With all the happenings of last week, humor has been in short supply. But, everyday life is not without its moments. Some of those include:
Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the foot, literally. (OK, OK..it was his thigh. But bad pun opportunities are hard to come by.) A couple of inches off and the the world wouldn't have any more little Plaxicos running around. Is that a bad thing? Consider the name...Plaxico!
Arianna Huffington was on Jon Stewart last night. It was painful to watch. Stewart went easy on her, but she still came across as a blithering idiot trying to convince the world to read her book and start a blog. So she says, "You know Jon, I bet you have many more thoughts than you can put across through your TV show." Stewart responds: "There's a reason those thoughts are not on my TV show!"
A better show, was the night before with Calvin Trillin. His ode to Sarah Palin: "On a clear day, I can see Vladivostok." I have ordered the book. His humor seems almost Wodehousian. Love it.
This is a joke. A bad one. But a joke, all the same. And these clowns on CNN are bent on perpetuating this myth that the Pakistanis have been propagating..that they are victims too. The unsuspecting Pakistani public: maybe. Not the excuse for a government. Not the ISI. And certainly not Zardari. The Pakistanis have always been media savvy. What we need is a dhansu spokesperson for the Indian government. Not the expressionless wonder Manmohan Singh. An articulate, smart, chalu, spokesperson. Who can lie as well as Zardari, but lacking his crassness.
