The old Hoffa’s in your driveway scam.

Then some guy with a ladder and a bucket of tar says Hoffa’s on your roof.

That’s not radon in your basement, that’s Hoffa.

Come in with the Hoffa sniffing dogs.

You and I disappear, we’re gone. But not Hoffa . . .

In all the news that isn’t Hoffa–

If we could only find Sinatra we’d find Hoffa.

Romney lowers expectations and concedes debates.

Israel’s Netanyahu shows the UN Iran’s cartoon bomb. Have achieved Spy v. Spy technology.

Vatican says take Jesus’ wife, please.

Mitt Romney says he meant to say 47% of Americans are victims of receding gums.

The Romneys have been very fortunate in that respect.

Retooling his campaign, Romney says he will be president of all 26 states of the United States of America.

And the territory of the Cayman Islands.

Pretty sure the Swiss account is in the horse’s name.

Romney doubled-down on the 47% figure for dependent entitled victims, so it has risen to 94%.

At campaign stops Ann is now handing out free food, healthcare, and what-not. Horse treats.

Trying to broaden his base, Romney will attend the Latin Grammies. Aides are encouraging him not to do “Hot, Hot, Hot!” Or “Calore, Calore, Calore!” as Mitt insists on calling it.

To show he will president of all the people, Romney promises to bring tax evasion to the middle class.

Takes a special guy to brag about underpaying taxes.

Mr. Romney will attempt to loosen up his speeches by imagining the audience in Mormon underwear.

In other news that isn’t . . .

Paulie Ryan caned to within an inch of his life at AARP convention. They didn’t think much of his opening “American Association of Retarded People” quip. Kills ’em in Janesville.

Vin Diesel indicted for Fast & Furious.

Chicago students return to truant as classes resume.

In the aftermath of the strike, Mayor Rahm Emmanuel finds he’s missing another finger.

Several NFL replacement refs had to be put to sleep after last week’s games. It’s the kindest thing.

47% of Americans would like to get in on those Romney donor sex parties.

French magazine must hand over Kate breast originals.

Current rate of exchange is 2 Kate breasts for 1 Harry bottom.

Not much movement on the topless Fergie shots, and there’s carloads of ’em.

Mars Curiosity begins search for something that looks like Pasadena.

Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada divorce before I know who they are.

New Apple maps on the iPhone 5 only show Cupertino.
Although Steve Jobs’ house is shown as a water filtration plant.

Apple maps show Cayman Islands right off La Jolla. Convenient.

Iran is missing from the Israeli Apple maps.

Content for Apple maps comes from the Ouija people.

So much tumult about iPhone 5 Apple maps nobody’s noticed you can’t make a call on the damn things.

Lindsay Lohan was using Apple maps when she clipped that cook in the driveway. Replacement refs did not call clipping, however.

What Lindsay needs are diplomatic plates.

Paris Hilton blows chance to be gay icon big time.
Paris now says 47% of Americans are horny and probably have aids.

Only makes sense that Jesus had a wife and that he never mentioned her.

New Romney ads don’t mention him by name, just as the guy with the Paulie Walnuts hair.

This fall on Fox: Mitt Romney Special Victims Unit.

Here in Wisconsin, Judge overturns Teacher Repair Bill, and

In Madison, 3rd graders hold their breath to protest Governor Walker’s visit to their elementary school . . .

Todd ‘Legitimate Rape’ Akin supplants Paulie Ryan as top conservative intellectual.

Short run for Paulie who, as a B-minus student at Janesville Craig, was leading the intellectual pack.

Paulie Ryan finally driven off the front page by Miley Cyrus’s
haircut. Kind of a deconstructed Bart Simpson.

Only got a Quayle-light bounce from his selection.

He still has the Ryan budget, so called because he’s unable to budge it.

The Romney people have asked Ryan to stop referring to the plan as The Final Solution, and to Medicare as Medicide.

Good news is Paulie Ryan has been granted asylum in Ecuador.

