3/3

1. British prime minister Gordon Brown visited the White House today. Obama said that he and Brown both have “spectacular wives and wonderful children in common”, and he should know, because they’ve occasionally swapped. They don’t know even which of them is the father. It’s like “Mamma Mia” the musical, only “Obama Mia”.

2. Michael Jackson has announced a series of comeback concerts. They’ll be his first concerts in twelve years. The reason for the concerts is that he realized his latest boyfriend wasn’t alive to see his last ones.

3. Only 7 percent of Americans are satisfied with the state of the economy, and most of them work at pawn shops.

4. In Britain, hospitals are having to remove hand-cleaning gel from reception areas, because too many people are drinking it. It apparently has 70% alcohol. And a nice minty aftertaste. If you had to choose between that and shoe polish, I’d go for the hand-cleaning gel.

5. Sharon Osbourne is being sued by a contestant on her reality show who says that Osbourne physically attacked her. Excuse me, this is a reality show. Be glad she didn’t give you tics.
