Ok, so when I saw this clip at first glance I was thinking, “Oh, another silly late night talk show bit by the ever funny Jimmy Fallon.”
But the 8 minute length gave me pause. “Randy” I said to myself, “Randy Report readers won’t hang out for that long to get to the funniness.”
But let me tell you all – would I steer you wrong? Hang out and watch as it gets funnier. The last song made me laugh.
And by the way, John Krasinski is ROCKING the beard thing in my opinion…
Thoughts?

Strange kind of “talk show” that transforms into a music video celebrating straight spring break madness and James Franco marrying several men…
I think you just have to take a look.

Check out the video of Rush Limbaugh finding that ever elusive connection between the Cleveland kidnapping victims and President Obama.
From MSNBC:
Turns out a certain episode of the CBS series Hawaii Five-O got Rush Limbaugh thinking about a political spin to the Cleveland kidnappings. What if the suspects carried out the kidnappings in order to qualify for welfare benefits and tax exemptions, as was the case in the television show?
“Now I don’t know what happened in Cleveland, but I couldn’t help but make the connection,” Limbaugh explained.
“Three brothers, but not related the three women, have been arrested in Cleveland,” he continued before dropping the possibility that they voted for President Obama. The city, he pointed out, voted for Obama.
Limbaugh admits that he doesn’t have the facts on the case before launching into the explanation that the abductions are somehow related to welfare benefits and sarcastically suggesting that the suspects are likely Obama voters. He pointed out one of the victim’s had a baby.
“Double welfare benefits if one of the women has a baby,” Limbaugh declared.
What is there to say? Hit the video as Nick Lachey squirms a bit before admitting the best thing about not being married to Jessica Simpson…
Kind of unexpected answer. Can’t tell if it’s a reference to the “Joe Simpson in the closet” rumors…
100 Pennsylvania lawmakers have introduced legislation in Harrisburg that would offer wide reaching protections to LGBT citizens in the state.
PGH City Paper reports:
A broad group of state lawmakers today introduced bills HB 300/SB300, which would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or expression statewide in employment, housing, credit and public accommodations. And they cited a record high level of support for the measures.
“These identical proposals have a common goal — to end, once and for all, the last vestige of legal discrimination in Pennsylvania based on an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity or expression,” said state Rep. Dan Frankel (D-Squirrel Hill), a co-sponsor of HB300 with Republican state Rep. Chris Ross, and sponsor of the bill in previous years.
Frankel noted that its the first time the bills have had such broad, bipartisan support, with 77 sponsors in the House and 25 in the Senate.
Pennsylvania’s first openly gay elected lawmaker Brian Sims spoke at the introduction. Check out the video statement above.

On one hand, you have to give a little credit to “sticking with it” I guess.
On the other hand? Well, on the other hand, after 12 months of the National Organization for Marriage’s “boycott” of Starbucks the company’s stock is at a 12 month high.
Oh – and congrats on Delaware, too, NOM – great work. See you in Minnesota.
