Verizon And A Virus

I apologize for the delay in this latest blog, I know you’ve been waiting.  It’s been a crazy week.  The biggest thing is that I’m waiting for someone to get back to me about a business idea.  A show business idea.  A big show business idea that involves a great deal of risk on my part.  Also a little Chutes-And-Ladders and a bit of Uno, but that’s not important right now.  The point is that when something this important is happening, it’s tough to remember that it’s not as life-alteringly important to others as it is to you.  It’s tough not to cal them and yell “HEY!!!  HEY YOU!!!  MAKE A DECISION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER OR I’LL PUNCH YOU IN THE SPLEEN AND FORCE YOU TO WATCH ‘DHARMA AND GREG’ UNTIL YOUR IQ DROPS BELOW TWENTY AND YOU SCREAM AT SNAILS!”  You know what I mean?  Of course you do.  Anyway, I know it’s out of my hands and I’ve done all that I can do, but I’m still going a little squirrelly.  More than a tad wombatish, too.  Oh, and I think Ringo Starr should be hauled in for causing the Tate-LaBianca murders.  If you get my drift.

As always, see more of me including TV appearances, promo video and schedule at www.starspangledcomedy.com.

A jogger in Florida won't be charged for shooting and killing a teenager who attacked him during a midnight run.  So I’m off to go “jogging” at the mall.  Then over to the movie theater.  Then the ammo store and on to Dairy Queen.

The Obama administration has said it wants to step up efforts to cut down on obesity in The United States.  The Society Of Dumpy Guys Who Always Get The Hot Chicks’ Fat Friend is vehemently opposed.

California wildlife officials are trying to figure out what caused the death of more than 100 birds found clustered together just off Highway 101.  Being in California, the possibility of it being a religious cult event cannot be discounted.

A new study says ATM's are as filthy as public toilets. That's why I just pee, get my $20, and walk right out without touching anything.  Not even a receipt.

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn said he would quickly sign a massive increase in state income taxes.  You know, since the tax increases the President wanted were so wildly popular.

Verizon now has the iPhone.  So pompous Verizon subscribers and snooty iPhone owners can combine forces into an Optimus Prime of arrogance.

A virus has killed millions of crickets that are raised to feed pet reptiles and zoo animals.  So the humane thing to do is start eating those Komodo Dragons before they starve to death.

The Mexican government said today there have been 34,612 drug-war related deaths in the past four years.  Oh and 2.3 million deaths that were “Not drug-war related at all, just kinda accidents ... you know.”

No LeBron; when that knee of yours gives out, THAT’S karma.

Thought For The Day: People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.  They probably shouldn’t masturbate much, either.
