Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Welcome to a new year and a new decade, folks! I don’t know
about you, but I feel excited to be in 2010. I know some
exciting things are going to happen this year, and I feel
they are going to be good things, too.

There is an old saw which says that those who refuse to learn
the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it. Before we get
into 2010 let’s learn a few lessons from 2009 with some of the
more memorable quotes from the people who have influenced the
world and its culture…

“Stop wearing a suit and tie to bed.” – Former US Republican
presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, when asked about his New
Year’s resolutions.

“I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week
and get up and go to work every day, no problem. But we never
hear that side of the story.” — Singer Lily Allen

“People have lost their sense of humor. In former times, we
constantly made jokes about different races.” — Clint
Eastwood doesn’t want to be politically correct.

“I promise you, I get it. I will not spend a single penny for
the purpose of rewarding a single Wall Street executive.”
— US President Barack Obama

“When you face such an overwhelming challenge as global
climate change, it can be daunting – it’s kind of like trying
to lose weight.” — US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

“I’m a guy who doesn’t see anything good having come from the
Internet.” — Michael Lynton, CEO of Sony Pictures Entertain-
ment

“I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish.
Their actions violate a lot of public interests. They do not
really dare kill themselves.” — Lai Jiansheng, who pushed a
man threatening suicide off a bridge in China after he had
held up traffic for five hours

“What’s up London?” — Britney Spears addressing audience at
her show in Manchester

“Some employees may prefer weapons such as chain saws, base-
ball bats and explosives that have been shown to be effective
against zombies.” — University of Florida in a disaster pre-
paredness plan on its e-Learning website on how to deal with
a campus-wide zombie attack

Bizarrely,

Lewis

——— Boy tried to give away family’s money ———–

MUNCIE, Ind. – An Indiana fifth-grader is in hot water
with his grandparents for taking $10,331 from a safe and
attempting to distribute it to classmates, authorities
said. Delaware County sheriff’s deputies said the Selma
Elementary School student took the money from a safe at
the home where he lives with his custodial grandparents
and handed out a little more than $300 to classmates on
the bus ride to school before teachers confiscated the
cash, the Muncie (Ind.) Star-Press reported Wednesday.
“I doubt any of our administrators have experienced this
before,” Principal Joel Mahaffey said. He declined to
comment further on the incident. Deputies said the boy
was sent home with his grandmother. They said the money,
which was in the sheriff’s department’s custody, would
likely be returned to the family Monday.

———- Groom surprised with airport wedding ————

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – A Texas woman said she celebrated
the airport reunions and goodbyes of her long distance
relationship by surprising her boyfriend with an airport
wedding. Robyn Moore said she greeted her boyfriend,
William Acosta, Monday at Corpus Christi International
Airport with a camera and a wedding party ready to make
good on the marriage license they filled out last week,
the Corpus Christi Caller-Times reported. “When I walked
up and saw her, it just took my breath away,” Acosta said.
“She looks really beautiful.” Moore said she and Acosta met
while she was living in Dallas and he visited the city for
business. She said she is now planning to move to Toledo,
Ohio, to live with her new husband, who teaches computer
science at a university in the city. “I’ve got the best
Christmas present in the whole world,” Moore said, “this
is what every bride-to-be wants.”
