Bernie Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in jail this week. Madoff crunched the numbers and according to his projections, he should be free in 1987.

In South Carolina, it’s still uncertain whether Mark Stanford will resign, but if he does, Lt. Governor Andre Bauer said he’s ready to step in. Bauer said he’s looking forward to fulfilling all the duties of the governorship, though he admitted there are a lot of holes to fill, and Argentinian women aren’t really his type.

In Europe, they have developed a universal cell phone charger that will work on all standard-made cell phones. Unbelievable, even the Europeans’ cell phone chargers are socialist.
Republicans immediately responded rejecting the idea of universal cell phone chargers saying Americans deserve a cell phone charging system that is uniquely American, meaning it should be expensive, hopelessly complicated, and exclude at least 47 million people.

Obama has gotten some heat in recent weeks for advancing his anti-smoking legislation while he remains a smoker. But as Obama pointed out, he doesn’t let his personal life interfere with public policy. For example, in his personal life he’s apparently very open to homosexuals, but he’s been careful to make sure there’s no evidence of this in his actual policy.

I know everyone is reeling from the news about Michael Jackson’s passing, but there was another sad loss, particularly to those in the advertising business. Famous advertising pitchman Billy Mays has died. Billy was famous for pitching products like OxiClean and Mighty Mendit in Direct Response TV ads.

This last weekend, the US Soccer team almost pulled a huge upset in the soccer world, losing to Brazil by the score of 3-2. I’m not a huge soccer guy, but I watched the entire match. The American’s played admirably, though I have to think they would have done better had they not stuck to their questionable game plan of only using their feet.

A man was arrested after he called 911 to complain about an Incorrect order at McDonald’s. I know that sounds like a misuse of 911, but just look at how badly they screwed up the guy’s order: He ordered a Big Mac Meal, no onions, light sauce, a super-sized French fry, and a Diet Coke without ice. Instead, he got stabbed in the neck. That’s pretty a bad screw-up.

Iraqis pored into the streets to celebrate the departure of (uh, some) U.S. Troops from Iraq. So there you have it, Cheney was right when he said we’d be greeted like liberators by the Iraqis. He just didn’t mention it would be when we liberated the Iraqi’s from us, not from Saddam…

Thank you folks, I’ll be here all week. Be sure to tip your waitress.
Bernie Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in jail this week. Madoff crunched the numbers and according to his projections, he should be free in 1987.
Since Madoff is 72, it’s being reported that Madoff will most likely die in federal prison. Most likely? Wow, way to go out on a limb on that one.
In South Carolina, it’s still uncertain whether Mark Stanford will resign yet, but if he does, the Lt. Governor Andre Bauer could step in and be governor until there can be an election in 2010. Bauer said he’s looking forward to fulfilling all the duties of the office of the governor, though he admitted he’s not really that into Argentinean women.
In Europe, they have developed a universal cell phone charger that will work on all standard-made cell phones. See, even the Europeans cell phone chargers are socialist.
Republicans immediately responded rejecting the idea of universal cell phone chargers saying Americans deserve a cell phone charging system that is uniquely American, meaning as confusing and wasteful as our health care system.

Excellent point on Cheney:
Iraqis pored into the streets to celebrate the departure of (uh, some) U.S. Troops from Iraq. So there you have it, Cheney was right when he said we’d be greeted like liberators by the Iraqis. He just didn’t mention it would be when we liberated the Iraqi’s from us, not from Saddam…
I missed connecting those two dots!
