JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE  HIGHLIGHTS  MONDAY, MARCH 28, 2011

EARLIER TONIGHT PRESIDENT OBAMA ADDRESSED THE NATION ON LIBYA.  HE FINALLY SPOKE OUT ABOUT IT.  THIS CHANGES HIS PREVIOUS POLICY ON LIBYA; WHICH WAS, “DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL.”

SURE. NOW HE HAS TIME TO TALK ABOUT LIBYA. NOW THAT ALL OF HIS FINAL FOUR PICKS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED.

OBAMA'S BRACKET WAS BUSTED.  NONE OF HIS PICKS ARE GOING TO THE FINAL FOUR. THE ONE TIME HE TAKES QUICK, DECISIVE ACTION AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENS.

ACTUALLY, OBAMA HAD THE JAYHAWKS WINNING IT ALL.  WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KANSAS? DOROTHY PUT UP A BETTER FIGHT AGAINST THE TORNADO.  WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

BE HONEST, HOW MANY THOUGHT KADAFI WOULD BE ELIMINATED BEFORE KANSAS.

I LOVE THIS PART; INSTEAD OF CALLING OUR MISSION IN LIBYA A WAR, THE WHITE HOUSE IS CALLING IT A "KINETIC MILITARY ACTION":  WHICH SOUNDS BETTER THAN "POTENTIAL ENDLESS QUAGMIRE."

HERE’S A STORY ON THE NEWS TODAY.  THIS JUST HAS PEOPLE OUTRAGED.  A CLOTHING COMPANY IS SELLING PUSH-UP BIKINI TOPS FOR 7-YEAR-OLD GIRLS.  DID YOU HEAR THIS STORY?  THEY'RE BEING SOLD AT PEDOPHILE & FITCH.  IS IT PEDOPHILE & FITCH?  ABERCROMBIE!

PUSH-UP BIKINI TOPS FOR 7-YEAR-OLD GIRLS.  EVEN ROMAN POLANSKI IS GOING, "THAT'S WRONG!" 

IN THE WAKE OF RECORD LOSSES, THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE ANNOUNCED IT IS CUTTING 7,500 JOBS.  BUT TODAY A SPOKESMAN FOR THE POST OFFICE SAID THOSE POSITIONS COULD BE RESTORED IF THIS WHOLE EMAIL THING TURNS OUT TO BE NOTHING BUT A FAD.

THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS HAS WARNED ABOUT A NEW CONDITION THEY CALL "FACEBOOK DEPRESSION".  THEY SAY KIDS WHO ARE DEPRESSED CAN BECOME EVEN MORE DEPRESSED WHEN THEY SEE EVERYONE ELSE HAVING FUN ON FACEBOOK. YOU KNOW WHO HAS A REALLY BAD CASE OF FACEBOOK DEPRESSION?  THE CEO OF MYSPACE.  VERY BAD.  TERMINAL.

A WOMAN SWIMMING IN CANCUN, MEXICO IS OKAY AFTER BECOMING THE SECOND PERSON BITTEN BY A SHARK THERE THIS YEAR.  EXPERTS SAY THE SHARK MAY HAVE MISTAKEN THE WOMAN FOR A SEA COW OR A WALRUS. YOU KNOW, HASN’T THIS WOMAN HAD A BAD ENOUGH DAY?  YOU COME OUT BLEEDING AND YOUR HUSBAND GOES, “YOU KNOW HONEY, I BET HE THOUGHT YOU WERE A SEA COW.”

A MAN IN OHIO HAS RECEIVED A BILL FROM HIS CABLE COMPANY FOR 16 MILLION DOLLARS.  THAT'S WHEN YOU KNOW IT’S TIME TO CUT DOWN ON THE ADULT CHANNELS.  THAT WHEN YOU KNOW YOU’RE WATCHING WAY TOO MUCH PORN.  THAT GUYS KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT…

SOME SAD NEWS, THE INVENTOR OF SUPER GLUE HAS PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 94. THE SERVICE WILL BE CLOSED CASKET, UNLESS THEY CAN SOMEHOW PRY IT OPEN.

SOME HAPPY NEWS-NEW YORK GIANTS QUARTERBACK ELI MANNING AND HIS WIFE HAD THEIR FIRST BABY.  BABY GIRL.  CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM.  ELI PASSED OUT TEN CIGARS AND THREE WERE INTERCEPTED.  SO THAT’S GOOD.

LIKE "CHER" AND "MADONNA", LINDSAY LOHAN HAS ANNOUNCED SHE IS NOW GOING BY JUST ONE NAME . . . "DEFENDANT."
