Alright, one more time.
Speaking of one more time, a modern remake of the primetime soap opera Dallas will be coming to television this fall. A network executive involved said "hey, people love oil companies, right? Don't you think they want to watch a show about the people who run oil companies? That's gonna work, totally. Oh, and there's lots of slapping." Maybe if it really was a show where oil company executives got slapped, over and over, that would be worth watching.
In other television news, Ted Danson is joining the cast of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation this fall. The first case: tracking down the last ten years of Ted Danson's life. Seriously, where's he been?
In legal news, Rodney Kind was arrested recently during a routine traffic stop on suspicion of drunk driving. Well, if they're bringing back Dallas, why not do this again, too?
Elsewhere in California, former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will return to acting in the portentously-titled Last Stand. The title was changed after Schwarzenegger joined the cast. It was originally called Washed-up Action Star that Most People are Sick of Seeing. Go get 'em, tiger.
In real estate news, R. Kelly is facing foreclosure on his Chicago mansion. Apparently he's trapped in the mortgage now. "I Believe I Can Refinance?" I don't know. Maybe if the house didn't smell so strongly of Lip Smackers and urine it would sell quicker.
In other television news, Arizona State Senator Lori Klein pointed a loaded handgun at a reporter's chest during an interview this week. In her defense, she was just staying on message. That message: I'm batshit crazy about guns!
Recently an actor vandalized the set of The Late Show with David Letterman. Afterwards, the man said he "had no recollection of the entire episode." Incidentally, "no recollection of the entire episode" is also the best case scenario for viewers of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. BOOM! Take that, stranger!
And lastly, Jennifer Salke was named the new head of NBC Entertainment. She's announced a new plan for the network that she calls "making good decisions." Just might be crazy enough to work.
Anyway, that's all you get from me. Come see Spencer tomorrow, eh? He's got funny things to say. I'll see you on Monday.
Have a great day!

Monday Morning Monologue - March 7, 2011
Welcome to the new week, everyone! It's gonna be a blast! Oh, whatever. It's Monday. Get through it. These jokes might help.
This week, freshman Congressman Ben Quayle defended his campaign ad that called President Obama "the worst President" in American history. Rep. Quayle walked it back at a press briefing, saying that Obama was "one of the worst Presidents in history," and added, "also, please remember that I have almost no understanding of history or what makes for a good President." A flashbulb then distracted the Congressman who promptly forgot what he was talking about and why he was there.
In other news that ignores history, last week LAPD officers pulled over viral video-star Rodney King, who was savagely beaten by members of the LAPD in 1991. This time, King was ticketed for running a red light and driving without a license. When asked for a comment, he said "I guess it could have been worse."
Jersey Shore mascot Snooki recently said that filming for the show is "like prison." She's not too far off, actually. The key difference between Jersey Shore and prison is that you have to actually do something to get in prison, whereas with Jersey Shore blah blah blah those kids all suck. You get the point.
In Japan, Shigeo Tokuda, a 76-year old former travel agent, is now one of Japan's biggest porn stars, specializing in a popular new genre called "elder porn." Hey Japan, I think we've figured out why your population is declining.
In Internet news, former musician and Scared Straight-star Courtney Love is going to have to pay over $430,000 in damages for comments she made about a fashion designer on Twitter, proving that you can make money off of Twitter after all. Now if only we could get Courtney to spend some time on the comments section at Etsy...
In other celebrity payout news, Prince's former lawyers are suing him for $700,000 in delinquent legal fees. Elsewhere, Lindsay Lohan is totally pissed that she's going to prison for a stupid $2,500 necklace. In a related story, she's been invited to join the cast of Jersey Shore.
In real estate news, one of Vladimir Putin's former residences sold for $350million. That price may seem high, but it does include a shark tank, laser cannons and a submarine hangar. No word yet if he's also selling his secret volcano lair.
And finally, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has vowed to issue layoffs to 1,500 state employees "just as soon as the people from the personnel office quit protesting and go back to the office." What a tool.
That's it! We'll be back in 24 hours with new jokes, hope you come back, too. If you like this stuff, you can tell the world via the little buttons below! And as always, share your thoughts in the comments section.
Onward to Tuesday!
