Answering your questions!

People ask me all the time, "What are Ann and Ron really like?"

I'm going to let you all in on a little secret. All news anchors are actually lifelike robots, powered by tiny nuclear reactors, and steered by remote-control from a dark and musky cave in the back of the newsroom we call "the booth."

None of this is true, but it's a far more fun answer than "They're both really nice and pretty much as friendly and personable as they appear on screen." That's the truth.

I'll exemplify. There was a day back in June where some madness abounded here in the newsroom. People were freaking out, voices were raised, there may have been obscenities bandied about like verbal darts. Amidst this chaos, I stood at the desk, looking tiny and fearful. Ron walked over and started talking to me, making sense of the madness, and assuring me that everything would be okay.

He didn't have to do that. He's a prominent television personality. I'm the guy who harasses cops and fetches guests. On the television news playing field, it's the equivalent of the lion saying supportive things to the lowly Kiwi. So, next time you're watching FOX23 News Daybreak, which I know you watch everyday because you are awesome, and you wonder if Ann and Ron are as cool as they seem on TV, the answer is yes. They are.

However, I will let you in on one little secret. Ron wears liquid foundation.

Okay, enough behind-the-scenes for one day. Here's what matters:

* When I was a young boy, Daddy sat me down on his knee and said, "Son, if your girl is ever fighting with another woman, stay out of it." Here's why.

* On the flipside, if you yourself are fighting with your spouse, and your difficulties reach that pesky "irreconcilable" place, just move out and get an apartment. The alternative, although visually interesting, is probably not a true solution.

* Here's a hummus recipe. No reason behind it, just sounded tasty.

* More Watchmen wallpaper! Who watches your desktop?!

* The New York Times has a great story on Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips. He lives in OKC, which is now incrementally cooler due to his addition.

* Google has a way to help you stop drunk emailing. Unfortunately, Blogspot has not implemented a manner to stop drunk blogging. So, my short-lived career goes on.

* Sarah Palin to drop the puck at a hockey game. I'm not impressed. Now, if she starts a pitbulls-only dog-walking service, now that would be cool.

* National Debt Clock runs out of room to properly list national debt! Great, now who's going to pretend to hold the unaccountable accountable?

* Hamas is considering free elections! How ironic, we're toying with the idea here, too!

* Foo Fighters don't want McCain using its song! McCain has been running into this problem a lot, essentially leaving him two song choices for the rest of the campaign: "Black Sweat" by Prince and "What's Going On?" by 4 Non Blondes.

* This shirt rocks! The Empire's driving skills..... not so much.

* Speaking of the world of fashion, I finally care.
