"Lighten Up, Francis"

I'm a big fan of the Inopinion.com daily jokes feature Too Tough For TV. A few of my favorites from this week:

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin says his city is better prepared for the upcoming hurricane season because of stronger flood walls, better evacuation plans, and the fact that most of the city’s residents now live in Houston.

Susan Sarandon has been tapped to play Cindy Sheehan in an upcoming movie about the anti-war protestor. Gee, I wonder if she’ll be believable as an obnoxious know-it-all who hates America? Oh, wait…

Slobodan Milosevic’s estranged daughter has denounced the rest of his family for burying the former president on the grounds of the family estate. But in their defense, it was the one place they were pretty sure wasn’t already a mass grave.

Vice President Cheney says Iran will not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. When asked how he could be so sure, he said, “You don’t see Harry Whittington with one, do you?”

How bad is it for President Bush? Today at a press conference, Hillary Clinton said, "Come on, can't you cut the guy some slack?"

A suicide bomber in Afghanistan triggered a car bomb near a convoy of French troops, but only managed to kill himself. This marks France’s first military victory since Bastille Day.
