"Rubbing Their Eyes"

Hello everyone! These are my posts for Super Bowl Sunday of 2010!

Super Bowl viewers were rubbing their eyes over a TV spot pairing CBS late-night host David Letterman with longtime NBC rival Jay Leno, plus Oprah Winfrey. This was the 1st official gathering of the "older people who are somehow rich and famous".

Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge have broken up. I guess Jamie Lynn took Casey to school and Casey failed his favorite class: Zoey 101.

Police say a 13-year-old girl led state troopers on a nine-mile chase in central Pennsylvania at speeds of more than 100 mph. No, she wasn't running from the police. She was just in a Toyota and she couldn't stop it.

Police arrested a man they say tried to take their candy bars. What happened to the stereotype of police officers who just eat donuts?

Police in southern Germany said an officer has been suspended from duty after allegedly having sex in a Catholic church during a service. However, still no word on the status of the priests.

Well, that's it! I know it's limited, but bye!

"That Hopey Changey Thing"

Hello to my limited supply of readers! These are my jokes for February 6, 2010!

Sarah Palin is saying the policies of President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress will be short-lived. Actually, she had to say that. That was part of her contract with FOX News.

A Louisiana high school student was sent home for wearing an Indianapolis Colts jersey to school. No, not because it was a Colts jersey, but because the shoulder had a "Super Bowl Champions 2010" patch.

Sarah Palin had some pointed advice to President Barack Obama on Saturday night: "Stop lecturing and start listening." To which Obama said, "Right back atcha".

Sarah Palin also told Obama, "How's that hopey changey thing working out for you?" Sadly, that was the most intelligent grammar she had all night.

A 13 year old football player has committed to play at USC starting in 2015. He has to wait until 2015? USC would be better off if he came now.

NASCAR driver Kyle Busch proposed to his girlfriend on the track at Daytona International Speedway. To which NASCAR fans said, "Awww... Now they ain't just cuzins no more are they?"

Washington DC was hit by three feet of snow today. No wonder Chris Matthews forgot that President Obama was black. He was covered in snow.

Pete Wentz says talk of Fall Out Boy's demise has been blown out of proportion — but he isn't sure when the rock band will performing together again. Now I know where "Fall Out" came from.

Eagle protection agencies have been seeing eagles that are oddly sick because of food they ate. It's gotten so bad that instead of bird poop landing on people, it has been bird puke.

Jersey Shore is all about fake boobs, drunk people, abs, and hookups. Jersey Shore? Why not call it "Jersey Whores"?

Well that's it everyone! Thanks for reading!

Hi everybody! Happy laughing at these monologue jokes!

Toyota acknowledged design problems with the brakes with Prius. Well the Prius doesn't have an accelerator, so it may as well have problems with the brake.

A tax court has ruled that the cost of a sex change operation is deductible. So if you're changing from a man to a woman, that's the second thing that's being deducted (besides your manhood).

The CEO of Carnival Cruise Lines was given a raise to $7.2 Million in 2009 despite the company's profits falling. Carnival Cruise Lines just wanted to follow the trend of major insurance companies.

A Slovenian who saved his three dogs from being put down for attacking humans was himself mauled to death by them. Obviously those dogs were suicidal and they wanted to die.
