I sure hope Bristol and Levi have already secretly eloped, for the sake of Sarah Palin's small town values.
And President Bush announced before he leaves office, he wants to visit the poorest regions of the world. You know, any place where people can’t afford to buy shoes. - Jay leno

Beer Bombs
The crew of a Chinese ship
attacked by pirates off the coast of Somalia have described
how they used beer bottles and water cannon to fend off their attackers before
they were rescued.
"This is
true, according to a new report, I was reading this today in the paper,
thousands of pregnant mothers in this country are planning to name their baby
Barack. That's true. Yeah, after hearing this, Sarah Palin told Bristol, 'Don't
even think about it.'" --Conan O'Brien
"George Bush is over there in Baghdad saying goodbye to the troops, and this Iraqi journalist heaves a couple shoes at the President. And we thought, hopefully that's just a one-of-a-kind episode. Unfortunately, however, the news coming out of the Middle East is that Iran is developing a long-range loafer." --David Letterman
FBI FIBS
For nearly five years, FBI leaders encouraged employees on temporary assignment in Iraq to bill an average of $45,000 in overtime and extra pay by routinely claiming to work 16 hours a day, seven days a week, even when some of that time was spent eating, exercising, watching movies or attending cocktail parties, the Justice Department inspector general reported yesterday.

In this image
provided by NASA Thursday Dec. 18, 2008 the Hubble Space Telescope has caught
Jupiter's moon Ganymede playing a game of 'peek-a-boo.' In this crisp Hubble
image, Ganymede is shown just before it ducks behind the giant planet. Ganymede
completes an orbit around Jupiter every seven days. Because Ganymede's orbit is
tilted nearly edge-on to Earth, it routinely can be seen passing in front of and
disappearing behind its giant host, only to reemerge later. Composed of rock and
ice, Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system. It is even larger than
the planet Mercury. But Ganymede looks like a dirty snowball next to Jupiter,
the largest planet in our solar system. This color photo was made from three
images taken on April 9, 2007.
