(Jake Novak and Jim Barach are awesome. Not sure who those other guys are)

Fail safe
At a press conference, NBA commissioner David Stern urged NBA players not to carry firearms in public because it is dangerous. Except the New York Knicks, they can carry guns because they can’t ever hit anything they shoot at.

Icy
Relations between President Bush and North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong Il aren’t getting any better. It didn’t help that Bush said he refused to negotiate with Jong Il, and it really didn’t help when Bush referred to Kim Jong Il as the spawn of the unholy union of Elvis and Mini Me.

Get it? He sure will
George Clooney was rated the 1# man’s man in an online poll. You know who is really going to be a man’s man? Enron’s Jeff Skilling when he gets to prison.

And she wonders why we hate her
Madonna was on “Oprah” and scolded the media for her bad publicity during her African toddler adoption. Then, after complaining about publicity, Madonna then hoisted herself on a 12-foot cross while wearing a cone bra and then she made out with Britney Spears.


Just kidding, TomKat
The Supreme Court of New Jersey has ruled that gay people should be allowed the same rights of marriage. So I guess Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will have their ceremony in New Jersey.

2 for 1
Halloween is coming up soon. I couldn’t decide what to go as; it was between going as an Oakland Raider or a Zombie but then I figured out, heck, they’re the same thing.

Catchy
President Bush is no longer using his Iraq phrase “Stay the course.” Instead he’s going with the phrase “Any more questions? Oh, hey, look at the time, gotta go.”

Take that, Al Davis
FIFA, the governing body of soccer, revealed that more than half of the players who received medical treatment on the field during this summer's World Cup were faking injuries. Can you imagine athletes lying on the field pretending to be hurt? I mean besides Oakland Raiders.

Wet
The World Series was rained out Wednesday. It was so wet Kenny Rogers couldn’t keep the pine tar on his hand.

A Janice Hough collaboration
The ratings for Fox’s broadcast of the World Series have been terrible. In fact, if the ratings get any worse they’ll have to switch the Series to NBC.
