Over the past four years, Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, a unit of Jim Pattison Group’s Ripley Entertainment Inc., has been on an expansion binge. It opened big new museums in New York, London, San Antonio and Bangalore, India. Four more are to open by mid-2010, in Veracruz, Mexico; Bahrain; Jeju, South Korea; and Surfer’s Paradise, Australia.
As a result, the company says, it is for the first time in its history facing a shortage of A-list oddities…
They are running especially low on shrunken heads.
Have these people not visited Free Republic?

Good morning, pups. It’s Asshat, Bobo and Cohen today. Little Ross thinks he knows something about “Recession and Revolution,” and he says regimes like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Iran may prove far more vulnerable to economic dislocation than their democratic rivals. Bobo says “You Be Obama,” and says as president, you’ve inherited a health care system that is the insane spawn of a team of evil geniuses from an alien power. How will you fix the mess? Mr. Cohen, who is still in Tehran, writes about “Iran on a Razor’s Edge.” He says Iran’s supreme leader says the “hand of God” was evident in the election, but millions of Iranians see the hand of a regime that fears a “velvet revolution.”
Here they are.
The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got bagels and cream cheese this morning. Our old Siamese cat, Victoria, died in her sleep last night so I’m going to go and get another cup of tea and sit in the garden until it’s time for work. Have a good day.
Send em to the next Teabagger.
According to the Daily Show Ahmadinejad won among Soccer Imam’s!
March on, Victoria, march on.
(Former servant of a Siamese cat.)
Watson and Holmes send their best wishes to you knowing that Victoria was very lucky to live at your house.
Very sorry to hear that, and let me also thank you for all you do each morning.

hope it can be recorded somewhere…..
So sorry to hear about your cat, Marion.
my supposedly anti-war rep, jim mcgovern, has reportedly been infected.
As for Ripley’s, how about picking random members of the W admin or Obama’s economics team for the freakshow. Should be enuf to fill up several musuems.
Morning all,
(((Marion and Victoria)))
So sorry, Marion. Victoria is at the Rainbow Bridge.
So what’s the deal with Tauscher moving to State? (Confirm hearings now on cspan3.) Any chance of getting someone more progressive in her district. Article sez Rs are thinking about running a football hero, Brent Jones. Could he win?
Attaturk, couldn’t they get a first edition of “The Road to Baghdad: The Wartime Speeches of George W. Bush”?
Ha. I heard someone told a joke yesterday referring to President O’s note written to that 4th grade teacher. Said George W wrote notes for 4th graders too. They were called speeches.
Did you all know there’s a firedavidletterman website. It looks like it was put up by……(drumroll, please)….John Ziegler.
Must go.
So sorry, Marion for your loss.
