Bikini Clad Britney Spears on Letterman

Funny or pathetic attempt at staying in the spotlight? You decide.

Palin vs. Letterman

Have you been following the Sarah Palin, David Letterman saga? It's gone on a lot longer than Dave expected.

Last night Dave took a second shot at an apology. This time, he has all the information.

In brief, Sarah Palin was at a Yankees game in NYC. Dave said something like during the 7th inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez. Dave swears he was talking about Palin's 18 year old daughter, Bristol. Turns out the 14 year old was with Palin at the game. Here is his first apology.

There is a group leading the charge to fire Letterman called firedavidletterman.com. CBS recently resigned Letterman to a new contract. Is Dave's apology too little too late?

The Happiest Place on Earth

No, not Disney World. Bhutan.

A few nights ago, I caught Michael J. Fox on David Letterman plugging his new book, Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist.

Fox found an entire country of optimists in Bhutan where he says leaders are not just judged on the GDP (Gross National Product) but also the GNH (Gross National Happiness.) Fox went on to say leaders make decisions to ensure the happiness of the country.



On the whole, Fox says the Bhutanese seem pretty happy.



I wonder if there is a GNH index. How do we know people are happy?
