What’s with the crying judge? As if the whole Ann Nicole Smith thing hasn’t been bizarre enough, now this guy starts crying while delivering his decision on where she’s buried?

And, as if we needed further evidence that she’s gone mental, Britney Spears is now attacking people and automobiles with an umbrella. As Mike Greenberg queried on Mike & Mike in the Morning today, “So now she’s The Penguin?”

I mentioned last week this new “comedy” show on the Fox News Channel, The 1/2 Hour News Hour. It’s supposed to be comparable to The Daily Show. Which leads to the question, why is a supposedly legitimate news channel broadcasting a program which lampoons their very reason for existing? TDS is on Comedy Central - a comedy network. They are in the business of comedy. FNC is in the business of news, and not - as this show so painfully displays - comedy.

While TDS leans to the left, they do make a point to poke fun at both sides and everyone in between, not only the right. Based on the premiere, this 1/2 Hour program makes no effort at any kind of balance. It seems to mock the left exclusively (and, unfortunately, not very well.) This is certainly their right, but I think it may finally be time for FNC to ditch the “fair and balanced” moniker. Not that anyone ever believed it in the first place…

From The Onion: I’ve seen Scottie Pippen up close, playing his college ball here in Arkansas, and granted, while this isn’t very nice, it may in fact be true. Also, from December, Al Gore attempts to increase box office receipts for his documentary on climate change.

Finally, a friend sent me this, from Conan O’Brien. I admit I didn’t see this coming, although I should have. I found it hilarious.
