Earnest's Weekend Monologue - April 3, 2011

Hey everyone, the weekend is over. Question. A friend of mine was laid off on Friday. April Fools' Day. When that happens, do you go into work on Monday and say "Good one, guys. Good one..."

Charlie Sheen kicked off his Weapons of Mass Destruction tour in Detroit last night. The consensus is it was terrible. The problem may have been their expectations were too high. Detroit is so unfamiliar with winning, that they had no idea what to expect... For a lot of people, it really put things in perspective: Being unemployed with no hope for the future is much better than being unemployed with tickets to Sheen's show. Of course, for Charlie Sheen it was a trumph. His show single-handedly took Detroit off the map.

One of Southwest Airlines' Boeing 737s had to make an emergency landing after a hole opened in the fuselage. When you fly Southwest, I think that's part of the bargain that you buy into. It's a cheap flight, and you know it. On Southwest, if a hole opens in the fuselage, that's your in-flight movie.

Our mayor in LA, Antonio Villagairosa, just received a record fine for accepting free tickets to sporting events and shows, including the American Idol finale and a Spice Girls concert. His lawyers argued that the Spice Girls concert should've been punishment enough.

Libyan rebels have retaken several cities in the country, looked around, and said "Seriously? This is what we were fighting for?" I hear they're going to try and sell the war-torn real estate, but don't be fooled by their ads. Benghazi is way more than "gently used."
