Rise and Shine --- Comedy ... or not?

Good Morning and welcome to the end of a rainy, weird week!

Just in time for the holiday shopping season comes Sarah Palin's new book, 'Going Rogue.'
Apparently, this is some new form of comedy. The former Vice Presidential candidate (Remember, she was running with somebody named John McCain) takes shots at everbody from Katie Couric to McCain's campaign to the public who voted for the other Presidential candidate.
The Associated Press picked up an advance copy of the book, which, according to the story, contains such jems as:
The Palins never wanted all those fancy clothes, news anchor Katie Couric is condescending, biased and "badgering" and she wanted to give a speech at after Obama was declared the election winner.
Now, that might have been good comedy:

Rise and Shine --- Linking today's best

Good Morning and welcome to the end of the week!

Meanwhile, don't hold your breath for Prince Harry to stop by Delco during his visit to Philadelphia today. He'd probably bump into somebody while getting a Wawa sandwich and we'd have an international incident.
We also have this idiot who called 911 after not getting his orange juice at McDonald's. Anybody want to bet he has some ties to Delco. By the way, if you're so angry it upsets you when your OJ doesn't come fast enough, you probably send letters to THIS PILLAR OF SOCIETY.
Then again, we live in a world where THIS BRAINIAC and THIS GENIUS can be our next door neighbor.
Well, we do have THESE KIND OF PEOPLE teaching our youth. What do we expect?
Thankfully, HE'S BACK! Now, there's the comedy we've been missing.
Speaking of comedy...

Rise and Shine --- Movie connections

Good Morning and bundle up!

During a conversation in the newsroom yesterday the subject of movies came up (how it got from typewriters to movies is another, very long, story) and there was talk about the new Steve Martin movie 'The Pink Panther 2.'
The movie is a sequel to the 'The Pink Panther' which was a remake of 'The Pink Panther' which was one of the funniest movies ever made.
Now, having seen all the original Pink Panther movies several times, I never really felt the need to see the Steve Martin remake. Really, the originals (there were four really worth seeing), staring Peter Sellers are great movies. They are funny. They are outlandish. They are a good way to escape.
At least for some.
Now, a few years ago as a Christmas gift, I received the DVD box set of all the movies. So, having enjoyed these movies so much, I gathered the family around and popped the first one into the player.
Of course, moments into the movie, I was laughing like crazy, nearly falling off the couch.
The rest of the family? Well, if they could have fallen asleep they would have. If they laughed once throughout the movie, I missed it. For some reason, it didn't connect.
I have a feeling, though, they would find the Steve Martin remake very funny.
Why? There are mysteries out there that can never be solved.
At least I can get the boys to watch the 'Three Stooges.'
