How was I to know it was Ed McMahon?

I chose not to talk about this on the air this morning, although it did get worldwide coverage over the weekend. An ex-Argentine police commander committed suicide on live TV Friday night as he was about to be arrested for alleged human rights violations. Mario Ferreyra proclaimed to his wife, "Maria, goodbye," before lifting a revolver and shooting himself in the head, just as authorities were arriving at the door of his house to arrest him on charges in connection with the disappearance, torture and death of dissidents during Argentina's 1976 to 1983 dictatorship.
When I heard this story, I thought wouldn't it have been awful if he mistakenly thought the police were at the door, but it was actually the PUBLISHER'S CLEARING HOUSE?

Many of you called in this morning to chime in on the Canadian Supreme court passing the "one-person, one-fare" law, which states that obese airline passengers ARE entitled to two seats for the price of one. The general consensus among you guys was if you're taking up more than one seat, you pay for both. Currently in this country, Southwest Airlines charges obese passengers for 2 fares.

On this date in 1914, baseball great Joe Dimaggio was born. People say his baseball career was the highlight of his life, but I want to remind you, he married Marilyn Monroe. That being the case, it's hard to believe the highlight of his life had anything to do with hitting a baseball.

Also on this date (I was a very, very young boy, but I remember this), Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald. He did this on live TV and it was witnessed by millions of people. In fact, here's a photograph of him doing it.


Despite that, he pleaded "NOT GUILTY". He was kidding, right?

The answer to our movie quiz this morning was "The Wizard of Oz".

Entertainment News: Wrestler Hulk Hogan's estranged wife, Linda, is asking a Florida judge to unfreeze part of their assets while they finalize their divorce, because she can't seem to make ends meet on the temporary alimony of $40,000 a month. WHAT????? I could live a year on $40,000. Just kidding (don't want to give the boss any ideas). HEY, LINDA, GO OUT AND GET A JOB AT WAWA AND GET A GRIP ON REALTY, WILL YA?!

Finally, a pole dancing studio in Salt Lake City, Utah, has become part of a worldwide movement to get pole dancing considered as an Olympic sport for the 2012 Games In London. Lorinda Coombs, co-owner of the Studio Soiree Pole Dancing Studio says pole dancing takes "grace, fluidity and strength". She adds, "We want to see it become an Olympic event". I have a feeling if this happens, we just might see the return of Tonya Harding.

Talk to you tomorrow.
