1. There are rumors that a little-known Beatles song might be released, called “Carnival of Light”. But that’s not all. Some Beatles experts are very excited about a cassette in George Harrison’s boxes titled “Dolby 3X-TM”. One person who listened to it said that it was an incredible 60-minute minimalist epic, featuring a sparse but beautiful series of pops and crackles. Plus, at minute 43:10, there’s a wonderful surreal moment where Harrison jokingly says: “Well, what the bloody hell ARE we going to do with the real Paul’s body?”
2. Prices for the top wines around the world have fallen dramatically. For example, cases that used to cost $16,000 are now available for just $12,000. Well, isn’t that good to know! “Hey, honey! Remember how we couldn’t buy a case of that wine even if we sold our car? Now we can!”
3. A French court said that a marriage cannot be annulled because the wife lied about her previous sexual partners. And wives around the world gave a collective “Whew!”
4. Because of rules about transparent communication, Barack Obama may not be allowed to use e-mail after he becomes president. That will mean the unfortunate end of his personal emoticon. [Show typical smiley face emoticon, but with big parentheses on both sides for his ears.]
5. A lot of people are talking about Hillary Clinton becoming Secretary of State. But I don’t know if she’d be happy in any situation where she’s Obama’s secretary.
