I broadcast a jesting Tweet on social media program Twitter this week about the origins of Easter Eggs. It read: “Easter the day Jesus rose from the dead, what should we do? “How ‘bout Eggs?!” what’s that have to do with Jesus? “Alright we’ll hide them…”
Harmless, mindless fun taking a sideways look (and swipe) at [...]

London is all a Twitter as President Obama arrived here three hours ago, walked to the base of the Air Force One staircase then levitated across the tarmac to the amazement of startled onlookers, his red cape flowing beneath his 50,000 watt smile.
OK, I mean the BBC providing a live feed was a bit much [...]

While the Democrats have planned a Rocky Mountain high for Denver (that is if the Clinton’s stop thinking everything is always about them and come back to the reality of planet earth), those heading to the Republican convention in Minneapolis (or is it St. Paul?) have been jumping ship like proverbial rats.

What a terrible way to end a stellar international career. Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, retired from international football on the losing end of a 3-1 score despite singlehandedly keeping Holland in the match against Russia with stunning saves and exhorting his colleagues to wake up and play!

What a night.
Chelsea stunned Liverpool in extra time with two goals to win their place in the Champions League Cup finale and the night before Manchester United’s amazing 25-metre screamer by Paul Scholes into the top right hand corner of the net early in the first half was enough after 90 nail biting minutes to [...]
