Gun Free Zones: A Mass Murderer’s Dream Come True
My heart is sick. I feel so sorry for those that were murdered, as well as the parents and loved ones of the slain students and professors—and all of us here at ClashRadio.com pray for those whose lives were just senselessly shattered. But imagine if at least one Virginia Tech student (with a concealed weapons permit) had his .40 caliber Glock with him, locked and loaded, when this little Charlie Chan chump began his murderous mayhem last Monday on the Hokie campus? What would have happened differently? Would idiot boy have been able to slay 32 students and professors? I doubt it. But then again . . . who knows? However, I'm a guessin' that this terminal turd might not have dealt out as much death (if any) if the good guy with the gun drew down on him and doubled tapped the center mass of this ass with a couple of 165 grain COR-BON jacket hollow points.

Want to Go to the NFL Draft? Good News: It's Free
I've always thought that half the fun of watching the NFL draft is watching the fans, like this lovely young Giants fan who was delighted to learn that her team had acquired Eli Manning. And part of the fun of watching the fans is that unlike just about every other major sporting event in this country, you don't have to pay big money to get good seats. In fact, you don't have to pay any money at all: Admission is free.The NFL has guidelines for fans who want to get in, and they basically amount to showing up early and being patient:Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 6 a.m. Saturday, April 28, on the 50th Street side of Radio City Music Hall. Fans will NOT be allowed to line up at Radio City prior to 5 a.m. Fans who receive tickets will be able to lineup beginning at 10 a.m.
Susannah's magic pants trick
Mum Caroline Oliver had a breast reduction a year ago but still feels shes dressing to hide a fuller figure. Keen to fix her fashion boob, Trinny and Susannah set about styling the 37-year-old from Northampton to flatter her new curves. I went from a 36FF to a 36D 18 months ago and though Im now happy with my bust size, I seem to have lost my way with knowing what clothes to wear, says Caroline. Having the reduction has made me focus more on my jelly belly, which I didnt notice so much before because it was hidden under my boobs. I also hate my podgy arms. Susannah sympathised with her plight: Often when you have one aspect of your figure altered it brings the rest of it under the spotlight. CLICK HERE TO SEE CAROLINE'S MAKEOVER VIDEO Now that Caroline has been brought down to a more average size, she just needs to learn to adjust and dress to enhance her whole figure.
Are we taking God out of godparenting?
The christening of Geri Halliwell's child, Bluebell Madonna, was deemed so significant that it even sparked the reunion of the Spice Girls (or most of them). Stars flocked to St Michael's Anglican church in Highgate, north London, and socialite Lady Isabella Hervey was moved to remark not on the baby's religious induction but on the fact that the mother looked lovely. "Geri looked stunning," she is quoted as saying. "It was good to see so many Spice Girls back together again and getting on so well." That Bluebell's godmother is the wealthy mother-of-three Victoria Beckham proves again that godparenting is the new rock'n'roll. But what her role will be in the baby's life is anybody's guess. Will God feature in the job he puts his name to? Will Bluebell feel able to confide in her godmother and ask for spiritual guidance the way my older godchildren can with me? I can vouch for the overwhelming feeling of pride in being a godmother three times over.
Telefutura and Jhonny Gonzalez: Spanish for “Refuge”
Included in every boxing fan's Top 100 goals are the following: See as many competitive fights as I can, and learn Spanish. Admittedly, the first goal is higher up the list than the second. Of course, there are also a few bilingual fans who are exceptions. But such exceptional fans are offset by many others who wasted high school elective classes on French and Latin and now need to catch up. Would you believe there's a single resource that can help with both goals and comes free in most basic cable packages? It's called Telefutura, and its invaluable "Solo Boxeo" program is on every Friday. Along with two well-matched weekly brawls, Telefutura also offers humorous, informal commentary and ringside appearances by world champs. But don't mistake this as a charitable plea to help some failing Spanish-language network.
