5/25

1. Well, it looks like another setback for American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert. If he stays home in California, he’ll never get married. The California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage. This might be the first time you ever hear someone in Hollywood say: “I’ve had enough of this redneck state! Let’s move to Iowa.”

2. Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor grew up in a housing project in the Bronx, and I love that British newspapers call it a “housing estate”. That’s what they call them over there. It makes it all sound so genteel. “Oh, I grew up on a housing estate, where people smoked flammable Colombian caviar, known in America as ‘crack’.”

3. A new study shows that crows can use tools in a variety of situations, are very intelligent, and are amazing at problem solving. Great, even more competition in the job market.

4. The latest episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” got the highest ratings on TV this week. You have to wonder -- how did he think he could get away with an affair? “Hmm, I’ll have cameras track my entire life, every minute of every day. This will be great for meeting other chicks!”

5. A Canadian politician has eaten a raw seal heart to show her sympathy for native hunters. As a representative of the Queen of England, however, the politician has more experience with eating the hearts of young virgins.
