Charlie Sheen has filed for divorce from his third wife, Brooke Mueller, but he shouldn’t suffer too much financially.  Luckily, Charlie had smart lawyers who insisted she sign a pre-rehab.

Pittsburgh’s KDAK, the nation’s first radio station, is ninety years old this week.  On November 2, 1920, the station’s first historic words were broadcast:  “We’ll be right back after this message.”

A judge ordered Lindsay Lohan back to the Betty Ford until January  which means she’ll spend Christmas there.  That’s not so bad.  Last year’s passion play starred Charlie Sheen, Randi Quaid and Mel Gibson as the Three Wise Men.

In Ohio, the owner of a McDonalds was accused of stuffing employees’ pay envelopes with Republican propaganda.  He was probably preparing them for their next Republican message:  “Your minimum wage has been canceled.”

Scientists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center have produced a mini-human liver in the laboratory using stem cells.  Further testing is necessary, but so far they’re working splendidly in alcoholic mice.

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.
