In the News III

In Iraq, President Bush held a press conference with Iraqi President Nouri Al-Maliki, where he was accosted by an Iraqi reporter. The reporter threw his shoes at him, which, in Iraq, is considered a sign of contempt. After being ejected from the conference, and detained, the reporter stated, "He's lucky it was laundry day, because I was going to throw my underwear."

In celebrity news, Kanye West's performance on Saturday Night Live is being panned by critics because he opted to lip-synch rather than perform live vocals. When asked about this decision to lip-synch, Kanye replied, "What can I say, I've never been very good at singing. My real talent is in knitting and then pulling that wool over people's eyes."

In sports, the NHL suspended Dallas Stars defenseman Sean Avery 6 games for what they considered lewd comments directed at an ex-girlfriend now dating another player. The comment called the actress, Elisha Cuthbert, "sloppy seconds". In retaliation, the new boyfriend, Calgary Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf, said of Avery, "Maybe now he'll have time to pursue that fashion career. Noooo, that's not gay at all."

Have a good upcoming week, everyone.

Where do you come up with this stuff?? I think you're in the wrong profession...wait, what do you do again?? You should definitely be a writer. You're better than I am and I get paid to be silly.

Thanks, B

I just write what's funny to me. Some people might not think it's funny, but my wife does, and that's all that matters.

I appreciate your comments. Please keep reading.
