Chelsea Buries the Lead

So Chelsea Clinton is engaged. The best part of the story is how she told her friends; by mass email. He popped the question between turkey and pie. The next day she sent out the email.

The AP has the actual email which reads: " We're sorry for the mass email but we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving! We also wanted to share that we are engaged! We didn't get married this past summer despite the stories to the contrary, but we are looking toward next summer and hope you all will be there to celebrate with us. Happy Holidays! Chelsea & Marc."

By the way, the guy is Marc Mezvinsky -- the son of former Rep. Ed Mezvinsky, D-Iowa, and former Rep. Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinksy, D-Penn. -- the two met at Stanford University.

Father-of-the-Year

It is all about priorities. A father in Indianapolis is accused of making a pit stop at a strip club. The problem, he left his 5-year-old son in the tractor-trailer.

Apparently he spent too much time inside. The AP says he got so drunk he forgot where he parked, and called the cops to report his truck stolen and his child missing.

The kid was sitting in the cab watching cartoons the entire time.

Easiest Escape Ever

This is NOT the Great Escape. WDSU in New Orleans reports a woman recently got away by walking out an open door. The 31-year-old was arrested after a fight with her boyfriend. She was recaptured the very next day.
The jail and the cops are all pointing fingers about whose to blame, but this is the seventh person to escape from the same prison this year.

Rocketman Fails to Launch

Wet, cold and alone, guys this is apparently what happens when your rocket flames out early. Get your mind out of the gutter. I'm talking about a Swiss daredevil who was trying to fly from Morocco to Spain with jet-powered wings strapped to his back.

This genius only made it 5 minutes into his planned 15-minute flight. The AP says he's fine. Yves Rossy says he'll try again in the new year.

Too hot for Thanksgiving

Here is commercial you may not have spotted during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade this morning. That's because many NBC stations around the nation (mostly in the south) banned PETA's vegan inspired spot. PETA claims the little girl just "tells it like it is, for the turkey." The stations say it is not in the spirit of the parade.

Loaded Hot Dog

As we are all thinking about overindulging @ Thanksgiving, how about a Sonoran Hot Dog. They are easy to make and ridiculously delicious. Just ask Patrick who ate all of them.

Robot love? Is it possible?
Straight out of science fiction, it may be closer than you think. While women have had mechanical help for years, leave it to guys to take it to the extreme.

The Oprah Effect

If you thought Oprah leaving broadcast TV in 2 years was not a big deal, the fact that Al Jazeera covered the story says something.
