I thought this article was going to be about Rosie O'Donnell.

Damn. I thought it was going to turn out to be Michael Strahan. I bet he could probably spit 'em back out with his mouth closed too.

NASA in conjunction with the Federal Government issued a warning on galactic obesity and suggested that stars refrain from gorging themselves.

Strahan probably felt like eating their kicker after Monday Night.

Are the planets low in carbs?

Famous maybe, but I wouldn't call Michael Moore a "star".

See, if a democrat had been president, I'm sure that this news would have been so disturbing that we would have passed a law aimed at preventing it and assuring that, for the sake of the children of future generations, it didn't happen again. Heck, there might even have been little frogs, fishies or bugs on any one of those poor planets; darn, there might even have been minority folks on those poor planets.

A giant star has been caught in the act of swallowing three planets, one after the other, with each "meal" accompanied by a massive eruption.

That massive eruption is called a SOLAR BURP!!

Gee, and I thought this was about Mary Carey and the California governor's race.
