Just for fun. Have a good weekend!

Pay Paula a visit.

I’m hearing Paula is on NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me with Tony Snow. I’ll be listening to the podcast later, but someone told me this was a highlight:

Tony Snow: The White House is the best place I’ve ever worked

Paula Poundstone: You ever work at the IHOP? Cuz I’m just wondering what your past work experience must have been.

Tony Snow: There are no leaks in The White House

Paula Poundstone: I KNEW we’d catch you in some sort of distortion.

..can’t wait to listen to the whole thing!

  • They are really getting some top-tier guests- including Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer...

    Justice will get grilled

    WASHINGTON | Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer plans to follow in the footsteps of John McCain, Barack Obama, “Weird Al” Yankovic and other notables.

    Breyer will be a guest on National Public Radio’s “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me,” a weekly humorous news quiz show.

    Breyer will be the first justice to appear on the program, host Peter Sagal said. “We’re immediately starting at the very top. Well, pretty close,” Sagal said.

    Breyer will participate via telephone March 15 in the program’s “Not My Job” segment, in which celebrities try to answer three extremely obscure questions.

    For instance, Obama was quizzed on baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs’ many superstitions. Yankovic, who produces music parodies, faced questions about entertainer Pia Zadora.

    The program will be broadcast the weekend of March 17.

    Breyer, who in his youth was a fan of radio quiz shows, was volunteered for the program by his brother, Charles, also a federal judge.
  • The pop-tart skit is still the greatest of all time, but I couldn't find that one - plus this is more topical.
