Nigerian oil workers are contemplating a three day strike and it has nothing to do with conditions or salaries at the plant. It is just that most of the oil workers have fallen behind in their letters and e-mails from all the long lost rich relatives, lottery winners and large checks they need help cashing to unknown gullible Americans.

We don't think that we have heard this many men discuss the intricacies of a bottom ever since Beyonce sang "Bootylicious".

After 8 previous years of promising victory, shock and awe threats, and
premature "Mission Accomplished" banners, it's nice and just plain feels
good that we now have a President that can admit he could not beat a Special
Olympics athlete.

AIG - We don't have any jokes, but everyone else is talking about it, so we
didn't want to be left out.

Anytime anyone happens to see legendary Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens walking
down the street or anywhere, please give him a message from us. When you pass
him, ask him subtly for us about his stupid commercials how energy from air
will be better than oil soon... just say, "T. Boone, Wow! Was it you who
passed wind"?

When George W. Bush was asked about his Presidential library and museum, he
did his best to answer. Although possibly appearing a little slurry and
wobbly, the ex-President thought and replied. "Hell, with all the stuff I
got away with and lies I got people to believe, I think it should be a
Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum", he said hysterically.

Boy, Trish Regan was sporting her tight green top and lovely pots of gold for St. Patrick's Day.  All she kept repeating was that the Dow was "getting in the green".  Somehow, we were also thinking the same thing.

This message was sent to us as a rebuttal that appeared on these pages recently about marches in protest.  In the powers invested in us by some guy Bob who called and said we have to give equal time for opposing opinions, so be it Bob.  Here you go:

With St. Patrick's Day approaching, I am very surprised at the Irish people, of which some of your staff are included.  This in regards to the Sprint telephone commercial filled with stereotypes of the Irish and not one single Irish was offended and rallied outside the Sprint offices in protest.  In this offensive commercial, attendance is being taken in a class and when they get to the name Callahan, there is no answer.  After repeated calls on their Sprint phones of course, we find out that the young Irish lad is a slacker with criminal traits already showing by cutting out of class.  So, in what could be considered an APB, an All Points Bulletin for this young man who was needed elsewhere to help his family peel potatoes for St. Patrick's Day.  Sure, might as well say it, it fits the stereotype you all were thinking.  To top it off, why not just have the boy found passed out on a law, vomit all over him, hugging one of those little green garden gnomes, muttering “where is your gold” to the tune of that Irish Lullaby, Tura-Lura-Lural.  Instead they make him overweight, trying to elude authorities and what else of all things.  Of all the things they could put in this proud young Irishman's hands?  A drink of course, a drink that he has to be partaking of when he is caught.  It does not matter what was in it.  It portrays the Irish people as lazy, overweight and drinkers.  We all know what a stereotypical image that is.  Where are the Irish people?  Where are you lads and lassies.  Your people on the proudest time of the year, proud of the homeland of beautiful rolling green grass hills, beautiful red haired, fair skinned, young ladies and the original Guinness Brewery. Tis a proud time for the Irish.  The fact that you are not out there marching, protesting and waiting for cameras to show up to actually start doing something.  Be proud of your inaction in the face of absurdity.  Let it be known that a parody, a joke, a funny or attempted cartoon is still recognized as a joke. Let us not be forgetting, the song, the song that blamed the Irish for forgetting one of God's most wondrous creatures.  Sure we remembered the green alligators and long necked geese, the humpty back camels and the chimpanzees, some cats and rats and elephants but  don't you forget my Unicorns.  Yes, that's right..."Don't Forget the Unicorn".  Well thank your Lucky Charms and hoist your green beer in a salute to young Mr. Callahan for appearing in a funny commercial and that we, the Irish people, get the joke.  May you be in Heaven a full half hour before the Devil knows your dead.  Thank you for your time and space.

