Get some Super on your Duper and let your Bowl roll, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers
It was so cold in Kentucky, relatives got in bed together just for the warmth.
I think I have this stock market thing figured out: when the picture in the paper shows the New York Stock Exchange traders smiling, buy; when it shows them holding their heads, sell.
Tough economic times are even hitting the Super Bowl. Did you know that Fox is selling advertising space on Terry Bradshaw’s head?
Is it just me or does this Rod Blagojevich guy look like the car salesman who pushes the undercoating?
Is it just me or does this Rod Blagojevich guy look like the car salesman who winks and makes the double-clicky noise at all of the dealer’s secretaries?
Wall Street paid $18 billion of tax money from the bail out to bonuses. This makes the federal money the Katrina victims spent on champagne and strippers seem like a good investment.
Rush Limbaugh said he is not going to bend over and grab his ankles because President Barack Obama is black. In a related story there is now a hotline for those who need to get the image of Rush bending over and grabbing his ankles out of your head. 1-800 Eww Rush.
Is it me or does this Rod Blagojevich look like the dishwasher repairman who tells you they’ll have to order the part you need from the factory? “We ain’t got dat there part here, ya see.”
Is it me or does Rod Blagojevich look like the carpet cleaning guy who tells you the discount they were advertising doesn’t apply to your job?
Rod Blagojevich has been voted out of office. But you wait, this guy is like the Black Knight in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” Chop off his arms and legs and he’ll just keep fighting.
Mental health experts are furious over articles that describe Rod Blagojevich as crazy. They find the comparison of their clinically insane patients to Blagojevich offensive. That is when you know you’re in trouble, when people call you crazy and then crazy people get offended.

Did you see that incredibly touching tribute David Letterman paid to Bill Hicks and, more importantly, Bill Hick’s mother, Mary?
The back story is that great cult-figure comedian Bill Hicks – who had an admitted history of substance abuse problems – gave a performance on Letterman’s show and, as it did have some controversial material, Letterman decided to cut it out. At the time I made the assumption, as did a lot of people, it was Hick's drug problems that caused the edit. Not the case.
Apparently, Hicks took this rejection very badly and what Letterman did not know at the time is that Hicks was gravely ill with terminal pancreatic cancer. Friends and family of Hicks said this Letterman rejection threw Hicks into a downward spiral that hastened his inevitable death.
Letterman took this to heart and felt truly awful about it for 14 years. An impeccable inside source has told me that, although he is an admitted task master who is as hard on himself as he is on his staff, David Letterman is the consummate nice man and a stand up Midwestern gentleman. Gruff at times, but who is perfect?
Dave had Bill Hick’s sweet but no B.S. mom, Mary, on his show and apologized and admitted his mistake. And then he showed the clip of Hick’s routine and it was really good. It really showed what a unique insight Hicks had into society and its absurdities. Bill Hicks was way ahead of his time at spotting the hypocrisy of political correctness. But more to the point, the man was funnier than hell.
What really breaks my heart is this class gesture by Letterman shows how, no matter how hard you try, and Letterman could not have tried more, there really isn’t any going back and correcting a wrong you made at the spur of the moment that hurt people badly.
But what breaks my heart even more is that I am terribly afraid the kinder-and-gentler-as-a-father Letterman is hurting about what he did to Bill Hicks and his mother because Letterman may feel his time is short with his sweet mother, Dorothy.
Man, I hope I am wrong.
