I can’t repel the high pitched sales pitch of the mighty Billy Mays
and to think - now I can repair that damaged parachute that was just gathering dust in the closet.

The GOP’s divisiveness as so sad it’s hilarious. The Daily Show says it best:
Small town values - hah! What a laugh.

with Rachel Maddow. No, not just because she’s hot in a “Bull Dyke” sorta way (her words, not mine). No, because of interviews like this:
Not only is she a progressive cable news talk show host with roots in Air America. Not only is her list of academic achievements longer than Britney Spears’ medical file. No - she is also secure enough in her beliefs to invite her idealogical opposites on and, when pressed by them trying to take a dig or blast through their talking points she is able to engage in robust debate without trying to outtalk them or scream over them. That’s hot.
Did you see David Frum (conservative columnist who said McCain’s campaign is toast and all but conceded the race) trying to blame her for the lack of serious political discourse on important issues? I sure hope he does that on every other network and cable news show that booked him. You know - the ones that show SNL clips or have talking-point-armed parrots on or even someone like Jeanne Moos tracking down Obama Girl
Jeanne Moos tracking down Obama Girl.
IMO Rachel does better than Olbermann (who brings on a bunch of like minded people to just reinforce his points) and Hardball (because he’s just screaming) and especially better than anything on Fox. Plus anyone who can visibly enjoy debating Pat Buchanan is ok in my book.
Long Live Maddow.

I managed to record and watch VH1’s Top 100 Hip Hop Songs ever today. It was OK aside from the fact that (except for Run DMC) they only had one song per artist, and in some cases (Ladies First for Queen Latifah instead of U.N.I.T.Y, Colors for Ice T instead of New Jack Hustler, Stan for Eminem instead of anything else) the wrong song IMO. Anyways one gem I found out in the Where Are They Now segment for Coolio is that he has an online cooking show! Really!
Quite Frankly, this is the stupidest (and most unexpected) thing I’ve ever seen. EVER! Which is why it’s so hilarious!!

Much thanks to Myk for inspiring this blog from his National Favorite 80 Movie’s Theme song Day entry. Not being a big movie guy - especially from the 80’s - the first thing I thought of was that very special episode of Family Ties - no not the one where a drunk Tom Hanks plays the 12-step uncle or when Mallory crams for a test and starts repeating Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Aparatus or even the one where Alex bags his interview to Princeton to console his sister after she found her away-at-college boyfriend was 2 timing her. Yes I watched that show a lot.
No, I’m talking about the Alex-and-his-girlfriend Ellen Reed break up then make up episode where all you heard playing was this song:
The episodes are all on youtube - great stuff. But while bumping around on the interwebs looking for it, I came across this review of said tender moment:
p.s. - the love interest in that episode, Tracy Pollan, became his wife in 1988 and they’ve been married ever since - a hollywood rarity.
p.p.s. - did you know
heather graham was on scrabble?

2 minutes to go, 13 point lead, 4th and 5 at the 20 and the jets line up in shotgun and go for the endzone, score a TD, then go for 2.
And the best part - fucking FOX doesn’t switch to the Cowboys Redskins game at 4:15 like they’re supposed to for teams playing out of market.
This whole league is in the tank for a low class punk and I can’t take it anymore.
