And so it begins

It’s a catchy tune: Charlie Sheen, warlock, tiger blood endorser and, duh, winner, begins his 20-city tour Saturday night in Detroit, which includes a final stop here in Everett. While there are few details, rapper Snoop Dog is reportedly joining him for the Detroit show, and the national anthem will be sung by a former porn actress.

By the time he gets to Everett, Sheen will have alienated enough people that he will be joined on stage by a Roomba vacuum cleaner and a taped recording of “I’m Henery the Eighth, I Am.”

Big Sky Country meets bleary eye country: Montana lawmaker and bar owner Alan Hale, R-Olde English 800, is being criticized for a floor speech in which he said that Montana’s way of life has been “destroyed” by tougher drunken-driving laws. Previously, drivers could drink beer while driving and could tally six or seven drunken driving arrests with little consequence.

Forwarded the text of the speech, Charlie Sheen immediately added Helena, Mont., to his tour.

He’s got the hair for morning TV: Donald Trump, potential presidential candidate, celebrity pimp and the world’s richest bankruptcy filer, will join the cast of Fox’s “Fox and Friends” every Monday.

Trump agreed to the “Fox and Friends” appearances only after Sheen turned down his request to join his tour.
