9/17

1. In a new poll, 75% of Americans said they thought John McCain only picked Sarah Palin in order to win the election. The poll didn’t actually find out what the other 25% thought, because before they could be asked, they started shooting at the poll taker.

2. President Bush delayed a speech about the economy after the government took over the giant insurance company AIG. Ironically, that’s about what the president was going to say. “Hey, I, gee…”

3. Today, Sarah Palin was asked for specific details about how she would cut the budget. She said that first they could fire some of the White House gardeners, because she could take care of shooting the gophers.

4. The House of Representatives passed a bill last night making it easier to do offshore oil drilling. The bill was delayed, though, because as they were signing it, one of the pens broke and ink leaked all over it.

5. At the OJ Simpson trial in Las Vegas, this is true, the court has built a replica of the hotel room where Simpson allegedly committed the robbery. It’s not for the trial, but to raise money from tourists. They’ve already installed some slot machines. Because that’s how jurors seem to figure out if OJ is guilty.
