*DESK CHAT HIGHLIGHTS*
Dave says it's been a bleak couple of days in New York City.
"I mean, it's been a lot of fun," Dave elaborates. "Don't get me wrong.
But it's also been bleak."
The good news is: something happened that has brightened Dave's day.
"About two hours ago," Dave explains. "I received some great news."
What happened?
Dave: "My son -- four years old -- today attended a birthday party at
one of his buddies'. I got the call. He won *Simon Says*." <<cheers>>
"So, no matter what happens the rest of his life," Dave says. "He will
always have this."
We take a look at an announcement regarding New York City's drinking
water. (Voiceover: "A recent investigation found that New York's water
supply contains trace amounts of at least 15 pharmaceutical drugs,
including: amoxicillin; tetracycline; and Viagra. Viagra: The fuel that
keeps the Spitzer spitzin'.")
Dave shows off Apple's new *iLighter*. (There have been recent reports
of some iPods shooting sparks while recharging. Well, this gave the
folks at Apple the idea for the iLighter. That's genius at work.) Dave:
"Listen to this. If life hands you lemons, what do you do? You make
lemonade. Now, if life hands you *gators*, what do you do? You make
*Gatorade*." Dave isn't convinced by the audience's applause.
We hear from the Vatican regarding 'new sins.' (Voiceover: "By decree of
Pope Benedict the 16th, the following shall be considered new violations
of God's law: circumventing basic rights of human nature through genetic
manipulation; the use of drugs that weaken the mind and cloud
intelligence; the imbalance between the rich and the poor; and skipping
Lobsterfest at Red Lobster. It only happens once a year. Don't miss it!
Tell 'em Benedict sent you to receive a complimentary order of garlic
shrimp scampi. This has been a Vatican Sin Update.")
And just when we thought the Eliot Spitzer scandal couldn't get any
uglier ... (Voiceover: "In their investigation of the Eliot Spitzer
scandal, law enforcement officials found that the Emperors Club escort
service called Spitzer by the code name 'Client 9.' But according to the
escorts who actually slept with him, he's more of a 'Client 4 1/2,' if
you know what I'm saying. Eliot Spitzer: America's favorite whore fiend.")
Before going to the break, we took a look at an installment of 'Great
Moments in Presidential Speeches.' We also had a TTL: 'Surprises During
Eliot Spitzer's Resignation.' Dave says you can now go to the 'Late
Show' Web site and call a special number if you think *your* governor is
having sex with a prostitute. And a little later, we were paid a visit
by Eliot Spitzer himself. He came out and he answered a few questions.
*CHARLIZE THERON*
She was quite boring. The film is "Sleepwalking."
*LEWIS BLACK*
He was OK. The show is "Root of All Evil."
*BRITISH SEA POWER*
They were quite craptacular. The album is "Do You Like Rock Music?"
*MISCELLANEOUS MEANDERING*
Did I ever tell you all about my lifelong dream to be known as 'the
Norman Fell of Catskills lounge singers?'
I gotta go.
Later ...
Brady
I was watching the show in my little studio..wandered out into the
family room during a commercial break and found Tony snoring on the
couch. He opened his eyes and I said, "Don't bother putting Dave
on...Charlize Theron has really let herself go."
Pretty sure she isn't, but these days you never know....
I think Alaska's probably off the hook too...their governor is seven months
pregnant....r

OK the Eliot Spitzer thing has jumped the shark and is now classified
as d-u-l-l.

Smokin hot dress and shoes. Picture of a goddess.
But other than that and her pretty good acting clip there wasn't much.
> *LEWIS BLACK*
> He was OK. The show is "Root of All Evil."
I thought Dave might have been glancing out to Traci in the audience
earlier in the show??
He was a bit of a stutterer which wasn't to his benefit, might have
been a bit nervous, but he made some funnies and otherwise held the
audience's attention, so it was OK.
> *BRITISH SEA POWER*
> They were quite craptacular. The album is "Do You Like Rock Music?"
My son "Johno" gave called them geeks, but then said everyone was an
ok musician except the lead singer.

Brady you are really meandering now.
Thank for the synopsis.

jokes.

You're welcome.
I care about you, the home reader.
Brady
Do you have a mini-fridge in your studio?
If I were you, I'd have a mini-fridge in there.

I like Kansas' governor.
Brady
No I couldn't see Traci, but just got the thought he might have been
glancing out at her.
Kath
I'm going to watch it again. Wednesday's at 10:30 pm, EST, COMEDY
CENTRAL.
S.
P.S. Does Traci think Dave was glancing out at her?
Traci
Bummer.
Kath
Lewis also called for a US military coup, which made it to air, on the
11:35 east coast feed, so I assume Dave must be OK with that.

Are you familiar with the term 'tongue in cheek?'
