Larry King is leaving CNN. Over 25 years, King has conducted nearly 50,000 interviews. Amazingly, more than half of them were with his cardiologist.
50,000 interviews. Or approximately the number of times he gets up to pee during the night.
After 25 years, King wants to do what other 76-year-olds do. Forget names. Snap at waiters. Wander onto highways.
King will always be remembered for his trademark suspenders and oversized round glasses. But definitely not his good looks.
The 11 undercover Russian spies who were recently rounded up are said to have led very normal American lives. They were fat, lazy and easily amused.

Senator Robert Byrd died this weekend The 93-year-old senator was a respected voice in Congress. He was known for bringing huge amounts of federal money to West Virginia. But not a single dentist.
He was 93. Up until the end he worked a full day. All the way through dinner at 4 PM.
He was so old his first year in office was marked by high praise from everyone in the 13 colonies.

Byrd actually wasn’t the oldest living thing in Congress. Corruption, bribery and petty infighting go back even further.

The season of summer road trips is here. If your car’s on empty and there’s a long line at the gas pump, there’s good news: the line at the bottom of the Gulf is nice and short.
Simon and Garfunkel's are postponing their tour because Art Garfunkel has a condition affecting his voice. The condition is described as nobody wants to listen to it.
Many people are surprised to learn that BP isn’t the world’s largest oil producer. Twilight star Robert Pattinson’s head is.
An Oregon mom wrote an emotional letter to her missing 7-year-old son. In the letter, written for and delivered on “Good Morning America,” Desiree Young wishes to shield her son from “all of the horrible things in this world.” She could start by not subjecting him to “Good Morning America.”
North Korea’s World Cup bid ended with a humiliating 7-0 loss to Portugal. The headline in North Korea said it all: “Dear Koreans crush imperialist western giants for heroic World Cup triumph.”

Furious over government budget cuts, workers in Spain are protesting. Thousands of people marched, lit fires, blew car horns, and chanted slogans, until it was time to go home for their afternoon nap.
An army officer is being charged with divulging top-secret Army reports and giving them to wikileaks.org. This doesn’t make any sense. Leaking classified information gets you life in prison, but leaking 20,000 barrels of oil a day doesn’t?
According to the New York Times, Iran has been defying a trade sanctions by simply renaming ships, swapping in new flags, and replacing management on the ships. Sounds like a strategy BP could benefit from.

The toxic metal cadmium was discovered in a McDonald’s drinking glass. Look at the bright side. At least nobody’s finger was floating in it.
The burger chain said there was no reason to panic. If you can survive its Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, you can survive a little cadmium.
Makes you wonder which inflicts more pain: the Shrek glasses. Or the new Shrek movie?
BP said it made some progress plugging the oil leak in the Gulf. So get your oil-slickened speckled trout while they’re still in season.

Oil continues to gush into the Gulf. This will make you long for the days when mercury in your fish was the only reason to avoid it.
Oil is streaming into the Gulf at about 5,000 gallons a day. It’s a mess on par with Lawrence Taylor’s personal life.
BP’s containment dome has failed to contain the very thing it was created to contain: bad PR.
The White Pages will soon be discontinued. The inches-thick book is apparently the victim of a digital revolution, the Internet, and superior door-stops.
It’s still Mother’s Day for Kate Gosselin. She hasn’t gotten through all the cards yet.
BP is looking to use toxic chemicals to stop the Gulf oil spill. If that doesn’t do the job, they might just try tapping the chemicals in the Situation’s hair.

With Times Square narrowly avoiding a deadly car bombing, I long for the good old days. When your biggest fear was getting pickpocketed by some thugs or yelled at by a crazy, homeless, legless war vet.
The suspect, Faisal Shahzad, was seized on board an Emirates Airlines flight about to depart from JFK. The most amazing thing here isn’t the dramatic arrest. It’s that the flight was actually going to leave on time.
