A New York City woman who says she can’t find a job is suing the college where she earned a bachelor’s degree. After that trial is over she plans to sue her high school because she didn’t get kissed at her prom, the manufacturer of her TV for getting her hooked on Big Brother, and Victoria’s Secret for the way her ass looks in her bathing suit.

Police were called to break up a riot in Tampa at a rally for health care reform. The riot was started by anti-reform people who later claimed they were egged on by Conservative commentator Glenn Beck. Ironically, most of the injured rioters were forced to pay extra for treatment because they had to go to doctors outside of their approved network.

Former President Bill Clinton went to North Korea this week and brokered a deal to release two American female journalists. Of course he did. Who else would you send out to pick up two women but Bill Clinton?
