Not to state the painfully obvious, but if they’d just gone with “Blue Cheese,” they would have avoided all this controversy.

My mom discussing Tobey's limitations
“He’s very brave. He isn’t afraid of dogs or people. Just balloons.”
This morning's segment
What I learned this morning? Those product display tables are pretty light/flimsy. If you watch closely you can see where I nearly pushed the thing over because I am very graceful.
Hey look, it's me… again!
There’s a lot of me on TV Saturday night/Sunday morning, in fact I feel slightly obnoxious pointing it out, which is weird because I’m all about talking about myself. I feel it’s my duty. Plus, I enjoy it. So I don’t really know what this sudden bashfulness is, but I know it feels foreign and I don’t like it one bit. Shall my horn go untooted? I think not.
Now, to the TV:
I’m on Chelsea Lately at 11:30pm and 2:30am on E!
Red Eye at 2am ET/11pm PT on Fox News Channel
Weekend Today in New York at 7:40am on channel 4 (WNBC-TV)
Chelsea Lately and Red Eye are repeats, but maybe I’ll say something different this time.
Tobey and his toys
This is how I found Tobey’s water dish and his toy. It’s probably random, but I would love to believe he placed it in this position deliberately. A dog with a refined sense of cute… would be very cute!
See me on TV Sunday morning!
Remember when I used to do the Best Bets segment on Weekend Today in New York every Saturday morning? You don’t? Because you were asleep at 6:45am? Well I daresay you were missing out, because not only was I able to form whole sentences at that hour, but… actually, that was the main thing. Whole sentences! Also: info! Also: sometimes I told stories about my friend Anthony who refers to tap dancing as “The Headache Dance.”
Well this Sunday I will be back in studio 6A (6B? 15G? 12&?) to do a segment for Page Six Magazine so cancel your Saturday evening plans so you can get up early on Sunday (ch. 4 in the 7am hour) and watch!
more cartoons
Tuesday night on Red Eye, Andy asked me if I’d drawn any more New Yorker cartoons in my head, which I so had, and I mentioned the one where a hunk of cheese is telling an obscene joke and the caption is “Blue Cheese.” Well Activity Pit member “Shamrock Republic” has once again made manifest my thoughts, which is awesome. You see, when it comes to all things doodley, I am merely an idea person. I leave the heavy lifting to the Irish.
Also, today I had a delightful lunch with someone who doesn’t think Lisa should win Next Food Network Star because he thinks she’s crazy. I nodded as if I, too, think she’s a wackadoo and yet, deep down, I don’t. I’m sorry, Lisa, I sold you down the river and the sad thing is that I don’t even know why. You deserved better, especially after Jenn broke the apricot sauce jar and got glass in your duck confit.
this is happening right now
I am in a cab and the cab driver is burping something fierce. Like a continual string of low growly ones. Seriously, sir, what are we dealing with? Is this GERD? Did you drink a small lagoon of pepsi? Is there a tiger in here? Okay, now you are hacking something up and kind of sniffling. Is this consumption? It strikes as consumptive. Okay, the burps have changed pitch. More hollow sounding. I may throw up, you know, just cuz!

At the hotel
The hotel my parents are staying at is crawling with cops. They're stationed around the perimeter and on the corners a few blocks in each direction. I realize I'm popular with the men in blue, but this is a little much, even for me.
Well I just found out they're here because Obama and Clinton are also here! As a member of the press I feel it's my duty to watch tv while telling you about this. My parents are currently walking Tobey with hopes of getting a glimpse of something or other. I suspect they will be getting a glimpse of… more cops.
