Okay, this is fun – Tom DeLay, the House Majority Leader, is complaining that his name was used in an episode of Law & Order.
The reference was funny, and smart, and a comment on the PR trouble DeLay has had after his remarks about the judicial system during the Terri Schiavo case.
DeLay wrote to NBC complaining, and the producer/creators of the show said, basically, that they use people’s names all the time, and that’s just the way it goes.
In my favorite part of the article , though, creator/executive producer Dick Wolf added: “But I do congratulate Congressman DeLay for switching the spotlight from his own problems to an episode of a television show.”

Now that’s funny!

In other news, here’s a Tasteless Joke.

The husband had just finished reading the book, “MAN OF THE HOUSE”.

He stormed into the kitchen and walked directly up to his wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said, “From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I’m finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after dinner, you’re going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And when I’m finished with my bath, guess who’s going to dress me and comb my hair?”

His wife replied, “The fucking funeral director!”
