Tuesday Morning Monologue - March 13, 2012

Nothing you can do about it now. It's Tuesday. And it's gonna be for a while. Hopefully this will help you pass the time.

Last night the season finale of The Bachelor aired, finally revealing the show's winner: everyone who watched something else.

Mitt Romney said this weekend that he's friends with the owners of the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins, ignoring advice from his handlers to only associate with winners...

Speaking of winners, Yahoo! is suing Facebook for patent infringement. Apparently they caught wind of Facebook's new Stagnate and Become Irrelevant Division.

In an interview with Elle UK, Jon Hamm called Kim Kardashian stupid. Oh, I see what's going on. Jon likes her, but he's afraid to tell her... Classic.

In a related story: Why the hell is Jon Hamm going all Joaquin Phoenix in the pages of Elle UK? That sort of biting social commentary is really more at home in Norwegian Cosmo Girl.

Federal courts blocked or overturned new GOP-sponsored voter ID laws in Texas and Wisconsin. Lawmakers have proposed a new system, though. In stead of having to present an ID, brown people will simply have to guess a number between 1 and 1000.

And finally, a group of young Amish men were arrested for drunken buggy racing this weekend when one of them crashed his buggy into a police car.

...and this calls for another, PUNCHLINE SWARM! GO!!!!!

...This was actually a scene from the upcoming film, The Fast and the Forgiving.

... I just wonder, what was the horse drinking?

... They were on their way back from a night of carousing and debauchery at the local ankle bar.

... Too bad for them there was a Witness to the crash.

... Clearly, somewhere, someone just lost a bet.

... The man is part of a new road safety campaign. "Buckling up isn't just for hats"

... At least his insurance won't go up. Because the Amish can't buy insurance. Because it's against their religion.

... Still way more interesting than NASCAR.

Okay, that's it for today. Let's try again tomorrow! Till then, have a great day.

Wednesday Morning Monologue - February 29, 2012

Happy Leap Day! What are you going to do with your extra 24 hours? Perhaps read some jokes? I've had a cold for the last two days, so I'm assuming that at least some of my extra hours will involve hacking and coughing things up. Speaking of...

The director of the recent Wrath of the Titans remake promises the sequel will be "vast and epic." Nowhere, however, did he use the words "good" or "watchable."

Singer Celine Dion canceled more of her Las Vegas shows on the orders of her personal doctor. So, there is someone out there who is sicker of her music than I am. Kudos, Doctor.

A group of Harvard alumni are seeking honorary degrees for gay students who were expelled over the last 100 years. Great, now there are even more Harvard grads to compete with.

NASCAR driver Brad Kaselowski gained 130,000 followers when he live-tweeted during the race on Monday. Next week he has to do shots.

The Dow Jones closed above 13,000 for the first time since May, 2008! That's great news, right? Wait what the hell does that mean? Did Wall Street just make a bunch of money and the rest of us got jack squat? Oh, man, I hate it when that happens.

Royal-in-law Pippa Middleton is set to raise money for charity by skiing in the 56-mile Swedish X-C race. She's expected to come in first, followed almost immediately by the rest of the pack.

Because they'll be looking at her ass.

In other ass news, Kid Rock performed at a Mitt Romney event last night, cementing Romney's position in the campaign as the old dude slightly more hip than the guy in the sweater vest. And as always, any proceeds will go to help Kid Rock pay rent.

And finally, reports are surfacing that famed physicist Stephen Hawking has frequented a California sex club in the past. Looks like he really is an expert in the Big Bang after all.

That's all. Enjoy the rest of this magical day! See you tomorrow!

Thursday Morning Monologue - January 27, 2011

Alright, let's get to it.

In Texas, Representative Gabrielle Giffords recovered enough strength recently to watch an hour of television. The wounded congresswoman reportedly watched CNN for the entire hour, proving once again just how tough she really is.
