Last weekend Sean Astin was touring college campuses stumping for Obama, but today the "Lord of the Rings" star is back to work at his day job.
Astin, along with co-stars Michael Vartan and David Cross, is filming scenes for the upcoming comedy "Demoted." The movie is about two men who tease a fellow employee and are demoted to the secretarial pool after that co-worker is promoted to their boss.]]>
If slaughtered goats littering your favorite beach isn't a turn off then what about finding needles scattered about? That's exactly what's up at a beach in Milford, Connecticut, about 70 miles outside New York City.
Apparently an eight-year-old boy was walking along Wildemere Beach on Tuesday evening minding his own business when he found a hypodermic needle just hanging out in the sand. Interested in his discovery, he picked up the needle and accidentally stuck himself in the finger.
A police officer looking into the case says that several years ago medical waste washed up that was eventually traced back to Long Island. So classy: Just blame it on Long Island!
