Scanning the headlines

Well that was money well-spent

The United States is prepared to discuss the establishment of a political party for the Taliban in Afghanistan, a U.S. diplomat says.

But but but…they said it was based on a true story

The movie, "A Haunting in Connecticut," doesn't open until Friday, but curious fans are already making a beeline for the Southington home that inspired the movie.

"It's just been really, really stressful," said Susan Trotta-Smith, who bought the home 10 years ago with her husband. "It's been a total change from a very quiet house in a very quiet neighborhood to looking out the window and seeing cars stopping all the time. It's been very, very stressful, and sometimes worrisome."

The family has never seen anything unusual inside their five-bedroom, two-family white wood-frame house and does not believe the property was haunted.

Correction

AIG did not pay their executives $165 million as was previously reported.

It was actually $218 million.

We could probably make up some of that money by selling hunting licenses.

Just when I think humanity can’t get any crazier, they prove me wrong. God bless ‘em.
