A new day has dawned, the birds are singing their joyous song, the sun is rising to burn off the morning dew, everything is waking up, rejuvenated and refreshed. Oh, gag me with a spoon!!!!! Somebody stop me, I sound like a hallmark card. Yes, it's Monday and if you live in Western, NY, you may be excitied that Bushie is coming to visit Rochester tomorrow. Or you may be like me and can't care less.

Jaw dropper of the day: Talk about preventing one's daughter from seeing someone. A man in Eagle, Idaho, west of Boise, has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault and felony kidnapping. 49-year old Paul David Thomas, forced his daughter's 18 year old boyfriend into his van during the boy's lunch hour. He forced the teen into his van in front of Eagle High School and told the teen he had a knife and threatened violence against him all because the teen persisted in seeing the man's daughter. The teen escaped the van while it was stopped at an intersection and he got into another car, which just happened to have some of the teen's classmates. The father then followed the car and the teen phoned the police using a phone of one of his classmates. That sounds like one scary father. Maybe the boy should just find another girlfriend. There are other fish in the sea.

Enjoy your day,
