While You Were at the Bar 6/5

News you can use:

Kids, the day we have all been waiting for for the past four months will be here soon. Hil will suspend her campaign for the Democratic nomination on Saturday, when she will endorse Barack Obama. Whatever you have to say about Hil, you have got to give the woman credit for not backing down. Even if I still don't necessarily like her and her awful pantsuits and scarves (how I hate those scarves), I've got to give her the Bulldog award for keeping the fight in the dog.

The Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup Wednesday night. They beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2. I'm not a big hockey fan but it's always good to be up on current events, right? Or at the very least I should mention it should some cranky hockey player come and bust my lights out for the travesty of skimming over something as big as the Stanley Cup.

U.S. naval ships that have been in the waters outside Myanmar have left after being denied access to donate relief supplies. U.S. naval boats and personnel have been waiting since May 13th for the ruling junta to let them in and deliver relief supplies, but to no avail. I DO NOT understand.

News you can lose:

The local historians in Wellfleet, Mass. thought their lighthouse had been taken down and destroyed in 1925. Oh no, says Colleen MacNeney. The lighthouse was taken down and moved to California, where it still serves its purpose as a navigational aid and as a hostel. Pretty cool stuff for the lighthouse inclined peeps in Mass., but who knew there was a magazine called Lighthouse Digest and a group called the American Lighthouse Foundation? To each his own, to each his own.

Word of the Day:

germane: appropriate or fitting; relevant

It would have been more germane to have 'tree hugger' as the WOD but something tells me I might get a large load of well tended soil delivered on top of my car by a certain superhero.
