Current Sign of the Apocalypse

Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich is seeking court permission to appear in a reality television show based in the jungles of Costa Rica.

And now for the betting odds: 

1:10 that he attempts to control his coiffure with a comb fashioned from a seashell.

1:2 that he smuggles in Snickers and refuses to share with everybody because he "has this [expletive] thing and it's [expletive] golden. [He's] not going to just [expletive] give it away. [Expletive!]."

1:1.5 that he's called an a**hole, d*****bag, and whiner by his fellow contestants.

1:1000 that the fellow contestants fashion a Blagojevich voodoo doll from his hair and burn it.

1:1.25 that when he's voted off the island, he refuses to acknowledge his dismissal and goes straight to the TV cameras and declares that there is a reality TV show conspiracy against him.

What the hell

Now you can test your child to see if they have genetic potential to become a famous athlete. Nevermind all that hogwash about "environmental factors," or "talent," or the fact that the test can't predict the quality of an athlete.  Now we get to have a new generation of parents pushings 6 year olds to be the next Mia Hamm, Michael Jordan, and Michael Phelps with a genetic test to back it up.
