Reflecting on what America’s been talking about the last 7 days.

Wal-Mart to start selling caskets - They're located right next to the Twinkies and pork rinds.

Michael Jackson's "This is It" movie in limited runs in theatres - And this really IS it.  That is, after the DVD sales and 4,000 replays on VH1 over the next 20 years.

The World Series begins - I am predicting the Yankees or Phillies to win in 4, 5, 6 or 7.

Oprah helps make Hello Skinny Jeans popular - Levi's plans similar success with their Goodbye Fatso jeans.

McDonald's Monopoly is back - One Iowa couple eating tons of fries in effort to get winning "Boardwalk" piece.  If they win the $1 million, they're buying a fourth chin.

Taylor Swift dating Taylor Lautner - Couldn't resist competing with "Brangelina" for cutest celebri-couple name, "Swiner".

"Paranormal Activity" scares up big box office - I don't even really care, I just really wanted to use a bad pun.

David Spade criticized for appearing in DirecTV ad with deceased friend Chris Farley - Spade's response: "The reason I did this is I wanted to remind the world how funny Chris was.  Oh, and the money."
