You say potato, and I say potahto. Politically.  And in some ways--and only sometimes--that makes for some humor.

STEVE HARVEY FOR THE WIN

"There was no teleprompter to blame when host Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner" at the December 20th Miss Universe contest, said pageant judge Perez Hilton.  It came down to Harvey reading his results card incorrectly.  Harvey is sorry, hopefully the girls are okay, and hey - next year there's room for improvement.      story            

Principle in the type:  "Become really, really good at forgiving. . . . Forgive everyone, everything, all the time, or at least strive to do so, thus allowing forgiveness into your own life.  Don’t hold grudges, don’t be easily offended, forgive and forget quickly, and don’t ever think that you are exempt from this commandment."      Jorg Klebingat

TEA'GATE

Did you know Adele's in trouble (well, British trouble) for making her tea wrong?  Poor lass.  In her latest music video Hello, it "clearly shows Adele pouring the water into the cup and putting the teabag in second like some kind of monster."   story             I mean, I think she did fine but then again, I don't make the tea rules.  Anywho, personally I'm more obsessed with her gorge eyeliner.  If you care to see both the tea and eyes for yourself, the video's below.

AFTER HELL

Now 18 years old, Anthony Sukto was stabbed by his father and left for dead as an 8 year-old, immediately following the stabbing death of his mother.  That part of the story is too horrifying to dwell on.   Sukto survived, is well - mentally and emotionally  - and an example to others for sure.  " 'Every time I would think of my dad, I would think of hate," says Anthony. "the only way I could find peace and love within myself was to forgive my father.' "    story          

Principle in the type:  "The spirit must be freed from tethers so strong and feelings never put to rest, so that the lift of life may give buoyancy to the soul. . . . Only forgiveness heals."    Thomas S. Monson
