JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2011

EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOW BOMBING LIBYA, ACCORDING TO THE PENTAGON, U.S. MILITARY INVOLVEMENT IS LIMITED AND HAS A DEFINITE END DATE.  DO YOU BELIEVE THAT, WE HAVE A DEFINITE END DATE?  WE STILL HAVE TROOPS IN GERMANY!  WHAT WAS THAT, 65 YEARS AGO?  PLEASE.

DO YOU REALIZE WE'RE NOW FIGHTING THREE WARS?  THREE!  IMAGINE HOW MANY IT WOULD BE IF PRESIDENT OBAMA HADN’T WON THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.  HOW MANY WOULD IT BE THEN?

THE BIGGEST CRITICISM OVER LIBYA IS THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHO'S ON CHARGE. SEE, NO MATTER WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT GEORGE BUSH, AT LEAST WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT YOU KNEW WHO WAS IN CHARGE. DICK CHENEY.  YOU KNEW THAT.

MORE SERIOUS NEWS; THE FDA IS NOW BANNING THE IMPORT OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FROM JAPAN. A BAN ON FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. THEY SAY THIS COULD EFFECT AS MANY AS THREE AMERICANS.

AND SOME BAD NEWS TODAY REGARDING SARAH PALIN’S TRIP TO THE MIDEAST.  LOOKS LIKE SHE’S GOING TO BE COMING BACK HOME.

AT&T ANNOUNCED THEY ARE BUYING T-MOBILE FOR $39 BILLION.  THEIR NEW SLOGAN WILL BE: "HELLO.  HELLO?  DAMN IT! HELLO!"

PORSCHE RECENTLY INTRODUCED THEIR NEW HYBRID MODEL, THE 918 SPORTS CAR.  IT’S A HYBRID CAR THAT COST $845-THOUSAND-DOLLARS. THEY ARE CALLING IT THE MOST EXPENSIVE WAY TO SAVE GAS EVER.

LINDSAY LOHAN'S FATHER, MICHAEL LOHAN, WAS ARRESTED YESTERDAY IN WEST HOLLYWOOD FOR ALLEGEDLY PREVENTING HIS GIRLFRIEND FROM LEAVING, AND KEEPING HER FROM CALLING 911.

I LIKE IT WHEN THE LOHAN FAMILY ALL TAKES TURNS BEING THE EMBARRASSING ONE.  LAST MONTH IT WAS LINDSAY, NOW IT’S DAD, TWO MONTHS AGO IT WAS MOM…  THEY ALL SHARE.

IF CONVICTED, MICHAEL LOHAN COULD SPEND UP TO A YEAR IN JAIL. SO IT LOOKS LIKE HE REALLY IS SERIOUS ABOUT WANTING TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH LINDSAY.

DALLAS COWBOY STAR DEZ BRYANT WAS EJECTED FROM A DALLAS SHOPPING MALL TODAY FOR WEARING HIS PANTS TOO LOW.  HE WAS DOING THAT DROOPY DRAWERS THING, AND THEY KICKED HIM OUT OF THE MALL.  HEY -- FOR AN NFL PLAYER TO BE IN A SCANDAL WITH HIS PANTS ONLY HALFWAY DOWN?  THAT IS PROGRESS.
