So far, Charlie Sheen has been interviewed by “Good Morning, America,” “The Today Show,” “The Early Show,” “20-20,” “Frontline,” “CNN’s 360” -- and this afternoon I heard him talking to the girl in my GPS device.

The LAPD Robbery Detail has released a surveillance video of jewelry store robbers absconding with $3 million worth of precious gems.  Or, as Lindsay Lohan would refer to it, “a training film.” 

The government of Romania will soon prosecute witches and fortune tellers whose predictions fail to materialize.  They’re very serious about weeding out phonies.  They’ve already convicted Christine O’Donnell in absentia.

Apple recently discovered that some of their sub-contractors in Third World countries have been paying employees sweat shop salaries.  It came to light when auditors noticed that Apple wasn’t only the name of the company, but also the mode of payment.     

For the first time, beer has been officially classified as an alcoholic beverage by health officials in the former Soviet Union.  Now, if they can just reclassify vodka that’s still officially referred to as “The Milk of Mother Russia.”

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.
