W.O.W. (Wanda On Woods)
The local cops in Florida could have saved themselves so much time by just checking out Wanda Sykes' version of Tiger Woods' accident:
This skit/stand-up is a great example of what the late improv master Del Close called "truth in comedy." Even though this was a staged bit, it's absolutely hilarious -- precisely because it is such a close approximation of what probably happened.
"Hovering is not a good thing..." Brilliant!

Reality Bites
Prediction: While it will undoubtedly create a First Amendment hullabaloo, figure that within a year or two, expect more legislation, perhaps starting at the state level, to start addressing reality-TV publicity-seekers. The "Balloon Boy" fiasco was the beginning. Now, with the absurdity of the so-called "society" duo crashing the White House state dinner, the broader potential security dangers being attached to reality TV are becoming apparent.

Paging Michael Dukakis!!
Does Mike Huckabee face a 'Willie Horton' problem? The suspect in the weekend shooting of four police officers in Seattle received clemency in Arkansas nearly a decade ago. Uh-oh.
