T-Time Weekly News Update for the Week of June 17th–23rd 2008

Do you work all day and have no time or energy to find out what's going on in the world? Do you get bored and impatient watching TV anchors tell you over and over what's going on? Do you sometimes care more about what Britney Spears is doing than what President Bush said during his State of the Union address? If you answered yes to even one of these questions this is what you've been waiting for! Every week I'm going to give you a quick rundown of the past week's biggest headlines. I won't bore you with minute details and shove tons of information down your throats. These are just the facts with a little humor for measure! And if you want to know more you can always just Google it or ask me.

Celebs Doing What They Do Best:

In honor of all the legal gay weddings that happened in California last week I’m going to give you a quick couples update. Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are still together and still the oddest couple around. They’ve been spotted all over Miami and L.A., and Aniston just magically appeared in London where Mayer is starting his world tour. I give ‘em 6 months. Not to be outdone Cameron Diaz (Mayer’s ex) has been seen around with British model Paul Sculfor (Aniston’s ex). Incest much?!? Anne Hathaway had a moment of clarity and dumped her shady businessman boyfriend Raffaello Follieri. Apparently she realized he wasn’t very good for her image. She may have lost her man but she gained a #1 movie with ‘Get Smart’, which raked in almost $40M this past weekend. Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong have been keeping one another company. The love affair began in Texas, moved to Cannes, stopped by NY, and is now in L.A. The super cute and fit couple have been busy riding their bikes, playing tennis and smooching (great cardio) everywhere they go! Lance is such an infamous ladies’ man that even the NY Times wrote about him: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/22/fashion/22lance.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=lance+armstrong&st=nyt&oref=slogin. And rapper/producer extraordinaire Timbaland married his girlfriend of 2 ½ years (and mother of one his kids) first in Virginia and then Aruba.

A T-Time is incomplete without a little Spears update. Things seem to be looking up for the crazies we like to call the Spears. A judge ruled that Britney was not guilty of running over a paparazzo’s foot while trying to drive out of a garage. Now that she’s temporarily free from the hands of the law Ms. Spears has been busy house hunting. She apparently wants to sell her Malibu mansion and move to a house closer to K-Fed and the kids. Hopefully her new home will have some extra bedrooms cause her 17-year-old little sis, Jamie Lynn, finally gave birth to her daughter, Maddie Briann. For only the 2nd time in Jamie Lynn’s entire pregnancy did the whole clan fly out to Louisiana to help support the underage momma.

Our neighbors across the pond have been making headlines as well. America’s favorite domestic diva, Martha Stewart, is banned from entering Great Britain. According to a spokeswoman for the British Home Office, “We continue to oppose the entry to the U.K. of individuals where we believe their presence in the United Kingdom is not conducive to the public good or where they have been found guilty of serious criminal offenses abroad." And in case you forgot, she was convicted and sentenced for obstructing justice back in 2004. Now Martha can join the ranks of other banned U.S. citizens like Snoop Dogg. I never thought I’d live to see the day. One woman who shouldn’t be allowed to leave the UK is super violent, supermodel Naomi Campbell. Campbell plead guilty to attacking British Airways employees and was sentenced to 200 hours community service and over $5,000 in fines. I wonder if she’ll do her service in a designer gown again (http://gothamist.com/attachments/jen/2007_03_noami2.jpg)?

Lefties and Righties:

McCain and Obama are in full running mode. Their biggest debate, as of late, is whether to allow offshore drilling on U.S. coasts. Since 1981 there has been a legal ban against drilling off U.S. shores. McCain thinks this will help alleviate rising gas prices and lower our dependency on foreign oil, but Obama thinks it’s a temporary fix and will only cause more problems. Discuss.

To deal with the energy crisis Senator McCain announced today that he is offering a $300M government prize to whoever can invent a car battery that is better than current technology. McCain also visited flood-ravaged Iowa to see the devastation first hand. President Bush visited as well. Don’t forget to donate to the Red Cross (their funds are totally depleted): https://american.redcross.org/site/Donation2?idb=53735701&df_id=1086&1086.donation=form1.

