Good
morning to you, today is Tuesday, January 24, and I am your humble host, the
sultan of sarcasm, 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 Tuesday edition of The
Morning Wake Up Call.
Sports
The
Patriots defeated the Ravens and then the Giants defeated the 49ers. So the Pats and the Giants will face off in 2
weeks for the Super Bowl.

with cancer.
Election
Gingrich

how things turn out in Florida.
Heidi Klum a single
woman – Daily Caller
It looks like Heidi Klum is saying “auf Wiedersehen” to
her husband, Seal.
The German supermodel and Grammy-winning singer announced their
separation on Sunday night, People reports. It seemed like one of Hollywood’s strongest
unions: The couple were together for nearly a decade — which is at least three
decades in Hollywood years. But the
marriage couldn’t sustain distance, with the couple’s home in L.A. and Klum
shooting Project Runway in New York City.
Marital strain reportedly came from Klum’s success in her career,
while Seal’s musical career hasn’t hit a high note since the 1990s. (We can’t
remember anything he’s done since “Kissed By A Rose”).
The couple have three children together: Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and
Lou, 2. Klum’s daughter, Leni, 7, is from a previous relationship.
Same Sex Marriage – NPR
Citing the Golden Rule and saying that
"all men and women in our state [should] enjoy the same privileges that
are so important in my life," the last legislator needed to pass same-sex
marriage legislation in Washington State announced this afternoon that she will
support the measure.
Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, a Democrat, posted a statement about her decision here.
Her support gives proponents "the
25 votes needed for passage" in the state's Democratic-controlled Senate, according to The Seattle Times. There already was
enough support in the state House (also Democratic controlled) and Gov.
Christine Gregoire (D) has said she would sign such
legislation.
Moose Fight – Huffington Post
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An 85-year-old
Alaska woman used a grain shovel to fend off an agitated moose that was
stomping her husband. George Murphy says
his wife saved his life. The Anchorage
Daily News (http://bit.ly/yahDtF) says the 82-year-old pilot, who flew for
three decades for the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, was hiking with his golden
retrievers near the Willow airport Friday. He saw the moose and dove in the
snow, but the moose started stomping him.
His wife, Dorothea, who is 5 feet tall and weighs 97 pounds, grabbed a
big shovel and hit the moose in the body and head. She ran for help, and Murphy was rushed by
medical helicopter to an Anchorage hospital. He was in good condition Monday
with a gash to his head.
Congressional Twitter – The Hill
Rep. Adrian Smith (R-Neb.) signed onto Twitter on
Monday. His Twitter handle is @RepAdrianSmith.
“I am excited about expanding my use of social media, which has proven to be an
effective way of sharing important and timely information about the critical
issues facing our country,” Smith said in a statement released by his office. He has only tweeted once so far: “Welcome
to my official Twitter account. Be sure to follow me to stay connected. Proud
to represent NE's 3rd District in Congress! Pls RT” Smith’s debut means that all three of
Nebraska’s House representatives and both senators are now accessible by
Twitter.
