Montezuma's Revenge Chocolate: For the Serious Chocolate Addict

Montezuma’s Revenge Chocolate may not be the best name for a new type of candy bar. Yet the news that Hershey’s is moving more of its chocolate operations to Mexico has stirred some interest. It also turns out that Hershey’s offers its Mexican employee a better health care plan than it offers its American employees. Considering the growing importance of health care to Americans, we may soon expect to see unemployed Americans illegally crossing into Mexico for the health care benefits.

The news that Al Sharpton is requesting DNA tests to see if he’s related to Strom Thurmond is also interesting. Don’t ask me why, but I keep getting visions of Strom Thurmond stating “Luke, I mean Al, I’m your father.”

A couple in Pennsylvania asked to legally change the name of their son from Desiree to Derrick. They claim they did not realize until he was age six that Desiree was a girl's name. Yes, this might be one of the signs they were not fully prepared to have been parents. Plus, who do they hang out with? It took six years before someone pointed out their boy had a girl’s name? What also gets me is: how do you even pick a name like “Desiree” if you know so little about that name?

I don’t watch the Oscars. If you weren’t aware, they use temporary seat warmers to sit in seats when a celebrity gets up for any reason. That way the camera won’t show any empty seats. What I think they should do is hire homeless people to be seat warmers. In fact, don’t let them shower before and let them bring in the beverage of their choice. Now, that would be an Oscars I’d like to watch.
