President Trump
Donald Trump To Run For President – Well not quite yet, but he is ‘seriously considering’ a 2012 presidential bid. God, you gotta just love the confidence of the man. Not that it’s completely out of order. I mean if Arnie can win California, why the hell would Trump not win the White House? They said Obama could never win because he’s black – and now look. He’s there and he’s doing good (I think). I wonder if Trump would be allowed to change all the taps in the White House to solid gold? [foxnews]
UFO In China Closes Airport [VIDEO] – Three flight were reportedly forced to circle the airport until the UFO disappeared. Two other flights were diverted away from Baotou and to the nearby cities of Ordos and Taiyuan and the airport was shut for around an hour “to guarantee safety.” Witnesses reported a bright light shining in the sky on September 11 around two-and-a-half miles away from Baotou airport, before suddenly vanishing. The incident was the eighth reported UFO sighting in China since the end of June. It’s coming, people. Sit tight.. [telegraph]
Madonna Is Angry About Retouched Pictures – Madonna is 52-years-old, but she thinks that with enough yoga and CGI, maybe no one will notice. So she poses in sexy ad campaigns like this one for Dolce and Gabbana. Her plan was going perfectly until someone leaked the originals, and now she’s reportedly furious about it. As if it was some treat for the rest of us. Maybe if she wasn’t built like a high school linebacker this kind of thing wouldn’t happen. [wwtdd]
Famous Brands Expect 25% Increase In Profits – Famous Brands , the brand owner of 1764 franchised food and drink outlets trading under names such as Steers, Mugg & Bean, Tashas and Wimpy, said its profit for the six months to August was likely to be between 20% and 25% higher than the same period a year earlier. That will probably be due to the massive padkos stop we did at the Wimpy in Three Sisters the other day. You’re welcome. [businessday]
Sleep In And Lose Weight – A study released Tuesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine compared two groups of people who were trying to lose weight. One was randomly assigned to sleep 5.5 hours each night for two weeks, while the other was able to sleep 8.5 hours. The study found that the sleep-deprived group had higher levels of ghrelin — a hormone that drives appetite. And there you were thinking it was all the chocolate you’ve been stuffing your face with!

I wonder where her money-maker child she had with ex-Bond actor, Timothy Dalton, was at the time? [people]
HIV-Positive Muppet Stars On Sesame Street – Big Bird and the Cookie Monster have some new friends, but they’re a long way from “Sesame Street.” One of America’s best-loved children’s shows, which began life on a fictional New York street over 40 years ago, is about to land in Nigeria under the title of “Sesame Square” — bringing with it some distinctly West African twists.
