Press One For English

Should English be the official language of these United States of America? On YouTube, "Press One For English," has garnered over 8 million views and climbing all without the benefit of radio or television play. Is it time for our huddle masses yearning to be free to learn the language of the land?

Papa John Preaches Hold the Pizza

Hold the Pizza!  You can imagine Mondo's surprise after Papa John's Pizza King, John Schnatter, advised his patrons to eat less pizza.   Is Pizza bad for you?  "No. Pizza's actually healthy for you if you don't eat too much of it," Schnatter replied, adding, "You can't eat five or six slices but if you eat one or two slices it's very nutritious."  Thanks, Papa John, thanks for setting the record straight.  Too bad, Mondo's already maxed out his business credit card at your store.  What's your return policy?

Mamma Mia, Octuplets Mom Got $168G In Disability!

Apparently, eight is not enough for Octuplet Mom, Nadya Suleman who has six other children at home.  That's a lot of mouths to feed.  How does she manage?    Nadya Suleman collected almost $168,000 in state disability payments for an on-the-job back injury that she and a doctor said was worsened by pregnancy, according to state documents released Thursday.

The 33 year old mother became pregnant with all 14 of her children after a 1999 injury during a riot at a state mental hospital where she worked, state Division of Workers' Compensation documents show.   Mondo just thinks that's crazy!

World Nude Day

World Nude Day? Never heard of it, neither did Mondo, but there's some fun loving, uninhibited and very naked New Zealanders who on February 6th video themselves au natural. Apparently, these home movies are quite funny as in this one at the car wash.  I hope he skipped the hot wax!

Racoons Overrun White House

The White House was invaded this morning by unwelcomed guests: a group of raccoons that evaded capture by the National Park Service. "The idea of raccoons on the White House grounds give us great pause," spokesman Bill Burton said. The Washington Post reports that "one very large raccoon and several medium-sized raccoons" were seen on the grounds and have managed to avoid the "live traps" (with apples, cat food and peanut butter) set up to nab the animals.

Mondo thinks the White House ought to give these raccoons a credit card and let them stay at a Quality Inn hotel with broadband satellite internet phone and pool. After all, I'm sure the raccoons were just in town for the inauguration and needed a place to crash.

John McCain Tell Us Where Bin Laden Is?

Remember during the election John McCain boasting that he knew where Bin Laden was?  Vote for me, and I'll get the bastard.  Well, Johnny boy, election's over, put away the political rhethoric, and dish.  Stop being a maverick and start being a patriot.   Reach across the isle and tell us where Bin Laden is hiding.  We're all in this together.
