WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH $600 MILLION?  Last night's U-S Powerball Lottery jackpot was an estimated 600 million bucks!  That kind of money is unfathomable to me, and I'm sure almost every other "normal" working person.  Apparently there was one single winning ticket sold in Florida, but if there wouldn't have been a winner, the jackpot next week would have ballooned to almost One Billion Dollars!  I can't imagine going from a working stiff to a near-billionaire, what would you do with that kind of dough?  It's still not the biggest lottery jackpot in American history though, read the story here.

TORONTO'S MAYOR IN TROUBLE AGAIN... I'm not one to revel in someone else's misery, that's not what this is about.  This is about entertainnment.  Here in Edmonton we're all sick & tired of a city council that foolishly spends our money on unnecessary ventures when we need lots of infrastructure upgrades.  That's basically the only controversy we see in Edmonton politics, but we need to get those clowns out of city hall, so VOTE THIS FALL!  In Toronto, Mayor Rob Ford is in trouble again, this time for allegedly smokin' crack on video.  I'm not judging, all I'm ...

LOC'R ROOM TOPIC OF THE DAY... Today is the kickoff to the unofficial start of Summer, so I'll keep today's topic in line with that.  What's your favourite May Long Weekend tradition?

TEXT WORD OF THE DAY... "BARBECUED MEAT"  Here's why... 1. You may have heard Seanna mention yesterday that it was "National Bar-B-Q Day," and 2. With the May Long Weekend here, an animal rights group called "Mercy For Animals Canada" has started a nation-wide bus shelter ad campaign that compares pets to the animals we eat.  It sounds like the posters are pretty funny too, especially if you're a meat eater.  One of the ads features a puppy beside a piglet and the caption reads, "Why love one but eat the other?"  Uh, because meat's delicious, right?  Anyway, it'll be funny to see how much controversy, if any, this generates.  Read about the campaign here or here, and ...

LOC'R ROOM TOPIC OF THE DAY... Today I'm gonna keep it nice and simple.  What is something your spouse does that drives you crazy?

TEXT WORD OF THE DAY... So, city council and billionaire Oilers owner, Daryl Katz, have finally come to an agreement on the new downtown arena complex.  Great, what about our pothole problem?!  Look, I love the Oilers but I'm sick of how this city has such a one-dimensional identity; can't city council tackle some real issues for once?  On that note, Oilers forever, and here's today's TEXT WORD OF THE DAY: ARENA DEAL.  Shortly after 5:00 this afternoon, I'll ask you to text me the "Text Word Of The Day" and you could be the proud new owner of tickets to Gigantour with Megadeth, Black Label Society, Newsted, Device and many more, on July 26th at Rexall Place!
