Monday Morning Monologue - December 24, 2012

Express Scrips, one of the nation's largest pharmaceutical providers, is now covering the Vivus anti-obesity pill. Still not covered: diet and exercise.

Darden Restaurants, home to Olive Garden and Red Lobster, saw profits fall 37% in the wake of bad publicity from their attempts to circumvent the Affordable Care Act for their employees. Management has changed their policy as a result, and is looking forward to customers getting back to hating them for their awful food, instead of their politics.

The anti-totalitarian film V for Vendetta aired in China recently, stunning audiences who werenr't prepared for Natalie Portman's bald head.

Tagg Romney said this weekend that his father Mitt never really wanted to be President. So in one way at least, Mitt is just like regular Americans.

Members of the U.S. Senate said that torture scenes in the new film Zero Dark Thirty were misleading and inaccurate. They also said that the whole back-breaking scene in The Dark Knight Rises was totally wrong, too.

Google is scanning the Dead Sea Scrolls and making them available online. So now you can look forward to Internet trolls criticizing their grammar.

Two bank robbers escaped from jail in Chicago in a break almost identical to a 1985 escape from the same jail. So now you can add plagiarism to their rap sheets.

And finally, authorities have made arrests and are pressing charges against a group of Canadian criminals accused of stealing $18 million worth of maple syrup. And yes, they plan to make the charges stick.

Okay, that's all!
