If anything like this happens to any food I'm eating during my next couple weeks off, I will be really...well...PI$$ED! ;D
All right, let's glum up for just a bit. RIP Karl Malden...
I know I'm supposed to be paying tribute to Karl Malden here; he did win Best Supporting Actor for his role in Streetcar. But Marlon Brando back then was just... {insert wanton groan here}... ;D
On July 2, 1937, aviator Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to make the first round-the-world flight at the equator. Yea, maybe they should've double - checked they knew how to operate the radio properly & checked the 'ol gas tank - just sayin'...
Let's Countdown.
Mucho appreciado to David Shuster for pinch – hitting again tonight!
#5 "The Jackson Tape" - Rehearsal video recorded just 48 hours before Michael Jackson’s death has been released. The company that released the video, AEG, probably wanted to respond to rumors that Michael didn’t really want to go on the tour. There will be a public memorial service at the Staples Center Tuesday morning L.A. time. Wow, look at him. Man, that man could move. There’s Gerald Posner, the boil on the butt of humanity floating the rumor that Michael was trying to make himself sick to not go on the tour. As I said last night, that’s a damn classy move for the family to witness a week after Michael’s death. Now, it seems that Mr. Posner’s changing his tune a little; Michael only wanted, allegedly, to do 10 shows – not 50. Whatever...Posner’s a jerk. Ya’ know, maybe his family just doesn’t want a bunch of strangers – possibly freaky out of control strangers – gawking at their dead son/brother/father. I’ve already left instructions for no visitations or whatever after I’m gone; I don’t need anyone gawking at me, either, and they’re damn painful for the survivors. Debbie Rowe wants the kids back – after giving up parental rights TWICE. Apparently, she’s not crazy about Joe Jackson, either, because she might be seeking a restraining order against him keeping him away from the kids. All this is just getting sadder & more FUBARed by the day; this is not the way to remember such a gifted performer. The kids need their own lawyers?! Good grief...
#4 "Alaskan Independence Problem" AKA "Not Quiet on the Arctic Front" - There is ever – mounting email evidence that Grandma Gov. TurkeyLover did not work or play well with Senator McCentury’s peeps during the campaign. NO!! She fibbed about the wing – nutty aspects of the First Dude’s personality & political leanings. Steve Schmidt really let her have it! And, of course, she would have none of it. THERE’S MY RICHARD WOLFFE!!!! BABY, WHERE YA’ BEEN – PLUGGING A BOOK OR SOMETHING?! I got my "eye candy"; I got my "eye candy", I GOT MY "EYE CANDY"! Oh, can we please see more of those emails? That would make me smile, smile, SMILE!
** A smart car on Danish TV backed itself out of its trailer. Look at the koala bears! TEH CUTE! President Obama is getting ready for his script for his "Hall of Presidents" gig. A football player in the CFL played tribute to MJ by laying down in the end zone after a touchdown. Lovely... **
#3 "Secret Vice" AKA "DICKtation" - The Obama DOJ is protecting DICK. BOO!!!!!!! They don’t want to release notes of his FBI interview regarding Valerie Plame because they think this action will set a precedent that’ll prevent future White House officials from talking without a subpoena. WEAK!!!!!!!!!! President Obama’s transparency – at least in this area – ain’t so transparent. I wonder what ‘ol Scooter’s doing these days? Now, the CIA IG report is being delayed for 2 months. We...will...never...see...that...report.
#2 "Let Them Eat Cake" - Stephen Colbert is sharing his take on Rep. Cynthia Davis. Uh David, you know that Colbert is just acting, yes? Oh, wonderful take on the Book of Matthew! Mr. Colbert is a practicing Catholic, ya’ know; he actually KNOWS his Bible.
#1 "The Jackson Tape Part Deux" AKA "Final Act" - There’s video of rehearsal the day before Michael died, too. There are an awful lot of people trying to gain fame & money because Michael Jackson died; it’s pretty sick, if you ask me.
