Kermit and Miss Piggy breaking up. Sesame Street going to HBO. What's next? I'm half-expecting Oscar the Grouch to make a movie, "Straight out of Compacter!"
An airport in Orlando will open a $250,000 Muslim prayer room. I'm sure it's near the Christian prayer room and the Jewish prayer room.

After 63 years, the Washington Generals have been dropped by the Harlem Globetrotters. You can say "What a bunch of losers", but that was their job!
Seen on Facebook: "They should announce a sequel to Groundhog's Day and just re-release the original."
The Secret Service says it is going to hire 1,100 new agents. Well, that secret's out...
Disney says that Woody will find love in "Toy Story 4." So, you're saying Woody will get a... uh, girlfriend?

Fidel Castro says the U.S. owes Cuba "many millions of dollars" for the decades-long embargo. The grocery clerk he told that to said, "Whatever... "
The radio station keeps saying "traffic and weather every 10 minutes." Do they really think I'm that forgetful?

Washington Redskins quarterback RG III says he feels he is the best quarterback in the league. And that may be true, as long as you don't include winning games in the formula.
San Antonio says they are willing to host the Raiders on a temporary basis while they are figuring out where they will move, because San Antonio doesn't have a professional football team. Then again, neither does Oakland...
On Facebook, there was a quote where they were saying that they "disconnected their home security system and put up an ISIS flag up front. Now, the local police, sheriff, FBI, NSA, the CIA and Homeland Security are all watching the home 24/7. I've never felt safer and I'm saving $49.95 a month!"
