Coffee Talk1. First of all, if you live in the Southeast Missouri area take a minute and look at our dog, Squeekerz, he’s been missing since last week. You can view his picture here. If you’ve seen him, please contact me at outsidethestacks@live.com. Thank you so much!

2. Clint Eastwood was the mystery speaker at the Republican National Convention. sigh I love his movies. He plays the cantankerous guy with a heart of gold really well but seeing him last night was, well, kinda sad. I want him to always be Dirty Harry. I want him to always be that grizzled man’s man who makes women swoon. I don’t want him to be old.

3. So, uh, Snooki’s a mom now. I have no words. Actually, I do. I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she’s going to be a good mom and she’s going to give her son the love and discipline he needs.

What had you scratching your head this week?
