In-N-Out Burger Founder dies

Esther Snyder, who along with her husband Harry founded the still privately held burger change died this week. She was 86. She and her husband were Christians and you can find bible texts on the following items regularly distributed by the restaurants:

The soda cup bears the notation John 3:16:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The milkshake cup lists Proverbs 3:5:
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
The hamburger and cheeseburger wrappers point to Revelation 3:20:
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
The wrap used for the “Double-Double” (two burger patties and two slices of cheese) lists Nahum 1:7:
The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

Mel Gibson: a reason to be paranoid?

Is it just me, or did Mel Gibson’s ranting sound a little paranoid? Of course, just because you are paranoid, it doesn’t mean that people aren’t out to get you…

Tiger Woods hits 50

Is there any doubt that Tiger Woods is the best golfer in the world? With his win at the Buick Open last weekend he became the youngest player in history (30 yrs. old) to score 50 wins in professional play. Amazing!

From Superman Returns…

Lois Lane: The world doesn’t need a savior…
Clark Kent: Listen…
Lois Lane: I don’t hear anything.
Clark Kent: I hear everything. You wrote that the world doesn’t need a saviour, but every day I hear people crying for one.

American Idol Auditions Have Started

American Idol Auditions have started with news reports from Pasadena, CA’s Rose Bowl. This is the part of the process where lots of silly and strange people get their moment in the sun for next season’s audition programs.

Big Brother, worth watching?

The Big Brother All Stars Season 7 is underway for light summer viewing. House intrigue is in full bloom. Danielle ends up in solitary confinement while her supposed cohorts celebrate with a Margarita party as a result of the “Power of Veto” contest. And naturally, the main person targeted for eviction this week, Janelle, won the POV. So much for the best laid plans of mice and men. Kaysar ended up on the chopping block as Danielle stayed the course designed to weaken the Season 6 alliance. If you understand any of the foregoing, you have way too much time on your hands.

Lieberman Loses Primary

Former Vice Presidential candidate, Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn, lost the Democratic primary to anti-war candidate, Ned Lamont as the Dems continue their slide toward the left. Liberman, the Dems answer to John McCain, has everything in place of an “independent” run which will likely be backed by Republicans who are throwing their primary winner under the bus. Wonder what this means for the upcoming Congressional mid-term elections in November?

RickyBobby?

Have you been to see the latest offering from Will Ferrell, Talledega Nights? He gave a hilarious interview to Larry King the other night, entirely in character. I don’t think you have to be a NASCAR fan to enjoy this film, which racked up top box office numbers last weekend.

Interest rates on hold

The Federal Reserve has decided to leave the interest rates alone. Their release is here >>>.

What does that mean for you and me? Our mortgage won’t go up this month, the payment on our new car (who can afford a new car?) will remain the same and in general, the Fed will not be tinkering with the economy until their next meeting. It will be interesting to see if the post-Greenspan Fed can avoid a recession in spite of the slowdown in real estate and the hike in gas prices.

Last Comic Standing

So, Josh Blue is the Last Comic Standing. Do you care?

RickyBobby?

I’m not much of a NASCAR fan, but I really enjoyed Talledega Nights, the Ballad of Ricky Bobby…Lots of belly laughs.

Homeland Security

So travel just got a little more difficult. No more toothpaste in my carry-on. No more bottled water to quench my thirst on the trip. And, a day of chaos as the TSA institutes emergency procedures. Now what?
