Good morning, Netizens...


A peacock spreads its wings at the state zoological park in Gauhati, India, Thursday and announces proudly, it's FRIDAY!


Oh thank goodness it's Friday! Hitch on your flippers, fasten down your hat and let's tap dance our way down the boulevard.


Perhaps if he is really lucky Obama will magically avoid dissing the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown any worse than he did earlier this week. Of course, you can look at the positive side: he is going to have a private tete-a-tete with England's Queen, so I suppose we can say he is winning the hearts and minds of the English. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/iain_martin/blog/2009/03/06/president_barack_obama_dislikes_britain_but_hes_keen_to_meet_the_queen


Of course, a person in New York was charged with assault after throwing a cup of hot coffee at someone who complained about her talking too loud on her cell phone. Did you ever want to do something like that before? http://www.nypost.com/seven/03062009/news/regionalnews/cellphone_scolder_suffers_a_yak_attack_158272.htm


Boodles Bar and Restaurant in downtown Bozeman, Montana is simply gone. There's no other way to describe it after an explosion rocked the downtown area, blowing out windows and rattling the entire town. That's going to leave a mark. http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2009/03/06/news/top/news01.txt


Speaking of Montana, former police officer Jason Huntsinger pleaded guilty Wednesday to a single felony charge of receiving obscene material over the Internet and thus qualified himself as an honorary Spokane Police Guild member. He served as a sergeant -and also worked on the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force. The subsequent examination of a computer belonging to the Missoula Police Protective Association, of which Huntsinger was president, revealed that he visited a Kiddy Porn Web site as well as other sites trafficking in porn. http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2009/03/06/news/local/news03.txt
