It's quittin time and we wanted to tell everyone to be careful on the roads this afternoon, we just received some exclusive photos from a reader of the I-95 Southbound closing at Bowden Road due to a traffic accident. All lanes are closed due to a gasoline spill and the police are rerouting traffic into the emergency lanes. Needless to say, traffic is pretty bad this afternoon. Take your time and drive safely.

Hard Candy - Review

We've spent all morning listening to the brand new Madonna Hard Candy CD and we MUST say it is effin stellar, off the chain, badass. A few standout tracks include "Give It 2 Me", "The Beat Goes On", "Dance 2 Night", and "Miles Away". Pretty much every song on the disc has a high point and we think this is going to be one of her most universally accepted works ever.

Thanks to our peeps that got us an advanced copy!

On eBay

People are so crazy! Check out this eBay auction and bid on a "spicy pork rind that looks like Jesus holding a lamb!" LOL.

"This is really weird! I was eating my lunch(Simms Hot & Spicy pork rinds & cottage cheese...trying to get back on Atkins diet :)) & I picked up a pork rind & just happened to look at it before I put it in my mouth & I thought it looked like a picture or sculpture I have seen somewhere of Jesus sitting holding a lamb ! What do you think?? I can see Jesus's face & the lambs face & ear & legs & body & Jesus's hands and arms around it & his robe hanging down. It looks like he is sitting & holding the lamb on his lap & nuzzling it. If anyone recalls the picture or sculpture I'm thinking of, please let me know! I looked a little online & didn't find it. It was really hard to get a really good close-up picture..I took several so you can hopefully see it as I see it. Anyway, I was listing stuff on eBay already & thought I'd list this too! Ya' never know! Makes my store name a little more appropriate, don't you think??"

Hilary Can Still Win

This video is awesome. Check out a well devised solution for Hilary Clinton to win the Presidency.

Our New Favorite News Lady

After watching this video of CBS47 News Reporter Cathi Carson we have decided that she is our new favorite local news personality. We loved watching the former Miami Attorneys intimate lunch with her brother in Sarasota. That Martini (and then wine) looks delicious!

Represent

This video for Martina McBrides song For These Times shows Jacksonville locals writing out their wishes on a whiteboard. If you look real close you might see Amadeus from Gator Country 99.9.

Money for Plasma

Check out this sign from the Cedar Hills shopping center off of Blanding Boulevard. Times are tough....
