NCIS: Gilligan's Island

Inside sources are telling me that CBS is adding to it's multi-platform NCIS franchise. NCIS: Gilligan's Island is currently being cast. Eric Stonestreet is regarded as the favorite for the lead role of Chief Investigator Thurston Howell V. Other names mentioned are The Rock, Vern Troyer and that "You can call me Ray, you can call me Jay" guy who, despite what you thought, is still alive.
The producers are denying that the role of Goth/Nerd forensics gal has been offered to Lisa Minelli. Queen Latifa, J Lo, J Law, or Kim Kardashian's cloths-wearing sister are more likely to win the role.
Old Wise Doctor will be played by Mr. Barbra Streisand James Brolin, who got his TV medical license on Marcus Welby M.D.
Filming is scheduled to begin April 31, next year.

What's The Problem In Kansas?

When commenting on the State of Kansas’ budget shortfall, House Speaker Ray Merrick is quoted as saying, “We do not have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem." In Mr. Merrick’s mind the fact that you, as a Kansas citizen, want drivable highways, is a problem. The fact that you want restaurants inspected before you contract e-coli is a problem. The fact that you would like BTK and the Carr brothers to remain incarcerated is a problem. What is definitely not a problem, in his view, is the fact that owners of “S” Corporations have been excused from paying state income taxes. The Speaker believes that it is not a problem that the employees of those corporations, and all the other workers, are expected to pick up the revenue shortage.
Governor Brownback and his GOP minions will have a difficult time solving the state’s financial mess because they are incapable of recognizing that the actual problem is Governor Brownback and his GOP minions.


Note: The photograph does not depict Mr. Brownback or Mr. Merrick, it is just a generic guy failing to recognize problems.
