Fast Food Toy Ban

Call it an unhappy meal. New York City

Councilman Leroy Comrie is unhappy about those fast-food kids

meals. He says he'll introduce a bill today that would ban

give-away toys with unhealthy meals. He adds the measure will also

create an incentive for restaurants to cook up healthier options.

The New York State Restaurant Association counters that the

proposal "robs parents of choice."

I'm just of the opinion, that even though it seems like its really hard in this country, lets try not to suck the fun out of everything. 

"GLEE'S" RYAN MURPHY APOLOGIZES TO KINGS OF LEON

"Glee" creator Ryan Murphy is apologizing

to Kings of Leon for telling them off after they refused to have

"Glee" cover their music. Murphy had called Kings of Leon

"self-centered" and told them, "Forget you," only in a less

censored way. The Foo Fighters might have changed Murphy's mind,

because Murphy is a Foo Fighters fan and they stood by Kings of

Leon. He tells The Hollywood Reporter he understands when artists

don't want their personal work interpreted by someone else and he

thinks both Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon are cool.

Of course he only thinks Kings of Leon are cool because of Foo Fighters.

Goose Chasing Dogs

Good dog -- bad geese. Some Ohio businesses are using dogs to chase away geese during their mating season. It seems a guy goose will fly directly at people, hissing and trying to hit them. The gander is just protecting his mate. But trained dogs are being used to get the geese to go. That's according to biologist Gary Ludwig of the Division of Wildlife. He tells The Columbus Dispatch geese want an area that's more comfortable for them. Meaning no dogs.  Anyway thats your Morning Buzz advice for the day.  When I picked this story I thought it was going to be about a gosse chasing a bunch of dogs and be really funny, oh well. Another lesson for the day, read stuff before you go on air. 

Soap Lake Lamp

A Washington state architect has a bright idea -- a giant Lava Lamp. Andy Kovach has designed a 60-foot-tall lamp that would sit on a rock bluff at the south end of Soap Lake. A local paper (Wenatchee World) reports supporters are planning a $1 million fundraising effort. The Lava Lamp lovers say the giant light would be a tourist attraction. The first plans for a giant Lava Lamp at the lake fell through nearly a decade ago.  Would anybody actually stop to see this lamp???  What is it with these people and putting a giant lava lamp next to their lake??? They actually wanted to try this 10 weeks ago???

Old Judge

Federal Judge Wesley Brown was appointed by President Kennedy a half century ago. He's still hearing cases at age 103, as a senior judge in Kansas. It's not merely an honorary post. Senior judges conduct trials and handle civil and criminal matters. Federal officials say without the semi-retired judges the courts could sink under the load. So, there's plenty of work for a judge who has passed the century mark.  Does anybody else question this guys decision making ability???

Ferry For Sale

It seemed like a good deal at the time -- a used New York City ferry. But now the owner has that sinking feeling. A former marina owner (Jacques Guillet) bought the ferry for $162,000 three years ago. He planned to convert it into a dorm for college students. But finding a parking space in the Big Apple is tough, especially for a 300-foot-long ferry boat. The city wanted to charge a-thousand bucks a day. The ferry owner is now docking it in Staten Island for six-grand a month. He tells The Wall Street

Journal he's trying to sell the ferry.

College Unplugged

Amherst College has a message for students-- unplug. The Massachusetts liberal arts school is asking students to turn off their gizmos -- at least for a few minutes this coming Friday. The idea is to get the students thinking about the harmful effects of excessive technology use. The school would like students to power-down their laptops, smartphones and iPods for at least 15 minutes Friday. Who knows? The college kids may find that friending doesn't have to involve a computer or Facebook.

Hey Amherst students, my suggestion is to just take 15 separate minutes off from each, than you'll still have the other things while your taking a break from the one item.
