Michael Phelphs Gets CanniBUSTED!
Earlier this week, 14-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps sparked up controversy when a photo showing him smoking from a bong with some buds last November at the University of South Carolina, Columbia. Today, it is reported that because of his seedy behavior, he will jointly be suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming, have financial support from that body cut off for the same period, and will be losing his endorsement from the Kellogg Co. His entire wacky career hasn’t gone up in smoke however as Visa, Inc., Speedo, luxury Swiss watchmaker Omega and sports beverage PureSport’s maker Human Performance Labs, have chosen to stand by their ace. In the end however, I would guess that he is just glad that he didn’t end up in the joint for twenty years.

Ok, so this news isn’t really that new, or important. But, I wanted to give us all something less serious to talk about this Friday evening! But, for me that means that it is almost Shabbat (our beloved bride), thus I must be going!
But you can consider this your Friday evening Soap Box (Open Thread).
