The E-Coli bacteria quietly lives in the intestines of humans and animals and with great regularity seems to flair up. It can be found in a whole host of foods and cause severe illness in thousands of people if those foods are not properly washed and handled.
I don't know how to break this to you E-coli but, you're not well-liked. You're the Bush Administration of the bacteria world. The two of you have a lot in common -- you're both sneaky and deadly. The only difference is you definitely have an exit strategy.
The Irish. Freud said the Irish are impervious to psychotherapy. But he didn't say they're impervious to makeovers. In this piece, I am going to make over not just the Irish people, or Irish culture, but also Ireland itself.
Ireland, you've given us so many wonderful Irish phrases, like "Kiss Me, I'm Irish," "Top o' the mornin' to ya" and "Aagh! It's a car bomb."
You're the land of alcohol and hard-to-read novels. You're like an entire nation built on my sophomore year in college.
President Bush has one of the lowest approval ratings in history. There's not much I can do to improve his image, but Bush's grim reality brings to mind that there are many Presidents throughout history with low approval ratings and I thought I'd make over the images of some of those Chief Executives.
Take Thomas Jefferson, now Mr. Jefferson, your image as a brilliant founding father has been tarnished for having sex with women you owned. Today women run FOR President whereas in your day they ran FROM one.
We can spin this positive, you weren't a misogynist ... you were a TRUE pioneer by starring in the very first dramedy, called "Desperate House Slaves."
Let me start by saying personally, I enjoy global warming. It's hot, controversial, it's in a movie - it's the Jenna Jameson of environmental catastrophes.
Scientists say global warming will hurt the food supply. I don't see how - all our food will be pre-cooked. We'll pick baked apples off the tree; live turkeys will baste in their own juices. Things will be grilled right ON George Foreman.

Have a listen to my take on the whole Roger Clemens steroid controversy from Friday, Jan. 11's Bob & Tom Radio Show.
I was on The Bob & Tom Radio Show on Tuesday talking about Consumer Man, my story from The New York Times Magazine. The gang had a laugh at the whole bag conspiracy and about my run in with the newspaper stand attendant. After the article came out, I went back to the same guy and bought the NY Times from him and showed him the article. First he wanted to know if his name was mentioned, then I think he thought it was pretty funny (or at least pretended)!
I've been getting great feedback from fans about the story and I've posted all your emails and comments on the Lip Service page. Thanks for writing! Be sure to listen for an update on the saga. - Paul
I was on The Bob & Tom Radio Show on Thursday hanging out with the gang. It was a lot of fun. Have a listen! And be sure to check out my new video! I did a show at the now-infamous Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC the other day and I decided to go on a tour of former Governor Eliot Spitzer's stomping ground. This is the place where he met up with his prize hooker. Check it out HERE! - Paul



Last week, I was on Sirius Radio's Speak Now hanging out with the gang. It was a lot of fun. Have a listen! - Paul
