While on her quest for a second-place finish on "Dancing With the Stars," Kirstie Alley reports that she lost a total of 38 inches.  Nineteen of which belonged to her and the other 19 was the height of the Leprechaun  who appeared on her dashboard whenever she was tempted to turn into a KFC parking lot.  


TV and press reporters are scrambling to keep pace with Sarah Palin's bus tour of historical tourist attractions along the eastern seaboard.  The bus tour was marred only once when, out of habit, she shot the greyhound painted on the side.


With the incidence of skin cancer on the rise, New York may pass a law prohibiting anyone under 18 from using tanning salons.  California already tried that with no success.  To get around the law, teens were landing jobs at McDonald's and lying under the French Fry warmer after closing time.


The choice of Mike Brown to replace Phil Jackson coaching the LA Lakers has fans, press and broadcasters wringing their hands.  And several days later, Shaquille O'Neil announces his retirement.  Can you say BAD TIMING?  


With the two countries' customs, lifestyles and cuisine growing more alike than ever before, it's not surprising that tourism between Australia and the U.S. is soaring.  "Down Under" is no longer just the perfect title for the Kardashians' memoirs.

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.
