MIX CHICK OF THE DAY TINA FEY SAYS SHE'S DONE { More Mix Chix } TINA FEY WON'T PLAY SARAH PALIN FOR FOUR MORE YEARS Even though it seems like TINA FEY'S impersonation of SARAH PALIN will NEVER get old, Tina has implied that it WOULD get old for her.

HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR COUPLE SHARE AMAZING STORY { More Blog Pix } IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A GOOD STORY ABOUT HOW YOU MET YOUR SPOUSE . . . CHECK THIS OUT:
Normally, when couples tell the story of how they met, it's boring, long-winded . . . and includes all kinds of details that are completely irrelevant. And that's fine. But if you think you have a good story about how you met your spouse . . . check out this story:
During World War Two, 12-year-old Herman Rosenblat and his family were forced into a ghetto for Jews in Schlieben, Germany (--which is in the northeastern part of the country).
While he was there, Herman struck up a brief friendship with a 9-year-old girl named Roma Radziki, whose family lived outside the camp and pretended to be Christian so they wouldn't be killed by the Nazis.
Anyway, Roma passed by the ghetto every day for several months . . . and every time, she'd throw an apple over the fence to Herman.
But one day, Herman told Roma he'd be leaving, and she should never come back. Not long after, Herman was shipped off to a work camp . . . and his mother was sent to a death camp.
Fast forward to 1958. Herman was living in New York City when a friend called to set him up on a blind date. At first, Herman wasn't into the idea . . . but, eventually, he agreed to go.
So who do you think Herman's friend had set him up with?
That's right . . . Roma. According to Herman and Roma, they started talking about their experiences during the war . . . and they quickly realized that they'd met several years earlier.
Herman proposed to Roma that night . . . and they were married a few months later.
And get this - last summer, Herman and Roma (who are now 79 and 76, respectively) celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. (--How cool is that?)

Less than ONE in THREE workers say they'd take their boss' job right now if it was offered to them . . . and only 36% of workers think they're smarter than their boss.
Overall, TWO in THREE American workers trust that their boss is looking out for them and their career . . . and more than THREE in FOUR think their boss deserves the amount of money he or she makes.

13 YEAR OLD BOY ARRESTED FOR NUDE PIC A 13-YEAR-OLD BOY WAS ARRESTED FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AFTER A CLASSMATE SENT HIM A NAKED PICTURE OF HERSELF
If an adult has a picture of a naked 13-year-old girl . . . that person is obviously guilty of having child pornography and deserves to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
But what if a 13-year-old boy has a naked picture of his classmate? Should he be arrested and charged with child pornography too?
I ask because on Monday, a 13-year-old boy (who hasn't been named) from Sanger, Texas (north of Dallas), was arrested on child pornography charges . . . after a 13-year-old classmate (also not named) sent him a naked picture of herself on his cell phone.
Now, not only is this kid facing FELONY sex charges . . . (the boy, not the girl) . . . but he's already spent a night in a juvenile detention facility, and he's been suspended from school indefinitely. (There's no word on whether the girl's been suspended too.)
Should he be arrested and charged with child pornography?

BARKER HAD TO EAT MEAT TRAVIS BARKER HAD TO GIVE UP HIS VEGETARIANISM IN ORDER TO RECOVER FROM HIS INJURIES Apparently, one of the drawbacks to being nearly burned alive is that you have to give up being a vegetarian. TRAVIS BARKER hadn't eaten meat in 25 years, until his plane crash last month.
He says, quote, "I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, 'There's a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.'
"So I did. I don't regret it at all, I feel so much better."
Barker is expected to be in the hospital for another two weeks or so . . . but ADAM "DJ AM" GOLDSTEIN is out and about.
Next Tuesday, friends of his are throwing a party at a Hollywood club called Avalon. Tickets will be $20 each, with proceeds going to memorial funds for the four people who died in the crash.

LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT Right now, we're in the middle of the worst financial crisis in nearly 100 years.

So how did these guys manage to spend so much of OUR money in so little time?
According to the hotel invoice, the AIG executives spent:
$5,016 at the hotel bar.
$6,939 on golf.
$23,380 on spa treatments like massages, manicures and pedicures.

GOOGLE CARES GOOGLE'S EMAIL SERVICE HAS A NEW TOOL TO PREVENT YOU FROM SENDING DRUNKEN EMAILS Are you familiar with the term "drunk dial"? Basically, drunk dialing is what it's called when you've had a few too many drinks . . . and you decide to make an ill-advised phone call (usually to an ex) that you probably wouldn't make if you were sober.
Anyway, on Monday, the geniuses over at Google announced they'll be adding a new tool to their email service (which is called Gmail) . . . which will help prevent users from sending drunken emails.
According to the company, the "Mail Goggles" feature will be activated at night and on weekends . . . when people are most likely to be wasted . . . and will require users to answer five math problems in one minute in order to send an email.
