VACATION HANGOVER Is when you come back from vacation and don't feel like doing anything you normally do.  Like work.  And housecleaning.  And laundry.  Hopefully this will be over soon. And I didn't win Powerball.  Sigh.

CONGRESSMAN BRETT GUTHRIE AT 9:35  Of course the fiscal cliff will be the topic of conversation.

HEY COPPER, C'MON GET ME.  OR DON'T. The LMPD has changed it's policy on pursuits.  When I first saw the headline, I thought they had completely defanged the police.  In reality, they are merely limiting chases to violent felonies.  I'm okay with that.  Especially when it seems to be completely innocent people killed when stupid criminals run.  Your thoughts?

IS THIS MAGIC CARPET? They are recarpeting the Guvnah's office, which is fine.  Carpet wears out and needs to be replaced.  But $29,000 to redo 679 square yards?  Couldn't they have gone to Lowe's?  Good grief, does this carpet fly? 

MAYORING DOESN'T PAY WHAT IT USED TO The Mayor of Olive Hill got busted for selling pot.  Seriously.  I bet his city council meetings were awesome. 

WHY UNIONS STINK PART #4869 One port in LA was offline yesterday because the clerical workers are striking.  Skip the nonsense Labor sent out about this and skip the explanation of what the OCU is asking for from the actual employers.  Your head will explode.  The average employee takes off three and half months a year.  Paid.  And they are striking.  No, I'm not kidding.

WHAT BABY NAMES ARE FLYING OFF THE SHELVES?  I don't know why, but most popular baby names is always one of my favorite annual lists.  Sophia and Aiden are it this year.  But Quinn broke the top 100!  Go Q!
