Officials in the Florida Keys closed schools, opened shelters and urged visitors to leave as Tropical Storm Fay threatened to strengthen into a hurricane Sunday.

But some residents and tourists seemed in no rush to evacuate.

Cheers & Jeers – Cheers: A Leachman for All Seasons

Written by on Sunday, August 17th, 2008 in Latest News.

Cheers to Cloris Leachman for burning down the house at the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget. I’m still not sure what the octogenarian Oscar winner was doing there, but she racked up larger laughs than all the younger comics on the dais combined (“I have vibrators older than most of you,” she cracked. “The difference is the vibrators still work”). Her targets included everybody from ex-costar Mary Tyler Moore (“a total slut”) to the guest of dishonor (“I’m glad I got out of sitcoms before you killed them”). And after announcing she was there to “f— John Stamos,” Leachman got a huge kiss and a goose from the roastmaster. It was the least Stamos could do, considering he’d said her “first STD was the plague.” (And those are just the jokes I could repeat!)
