The NFL is trying to crack down on the number of drunken fans by limiting tailgaiting to 3-1/2 hours. Great idea ! Now the fans will get drunk first and then drive to the stadium.
Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable has benched his No. 1 quarterback JaMarcus Russell. To Tom Cable, benching simply means he punched JaMarcus in the face and knocked him into a bench.
Despite new government guidelines that say most women don't need a breast screening until they're fifty years old, insurance companies announced they will continue to pay for mammograms. See ladies, you can always count on your insurance company in a pinch.
California has passed an energy-efficient standard for manufacturers of new television sets. By 2011, the state wants to begin cutting TV energy use by 33%. That's pretty simple. Leave the TV off for eight hours a day.
Sarah Palin launched her book tour this week in, of all places, Michigan. Apparently, Palin knows her geography better than Bruce Springsteen. Not once did she refer to the state as Ohio.

Today's Jokes by Wendel Potter
General Motors says it's on the road to recovery despite showing new losses. That's like saying that Abraham Lincoln's gunshot wounds are healing nicely now that he's dead.
Governor David Patterson released his New York fiscal report today. It's called "Going Broke".
When Sarah Palin arrived at Harpo Studios to tape her appearance with Oprah, she was shown to the Green Room. Palin remarked how nice it was that Oprah dedicated an entire room to saving the environment.
Sarah Palin said that she thought Katie Couric was trying to portray her in an unfavorable light. That doesn't take much effort when you're working with a dim bulb to begin with.
Sarah Palin told Barbara Walters that on a scale of 1 to 10, she'd give President Obama a 4. Of course, Barbara was talking about Obama's presidential performance, but Palin was talking about that picture of the president with his shirt off.
Sarah is appearing on the cover of Newseek dressed in running shorts. I think there's a subliminal message there: if she enters the 2012 presidential race, once again she's going to run short.
Last night, Keith Olbermann discussed Sarah Palin's book, Going Rogue, and reported that he'd found 12 lies. Tonight on Olbermann: Chapter Two.
The American Cancer Society is upset because a government task force says that most women don't need a mammogram until the age of 50. Hey, it's the government saying this and who would know more about mammograms than a bunch of boobs?
