It was on this day back in 2001 that comedic legend Foster Brooks passed away. Foster was known for playing a drunk but was quite sober at the time. It seemed like it was his partner in many of his clips, Dean Martin, who was throwing back the bottle. Watch Dean's as well as Don Rickles' reactions in this clip. Hilarious.

A Heckler's Weekend
What happens when you hire a coach with a losing record to take over at Auburn? A heckler spoils the airport welcome!
Bush is already a lame duck but literally?
The protester shouted in Arabic, "This is your farewell kiss, you dog!"
Can you use this info?
Really? #1, #6, and #7 I can see happening...but meteors, comets, and space debris?
7 freaky home threats: Are you covered?

If you're like most homeowners, you probably don't think about your property insurance very often. It's common to enjoy the security of knowing your insurance company has you covered?Or does it?
Sure, your basic homeowners' policy will cover you for the run-of-the-mill stuff like fires (the accidental variety, at least). But what if you have the misfortune of suffering a more unusual type of calamity?
In that case, it's important to know whether you have an "open perils" or "named perils" policy. Most homeowners' policies cover your dwelling on an "open perils" basis, sometimes conversely referred to as "named exclusions." With this type of policy, anything not specifically excluded by your policy is covered. A named perils policy is just the opposite: Everything's excluded except what is specifically listed as covered.
Even within those categories, policies can vary widely depending on your location and the type of coverage you have. So you need to study your policy carefully. Here's a look at some of the more unusual things that could happen to your home, and how your insurance company might react. We'll get some help from Bill Wilson, associate vice president of Education & Research for the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America.

The Grinch that stole Ballys
It's been public knowledge that the Ballys fitness chain is struggling. I have been a member for the past 15 years or so. I first joined in Canton when I was still living at home.
Anyway, I was going to this one on Monroe Street in Toledo for the past month. I was doing a spinning class (bike riding) to break up the boredom of being on a treadmil. I was going Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings for this class. This morning, the instructor told me that today was the last Saturday spinning class. I was shocked. I asked what happened. She said this past Wednesday, the employees were told that this Ballys location would be closing on December 17th.
Luckily for the instructor, she will be teaching classes at the Ballys on Airport Highway in Toledo.
I am surprised at the timing of the closing. Mid-December? Before people make their New Year's Resolutions to lose weight and get fitness club memberships? Times must be tough indeed.

Winners and Losers of the Week
Winner of the Week: Tom Jones
I tab Tom Jones as my winner of the week for his latest music release called "24 Hours." There are several great songs on the disc. I saw Tom Jones in concert a few years ago at the House of Blues in Cleveland and he was awesome. It's good to hear the legend can still sing his butt off. "The Road" is a great song.
Loser of the Week: Bulls Coach Vinny Del Negro
How did this guy not get a technical foul for his move of screaming at a player and being on the court as Quentin Richardson nailed a big shot? The scream wasn't very professional.

News ideas
With time ticking down until Christmas, what will the top news stories be on December 24th?
I can already see a story on shopping procrastinators being on the news as well as video of the nearby airport for a story on people travelling.
Look for the usual AAA story about how many people will be traveling by car when we have never been told how the AAA get their stats.
Any other suggestions?
