Tues. 9/8, Wed. 9/9 Big Show Synopses

Hey, how's it goin'? Here we go ...

*DESK CHAT HIGHLIGHTS*
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is on the show. This got Dave to talking about driving on the left side of the road. In Samoa, they just switched; they went from driving on the right side of the road to driving on the left side. Dave says that'll be a particular problem for bus drivers (and their passengers).

Dave is interrupted by a guy in the audience -- a shirtless guy. The guy is confused; he thought former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was on the show tonight. Nope, it's Tony Blair. Well, the guy will just leave then. His buddies will leave as well. They're also shirtless. (When they stand up, we see that they each have a letter painted on their chests -- 'M-A-G-G-I-E.')

The Top Ten List: 'Surprises in President Barack Obama's Message to Students.'

*TONY BLAIR*
Is the world 'better off' without Saddam Hussein? That's a dumb premise. (Did Blair say the world, or region, is 'better off,' or did he say that the world is *safer*?') Nice how he brought up 9/11; how he (again) used it as a justification for preemptive war with Iraq. That's so 2003.

*JULIANNA MARGULIES*
I've always liked her. The show is "The Good Wife." It premieres Tuesday, September 22, on CBS.

*DESK CHAT HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT*
I'm just going to say that the 'Desk Chat Highlight of the Night' was the Top Ten List -- 'Questions to Ask Yourself Before Eating Fried Butter.'

There was some other stuff as well.

*JAY-Z*
His newest album is "The Blueprint 3."

*MARTHA STEWART*
It was good to see her. They made hamburgers.

*GEORGE JONES*
'The Essential George Jones' will be released on September 22nd.

*MISCELLANEOUS MEANDERING*
What's happenin', people? Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday. I had some cake -- chocolate. I did not have pie.

Later ...

Brady
