Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walked off the set of “The View” while Bill O’Reilly was guesting.  Well, uh, they didn’t exactly walk off -- Bill rubbed his Christine O’Donnell doll and poof! They disappeared.

Rampant inflation in Egypt, for years virtually unknown, has reached record levels with rates now at 11.7% and climbing. Nobody is immune. King Tut may have to move back in with mummy and daddy.

A strike by truck drivers in France has virtually shut down the French economy.  The teamsters are protesting the rising cost of gasoline, replacement parts, and truck stop hookers.

Researchers are working on computer software that will dramatically slim movie and TV performers.  It’s being developed by K.O. Images, Inc., a new company founded by Kirstie Alley and Oprah Winfrey.

Distancing themselves from “images of the old south,” students at the University of Mississippi replaced their mascot, Colonel Reb, with “Rebel Black Bear.”  May have some problems, though.  The bear is wearing a pillowcase with eye holes.

"Having spent twenty years writing for the indefatigable Bob Hope, and traveling all over the world, Bob Mills is well qualified to salute the famous corps of gag men who kept the comedian knee-deep in jokes.

WakiLeaks: History Declassified 2000 (Vol. One) is now available on Kindle for $2.99

Compiled from Bob's newsletter "Funnyside Up" published in 2000. This is a yuck and chuckle-filled stroll down memory lane to a time before the Bush administration had inflicted its damage -- a time before the search for WMDs and Osama bin Laden. See what we were laughing at back then, who was in the news and who had yet to enter rehab -- which NFL stars had yet to do time in the Gray Bar Hotel.
