Boys left with injured tongues after sticking them to flagpole
CHESTERTON, IN — Two fourth-grade boys mimicking a scene from the movie “A Christmas Story” wound up with their tongues stuck to a frozen flagpole. Gavin Dempsey and James Alexander were serving on flag duty at Jackson Elementary School Friday morning, with the job of raising and lowering the school’s flags. They decided to see if their tongues really would stick to the cold metal.
“I decided to try it because I thought all of the TV shows were lies, but turns out I was wrong,” Gavin said.
Billie Dempsey, Gavin’s mom, said a nurse called them to tell them the boys’ tongues were bleeding.
“The nurse asked them, ‘OK, who double-dog dared who?”‘ Billie Dempsey said, a reference to a phrase that a character in the movie used to dare another child to stick his tongue to the pole.

T.D. Jakes has his own line of greeting cards
American Greetings is selling a new collection of inspirational and religious greeting cards featuring the pastor, titled “Gentle Guidance and Inspirational Messages by T.D. Jakes.” The pastor picked the messages himself, culling from years of sermons and books, spokesman Curtis Coat said.
“We think our messages are far and away some of the most moving on the market today,” he added.
One birthday card, for instance, urges the recipient to “celebrate who you are. You are the image of God.” Along with the message in each card is a Bible verse.
Mr. Jakes is pastor of the Potter’s House in Dallas, a congregation that has grown from 50 families to more than 30,000 members since the church opened in 1996.
I always found it a bit odd
 . . . that the press gets a copy of the speech the president gives at the State of the Union.Â
It kinda takes the excitement out of the whole thing.
