Some of my best friends' gardeners are middle class (and he was briefly married to Liza Minnelli)


May 2012

"Scientists at NASA say the asteroids are dangerously aligned with the earth's orbit and are large enough to enter our atmosphere without breaking apart. But they also say we shouldn't panic.

"JPMorgan lost $3 billion in their first quarter and today they lost yet another $1 billion. Turns out they bet on the Lakers. I don't know what JPMorgan is doing. They announced today they are moving their entire headquarters to Greece." –Jay Leno

track them down, find out where they're hiding and then sell them our seaports (Dick Cheney returned fire)

When it comes to buying an elected official... (Members of congress for sale)

Doesn't he sound like he would be a dancer at a bondage theme nightclub? (cutting down on wasteful spending?)


"The chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele – you probably heard about this – he got in a lot of trouble.

You know the way most ex-cons actually get jobs? (They get re-elected)



"Newsweek magazine reports that the reason there are so many of these pirate hijackings is that the shipping companies have decided it's cheaper just to pay a ransom than to change the shipping route to sail out of the pirates' way.

"In Philadelphia, a government program offering a $10,000 tax credit to any business hiring an ex-con had no takers. In fact, you know the way most ex-cons actually get jobs? They get re-elected." --Jay Leno

JOKES: Arrest that guy! He clearly hates freedom too! (Miracle Ear)



"Barack Obama is now calling for the Clintons to release all of their tax information. And Newsweek estimates Bill Clinton made between $10 million and $15 million last year for speaking engagements. See, that explains why Hillary hardly ever speaks to him anymore. She can't afford it." --Jay Leno