Senator Obama has declared that he is rejecting public funds for his presidential campaign despite saying that he would accept them if his Republican counterpart would. This means he can now accept money from donors with no limit (which he will have no problem doing since he’s already out-raised all the other candidates). He will be the first presidential candidate to refuse the funds since the 1970s. The Obama campaign had a moment of controversy. During a speech in Detroit, Michigan some Muslim women in headscarves were asked to not sit behind the podium while Obama was speaking so they wouldn’t be in any photographs with him. The volunteer at speech blamed it on the “sensitive political climate”. The Obama campaign apologized for the volunteer’s actions and emphasized that that is not the belief of the campaign.

The candidates’ wives have been keeping busy. Michelle Obama co-hosted ‘The View’ to show her more personable side. She explained away a lot of the controversy surrounding her and her husband’s campaign. Not only did she win over the other co-hosts but also the dress she was wearing has sold out across the country! Cindy McCain is on the cover of this week’s ‘Newsweek’ to open up about herself as well.

Although no permanent substitute has been named to replace the late Tim Russert on “Meet the Press”, respected and retired news anchor Tom Brokaw will be filling in through the November elections.

Tube Socks and Sneakers:

It has continued being a big week in sports. The Boston Celtics beat/pummeled the L.A. Lakers for their 17th NBA Championship title. Spain beat Italy in the European Soccer (Football if you want to sound sports savvy) Championship quarterfinals which put them in the semi-finals against Russia to be played out Thursday night. And Turkey will try its best against Germany Wednesday night. Whether you like the sport or the hot players…these are definitely games to watch. After a string of losses and swirling rumors Mets manager Willie Randolph was fired, making him the first manager in the majors to be fired this season. Tiger’s bum knee may have lasted through his big U.S. Open win, but the injury was so severe that he’s going back for more surgery and is dropping out of the rest of the season. And tennis stars are revving up for Wimbledon…be on the lookout for Rafael Nadal giving Roger Federer a run for his money.

News Potpourri:

I'll leave you with some quick news tidbits that couldn't fit either here or there so they're getting their own paragraph! Quite possibly my favorite news story all week. A woman is suing Victoria’s Secret because her defective thong injured her eye. Seriously…picture it if you will. She claims a decorative metal piece flew off the thong directly into her eye. How is she positioned when she’s putting on her underwear that her eye is even in the area?!? Mr. Al Gore has an inconvenient truth. His massive home in Tennessee has been criticized for not being very energy efficient/earth friendly. Well after tons of work on the property its energy use increased (not decreased) 10% according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. The energy it takes to run his home could power 232 average U.S. homes for a month. Controversial comedian George Carlin died of heart failure at the age of 71. He was famous for pushing the limits of foul-mouthed free speech with comedic albums like “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television”. Amy Winehouse was admitted to a hospital after fainting. She has been diagnosed with early signs of emphysema at the ripe old age of 24 (I bet she didn’t know that was a side effect of crack cocaine as well as cigs). Ever wonder what T of T-Time does when she’s not perusing the news for you? Here’s your video of the week is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LaFTsz-hes.

I hope this gives you an idea of what's going on in the world. Buck up…it's not so bad! Thongs are acting out against unattractive behinds and love is in the air in celebrity-wood. All is right with the world!

Now go and have an intellectually stimulating conversation with your neighbor about what you've just learned.

T-Time Weekly News Update for the Week of June 10th-16th 2008

Do you work all day and have no time or energy to find out what's going on in the world? Do you get bored and impatient watching TV anchors tell you over and over what's going on? Do you sometimes care more about what Britney Spears is doing than what President Bush said during his State of the Union address? If you answered yes to even one of these questions this is what you've been waiting for! Every week I'm going to give you a quick rundown of the past week's biggest headlines. I won't bore you with minute details and shove tons of information down your throats. These are just the facts with a little humor for measure! And if you want to know more you can always just Google it or ask me.

