New Rules for 2007
Alan tells us that George Carlin mentions George Michael in one of his
new rules for 2007.
New Rule: And this one is long overdue: No more bathroom
attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I
just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be
there, or just some freak with a fetish. I don't want to be on your web
cam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.

George Michael Pleads Not Guilty to Charges
George Michael Pleads Not Guilty to Charges:
George Michael pleaded innocent Wednesday to charges of being unfit to drive and possessing
marijuana.
The 43-year-old singer was arrested Sept. 30 after police responded to
complaints that a car was blocking an intersection in north London. Police said
Michael was found passed out inside the car.
Michael, who was referred to by his birth name, George Panayiotou, wasn't in
court, and the pleas were entered by his attorney, Keima Payton.
Judge Katherine Marshall provisionally set a trial date for April 23, but
Payton said blood samples taken on the night of his arrest weren't legal,
meaning the trial should be scrapped.
"Are you saying prosecution should not take place because it is unfair?"
Marshall asked.
"Indeed," Payton said.
Arguments were set for March 7 to discuss whether the blood sample taken from
Michael was inadmissible. The judge excused Michael's attendance for that
hearing, too.
