While You Were at the Bar 7/10

News you can use:

The family of JonBenet Ramsey has been cleared of having any part in the murder of the six year old in 1996. A new DNA testing technology called 'touch' analysis, verified that the DNA left on JonBenet's panties did not belong to anyone from her family. This all comes too late for Patsy Ramsey, JonBenet's mother, who died of ovarian cancer in 2006.

The number of cases of salmonella reported from raw tomatoes has reached over 1,000, and may not stop soon. The Centers for Disease Control is now looking into the possibility that the salmonella may have come from jalapeno and serrano peppers as well, and possibly even fresh cilantro. Investigators are looking for farms that may have produced both tomatoes and peppers or distribution centers that handled both. No matter what the cause, this is the largest food borne outbreak in the past decade.

The Reverend Jesse Jackson apologized to Senator Barack Obama yesterday after making a crude comment about him into a microphone he believed was turned off. Jackson referred to Obama's embrace of faith based social services as "talking down to black people" and then stated that he would like to castrate the Senator, in some ugly terms. While Rev. Jackson apologized, his son, Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. (one of Obama's national campaign chairs) blasted his father and his remarks.

Word of the Day:

unguent (noun): a salve for sores, burns, or the like; an ointment

Laying around by the pool, drinking tasty drinks will likely lead you to be in need of an unguent for your crispy fried skin. Perhaps Rafael would be willing to assist?

(I hear Penelope is the queen of home remedies, so maybe she has a recipe for an unguent up her sleeve? As long as you aren't burned so bad as to require tube socks to cover up your poor achy arms, that is. Just ask her. She loves to help!)