I Want to Be on TV:

Boob tube stars have been making waves in the news this past week. MTV has officially said ‘goodbye’ to music and ‘hello’ to “reality” TV. Paris Hilton is searching for a new BFF on her latest reality show. Nicole Richie is pitching a show that will search for the ‘next Nicole Richie’ and then give the winner her own reality show ‘The Hills’ has become so popular that now there are talks to have an Entourage-like spin-off show for Brody Jenner where he will try to find a new “bro” to join his crew. ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Knocked Up’ star and Emmy winner Katherine Heigl has been suffering from severe ‘foot in mouth’ disease. Her latest moment was removing herself from the Emmy race because she feels that she wasn’t given quality material that would warrant a nomination. Wasn’t she the same actress who proudly protested and striked along side the writers (the same people who didn’t giver her quality material)?!? There was rumor of a ‘Gossip Girl’ spin-off show centered around Jenny Humphrey’s character, but the creators deny it and say they’re concentrating on Season 2. I agree…I think you need more than 1 season before you branch off to other ventures.

Forbes Magazine came out with its annual ‘Celebrity 100 Power List’. Oprah ranked in at #1 for the 2nd consecutive year…SHOCKER. If you want to be super jealous you can check out the rest of the list here: http://www.forbes.com/2008/06/11/most-powerful-celebrities-lists-celebrities08-cx_mn_0611c_land.html.

Reportedly Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee are back together…AGAIN. They’ve been doing this on again-off again thing for over a decade. Pammie’s cute…can’t she just find a new man?

Most importantly…P Diddy is still P Diddy, not Puff Daddy. You can sleep well now.

Elephants and Donkeys:

Unfortunately I have not been doing my job to its fullest. I neglected to discuss GOP candidate Ron Paul for most of the primary race. I regret to inform all Paul devotees that he has dropped out of the race. Take a moment to mourn.

Now for real this time, it’s officially Senators (D) Barack Obama vs. (R) John McCain. McCain held a town hall meeting at the National Constitution Center in Philly where he discussed his stance on different issues, defined the differences between he and Obama and answered tons of questions. Here are some highlights: http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/politics&id=6199863. Obama paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live. There was a little bball talk, Hillary jabs, VP ideas and of course a fist pump: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dar6K6UjC_4. Obama got another big endorsement. Mr. Green himself, former VP and Democratic Presidential candidate Al Gore, announced his support for the Senator.

Don’t forget to register/re-register to vote. You can do so at http://www.rockthevote.com/. Yours truly did. It takes 1 minute and you get your new voter card in the mail.

President Bush has been keeping busy during his last few months in office. He has been traveling around Europe on his “Euro Farewell Tour”. His itinerary included Germany, Italy, France and England.

‘Meet the Press’ host/managing editor/moderator Tim Russert passed away on Friday at the young age of 58 from a sudden heart attack (he was at work when he collapsed). Russert was one of the most highly respected people in the news industry. He interviewed some of the most important people in our history, and it was considered a ‘right of passage’ to go on his show and survive one of his truly tough interviews. Friends and colleagues gave a loving tribute during this past Sunday’s show: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25173667#25173667.

S to the P to the O to the R to the T to the S:

The Boston Celtics failed to clinch the NBA Finals over the L.A. Lakers therefore the games continue. The score so far is 3-2 (Celtics) so it’s still anybody’s game. Game 6 will be Tuesday, June 17th at 9 p.m. [EST].

NY Giants and Super Bowl Champ Michael Strahan announced his retirement. Rumors were flying around for a while, but I guess he chose to leave while still on top. Strahan hopes to pursue a career in television (don’t we all!).

Tiger Woods proved yet again why he’s the champ. During the U.S. Open it looked like 45-year-old Rocco Mediate would finally win his first major title. Well after 18 holes and a sudden death, yes there is such a thing as sudden death in golf, Woods (on a bum knee) came out victorious to gain his 3rd U.S. Open crown and 14th major title. Whip out your argyle…it’s time to celebrate!

