HOMEY DON'T PLAY THAT
You know how Bush supposedly "doesn't care about black people"? Well, the feeling is apparently mutual. This, earlier in the week, from comedian Damon Wayans:

"I'll send my sons [to Iraq] if [Bush] sends his daughters. Put those two drunk bitches on a plane and let them go fight. At least I know my sons would be getting some on the way."

Said one clown to the other . Bozo.

A few other random bits that slipped through the Days news filter this past week:

• In local politics, congressman Anthony Weiner's campaign for the Democratic mayoral nomination has proven comic gold for every potty joke enthusiast out there. Last Tuesday's primary brought Weinerfest '05 to a 'head' (see what I mean!) when headline writers everywhere were provided the glorious opportunity to pen the header, "Weiner Pulls Out." And here I thought "Weiner runoff" was going to be the best we got. We'll miss you Mr. Weiner, please re-insert yourself in '09.
• Leave it to New Jersey to unleash the Bubonic Plague on us all. I still haven't forgiven them for Bon Jovi dammit.
• Speaking of plagues, Britney and K.Fed introduced little baby Preston to the world this past week. While I was certain the baby would resemble a Cheeto, Top5 has the photo exclusive to prove me wrong.
• Avast mateys! Tomorrow is Talk Like a Pirate Day! Don't forget your eye patch.
• And finally, a recommendation for those of you here in New York. I caught the opening night of "Bush is Bad", a new musical revue at the Triad Theatre on the Upper West Side. It's similar to this blog, only set to music and a whole lot more clever. The show runs through October, go check it out! Tickets available here.
