NEW YORK, February 18, 2009 — Best friends and collaborators for over 20 years, Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter finally have their own TV show on COMEDY CENTRAL. There’s just one problem: they are their own worst enemies. COMEDY CENTRAL has ordered seven episodes of “Michael and Michael Have Issues,” it was announced today by Lauren Corrao, president, original programming and development, COMEDY CENTRAL. The new comedy series starring Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter is scheduled to premiere in July.

Okay, so maybe it was out-and-out fraud. I had given the benefit of the doubt in that Madoff was just covering for losing money with the fraud.

“We have found no evidence to indicate that securities were purchased for customers’ accounts” for “perhaps as much as 13 years,” said Irving Picard, the trustee liquidating Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC. It was “cash in and cash out,” he said.

…
Both clerks described the weapon as a Star Trek Klingon type sword, called a “Batleth.”

The police officer in question has been suspended 28 days without pay for conduct unbecoming an officer, execessive use of force and improper procedure. He allegedly threw Mr. Walker into a vending machine when asked for his receipt and then tossed him through a glass door after another customer tried to intervene.

Why do they always go after the good ones?

The officer was previously reprimanded for using obscene language with a superior and for making “hostile gestures”. I could have used this guy when the Regal Brier Creek attendant decided to ask everyone in line for the Drivers Licenses.

‘Foul play’ suspected in Tucson Super Bowl porn feed

The pornographic content that interrupted thousands of local Comcast subscribers’ Super Bowl broadcast was the result of an “isolated malicious act,” a company spokeswoman said Monday.
But company officials have yet to determine how that act was committed, spokeswoman Kelle Maslyn said, though any sort of equipment malfunction has been ruled out.
“We did an extensive preliminary check on our technical systems, and everything appeared to be working properly when the incident occurred,” Maslyn said.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Phoenix said it is looking into the interruption, which lasted about 30 seconds, and featured full male nudity.

Yummers.
