8/17/11 monologue

Teen apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch Co. has offered to pay Jersey Shore cast member Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino not to wear its merchandise.
Abercrombie & Fitch want to be clear on this, they still want him to wear clothes. Just not their clothes. They fear the orange may rub off.
Three out of four high school graduates aren’t fully prepared for college and likely need to take at least one remedial class, according to the latest annual survey from the nonprofit testing organization ACT.

Four out of four didn’t know that three fourths is 75%. I think they are watching too much Jersey Shore [fist pump].

There's never an ideal time for a presidential vacation. But President Barack Obama's sojourn this week to Martha's Vineyard - known as a playground for the wealthy and well-connected - comes in the wake of the nation's first-ever credit rating downgrade.
If the prez can’t take a vaca then the downgraders have won. It’s not like the lobster is going to knock us down to a C-. That is for freshman taking the ‘Reading Good’ class.

Apple has been sued by a group of about 27000 South Koreans seeking $26 million in compensation for what they feel are privacy violations.

5/5/11 monologue

Well, President Obama decided not to release a photo of Osama bin Laden because the photo is too graphic. Has the president seen a CBS crime show? Between the crime shows and the movie 300 there’s enough blood to sate the twilight vampires. Totally team Edward.
Apple has released a software update to fix a glitch that saw iPhones and iPads secretly record owners' movements. Yeah, the software update comes in a pill that you swallow.
A provocative European study suggests that moderate salt intake might be no problem and that diets very low in salt could be a recipe for trouble. Can we please make up our minds on this because I’m thinking of having bacon and a bottle of red wine for every meal.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, making her big-screen debut in this summer's Transformers: Dark of the Moon, has topped Maxim's annual Hot 100 list. Congratulations, I’m sure Rosie will create rosie palms all over the US. But Rosie, a word of advice, when you try to make the leap to acting, Transformers may not be the best vehicle. This is like making the leap to art collecting with the dogs playing poker portrait.
