And so, the clock runs out on another weekend as we near the last day of what has been one of the deadliest months for celebrities in recent memory. I don’t know if that’s actually true, but it feels<\/em><\/strong> like it’s true, and that’s all that matters (I’d use the word “truthiness,” but I was reading a review of the Ford Fiesta in Automobile Magazine<\/em> – yeah, I get that for free for some reason; don’t ask me why, as I really don’t much care about cars, but I’m kind of a free magazine whore, and when they offer, I just take ’em – and they said that “truthiness” was a “Generation Y” word, so I guess I can’t use it. It makes me wonder what comes after Generation Z, though).<\/p>\n

I didn’t have a chance to pay much attention to “current events” over the weekend, other than to keep an eye on the celebrity death watch (Abe Vigoda is still hanging in there<\/a>, by the way), but I did catch a couple of things. <\/p>\n

The President had a luau over the weekend at the White House, in lieu of the traditional “Congressional Picnic.” I wasn’t invited, but it sure did look like lots of fun (I’d say it’s the most leis in the White House in one day since the Clinton Administration, but that sort of humor is beneath me). Anyhow, it’s nice that our congress critters had a good time. They work so gosh darn hard doing the people’s business, they deserve to have some fun once in a while. Too bad our NYS Senators couldn’t attend, but Governor Blinky still has them grounded until they finish their homework.<\/p>\n

There was some sort of coup in Honduras, which is a country to the south of here, I think. Kind of like Mexico, only “southier” (and a little “eastier”). Apparently the military swooped in, arrested their President and packed him off to Costa Rica. But they didn’t kill him, which doesn’t seem very Central American Military Coup-like. They obviously weren’t trained at the School of the Americas.<\/p>\n

John “Poppa” Boehner called the recently passed (in the House, anyway) Climate Bill a “pile of shit<\/a>.” Ironically, I think John Boehner is a pile of shit. He’s just afraid he’ll have to cut down on his tanning booth hours. Cap and Trade, Johnny. I’ll sell you some of my carbon offsets.<\/p>\n

Bernie Madoff gets sentenced today. His lawyer says he should get 12 years. Prosecutors want 150 years. Hey, why not just split the difference?<\/p>\n

An Argentinian woman has admitted knocking boots<\/a> (as Andy Sipowicz used to say) with Mark Sanford. She looks kinda like Claudia Black from Farscape. In an effort to be fair and balanced on the political sex scandal front, I’ll mention that one of John Edwards’ former aides says John and his<\/em><\/strong> squeeze made a sex tape. Oy, let’s hope that one stays hidden.<\/p>\n

I reckon that’s about all, and I have to get ready for work anyway (aint that a revoltin’ development).<\/p>\n

Oh, and this just in from the Today Show: Michael Jackson is still<\/em><\/strong> dead. The Jackson Family is mourning the loss of its top earner<\/del> beloved member. Any predictions as to who comes out with the first tell-all book?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
