Plenty to talk about

"...Hispanics, and all immigrants, are real Americans," according to White House political strategist Karl Rove. It seems like for once the Bush administration is taking on a progressive point of view. Rove went on to reveal that women have feelings, and that it's wrong to kick your dog. Thanks for the heads up, Karl.

Debate erupted in the Daily News newsroom this afternoon as editors, reporters, and lowly online producers alike tried to settle on the correct spelling of the slang terms "homes" and "homie." Some people, giving our youth far more credit than they deserve, held that there was a silent "l" in the word, as in Sherlock Holmes.

I happen to know for a fact that gangsters abhor silent letters, and soon set them straight. Some feelings were probably hurt, but in the end we all learned something, and that's what this whole news business is about.

I just received an invitation to go to the Bird Flu Preparedness Forum on Wednesday, July 26 in North Hollywood. Hosted by Assemblymember Paul Koretz, guests will learn about the bird flu and "Do's and Don'ts."

#1. DO stay away from dead birds.

#2 DO NOT open-mouth kiss your pet chicken. They are foul animals with loose moral fiber and low self-esteem.

Is it right to make fun of a potentially deadly epidemic? Let's put it this way: I'm more concerned about Drunk-Kid-with-Mercedes-Slamming-Into-Me Flu. How about Ungodly-High-Rent Flu? As it is I had to sublet my closet to a family of chickens to make ends meet. Oh God - I just had a startling realization.
