Twinkie cheese dogs could part of the seventh-inning stretch at a Michigan minor league ball park. Officials of the West Michigan Whitecaps are asking fans to vote on new concession-stand offerings. One possibility is the Twinkie cheese dog. It's a hot dog stuck in a Twinkie and covered with cheese. Last year's diet buster is staying on the menu. It's the four-pound, 4,800-calorie Fifth Third Burger.   

Yuck...I would never try this combination!  Would you????

A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF REPRESENTATION WE HAVE IN CONGRESS, TRUE STORY: 

A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where Nancy Pelosi happened to appear. Ms Pelosi took the opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a question with which he was most at ease. 

'Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' she asked, 'how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?' 

'Nothing is easier,' he replied. 'You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that puts you on the track.' 

'What sort of question?' asked Pelosi. 

Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?''

Pelosi thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh, 'You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don't know much about history.'

"The analysts are in agreement: The Detroit Lions will take a defensive tackle with the No. 2 pick in the NFL draft – Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh or Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy.

NFL Network's Mike Mayock and ESPN's Todd McShay think St. Louis will take McCoy first overall and Suh will fall to the Lions. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. is sticking with Suh first overall, McCoy second.

In a conference call today, Kiper was asked about the chances the Lions would not take Suh or McCoy. He said second overall "a little high for a corner," as good as Florida's Joe Haden might be, and there was no running back worthy of the pick, including Clemson's C.J. Spiller.

Kiper said the Lions would be happy with Suh or McCoy.
"Both of those kids are outstanding players, because they both give you one thing – consistent productivity – and most defensive tackles don't," Kiper said. "Most defensive tackles had a game here or there where they weren't quite as good and they leveled off a bit. These two guys brought it every game."
Kiper said both would fit the Lions' system well. "
