Good
morning to you, today is Friday, January 27, 2012, and I am your humble host,
the sultan of satire, the purveyor of non-pertinent information, the troublemaker
extraordinaire and I am coming to you recorded from the Eagle’s nest here at
wake up central with news you can’t use here on the TGI Friday edition of The
Morning Wake Up Call.
Hillary Steppin Down
Hillary
Clinton has said she
wants to step off the "high wire of American politics", again
quashing speculation that she might stay in government if Barack Obama wins a
second term in the White House.
She told state department
employees on Thursday she was ready for a rest and is paying no attention to
the Republican presidential candidate debates. She said she wanted to find out
how tired she was after being first lady, senator, aspiring presidential
candidate and finally the US secretary of state.
"I have made it
clear that I will certainly stay on until the president nominates someone and
that transition can occur [if Obama wins re-election," she told a meeting.
"But I think after 20 years, and it will be 20 years, of being on the high
wire of American politics and all of the challenges that come with that, it
would be probably a good idea to just find out how tired I am."
Robber nabbed by 80 year old man
The owner of an Oak Park
market fought back against a clown mask-wearing robber, chasing the armed
suspect from the store within seconds and snagging an important clue for
investigators.
Surveillance video
showed the encounter between 80-year-old Baldev Dhillon and the unidentified
suspect unfold quickly inside Dhillon’s business, clearly showing the suspect
aim a gun at Dhillon as he stepped into the store.
Dhillon’s entire family,
including two young grandchildren, was inside the store as the robbery took
place.
“My legs were
shivering,” said 11-year-old Hirdayjot Dhillon.
As the robber closed in
on the store own, Baldev Dhillon hardly flinched before grabbing for the gun,
throwing the suspect off balance. The suspect backpedaled quickly as Dhillon
pressed his counter-attack and then fled altogether as the store owner grabbed
the clown mask by its long dreadlocks, yanking the mask off his head.
Family members said they
heard the click of the trigger as the robber tried to shoot, but the gun never
fired.
Police believe the
suspect is the same man who robbed two stores on January 19 while wearing the
same mask. Shots were fired in both incidents, but no injuries were reported.
Bikram Dhillon, the son
of the business owner, said he isn’t surprised his father jumped into action so
quickly — he served as a police chief in India for 30 years.
“If somebody threatens
his family, he will fight,” Bikram said.
Ultimate Wedding Gift
A bride who was in
desperate need of a kidney transplant is looking forward to married life after
the best man at her wedding was found to be the perfect match.
Leanne Stefanovic, 31,
needed dialysis for nine hours every day and was constantly tired after
suffering kidney failure for the past four years.
But now, she is recovering after a successful transplant in Leeds thanks to her new husband’s best friend Stuart Kilgannon, 39, who donated one of his kidneys.