News Potpourri:

I'll leave you with some quick news tidbits that couldn't fit either here or there so they're getting their own paragraph! Iowa has been hit with catastrophic flooding. Thousands of people have lost their homes, and many cities have just disappeared under water. To help the relief effort please donate to the Red Cross at: https://american.redcross.org/site/Donation2?idb=53735701&df_id=1086&1086.donation=form1. Apple’s Steve Jobs unveiled the new iPhone. It’s faster and cheaper just like most Hollywood starlets (yeah I went there!). They seemed to have worked out all the quirks from the original to make a new and improved version with GPS, longer battery life, faster internet access and so much more! A recent Health Department study found that 1 in 4 NYC adults has Herpes. All together now…EWW. If you like tomatoes hopefully you were steering clear of them last week. A serious salmonella scare put the kibosh on tomato consumption, but the coast seems to be clearing up now. United and US Air have gone to the dark side and will begin charging $15 for checked baggage. When will the madness end? The Tony Awards, the biggest night for Broadway, were this past Sunday. You can check out all the big winners here: http://www.tonyawards.com/en_US/nominees/winners.html. Talk about creativity…this is how you get tourists to visit your town. Your video of the week is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=s27Ilv84bj4.

I hope this gives you an idea of what's going on in the world. Buck up…it's not so bad! Maybe Ron Paul will run in 2012 and Oprah still owns the world. All is right with the world!

Now go and have an intellectually stimulating conversation with your neighbor about what you've just learned.

T-Time Weekly News Update for the Week of June 3rd-9th 2008

Do you work all day and have no time or energy to find out what's going on in the world? Do you get bored and impatient watching TV anchors tell you over and over what's going on? Do you sometimes care more about what Britney Spears is doing than what President Bush said during his State of the Union address? If you answered yes to even one of these questions this is what you've been waiting for! Every week I'm going to give you a quick rundown of the past week's biggest headlines. I won't bore you with minute details and shove tons of information down your throats. These are just the facts with a little humor for measure! And if you want to know more you can always just Google it or ask me.

*According to the AP the youth are suffering “news fatigue”. They are so inundated with numerous facts and headlines that they have a hard time getting into the stories. Just one more reason to read T-Time…I take in all the news for you and just tell you what really matters. You’re very welcome.

Celebrity Soup:

In honor of Father’s Day, this Sunday June 15th, Las Vegas club, Privè, named K-Fed “Father of the Year”. Are you done laughing yet? It’s almost as bad as Dina Lohan being “Mom of the Year”. Sure he spends all his time with his kids now, but let’s not forget the stellar dad he was in earlier days. He left his pregnant (with their 2nd child) girlfriend to frolic with Ms. Britney Spears. Then he knocks up Brit Brit twice and continues partying, spending her money and wasting air. Not till Britney fell off the deep end did Kevin take on any form of responsibility. Now that is the definition of a quality dad.

Two new celeb babies have entered the world. Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren just welcomed their first child, a daughter named Honor Marie Warren. And Tori Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott just welcomed their 2nd child, a daughter named Stella Doreen McDermott. Maybe when they grow up Honor and Stella will be their generation’s Paris and Nicole!

Anne Hathaway proves that despite having good taste in movie roles, she does not know how to pick men. Her Italian boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, of over 4 years is in trouble with the law for the bazzillionth time. He already took care of the $250,000 bounced check, but now his charity is under investigation because it doesn’t seem to be as legit as he claims. The artist P Diddy, formerly known as Puff Daddy, is back to being Puff Daddy. When will you ever use this bit of information? I don’t know…but at least you’re ahead of the pop culture curve.

Hallelujah Amen!:

The longest, most annoying primary season ever finally came to an end. Senator Hillary Clinton conceded the race, suspended her campaign and put her support behind the Democratic nominee, Senator Barack Obama. To add to Hil’s bad week Bill has been fighting a Vanity Fair article that claims he still parties like a rockstar and had an affair with actress Gina Gershon among other women. The only problem is all the “sources” are anonymous and the author can’t really prove any of it.

So finally it’s official (D) Barack Obama vs. (R) John McCain. The candidates are already going at one another. The next few months should be very interesting!

Now the fun of figuring out a VP candidate for Obama begins. The biggest whisper has been about Obama and Clinton running together. They even met privately after she bowed out. But I don’t know if the White House has enough room for 3 egos (Obama and both Clintons). There has even been rumbling of Caroline Kennedy taking the spot. For now Barack is basking in the joys of his win. Fist-pump anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ah9IA87DRA&NR=1. If the fist pump isn’t your way of celebrating, how about some Obama underwear: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/06/06/2008-06-06_feeling_barack_obama_all_under-2.html?

