Eleanor Mondale Pleased to Have Air Again

Eleanor Mondale returned to the air today. She'd been on leave since late February when doctors discovered tumors in her brain. It's Mondale's second fight with brain cancer.

Minutes before Mondale and her colleague Susie Jones were reunited on air, Mondale held up her new t-shirt. The black shirt said simply, "I'm not dead yet."

"From Susie, my co-host, isn't that funny?" explained Mondale. "As long as the ink stays on the t-shirt, I think I'll be healthy."

Monday morning, Mondale thanked listeners for their kind notes during her medical leave. She also talked with her Mayo Clinic oncologist on the air.

We're happy to hear that Mondale is back in the booth. We do find it strange, however, that she'd talk to her doctor while on the air. We hope the doctor screamed "Baba Booey" on air and quickly hung up.

Look at All the Lonely People

I've always been afraid of being buried alive, but I never thought it could happen for real. Luckily I live in America and not Chile and my relatives aren't complete morons.

Yes, some of the pool picks look like they are dead, but these people live to blow out some more birthday candles...

Saturday was somebody's birthday! Whose Birthday? Actress Jean Stapleton's Birthday. How Old Is She? 1,2,3,4... 85! And Never been Kissed By... Death

Jean Stapleton's name appears on "The South Shall Rise (from the grave) Again's" rosters

• In 1982, Jean portrayed Eleanor Roosevelt in a television production of the First Lady's later life. Critics noticed the slight physical resemblance between the two women, which worked to the program's advantage. In 1998, and for a few years afterward, Stapleton took her "Eleanor" characterization to live theaters, now adapted as a one-woman show.

She must've have been really excited to be compared to a "big lesbian mule."

Saturday was somebody else's birthday! Whose Birthday? Actor Anthony Herrera's Birthday. How Old Is He? 1,2,3,4... 64! And Never been Kissed By... Death

Anthony Herrera's name appears on "Blue's" and "Whooa-ooah Dying on the Edge's" rosters

• Herrera's character on "As the World Turns," James, has been presumed dead three times, committed several crimes and has been in prison quite a few times, only to return and wreak havoc on the town of Oakdale

Sounds like a candidate for the ANS corrolary if I've ever heard one.

Saturday was somebody's else's else's birthday! Whose Birthday? TV and Radio personality Eleanor Mondale's Birthday. How Old Is She? 1,2,3,4... 48! And Never been Kissed By... Death

Eleanor Mondale's name appears on "The Kick the Bucket List's" roster

• Mondale married and subsequently divorced former Chicago Bear Keith Van Horne.

He won a super bowl and was the second pick in the NBA draft. Why divorce a man like that?

... And Many More!
