Oil and Wednesdays Don't Mix

And it also makes for a mighty lousy salad dressing.

---I figure that, eventually, we'll stop talking about the oil spill.

---Maybe.

---Maybe this was Obummer"s sneaky way to create some "shovel ready" jobs.

---Instead of pointing fingers, all involved need to suck it up.

---Yes, BP was at fault.

---Yes, the federal government was at fault.

---And you thought all the grease and slime was in Washington DC.

---The only ones I can't blame here are the Obummer kids.

---Yet.

---Obummer treated this catastrophe like it was an oil slick on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago.

---Maybe we should bring in Manny, Moe, and Jack the Pepboys. They fixed my oil leak.

---Looking at pictures like the one above, I have one message of advice for the next year.

---Don't order the shrimp.

---Speaking of shrimp, Mickey Rooney turns 90 this September.

---I'm obviously short of news this week.

---And, also speaking of shrimp, RIP Gary Coleman.

---I know, I know. Too easy a joke.

---Well, at least, he didn't die of a stroke. That would be way, way too easy.

---Who knew that Conrad Bain would outlive two-thirds of his young cast?

---The new Fall TV schedules are out and I already know what I'm not going to watch.

---Pretty much, the entire new Fall TV schedule.

---CBS is moving "The Big Bang Theory" to Thursday nights in an attempt to get all that pre-movie weekend advertising.

---The last time CBS had comedies at that hour on Thursday nights? Forty five years ago.

---"Gilligan's Island" and "My Three Sons."

---For those of you who actually considered "Gilligan's Island" funny.

---Speaking of which, Tina Louise turned 76 on my last birthday.

---It really is a slow news week.

---"American Idol" ended and Lee DeWyze was crowned the surprise winner over Crystal Bowersox, which sounds like an 1890s baseball team.

---Lee will not only make a record album, but he will also work up some very soothing pastels for your bedroom wall.

---Simon Cowell said goodbye and "American Idol" bid farewell to the top 25 Nielsen rankings.

---At this pace, next year's finale can be held at the Lompoc VFW Hall.

---Yes, there is a place named Lompoc.

---Paula Abdul was a surprise guest at the Idol finale. The only problem is she thought she was at the Grammys.

---Well, the Gores are separating. Al and Tipper moving to separate homes.

---Oh, great. Another big house with a huge electrical bill.

---So, I guess their marriage is a victim of global cooling.

Peace and out. Don't drink any black water.

Dinner last night: Pepperoni CPK pizza at the Dodger game.