Sports, Shmorts:

This past week was full of huge sports (hockey, horses, tennis, b-ball, skyscraper climbing…you name it) moments so they deserve their own section. In one of the most graceful sports around the Detroit Red Wings beat the Pittsburgh Penguins to win the Stanley Cup. Big Brown was a BIG disappointment at the Belmont Stakes. He was in the running to be the first Triple Crown winner in 30 years. Not only did Da’ Tara win, but Big Brown came in dead last. I guess he couldn’t handle the pressure…and he calls himself a thoroughbred! Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer for his 4th consecutive French Open title. One of the most celebrated sports rivalries is continuing on. The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers are battling in the NBA Finals, and so far the Celtics are up 2-0. But the award for most innovative sport goes to “Skyscraper Climbing”. Two men, not associated with one another, climbed the NY Times building in New York City only a few hours apart from one another. The first guy was trying to get the word out about global warming and is an avid “urban climber” who has climbed several other large buildings. The 2nd guy was making a statement about malaria. Dumb moves? Absolutely. Good causes? Double absolutely.

News Potpourri:

I'll leave you with some quick news tidbits that couldn't fit either here or there so they're getting their own paragraph! Friday was a dark day on Wall Street. The Dow Jones dropped 400 points due to increasing energy prices and unemployment rates. Although the horror of September 11th happened almost 7 years ago, the men responsible for plotting the attack have just begun facing their arraignments in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. And don’t think that all this time in prison has softened the terrorists, according to reporters at the trials the men have been acting extremely smug throughout the process. Hopefully they will be rightfully punished for their crimes. On a lighter note for all you “Hills” fans, Whitney Port is getting her own spin-off show based in NY. Yet another guilty pleasure to DVR! In case being married to multi-billionaire Aaron Spelling wasn’t financially stable enough, Candy Spelling just won $180,000 at slot machines. First airfare prices shot up, then airlines announced that they will charge for checked luggage, and now they may begin charging passengers based on body weight. That’s right…the more you weigh the more you pay. I would kill to see this policy enforced! Does work ever make you feel like you could just “flip out”? Here’s your video of the week: http://www.stumbleupon.com/demo/?friend=5158213&msg=#url=http://break.com/index/office-worker-goes-absolutely-insane.html.

Editor’s Note: I need to make a correction to last week’s T-Time. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is Iran’s president, not Iraq’s. And Bo Diddley was a rock, not blues, icon.

I hope this gives you an idea of what's going on in the world. Buck up…it's not so bad! We finally have a 50/50 idea of who will be our next president and K-Fed has finally been given the credit he’s always deserved. All is right with the world!

Now go and have an intellectually stimulating conversation with your neighbor about what you've just learned.

T-Time Weekly News Update for the Week of May 28th-June 2nd 2008

Do you work all day and have no time or energy to find out what's going on in the world? Do you get bored and impatient watching TV anchors tell you over and over what's going on? Do you sometimes care more about what Britney Spears is doing than what President Bush said during his State of the Union address? If you answered yes to even one of these questions this is what you've been waiting for! Every week I'm going to give you a quick rundown of the past week's biggest headlines. I won't bore you with minute details and shove tons of information down your throats. These are just the facts with a little humor for measure! And if you want to know more you can always just Google it or ask me.

Celeb Recap:

Hello lover. Celebrity couples had a good week last week. Ashlee Simpson officially took the name “Wentz” but professionally will go by Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. Here’s something to ponder…under what letter will you have to look her up when she releases her next album…S or W? Got you thinking didn’t I?!? After 6 years of dating Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford may finally be engaged (Ford denies the rumors though). Unfortunately not all Hollywood couples last, shocking I know. The universe has come to its senses and George Clooney is back to being a bachelor. It only took him a year to realize that he had nothing in common with a Las Vegas cocktail waitress. Bill Murray and his wife of 11 years are divorcing, and it’s not going to be pretty. She claims he was violent, a drug abuser, bad husband, etc!

