This week, Tom and I discuss old people, the Kardashian marriage and some other stuff, such as how, if we were running for president, we’d be drunk all the time too.
First off, the old people:
The FBI arrested four senior citizens in Georgia for allegedly concocting a large-scale terrorism attack in the United States, targeting U.S. citizens, corporations, the media and government officials. They are alleged to have stockpiled a cache of bioweapons and automatic weapons.
What have we learned?
They never should have cancelled “Matlock.”
Or, Has Old Country Buffet cancelled the early bird special?
Or, Those kids will learn to stay off their lawns.
Or, This is what you get when you increase the co-pay on Viagra prescriptions.
Or, Bioweapons? What were they going to do, dump Metamucil in the water supply?
And now, Rick Perry:
Rumors circulated that Texas Gov. Rick Perry, running for the GOP presidential nomination, was intoxicated when he delivered a speech in which he appeared very animated.
What have we learned?
Yeah, if we were running for president, we’d be drunk all the time too.
And the Kardashians, or at least one of them:
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian and basketball player Kris Humphreys ended their marriage after 72 days. The wedding aired as a two-hour special on E!
What have we learned?
At least we won’t have to care about Kardashian any more, at least until another sex tape surfaces, which is expected in 3, 2, 1…
Or, This is shocking. We expected it to last at least three months.
Or, Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to air the honeymoon on Spice.
And finally, texting while driving:
The state House and Senate both passed a bill that bans texting while driving.
What have we learned?
Yeah, but what we gain in traffic safety, we might lose in gene pool integrity.
Listen to it here:

Mike Argento, a York native and graduate of York Suburban Area High School and Penn State, first came to the York Daily Record in 1983. He even had gray hair back then. After stints covering everything from cops to city hall to state government to the environment, he began writing a column for the paper, three times a week, in 1989. His column can be about anything and so is his blog, which encompasses life in York County and beyond. And, for the record, as he told his wife the other night, he wishes people would stop asking him, 'What's wrong with you?' He really doesn't know.