Beloved actor, director, producer and political activist Ron Silver passed away this past weekend. Initial reports say his passing was purely accidental.  What they know so far is that while listening to multi-Platinum selling band Metallica, unfortunate circumstances began. Ron and Goldie Hawn had just finished a little fooling around that ended with a nice Bronzeski.  When Ron got up to change the CD and put on Queen with Freddie Mercury, he was bitten by a Copper head snake that came in the front door by someone attempting to Steel valuable from the house. It appears Goldie did the best she could to suck the poison out.  She applied pressure, formed an X and sucked it to get the venom out. Unfortunately, her lack of First Aid Training led her to suck elsewhere. Blond remember! Police are still trying to figure out why Mr. Silver had such a huge smile on his face when found.  All from a new script entitled "The Quick and the Dead Part 2" which we guess we will never get to see.

We just saw that a warrant has been issued for Lindsay Lohan's arrest.  Oh man, the perfect specimen of a female in a woman's prison.  OK, that's it.  Can we get one of those subpoenas or warrants from that Robert Shapiro website Legalzoom or something?  We’re putting a warrant out for her too.

OK...who had the idea to slip the Dow Jones some Viagra...well keep it up!

We have heard of trained fleas, but not of an uptick?

We're sorry Cramer,  we hate to pile on after the Jon Stewart massacre the other night but you appeared about as prepared for it as the Eagles in a play-off game.  We can not agree with his statement that the generic crap in stores tastes as good as the real brand names.  He was talking to the CEO of Treehouse foods that makes this wanna be crap.  For example, is anyone out there going to tell us that any of those short, oversized girth, soft and mushy things they call hot dogs are just as good as any of these:  Nathan's, Oscar Meyer, Sabrett, to name a few. Oh and if they crunch when you bite them, bonus points.  The thought of that  tube stuffed with pale gray goop for one night makes us side with Jon Stewart.

"What you talkin' about Willis", their changing the name of the Sears Tower in Chicago to Willis Tower this summer. We didn't know Sears was that much in the hole, maybe they should have had a BIG red tag sale. Oh yeah, pigs will start flying by fall too.

While watching the latest speech made by the President, we noticed that he kept saying the word "earmark" over and over until it became annoying. TDJR eventually figured out what an "earmark" is. An "earmark" is caused by President Obama when he walks through a doorway and leaves those little indentations and scratches behind because his big Dumbo ears can't fit through the doorframe.

It appears that Abraham Lincoln had hidden secret engravings inside his pocket watch and was totally unaware of it, so he says.  The family that did the engraving opened the watch and indeed found tiny writings etched in the watch. Facing one way was news about the first shots fired in the Civil War from April 13, 1861 and made note of it.  Facing the other way was the secret telegraph number of the great, great grandmother of Elliot Spitzer's call girl Ashley Alexandra Dupre and her rates.

We might be last to the party on this one, but does anyone else find it odd, not that Barney Frank is Congress' only openly gay male politician, not just that, but he also happens to have a first and last name that are also men's. Thanks mom and dad...like growing up with the name Barney wasn't probably difficult enough in the height of the Flintstones cartoon era but also having to deal with having a "hard rock" for Fred!

We hope the oil buyers in the pits are up on their Shakespeare and take it seriously.  If you recall a soothsayer warns Julius Caesar to "Beware the Ides of March" which happens to be March 15th.  Well, he must have wanted in on some old time insider trading by telling Caesar that, but oh well.  We all knew what happened than, what about now?  Why should we care in the oil pits now? Well, the OPEC Ministers meet soon to discuss cutting oil output due to lesser demand which may mean higher prices after the ministers meet...on March 15th!!!
Believe it or not!
Just to let you know, the old soothsayer did OK for himself in the end.  Not only did he nail the day right on the money but he actually even hedged it and parlayed his original bet by taking Brutus with the points and won as Brutus did join in on the attack at the end.

Trivia time: 
Hover your mouse over the question to reveal the answer (no peeking):

Trivia #1: What do the original TV show Superman and Perry White have to do with Brutus later on committing suicide? He was visited by the ghost of Caesar and Perry White who always said, "Great Caesars Ghost".

