President Obama announced that he’s recommending a freeze on pay raises for federal employees.  You have to admit it takes a lot of guts to cut the income of the guy who’s about to remove your stitches.

Tiger Woods writes in a Newsweek article that he’ll remake his image and turn his life around.  That’s the good news.  The bad news is he texted the entire article from the Grotto of Eros at the Playboy Mansion.

Actor Wesley Snipes has been sentenced to three years in federal prison for tax evasion.  On a brighter note, he’s already been cast for the lead in Leavenworth’s inmate production of “The Taxman Cometh.”

Archeologists digging in Hunan Province unearthed a fossilized bowl of noodles believed to have been prepared in a Chinese restaurant 2500 years ago.  Must be authentic -- a sign scratched on nearby wall says “No MSG.”

Inventor Steve Sasson was recently honored in Washington for his development of the digital camera.  He admitted he almost gave up when he got the idea for the mega pixel, opened the newspaper, and saw a cheaper one at Frys.

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.
