JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS FRIDAY, JULY 20, 2012

BEFORE WE BEGIN TONIGHT…WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT IN COLORADO, I THINK IS ON EVERYBODY’S MIND, OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF THOSE…  BUT WHAT WE TRY TO DO HERE EVERY NIGHT IS TO END YOUR DAY WITH A SMILE…  WHEN THE WORLD IS VERY SERIOUS WE HAVE TO COME OUT HERE AND BE SILLY AND JUST TRY TO CHEER PEOPLE UP A LITTLE BIT.  SO WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ARE AWARE OF WHAT’S GOING ON AND WE ARE JUST GOING TO TRY AND MAKE YOU SMILE A LITTLE BIT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED.

LETS START WITH SOMETHING SILLY; HERE WE GO…  THE OWNER OF A TURTLE FARM IN SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA REPORTS THAT 1600 TURTLES HAVE ESCAPED THROUGH A HOLE IN THE FENCE.  IT HAPPENED ABOUT A MONTH AGO; THEY NOW THINK MANY OF THESE TURTLES COULD BE AS FAR AS FIFTEEN FEET AWAY.  SOME COULD BE OVER THERE…

PRESIDENT OBAMA IS COMING UNDER CRITICISM NOW FOR NOT MEETING WITH HIS JOBS COUNCIL.  HE HASN’T MEET WITH HIS JOBS COUNCIL IN OVER SIX MONTHS?  YOU KNOW THE REASON OBAMA HASN’T MET WITH HIS JOB COUNCIL IN SIX MONTHS?  THEY’RE ALL OUT LOOKING FOR JOBS.  THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO FIND A JOB.

THE APARTMENT PRESIDENT OBAMA USED TO LIVE IN WHEN HE WAS A COLLEGE STUDENT IS NOW UP FOR RENT.  IT’S $2400 A MONTH, WHICH IS A BARGAIN WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW MUCH MONEY MITT ROMNEY IS SPENDING TO TRY AND MOVE INTO WHERE OBAMA IS LIVING NOW.  HE’S SPENDING A LOT OF DOUGH.

I MENTIONED THIS LAST NIGHT; A NEW STUDY SAYS THAT WOMEN'S I.Q. HAS NOW SURPASSED MEN.  TO BE FAIR, THAT WAS DONE BEFORE THE RECENT COMMENTS BY MICHELE BACHMANN.  SO GUYS, WE ARE GOING TO WIN THE NEXT ROUND.  WE ARE GOING TO WIN THE NEXT ROUND.

CONGRESSWOMAN MICHELE BACHMANN WANTS AN INVESTIGATION AS TO WHETHER ISLAMISTS HAVE INFILTRATED THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.  YOU KNOW WHAT’S REALLY FRIGHTENING?  AFTER LISTENING TO MICHELE BACHMANN, YOU REALIZE IDIOTS HAVE INFILTRATED THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA HAVE ANNOUNCED THEY ARE UPHOLDING THEIR BAN ON GAY MEMBERS.  THE BOY SCOUTS ARE SO SERIOUS ABOUT THIS GAY BAN, YOU’RE NOW ONLY ALLOWED TO PITCH A TENT IF A GIRL IS NEARBY.
