Monkey business…
(including with this blog font today… but in any case, the show must go on.)
Georgia GOP congressman Jack Kingston stated on the Bill Maher show that he does not believe in the evolution, saying – “I believe I came from God, not from a monkey” “We’re happy not to take the blame on this one”, responded the monkey lobby.

Like a lot of Americans, didn’t see the Pro Bowl, but from reading the summary sounds like this year the players might have actually cared less than the fans.

Celtics coach Doc Rivers was fined an additional $15,000 for not leaving the court quickly enough after being ejected. Good thing MLB never had that rule in effect, Bobby Cox, amongst others, might have ended up with a net negative salary many years.

Tiger Woods had his worst finish ever at Torrey Pines, meaning another step backwards for the world’s former #1 golfer since the discovery of his “extracurriculars” destroyed his image and his marriage. Which brings up the question again – Was that secret life Tiger’s real performance enhancing drug?

Martin Luther King, III, said he may buy a stake in the New York Mets, and help bring the team back to the World Series. And somewhere from above a voice is saying “Son, I had a dream, but you’re living in fantasy land.”

On Fox News Sunday, John Boehner says he cries “because he cares so much.” Where is Dana Carvey’s “Church Lady” when you need her? “Well, isn’t that special!”

In London, entrepreneurs are selling, amongst other gee-gaws and tea towels, souvenir condoms for the Royal Wedding. Whatever you think of the monarchy, it does, er, stimulate the British economy.
The Screen Actors Guild gave Ernest Borgnine, 94, a lifetime achievement award. Of course, part of the achievement is that he’s still living.

While I generally believe travel is safe, there are no sure things. (Including staying home.) But how many people this winter thought of a warm weather vacation, looked at the violence in Mexico and decided, let’s finally do that Egyptian vacation instead?

On Tiger Woods’ secret life Tiger’s being his real performance enhancing drug, maybe he should team up with Charlie Sheen at the At&T Pro Am. That way as they walk hole to hole, Tiger can ask him, “What I’d like to know is how Do you get away with all your actions that are so public?” To which Charlie would no doubt answer, “Well, for starters, I don’t go around apologizing to everyone about it.”

I’m sure there aren’t many comments coming from John Boehner that I’ll agree with – but when asked about smoking yesterday, he said, “Why do you bring this up again? It’s a legal product. I choose to smoke it. Leave me alone.”
As one who has reaped every perk that smoking offers, just barely short of the death benefit, (so far), and one who would be smoking right now if at all possible, I say, Mr. Speaker, smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette.

Mountain climber Adam Potter fell about 1,000 feet after he lost his footing near the summit of Sgurr Choinnich Mor, a Scottish mountain. Amazingly, Potter only suffered minor injuries, including some superficial cuts and bruises and a “minor chest injury.” During a press conference in his hospital room, Potter said that when he recovers, he’d like to fall off Mt. Everest, next.
