This is National Clown Week

Remember….without clowns…balloon puppies…would be an endangered species.   And frankly…a five-year old’s birthday party…with a stripper…is just wrong!!

This is also Simplify Your Life Week –

Obviously sponsored by those people that sell the ‘universal remote’.

Although, hit the wrong button on your TV/Cable set-up and getting it to work right again is anything but simple.

The 101 number one song of the day was the title cut to an album that started a feud between one of the band members and the daughter of a U.S. president.  She, at one time, was living with another member of the band, Bernie Leadon, and in an interview with the Las Vegas Sun newspaper about a song they had written together which was included on the album. She was quoted as saying, “I was very lucky, I made quite a bit of money and still get royalties.” That statement infuriated Don Henley, who shot off a letter to the paper declaring that Bernie was responsible for most of the song and her contribution was limited to a few words. Besides, he said, the song – "I Wish You Peace” – was “smarmy cocktail music and certainly not something the band was proud of.” He was referring to President Reagan’s daughter, Patti Davis. The album’s title cut reached number one on August 2, 1975 for the Eagles “One of these Nights”

Lindsay Lohan was released from jail this morning.  But over the two weeks incarceration time, her mother got pretty upset…because Lindsay doesn’t have cell phone privileges – and she equates that to her daughter being treated like a common criminal.

-Apparently Mom thinks a cell-phone…is a phone you’re allowed to use…in your cell.

70-year old performer Tom Jones is telling his female fans to quit throwing their underwear up on stage while he’s performing. He said he’ll be singing a serious ballad when a pair of panties flies up on stage…and everybody starts laughing. He says it’s wrong…and it disrupts the performance.

-Plus by now…he’s getting a lot of Depends thrown up there…which is wrong for a whole different set of reasons.

The 100-plus day oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the clean-up aftermath is creating something called ‘spillionaires’. These are people and companies that are making millions of dollars in the cleanup efforts. And that has a lot of Americans angry. They say the spill is a national disaster…and companies should be working for no profit to help out.

-Our guess is…the 25,000 lawyers down there aren’t working for free.

Bristol Palin may be calling off her engagement to Levi Johnston…after it was revealed he might be having another child…with another woman. A former flame of his who is a coffee shop waitress says he’s one of three possible fathers of her unborn child.

-Well – it looks like Levi’s 15-minutes of fame…just got extended. He’s going on the Maury Show!!!
