In the News

Big deal about TV, same lousy programs, new format, I guess. I must admit I never really understood what was going to happen. Rather like ............ 1999 to 2000 ... as Hitchcock said, "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it."
He also said, "Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime." So much for the analog to digital conversion.

Poor Michael Vick, not too long ago he signed for $130 million for eight years, now he is bankrupt .... has three or so houses, one for 3.2 million hasn't sold, he has three cars, I think he owes on them ............. the American Dream. If some team picks him up, and pay him for being STUPID, one of his two talents, he may make it. I wonder what team will pick him up ..... he can carry a football, someone will overlook his other "problems" and give him a chance, if he gets reinstated. Something American about wearing an "ankle bracelet" in your 3.2 million dollar house.

Imus made a stupid comment about a girls basketball team .... Letterman commented on a young girl getting "knocked up." Letterman passes it off as a joke, "do I look like the kind of guy that would mean anything by that?" Imus is drummed off the airways for quite a while.

I wonder what would have been the consequences of the statement if it had been made about a well known Democratic politician, or one of Pelosi's daughters, I think she has three or four. Actually, why didn't Pelosi come out and criticize him for doing it, or some of the WOMEN'S RIGHTS GROUPS that are so vocal at times.

Maybe it was just because it happened to Palin's daughter .... the press is OK with that.

If you have an upset stomach, eaten too much, or maybe the wrong thing, and you want to "get rid" of it ............ just think about POLITICS ..... and you will get sick, throw up, and feel better.

Or watch "Celebrity Cribs," it will do the same thing ............