Romney has paid as much as 13% in taxes, but only tips 10%–if the service is good.

This is the same rate my 18 year old pays on her declared baby-sitting. The bulk of her babysitting income is in the Cayman Islands. And, of course, the Swiss accounts.

Curiously, the Romney figure is the same as the luxury tax. Most likely for bric-a-brac at the La Jolla-on-Sea estate.

Or, what he might have done was add together Ann & his 6.5% Salt Lake sales taxes and, after running it past Paulie Ryan, come up with 13%.

The hope is Mr. Romney will release his returns so the rest of us can figure out how to get off with a 13% rate.

On holy land junket, Republican congressmen recreate Jesus’ drunken nude swim in Galilee–fortunately none walk on water.

Russian punk band Pussy Riot gets 2 years in the Gulag while Lady Antebellum walks around free.

Arizona begins wrist tattoo ID’s for suspected immigrants.

Consumer confidence even with consumer angst.

Current thinking is Neanderthals didn’t mate with humans but did serve as vice presidents.

Steve Jobs home burglarized and all his Samsung tablets stolen.

Question is, how did the burglar know he wasn’t at home?

Birth control for men formulated–they’re calling it beer.

Ecuador adds Wikileaker Assange to its portfolio of bananas, pot and money transfers.

Sexting is, like, so over when it appears in the Merriam-Webster.

F-bomb makes the dictionary, too, but it occurs so often should be the f-carpet bomb. Bleep bomb for Real Housewives fans.

Kristen Stewart to star in Snow Off-White.

To aid UN waste management effort, Bill Gates puts a billion dollars into Vapoorize.

Fukushima butterflies fine, it’s the world that’s abnormal.

Walnuts said to be good for you walnuts.

Stock freefall, or, the Facebook on the Barroom Floor.

GM recalls 40,000 cruisers leaving 80,000 cops stranded at Dunkin’ Donuts.

With the Paulie Ryan VP pick new hope for Janesville 2020 Olympics.

The Romney people have asked Ryan to stop referring to his health plan as Medicide.

Returning to Wisconsin, Paulie Ryan says his veins are filled with cheese which, unfortunately, is no longer covered.

If he can stick his fist down a catfish gullet he should be able to do something for Mitt Romney.

Tim Pawlenty had to be talked down from atop the Paul Bunyan in Brainerd, MN.

With the elections coming down to the wire, the best indicators of the outcome are celebrity endorsements. To date:

President Obama:
Sarah Jessica Parker
George Clooney
Leonardo DiCaprio
Hillary Duff. (Hillary Duff?)
Neil Patrick Harris
Ricky Martin
Suze Orman (no pattern there)
Steven Spielberg and
Harry Osmond, the renegade Osmond.

Mitt Romney:
Porn star Jenna Jameson
Clint Eastwood
Orson Bean (still alive)
Chuck Norris
(comedian) Jeff Foxworthy
Ted Nugent
Kid Rock
Gene Simmons (makings of one really strange band)
and Brad Pitt’s mom.

You be the judge.

Polls show President Obama either pulling away from Romney or Romney backing up. Thought I heard a ding ding ding ding ding.

Drone seen over Mr. Romney’s bus.

Mr. Obama leads by a wide margin among Latinos & women–just one Latina could wrap things up. Maybe Rosie Perez.

The president has been so busy campaigning he’s really neglecting the war on religion. Not going to fight itself.

Same for the preoccupied Romney who’s only killed the one woman who needed medical care.

Biggest challenge for Romney is to finish dumbing himself down by November 6.

Mitt has really worked on his stump speech which is now down to “Give me sugar. In water.”

This whole taxes thing is so unfair–rich people don’t pay taxes and Obama knows it.

Drone sweet drone.

Your neighbor gets one it’ll be keeping up with the droneses.

Russian punk band Pussy Riot faces 3 years in the gulag for a bad band name. When one band is imprisoned for a name, no band is free.

Have yet to hear from the Pussycat Dolls on this one.