Trivia # 2: True stumper without looking it up: There was a band called, "The Ides of March", who in the early 1970's had a Top 10 hit on the billboard charts (#2 to be exact). What was the name of that song? Vehicle

Trivia #3: What connection did the band "The Ides of March" have to do in a later incarnation with the mega hit from "Rocky III"? Original member and one of the founders of "The Ides of March" Jim Peterik, founded the band Survivor and co-wrote all of their platinum hits including "Eye of the Tiger", "The Search Is Over", "High on You" and "I Can’t Hold Back". In case you are the only person on the planet who hasn't seen all the Rocky movies, "Eye of the Tiger" was in "Rocky lll".


Yet just another little taste of some of the tons of stupid and useless information we will hardly ever get to use fresh from the TDJR team of information plucker's.

What do you get when you add TALF and TARP together?:
A whole lot of friggin money.

Even though it will go down in history like this, it just doesn't seem right that President Obama is labeled as the one with the "stimulus package".
If there was anything in the White House that did its share of stimulating, we would have to say it was President Bill Clinton.

After watching "24" last night, it seems that the White House has a "safe room" on every floor.  How convenient it is that the President made it into the exact safe room that they received the code for. Lets see, earlier this year, Jack broke into a safe room.  Hmmm now what?  How will they keep him inside a safe room, we can barely wait.

So now it seems ever since "Theo" in the movie Diehard had a magic laptop that was hooked up to every function and schematic in the building, not to forget the huge drill for the safe, we see a trend developing. A lot of young black men are being typecast.  Look at 24 last night, a young black man with his laptop is deciphering the code to get the president, blow the safe room open or find another way with his laptop.  This was after his little laptop helper worked underwater and in a sewer to get them to the White House.
 
We're  lost.  We spilled a little coffee on our office laptop and sparks, wires and pieces of  flaming Captain Crunch came flying into the air almost igniting the little pieces of greasy french fries stuck in the keyboard.  What's a man to do?

(Management Note: Destruction of company property is forbidden.  Please eat in cafeteria and not over keyboard or get appropriate keyboard vacuum or French Maid but please do not expense French Maid to company. Thank you.)

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon debuted last night at 12:35PM EST replacing Late Night with Conan O'Brien which replaces The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in June at 11:35PM EST while The Jay Leno Show debuts at 10:00PM EST in September. 

Conan has chosen is old sidekick Andy Richter as his announcer and has taken the Max Weinberg 7 with him as his house band which debuts on June 1 since they are all moving from New York to California.

OK , if you got all that straight, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon debuted at NBC's Rockefeller Center Studio 6B last night in a new studio, with a new set, with new announcer Steve Higgins and a new house band, the critically acclaimed Grammy Award winning, all black (5/09 update: token white guy added to band), hip-hop band The Roots while Conan's house band had a variety of ethnicities in it. TDJR thinks this may be some sort of President Obama change or stimulus package in action.

Things are getting out of control with the banks. We were filling out a deposit slip at our bank, made a mistake and went to take a new one. Well, before we could grab it, two security guards restrained us and advised that it was only one deposit slip per customer.  Any additional slips require a mandatory payment of one dollar with proof of ID.  If it is a withdrawal slip, no way they want you taking money out. You have to fill out a form in triplicate, pay a $5 fee and be granted an audience with the bank manager to obtain a temporary reprieve and a promise not to take money out again.

Next time we need money, we’re just going go to Citibank.  We’re pretty sure out of the 45 billion dollars they received, there's got to be a loose fiver lying around somewhere that flew out of the armored car and blew off the stack or something.

This headline appeared on MSNBC.com the other day, "Drug Stocks Fall on Obama Budget Health Proposals ".  We assume that doesn't include pain killers or Valium.

When President Obama announced that he would need 3.5 Trillion dollars for his new budget, all we could think of was Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers' movies when he asks a ridiculous price for a ransom and they all laugh at him.
