First time stopping by for a drink? Click here.

News you can use:

An eighteen year old South Carolina man is charged with four counts of murder after his family was found shot to death. The teen had recently brokend up with his live in girlfriend and moved back in with his dad, stepmother, stepsister and brother, all of whom were killed. Authorities are not giving any indication as far as a motive.

One thousand people have been ordered to leave their homes in Sierra Madre, California on Sunday due to a wildfire. As of Sunday afternoon the fire was about 5 percent contained with full containment expected in four or five days. It is not known what started the blaze, but it is known to be man made.

Barack Obama declines the challenge issued by Hillary Clinton to have a debate sans moderators before the May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. Obama told Fox News Sunday “I’m not ducking... For two weeks, two big states, we want to make sure we’re talking to as many voters on the ground, taking questions from voters. We’re not going to have debates between now and Indiana.”

News you can lose:

Some crack pot legislator in Florida has nothing better to do than try and outlaw the fake bull balls that some people use as decoration on their vehicles. I'm not a big fan of the things myself, but going so far as to outlaw them? That's a good use of taxpayer money, Mr. Legislator. How very ballsy of you; you must be nuts.

Word of the day:

posit

Impress us all and use posit in a sentence, especially if you don't know the definition.

Friday's WOD, winsome means 1. Cheerful; merry; gay; light-hearted 2. Causing joy or pleasure; agreeable; pleasant. Aren't the Smartini girls winsome?

Sweet Pea gets so absorbed in her TV program, she really doesn't like when I posit to ask her questions (gotta love Tivo!)

Heehee, I love that sentence.

Is it hard to find happy news snippets to slip into the dailies as well? Because seriously, that SC quadruple murder posit-ively bummed me OUT.
