Who'd a thunk it?

From Mayfield to Gay Paree. It looks like Wally Cleaver has finally made it to the big time. An artist since his teen years on the "Leave It To Beaver" show, actor Tony Dow always knew what he wanted to be when he grew up: a sculptor. And today it paid off when it was announced that his bronze sculpture "Unarmed Warrior" will go on display at the Louvre. THE LOUVRE!! For those of us who grew up watching Wally, Beaver, Lumpy Rutherford and Eddie Haskell "golly-gee-whiz" their way through Mayfield High, the irony is delicious. It's abso-fab to see a child star make the big time!! Congratulations Wally! We know that Ward, where ever he may be, is proud of you!!

Long overdue

It's okay, you can keep 'em

You know, after Obama's sweeping and historic victory, you would think that Sarah Palin would have faded quietly back into obscurity in the Great White North. But she just keeps coming back, providing more great material. Remember the - ahem - flap over her clothing expenditures?

According to Associated Press writer, Gene Johnson, Palin spent the last weekend trying to locate some of the $150,000 worth of clothing bought for her (and disputedly for her family) by the Republican National Party so it could be returned.
Her father, Chuck Heath, said Palin spent part of the weekend going through her clothing to determine what belongs to the Republican Party.

She was just frantically ... trying to sort stuff out," Heath said. "That's the problem, you know, the kids lose underwear, and everything has to be accounted for. Nothing goes right back to normal ... "

Her kids lost their undies? I don't know about you guys, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm thinkin' they can keep 'em. But I do agree with her dad on one thing: so far, nothing about Sarah has gone right back to normal. And really, I don't think it ever will.
