She want's half...of everything I own

Who is it this time?

A-Rod!

The wife of New York Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriguez filed for divorce Monday morning in Florida's Miami-Dade County Family Court.




First Johnny Carson...and I remember the face Eddie Murphy said he had in the papers the next day when his wife filed a divorce claiming half of his fortune. So we want to keep the tradition of heart-break faces men make after their wives file divorce and they have no strong prenuptial agreement in place.





Giving half of $250M away (not funny).

Let's get married on the Moon

A couple is seeking to get married on the moon by 2011, following moves a recent couple whom married 62 miles above ground in a rocket-jet.

Now isn't this a bit too far. Standing on the moon and the pastor says, you may kiss the bride and you take off your helmet (forgetting where you are) and die (not funny). Or you you keep it on but since it's your first trip to the moon you don't know the velocity and you move forward to kiss and shatter the glass frame of the helmet and your oxygen-less body...well you get the picture.

I think adventure has to have a limit. The government should cast a limit on adventure. President Bush would probably veto it seeing they allow cigarette smoking; let's keep the imagination going. I'm going to renew my vows on the rings of Saturn or Neptune, which ever I have gas to reach (funny).

Rose, early lunch for Beasley

In the NBA Orlando summer league, the Chicago Bulls played against the Miami Heat. Typically, this is no real big match up besides these two teams selecting the first and second picks of the NBA draft. The Bulls selecting Derrick Rose, and the Heat taking Michael Beasley.

The Bulls were no match for Beasley as he went on to a game high 28 points; while the number 1 draft pick had 5 turnovers (not funny). Rose didn't have much to say besides, "hey, it's not even pre-season yet."

Understandable; however don't let Chicago hold it's breath now. We really wanted to bring a guy named Michael back to the City. Now his last name is Beasley and not Jordan - but you get the picture. The Bulls lost 94 - 70, ouch!

Chicago shouldn't be disappointed yet; give it till the All-Star break before we hang our heads.

Do you think Chicago should have selected Beasley?

Arrange Marriage Ends in Murder

They say the big sin is showing someone light that have been confined to a dark room all their life. It becomes hard to go back to the dark room; or give them a Fred Sanford junk truck after they have driven a Mercedes Benz all their life. The same with keeping old customs and traditions that in your native country while exposing the new freedoms and liberties the United States present.

Arrange marriages are not law here and second generation children sometimes do not understand the culture after being exposed to so much freedom of choice and more. A man's daughter apparently did not like the arrange marriage situation and rebelled stating she did not want to remain married to the husband she was arranged to.

The father then choked her, in his anger, to death. What do we have now? A father who has to go to jail for murder (and room with big shoulder criminals who kill for fun (not funny)), a dead daughter, and a husband who is freed from his marriage contract.

Many countries still deal with the arrange marriage concept - it works because it has been going on for centuries. Should it be continued? Adam and Eve was an arranged marriage, however God picked and created the bride for Adam.

This is a sad story - when 'till death do us part' is not so great.

Lady Wrongly sings National Anthem!

A singer asked to sing the national anthem, breaks out into singing the Black National Anthem instead shocking the room - and later shocking the nation.

The question is, "is she wrong?" Some from the black community suggest she is not wrong, while others say she is. She has yet to apologize.

Now I don't care what your agenda is; if you were asked to do something and you agreed to do it; then you go out and do something else; that is a breach of agreement and you are wrong.

So I guess the outrage from the "black community" (those who defend her), is that people would not be angry if she had sung "God bless America," instead of the black national anthem.

People, do not defend foolishness (not funny, not cool). If she had sung the national anthem, and then continued to sing her rendition of the "black national anthem," perhaps not as much frustration from the citizens of Denver and the US.

Is she wrong - comment below.

SuperSonics Moving

Seattle Supersonics will be moving from Seattle to Oklahoma City. Over the years owners finally realized their team was depressed over the raining weather it called mentally and have decided to move.

Why do NBA teams move to Oklahoma City? New Orleans moved temporarily there shortly after hurricane Katrina blew open their arena and destroyed the town forcing a temporary departure. I have to go to Oklahoma to find out what kind of basketball they have there.

We may change this from Chicago Funnies to Oklahoma City Funnies (not funny).

We still love the Taste of Chicago

CHiCAGO - We still love food; we still love the Taste of Chicago as more than 3.5 million visitors attended the annual event in Chicago. This is in spite of high gas prices (the gas prices), funny looking economy ($$ numbers), and even a couple of shootings that had even the police dodging for cover with hot-dogs in hand (funny).

It's been 27 years of the 10-day event, which ended on SUNday. A spokeswoman from the Mayor's Special Events office noted people were not "deterred" by the weekend violence that wounded five people, killing one.

Even in the day light (Saturday morning) one was wounded. This shows we love the Taste of Chicago here and that we love food, especially the food the City has. Cheers to all the vendors.

Religion and Presidents

In recent times religion has played a special role in selecting a president. I'm curious why is it a big factor in a country that has freedom of religion?

Well one thing is if I believe in Allah, it would make sense to elect someone who shares that same belief. Likewise if I am a Christian, having someone with like belief will make my life better with that person in office.

So why is it just as important as the economy? Because belief is what drives every individual. We took a look at past presidents to see which religions we've had in office.

Pew preferences
Here's a breakdown of presidents by denomination:
• Episcopalian: 11 presidents
• Presbyterian: 10
• Methodist: 5
• Baptist: 4
• Unitarian: 4
• Disciples of Christ: 3
• Reformed: 2
• Quaker: 2
• Catholic: 1
• Congregationalist: 2

Epsicopalian seem to run the show along with Presbyterians, after that Methodist, and then Baptist (Bill Clinton). So in all this, the faiths of McCain and O'bama lead to McCain getting the presidential nomination because he was raised Epsicopalian and later converted Baptist.

The list of past presidents religious affiliations are all different sects of Christianity. So, then whos 'sheep-skin' is authentic; in other words whos form of christianity is valid (not funny)?

Church and state are not as separate as it use to be. What do you think?
