President Obama said, after firing Gen. McChrystal, that you don’t criticize your bosses. That’s the same reason Obama never says anything bad about the Chinese.
The bad news for McChrystal is he got fired for insulting the president. But the good news is, Fox News said, “we’ll hire him.”
American Airlines says it has found cracks in the mounts that hold engines onto the wings of two of their Boeing 767 jets. They also said if you want a seat that’s far away from the cracks, you’ll now have to pay an extra fee.
A rich woman in Miami died and left $3 million to her pet Chihuahua and only $1 million to her son. Guys, the next time your mom says, “sit down and roll over,” just do it.

It’s so hot and humid in New York City that today, I found an orchard growing in my pants.
Gen. McChrystal was called home from Afghanistan for a private meeting with President Obama. The meeting was very intimate. It was just the president, the general, and the Salahis.

Hundreds of people are already camping out for the premiere of the new “Twilight” movie. Outside of the theater there’s a line of teenage girls. It’s what Roman Polanski counts to fall asleep every night.
U2 was supposed to play at Glastonbury this year but they had to cancel because lead singer Bono hurt his back. I think it’s because he carries the weight of the world on his tiny leprechaun shoulders.
Every country in the world has music festivals now. In Afghanistan, they have al-Qaida-palooza.
Last night we had an electrical problem, so I had to shoot the show on my laptop. Tonight we have cameras and sounds and it’s almost like a real television show.

President Obama and Gen. Stanley McChrystal are calling it quits. According to the general, they haven’t been intimate in months.
