Thursday Morning in Nerk, Ahia

I read over some of the local news, the BIG story, Ohio State plays football Saturday night, and there was a great deal of speculation over their uniforms ..... when they play Virginia Tech. Oddly, VT is unranked this year .... but some are predicting an upset. It helps the "scalper" ticket prices soar. But, that is the big news in Ohio. Another multi-million dollar revenue thing for them, thanks to TV.

Woman in India Marries Dog to Ward Off Evil

Many people have asked for a hand in marriage, but what about a paw? This sounds like a whole new spin on the tradition of prearranged marriages in some countries.

In a remote part of India, young Mangli Munda is marrying a stray dog to fight off evil spirits that her family believes she has. The dog was found by the woman's father. The big wedding was taken care of by the 18-year-old's parents, to the dismay of the wife-to-be. Munda wasn't pleased with her parents' selection of a groom, saying, "I am not happy with this marriage."
It is not uncommon in this country, either .... I have known quite a few women who married "dogs."

NEW YORK (AP) -- Police handcuffed several protesters in New York and Detroit on Thursday as they blocked traffic in the latest attempt to escalate their efforts to get McDonald's, Burger King and other fast-food companies to pay their employees at least $15 an hour. The protests, which are planned by labor organizers for about 150 cities nationwide throughout Thursday, are part of the "Fight for $15" campaign. Since the protests began in late 2012, organizers have switched up their tactics every few months.

Whatever happened to applying for job, here is the job and all its particulars, and if the wage was not acceptable, you DIDN'T take the job? Now, it's I'll take it, and then PROTEST to get more money.
