"It's like waiting for the next Grey's Anatomy!"

"Look, covering the White House, there's so little that's actually kept secret. I'm actually enjoying this. It's like waiting each week for the new episode of Grey's Anatomy to see what happens." Ann Compton may be the only one who's enjoying the wait for Barack Obama to announce his running mate. Grant and Amanda talked with Ann from Chicago where she's following the Obama campaign.

The next time your favorite joke lays an egg, you might want to quit while you're ahead. Research by a Washington State University linguist found that people who tell bad jokes often endure an astonishing outpouring of hostility from those who have to put up with those jokes, including profanity, a nasty glare or even a solid punch to the arm. First, jokes often disrupt the natural flow of conversation. (Amanda has been telling Grant this for years.) And a stupid joke insults the listener by suggesting that he or she might actually find it funny. The closer you are in age to the joke-teller, the more likely you are to object. And the toughest responses come from people who know the joke teller well. That's why children are especially hostile to failed humor by their parents. And that's no joke.

The questions haven't gone away, but the International Olympic Committee says there is still no proof that several members of the Chinese gymnastics team are underage. Gymnasts must turn 16 at some point during the Olympic year in order to be eligible. Earlier this month, The Associated Press found registration lists previously posted on the Web site of the General Administration of Sport of China that showed two gymnasts were too young to compete. China has again given the governing body of gymnastics documents that show its athletes are eligible, and coach Lu Shanzhen said the girls' families are "indignant" that the issue won't go away. If it turns out the Chinese cheated, a team gold medal and individual gold and bronze medals would be forfeited.