When celebs do bad things they go all out. Rachael Ray may be a terrorist…at least according to many who saw her recent Dunkin Donuts ad. Ray was wearing a black & white printed scarf that “resembled” a keffiyeh, a traditional headdress worn by Arab men, and therefore conjured up images of Middle Eastern terrorists (http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/files/images/080528_ray.jpg). DD ended up pulling the ad. See kids…too much caffeine and EVOO can do that to a person. Celine Dion is not only a diva on stage but at home as well. According to the Palm Beach Post she uses 6.5M gallons of water at her personal home in Florida. I have a feeling that she’s not BFF with Al Gore. Supermodel Naomi Campbell was charged with assault and 2 other offenses after her big brouhaha at Heathrow Airport. And actress/former child star Tatum O’Neil was just busted for buying crack and cocaine in NYC. She claims she was researching a role as a junkie...that’s what they all say.

Madonna’s adoption of a Malawian boy, David Banda, finally became official. Her new single (‘Give It 2 Me’…which should have been her first single off the new album) and video were just released…and it’s classic Madonna. For anyone who loves Madonna but not ‘4 Minutes’ this will remind you why Queen M rules the world: http://perezhilton.com/tv/?videoid=d227451abf439.

Karma really is a b*tch. After Sharon Stone made a comment that maybe China got hit with a devastating earthquake, that killed over 50,000, due to bad karma for all the abuse the Chinese government has inflicted upon Tibet, Dior dropped several of her ads.

Almost there…Just a few more primaries to go:

So the madness is about to come to an end (hopefully)…we only have a few primaries to go. Tuesday, June 3rd the Dems will battle it out in South Dakota and Montana while Senator John McCain will sit pretty with uncontested wins in New Mexico and South Dakota (just like he did in Idaho on the 27th). Despite inching closer to the Democratic nomination Senator Barack Obama has not been having the best week ever. He misspoke when claiming that his uncle helped liberate the Auschwitz concentration camp (it was his great-uncle and Buchenwald camp), the RNC has been counting the how many days it has been since Obama has gone to Iraq on http://www.gop.com/, and he resigned from his church after all the dramz broke out. On the other hand Clinton just got a huge celebrity endorsement from Mr. Shake Your Bon-Bon, Ricky Martin, and she won Puerto Rico’s primary. Another celebrity got into the political mix as well. Actress Susan Sarandon said she would leave the U.S. if McCain won.

Senator Ted Kennedy just underwent a 6-hour surgery to remove the tumor from his brain. The surgeon says that everything went well and he is in recovery. He will be receiving chemotherapy and radiation to destroy the rest of it.

President Bush did not have a good week either. His former press secretary, Scott McClellan, just released a book, ‘What Happened’ bashing the President and his administration for how major events, such as Katrina and the Iraq War, were mishandled. I have a feeling someone won’t be invited to any White House functions any time soon.

News Potpourri:

I'll leave you with some quick news tidbits that couldn't fit either here or there so they're getting their own paragraph! Ben & Jerry’s has just released a new flavor called ‘Imagine Whirled Piece’ in honor of John Lennon. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, announced that he wanted to meet with the Pope while he was in Italy. I wonder if the Pope would be able to convince him that the Holocaust really did happen?!? NY governor, David Patterson, announced that NY will recognize legal gay marriages. The 2008 Scripps National Spelling Bee came to an E-N-D this past week. Sameer Mishra won by correctly spelling the word ‘guerdon’. ‘Sex and the City: The Movie’ was a monster hit this past weekend bringing in almost $30M more than expected. Now there are talks of ruining the franchise by making a sequel. Fashion design icon Yves Saint Laurent, the man responsible for putting women in sexy pantsuits, died at the age of 71 after a long battle with illness and a brain tumor. Blues musician Bo Diddley also passed away. The man famous for hits like “Who Do You Love” died at the age of 79 from heart failure. For anyone who’s idea of video games is still Mario Bros…here’s your video of the week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGQ20yDDVzQ.

I hope this gives you an idea of what's going on in the world. Buck up…it's not so bad! Rachael Ray is the most dangerous person out there, and the presidential campaign primaries are almost over. All is right with the world!

Now go and have an intellectually stimulating conversation with your neighbor about what you've just learned.
