From Rasmussen:  Only four percent (4%) of voters nationwide agree with the federal Food and Drug Administration that the popular breakfast cereal Cheerios should be regulated as a drug. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 87% disagree and oppose such regulation.

Can you just hear the comment at a Georgetown cocktail party:  "I've always felt threatened by Cheerios." 

BERLIN (Reuters) - A Polish couple living in Germany fell out after tying the knot and decided to end their marriage on the same day.  "He said he never wanted to see her again and wanted an immediate annulment, and she said the same thing," a spokesman for police in the northern city of Hanover said Thursday.  Right after the civil ceremony Wednesday, the 50-year-old man began arguing with his bride and tried to cut her hair with a kitchen knife, police said.

These people clearly need counseling from Mark Sanford.

From Britain's Telegraph:  The BBC is to tone down the amount of sex and swearing screened following the 9pm watershed, because viewers were dismayed by the moral decline in programme standards.

They just noticed?  How many years has this been going on?
