Things That Make You Go Hmmm ...

There isn't any news that fits my fancy to report on this evening - obvious choices probably would have been my take on State of The Union or Jay Leno's feeble attempt to save face on Oprah. But after a brainstorming session to come up with something I could possibly blog about, I saw an ad on TV about Black History Month.

Black History Month is celebrated during the entire month of February each year. However, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is celebrated in January. That made me go, "Hmm ... I wonder why we don't celebrate Black History Month in the same month that we celebrate MLK Jr. Day?" Perhaps it's just to spread the love and awareness over a longer period of time.

That being said, below is a list of some things which have recently made me go "Hmmm..."

- How do those people who are currently cruising to Haiti find it in themselves to take a little jet ski adventure while, just a few miles inland, hundreds of thousands are dead and millions are newly homeless? Are they clueless, heartless, or a combination of the two?
- What was that peacock (or wild turkey - still TBD) doing wandering on the side of the road the other day when I was on my way in to work? And perhaps more importantly, was he having a good time?
- What, exactly, is Lady Gaga? And why do I keep buying his/her/its songs?
- Why would an iPad be a good investment for most people? I'm pretty sure I would be so worried about dropping the thing that I WOULD drop it and ::poof:: there goes $500.
- Why would Michelle Pfeiffer's agent recommend that she KEEP the silent P? I mean honestly. Save the ignorant tabloid media the trouble and just switch it to Feiffer.

I'm sure there are more things, but that's really about all I can think of at the current moment. Maybe I'll make this a recurring posting on "The Incident Report." There really are a lot of things that make me go "Hmmm" and I think this is the perfect forum to get them out in the open.
