CNN.com's lead stories today...

Bush Appoint's Bolton as U.N. Ambassador
Saudi Arabi's King Fhad Dies
Space Station Repairs Underway
Next Season's Simpsons guests are...

Who decides the order of these things? I mean, fine, maybe Bolton to the United Nations is number one for today, but I think we'd all agree that knowing that Dennis Rodman is a guest star on next season's Simpsons is way more important that King Fahd dying. Please, the guy was in a coma for the past 10 years. Guest stars only get announced one day a year.

Ironically, al-Jazzera.com led with the Simpsons story. Apparently, the Arab World loves Groundskeeper Willy.

I think my all-time two favorite Simpsons are the one where Homer eats the Guatemalan Insanity Pepper and the Halloween Episode where Lisa creates life in a petrie dish. Anyone with me on those two?

The ladies of The View are talking about poor Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie, who claim not to like each other, yet will do another season of "Simple Life". Hmm, call me a cynic but maybe they are just making up the whole fued just for the free publicity? C'mon Starr Jones, call it like it is! Say allegedly if you have to! File a leagal brief! Eat a piece of cake! Just do something!

Current TV, Al Gore's new TV network is officially on the air today. Tune in at 3 p.m. to see Al arm wrestle John Kerry.

The people who brought us the Atkins Diet have declared bankruptcy. How funny would it be if they became homeless and had to eat only bread scraps from the dumpsters of bakeries?

So I'm back to city comedy after the big weekend on the road. The last two shows really were great, and despite being in the middle of nowhere the whole weekend was a lot of fun. Now back to the Comedy Company, with it's leaky ceiling, no air-conditioning and strange smell. Come on down and see a great show!
