Vol. II No. 34

Natal Day Department:
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, Dear Sydney, Happy Birthday to you. Lotsa love, Poppy, Niki and Jack
Whatever Happened to this Idea Department:
Bill Paley founded CBS back in the fifties and we would do well to revisit one his most famous observations about television news coverage: “I make money on Jack Benny so I can afford to do the best news.”

Rosie’s Gone Department:
Ms. O’Donnell -- she of the tiff-with-darn-near-everybody -- has departed The View ahead of schedule. The lady got into a live kerfuffle with one of her co-hosts, and her exit closely followed. All together now: “Gee that is toooooooooooo bad!”. The really sad thing about this whole sordid episode is the woman will likely show up somewhere else to spew her venom. Maybe Donald Trump will offer her a job as his PR Director.

Cyber-confessional Department:
Carrying around some guilt you’d like to dump? Try this web site. You can anonymously confess your sins, and if nothing else, get it off your chest without fear of retribution. No word from the site’s administrators if you get absolution.

Ya Couldn’t Make This Up Department :
Topless sales women are legal in Liverpool, England. But only in tropical fish stores. Imagine the City Council meeting at which the idea was first mentioned. “Okay, folks, we’re going to allow topless in some places. Your suggestions for permissable venues welcome. Please submit same in a plain brown envelope, photos will not be returned.”

Finally Hockey Finals Department:
So the annual classic gets under way this week when the Ducks and Sens meet for Lord Stanley’s cup. And for whom might you be cheering? Die-hard Leaf fans will recall this is an event with which they are not familiar. (sorry, couldn’t resist).
