liberals slam Mike Farnworth for learning CPR at public expense? When will they cut the funding for CPR training?

      - As much as we all love to hate "the Biebs", he was nabbed for driving about 100 mph on a Los Angeles freeway. Ever driven on a Los Angeles freeway? I have. Ever seen anybody doing 100 mph or less? I haven't - not even on the off-ramps.
