Former President George W. Bush’s “Decision Points” will be out in November. Originally it was intended to be a much longer book due out in 2011. Until Sarah Palin gave him the advice – Ah, just quit and say you’re done.”

“Decision Points,”George W. Bush’s new book, will be in the stores November 9. The former President is very excited. Laura has promised to read it to him.

Once again, an exploration team claims to have discovered the remains of Noah’s Ark. The team hope to authenticate their find by a written account they found amongst the wooden beams, detailing a pre-trip interview Noah had on “Larry King Live.”

Prince Andrew’s and Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson’s daughter Princess Beatrice became the first royal to complete the London Marathon this past weekend. Although Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, still holds the record as the only royal to compete in the Grand National. (Yeah, I know, too easy and too mean, but someone’s got to do it.)

Brazil’s Health Minister has started a national campaign against high blood pressure by telling Brazilians they need more cardiovascular workouts – workouts that include sex. In related news, Tiger Woods has flown down to Rio to negotiate for an endorsement deal.

So what will constitute reason to suspect someone is an illegal immigrant in Arizona? Not sure, but if your last name contains a lot of those high-value Scrabble consonants, maybe you should start paying cash instead of putting down a credit card.

In Santa Clara County, California, supervisors have voted to ban Happy Meals and any other toy giveaway with fast-food meals. Great, now instead of rewarding their children with a toy as part of their meal, parents can instead buy them dessert.

And NON-commie pinko sidebar:

In Moraga, California, a St. Mary’s College singing instructor has been disciplined for having a student sing “Old Man River” in class, which contains the phrase “colored folk.” Well, guess they’ll be tossing Huckleberry Finn and Shakespeare out of the library next.

(don’t get me wrong. I hate racism and I am mostly pro-affirmative action. But the song, written by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein-hardly WASPS themselves- was a period piece from the play “Showboat,” and made a star out of Paul Robeson, who actually sung the lyric with the term “darkies.”)

This item inspired by a joke by Alex Kaseberg, who pointed out on his blog that the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus has merged with the San Diego Men’s Chorus. (And said there hasn’t been a merger this seamless since Siegfried joined up with Roy.)

The most common reaction in San Diego? They were separate entities?

Speaking of which, if any readers watch American Idol (okay, guys, you can skip this last one), tonight was Shaina Twain. Anyone but me a little sorry it wasn’t last year? Would have enjoyed hearing Adam Lambert try his hand at “Feel Like a Woman.”
