"Another Player's Shoe"

Joke of the Day: An immigrant won Sunday night's Miss USA pageant. One thing's for sure: She wasn't Miss Arizona.

A mile-long tube installed by BP is sucking away the oil that has been gushing out of the broken pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico. BP is also sucking money out of our wallets by raising gas prices by $2.00 a gallon.

The current flight of the space shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to be its final flight. It will land underwater where it will stay for the rest of eternity.

A 94-year-old California woman graduated from Mills College in Oakland, finally earning her college degree. The other thing that woman just crossed off her bucket list: host Saturday Night Live.

A California high school girl’s softball coach forced 8 players who struck out during a recent game to drink soda from another player’s shoe. Their choices were to drink soda from the shoe or drink Diet Coke from the can.

Rumors on the Internet say that one of LeBron James’ Cavaliers teammates has been sleeping with his mother. Even more reason for him to leave Cleveland.

A new study says that burgers and fries worsen asthma. The conductors of the study apparently made the participants walk to and from McDonald's.

BP says the Gulf oil spill cleanup has cost the company $450 Million so far. Or, as BP calls it, one fill-up.

Las Vegas is reacting to the housing bust by building thousands of new homes. That's like trying to cure the obesity epidemic by doubling production at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

The Kansas City Royals have fired third base coach Dave Owen. The Royals didn't think he was necessary because, of course, nobody on the Kansas City Royals can get to third base.

A survey says small business owners are more upbeat about the economy. That's because they are still among the very few Americans who actually has a job.

A group of unhappy Facebook users are promoting a “Quit Facebook Day” on May 31 to protest the latest changes to the Facebook privacy policy. To those unhappy Facebook users, there's this crazy thing called "Deleting Your Account".

Some scientists are estimating that the oil leak in the Gulf has sent a miles-long underwater plume of oil heading straight for the Florida Keys. In a related story, the Cubans have found a shortcut to Miami.

That's all I have for right now. More later!

"Interbred With Neanderthals"

It’s National Arbor Day. I celebrated by reading the newspaper and printing off tons of flyers about it.

Oprah Winfrey’s cable network OWN will air a show called “Inside Rehab”, which is about treating eating disorders. What's next? Is the Tiger Woods Network going to air a special on treating sexual addiction?

A spokesman for NASA says that claims of life on Mars are “absolutely false”. I don't need a spokesman for proof. I need a video camera.

The 83-year-old actress who played Thelma Lou in the original “Andy Griffith Show” was robbed recently in Mt. Airy, NC. She was given the option of giving the robber her money or her life.

Scientists say they have new evidence that humans may have interbred with Neanderthals about 100,000 years ago. They call that evidence "Larry King".

The “National Enquirer” says Tiger Woods had sex with 120 women while he was married. Strangely enough, one of the women not on the list: His wife.

Conan O'Brien has grown a beard while in exile. Apparently that $30 Million dollars that NBC gave him was not spent on a razor.

President Hugo Chavez on Thursday invited Cuba's Fidel Castro and Bolivian President Evo Morales to join Twitter. To which both of them said, "No. In our country, we don't have internet."

Scientists say that the genetic make up of frogs is very similar to humans. That ought to cheer people up.

Oprah Winfrey has signed a $100 Million deal with Procter and Gamble. It's nice to see Oprah associate with something in Cincinnati besides an ice cream parlor.

That's all for now! More to come later today!
