In general�PROOFREAD, people! It�s not Patrick�s job to make sure you can spell and/or articulate. As someone who�s had to perform live (on the radio, though) using scripts with misspellings and missing words, this is kind of a pet peeve. Call me anal retentive, but come on, we�re not in third grade anymore. Type stuff in Microsoft Word, it should help you catch these things.

-The Iranian parliament�
Ouch. Talk about black humor. Dunno what else I have to say about this one.

-This week in Albany�
It was funnier on a second read, but jokes go shot by shot on WU, and I don�t think this would work.

-Zoologists have released�
Eh, okay.

-A London woman�
???

-The Chinese government�
Meh�nope.

-Dick Cheney announced�
Come on! No.

-The FBI released�
Meh.

-President Bush�s approval rating�
? Come on, there was an easy connection here with his father�s all-time low of 29.

-Anderson Cooper
Eh�no.
Tangent: What�s really weird is that both Anderson Cooper and Keith Olbermann seem to have quite the teenage fangirl following. Makes me wonder if one exists for O�Reilly�*shudders*

-Sad news to report�
Why are we talking about Santa Claus in May?

-Britney Spears nearly dropped�
No.

-Hey folks, if you didn�t�
Okay, CSI�and I don�t know the rest. I�m not caught up on Will and Grace, is that one of them? Anyway, dunno about this one.

-Amy? Where did Amy go?
Hey, what are you talking about with Christopher Guest? What about Best In Show and Waiting For Guffman, etc.? Also, I see no purpose to �And scene!�

-In American Idol news�
Meh, okay, if only because it�s offensive. :)

-Mischa Barton�s character�
A little funny, but also a little too absurd, since Amy is a stick.

-This week another coal mine�
Don�t think so.

-This summer on NBC�
Heh. Not terribly clever, but funny nonetheless.

-A former Nazi scientist�
Hmm�don�t think so.

-CNN recently covered�
Don�t really see the connection here�

-Apple opened�
Good try, but didn�t really work.

-Office Gossip
Only one that really worked for me was the Maya Rudolph joke. The Horatio joke is really too mean, for all that I don�t like him.

-Finally tonight�
Not much of a joke here, but hey, it is pretty ironic.
