6/11

1. Yesterday the founder of the Chili’s restaurant chain died. He apparently asked to be cremated. On a wood-fired grill. With honey-mustard sauce.

2. The Molson brewing company just announced that its retirees will no longer receive free beer. And in similar news, retired Wall Street executives will no longer get fresh hundred-dollar bills for cleaning their shoes. The beer thing is especially cruel, because now the retirees have to live in Canada sober.

3. In Russia, prime minister Vladimir Putin caused some controversy by telling one of the country’s best artists how to paint better. Said Putin: “These tears are not realistic. Let me show you what tears look like.” Then Putin said that a warrior’s sword in the painting was too short, which is not the first time that Putin has requested male enhancement.

4. The challenger in the presidential election in Iran is using Twitter to communicate with voters. As opposed to current president Ahmadinejad, who’s just using Twit.

5. Have you seen the mugshot of Phil Spector without any of his wigs? Apparently the wigs are being held at a separate maximum security prison.
