This week is flying faster than a sailor’s paycheck at the local whorehouse. Not that I would know anything about whorehouses, except from books that I might have read. Although I have heard that such things are legal in many parts of Europe and that people there seem to have lower stress levels. So maybe there is something to selling sex from store front windows.

Ok, enough of that. I’m dealing with a butt load of fires in the office and NEW GUY is being needy today. Hooray! Here are the talking points that you have been waiting all morning to get. Feel free to discuss them in the comments section.

• Mel Gibson is asking Jewish people every where to forgive him (and keep funding his films) for being a Jew bashing drunk. Good luck with that, Mel. The Jewish people have been known to hold a grudge for the better part of 4000 years so I doubt forgiveness is going to be quick in coming. Check out Lebanon for proof of concept on that.
  
  
• If you are going to have an airplane pick you up on the side of the road, you really should have had a hit record in the past five years or so.  Right Tommy Lee?
  
  
• Despite proof that television will warp the minds of small children parents continue to use it as a babysitter. Now the more tech savvy parents that can’t be bothered with child rearing can pipe Cartoon Network on to their toddler’s iPod. That’s really encouraging.
  
  
• The Post has discovered mash-ups. Again, they are late to the party on trendy tech crap. Nothing new there really since the Enquirer has been doing mash-ups for years. And quite often being sued for it. Not that it should stop you, I’m just saying.
  
  
• Having a crack pipe and being naked is a dangerous combination in Maryland.
  
  
• Heath Ledger is the new Jack Nicholson.
  
  
• Benched already? Crap this must be getting old for Ramsey.
  
  
• Kansas vote seen as certifying evolution. Sort of.

There you go. Have fun.
