I wonder how long before BP declares bankruptcy and the US is left with cleaning up their mess? Maybe we should ask the Queen to pitch in and help.

spill in the Gulf is affecting everybody. In fact, when I went to lunch this

unleaded." –David Letterman

For reminding the ranks
Of the many ways Bush went astray.
"There's
speculation that the 1,000-point drop in the Dow may have been sparked by a
typo, where someone entered 'billion' instead of 'million' on a trading order.
Economists are saying a single letter hasn't caused this many problems since the
letter 'W.'" –Jimmy Fallon

Arizona government is very defensive about its new immigration law. They are

earlier today we were rounding up Germans.'" –David Letterman

"At first
the Taliban claimed credit and then as the week went on and we found out about
this guy they said, 'No, we have nothing to do with him.' … The Taliban said,
'The next time we want to wreak mass destruction on America, we'll hire BP.'"
–Bill Maher, on the failed Times Square terrorist bombing
When All Else Fails, Just Make Stuff Up
Elisabeth
Hasselbeck has some explaining to do.
During last week's "The View," the conservative co-host gave a teary apology to
ESPN sportscaster Erin Andrews after criticizing her skimpy wardrobe on "Dancing
with the Stars."
Hasselbeck, 32, claimed that she called Andrews Tuesday night to personally
apologize after her 5-year-old daughter, Grace, advised her to just pick up the
phone.
"Thankfully, I listened to her … and I did," she did.
However, the only problem is that
Hasselbeck never made the call.
