Backhands to all of us. According to a recent Newsweek story, 29 percent of Americans do not know who the Vice President of the United States is. Awkwardly, Joe Biden is among this group, still not quite sure why people keep asking him to sign things and travel to pancake breakfasts in middle America.

Big Ups to Kim Kardashian. Following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the television star decided to auction off an afternoon spending time with her, with all of the proceeds going to Japan relief. We’re just not sure how much people will bid, as you can see just about all you want of her online.

Big Ups to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. While driving to work to hear a case concerning discrimination claims against Wal-Mart, Scalia rear ended another driver and received a fine of $70. Scalia then went to his office and promptly declared laws about minor traffic accidents uncon- stitutional.

Big Ups to Betty White. The 89-year-old actress will host a new hidden camera reality show called “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers,” which seems to be a version of “Jackass” by Hannah Spry with a team of senior citizens in the place of Johnny Knoxville and crew.

An office in the corner is empty in the middle of the day. The biggest gathering place in town, Pines Academy, has the only paved parking lot. Hardly any cars fill the 50-yard, snow-covered lot in the middle of town. A yel- low bus waits for its passengers in the cover of a couple of the large trees. The main entrance to the school looks old; a bell inside a wooden structure sits above the door. A fallen sign reads “Rulon Allred Memorial Park: est. 1961” in a playground next to the academy.

There is a special bond between the full siblings, but the half siblings are still brothers and sisters. She has a good relationship with them too. “When they come home for the holidays, they’ll come down to my house and give me a big hug,” she said.
