10/15

1. There will be zero cost-of-living increase for Social Security this year. The Cost Of Living Adjustment is normally called COLA, but this year, it will be known as the Deflationary Income and Economic Turmoil Cost Of Living Adjustment, or DIET COLA.

2. There’s some controversy about John McCain’s daughter Meghan McCain posing in racy pajamas for her Twitter followers. She claims this was just what she was wearing around the house. Yeah, you know, I take showers naked at home, but I don’t post pictures on this blog. Although in my case, that would seriously decrease traffic.

3. An apartment in Hong Kong just sold for a record $57 million. The ultra-luxury building comes with an aroma spa center and outdoor yoga gym. No pets.

4. In one of the least-anticipated band breakups of all time, the Norwegian pop band A-ha has called it quits after 25 years, finally answering the question: “Hey, didn’t they break up years ago?” In similar news, cast members of ‘80s syndicated sitcom “Charles in Charge” have announced that they will no longer be in the show.

5. There’s some controversy about a pregnant teenager on the cover of Teen Vogue magazine, even though you can’t tell she’s pregnant. So why is this controversial? Robin Williams was a massive cokehead and no one minded him being on Sesame Street – he just wasn’t doing the coke on camera.
