Wednesday Morning Monologue - May 16, 2012

Find your inner happy place, and go there now. Wait, no, stick around and read these jokes. Then tell your friends!

Former Newscorp executive Rebekah Brooks was indicted this week on charges related to her role in the News of the World phone hacking scandal. She stands accused of "perverting the course of justice," which means prosecutors have been reading her old paper.

In America, President Obama went on The View yesterday, and said that his wife Michelle was "relentless." Good, so maybe she can get us single payer healthcare.

In military news, Gen. John Allen, the top officer in Afghanistan, is leaving his post and returning home. At least someone gets to.

Sir Paul McCartney saved a drowning man, although witnesses to the feat said he was much better at saving people with John Lennon.

One half of all Americans think Facebook is a fad, according to a study from the last guy on Friendster.

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon survived a shareholder attempt to strip him of his position, less than one week after he was found to have lost $2 billion of the company's money. Said Dimon, "I'M INVINCIBLE! BRING ON THE MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES! I CAN'T LOSE!" And everything was fine.

Accused steroid-pusher Brian McNamee said that he saved steroid waste from injections he gave to Roger Clemens because his wife told him to. So now he's gonna have to hear about that for the rest of his life.

And finally, a man shopping in the garden section of an American Wal-Mart was bit by a rattlesnake. The surprised man survived, saying "I had no idea they even made rattlesnakes in China."

Okay, that's that. See you tomorrow!
