No such thing as bad publicity, and as long as they spell your name right, etc…I received a comment on my GreaterFalls.com site the other day from the morning DJ on a local station; he wants to do an interview about the site. And one of the local news anchors e-mailed me about […]

So AdJab (a very enjoyable site) has an entry up today about that delightful TV ad for Rozerem, which is a sleep aid. You know, the one with Abe Lincoln, a beaver, and a deep-sea diver. I absolutely hate stupid commercials and will go out of my way to not watch them, […]

Yes, we all know that last Friday marked the 40th anniversary of the first broadcast episode of “Star Trek” - and I’m a huge Trek fan. Mostly TOS and TNG, but the whole enterprise (!) is great overall. But in all the excitement and hoopla over Trek, let’s not forget a significant milestone […]

While this news article about higher gas prices is certainly topical and designed to anger people, I’m not at all concerned about paying $3.21 per gallon. No, what angered me is the use of the term “pocketbook.” That term is used quite often in the news media, primarily when discussing fuel prices and […]

BUMP: I remain absolutely amazed at the amount of traffic that I get from people looking for Sabine Ehrenfeld. She is to my site what Jill Wagner is to Costa’s Population Statistic.
UPDATE: thanks to YouTube, you can now see one of Sabine’s commercials anytime!
Very pretty lady in the Overstock.com advertisements; I don’t […]

Looks like someone went and made a list of the 50 Best Sidekicks, with names such as Ed McMahon, Pedro Sanchez, and Art Garfunkel. Worthy names, to be sure. The EW site is too crappy for me to navigate through the entire list of 50, so I can’t be certain whether they included […]

1. I am a news junkie. I love watching news. I always have, going back to the mid-80s when CNN was the only option, and then growing to love CNN Headline News (which sucks now, but that’s another story). I […]

First of all, who knew that Isaac Hayes was a Scientologist? Second of all, how on earth does Hayes decide that NOW is the time to bail out on the show, giving up his role as the wise, soulful Chef? After how many years of no-sacred-cows, no-holds-barred, potty-mouthed humor? Hm…I guess that […]

When I linked the humorous (and blasphemous!) video titled “The Passion Of The Benny Hill,” one of my readers wondered if I would also post anything about the “anti-muslim” cartoons that have triggered violence. The commenter, Frosty Nuggets, seems to believe that I have an anti-christian bias, when in fact I am biased against […]

As Tammy Bruce points out, there is an awful lot of real news going on in the world…how on earth the media (nets AND cable newsers) think that the Cheney story qualifies as somehow being more important, relevant, or interesting than the REAL news absolutely baffles me. Sure, I know the adage about “if […]

Regarding the Mayor Nagin idiocy, here’s another angle that I hadn’t considered, but which does indeed seem spot-on: when Pat Robertson went bat-crap loony with his “God’s vengeance” spiel a couple of weeks ago in reference to Ariel Sharon’s health, the media went into overdrive, beating itself into a righteous, frothy lather, trashing […]

I read the transcript a few days ago, and I finally got around to watching the 11-minute clip of Bill O’Reilly on David Letterman’s show from a couple of weeks ago. I think Letterman is one of the funniest guys in TV history, and he’s definitely an intelligent fellow. He’s also a part-time […]
