While Japan might have a problem with missing centenarians, America keeps track of its older people, and they keep in touch with everyone else. Widely believed to be the world’s oldest living man, Walter Breening is turning a hale and hearty 114 years old.  Not only is he having a birthday, he’s celebrating with a big party at the Rainbow Retirement Community in Great Falls, Montana, where he’ll be giving a speech to the assembled dignitaries!  The world’s oldest man’s birthday guests include Montana governor Brian Schweitzer and officials from the Guinness World Records organization.

Want to know how old Breuning is?  Well, he was born in 1896, when the Presidential debate was between William McKinley and William Jennings Bryant.  Since his birth, he’s seen 5 new states added to the US and has lived under the reign of 20 different US presidents.  He was an employee of the Great Northern Railroad for a staggering 50 years (and which merged with a bunch of other railroads in 1970).  Breuning’s wife Agnes died in 1957.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
