Let's Make A Dizzy Deal!!!

Before Deal or No Deal, there was TV's original pick and choose game show, Let's Make A Deal.
For those of you who don't remember it, there were ways to win prizes and cash, but the "Big Deal" of the day involved three doors. You chose which of the three doors you would want (which could have anything behind it), then we'd all discover what they had won.

Well, Friday and again today, I had my own personal game of "Three Doors". But it was a nasty combination of dizziness and lightheadness. And, both times, it happened in the van, while driving, on the way to work.

No fun. There's the comment of the year.

So, my psych is helping to eliminate this physical manifestation of my level of stress, and, stop the panic attacks like I had at work Friday (I went outside and hid until it ended). So far, so good. I still feel a little "weird". Some would say that's normal for me, but I digress....

So, walking into the hospital this morning, the sliding door slides, and I almost try to go through, well, the door where it slid to, rather than the opening. Nothing like choosing between door one and door two.

Now, on the other hand, dizzy lovemaking wouldn't be so bad. Imagine having three images of your wife (or hubby) while you, well, enjoy? Lord, if the dizziness EVER happens again, let's have it then, okay? hee hee......


PS---Guess I, ah, focus on one segment of Deal or No Deal, eh? Click on link above to understand my comment. :)

Ah....welcome another TV girlfriend....

Abagail Spencer....star of Angela's Eyes on Lifetime. YES, I actually watch a show on Lifetime.

Whew. Very easy on the eyes. :)

Tragic and bizarre....

First, the news that immediately reminds us of, well, that.

Plane and high rise in New York. A crash. I first learned of it on a Fox News EMail alert and immediately turned the TV on.

1) Pictures of the building and realization: small fire, plus we later learn the plane didn't go into the building. Most of it crashed to the ground.

2) A sea of responders (yes!) as FDNY and NYPD take nothing for granted.

Then I had to leave work, pick up Robbie and take him to the orthodontist. Bring him home, get back to work around 5:30 and discover....

3) Joe Torre is quoted as saying the plane is registered to Yankee pitcher Cory Lidle.

4) Mayor Bloomberg (the part I saw) gives a thorough press conference.

5) Then, later, confirmation of Lidle's death, apparently while on a sightseeing trip that left Teeterboro Airport across the line in New Jersey. His flight instructor perished, too.

Thankfully, no one in the high rise passed.

What a weird story. Five years and a month after 9/11.

Plus, this puts the whole Yankee uproar and disappointment over losing into proper perspective. It really doesn't matter.

PLEASE pray for his wife Melanie, and six year old son, Christopher.

Over the top political ad....

...but you should see it.

Hollywood producer David Zucker (Scary Movie 4, Airplane, The Naked Gun) takes us back to October, 2000....

....while no political organization in their right mind would use it, it will make an impact, thanks to its posting on You Tube and Drudge.

Click here, then get ready.

P.S.---Didn't know Kim Jong Il could jam like Michael Jordan!


UPDATE: Thanks to hotair.com, word that YouTube has flagged the spot as "inappropriate". First Malkin, now this. Keep an eye on anti-GOP, anti-Bush ads there and see if they're flagged. In the meantime, Drudge has it, click the link above.

SECOND UPDATE: Zucker produced this hilarious (and true) spot in 2004 regarding Kerry.

Babs Blabs.....

Barbra Streisand.

Good Lord. Click above.

First Amendment Rights? She has 'em. Did the ticket people bought to see her say "concert and political skewing"? Bet it didn't.

Someone is tired of the skit during her NYC show (complete with impersonating George W. Bush idiot on stage) and wants to hear.....SHOCK....her sing! (I wouldn't, but then again, I would've never bought a ticket...or accepted a free ticket).

And the proper lady shouts, "Shut the F--- up!"

Darn. Bad timing. They should've heckled at "The Way We Were". Or remember "The Main Event", when she sings of it as her sexual experience with her movie co-star? Now that's enough to.....well.....I had dinner.

Look Babs, it's simple. When you promote a "concert", sing. If you want to have a political rally, skit away.

But don't mix the two as "bait and switch"....I'm sure not EVERYONE in the audience is politically mindnumb as you are.

P.S.---How about she present a real, intelligent political discourse next time with multiple reasons why she believes what she believes? When Clinton was President, what did she do in Act II, make out with a Clinton impersonator??

Tired....anyone else tired....??

Not much to say tonight....

--I purposely stopped watching the news for a few days not wanting to hear about the Foley stuff....

--Lots of emotional feelings the past several days, with sadness being the dominant one. I don't like sadness.

--Rain. LOTS of rain. Friday and Saturday. This meant no football game to call Friday night; it was moved up to Thursday night and I couldn't be there. Rats. PH did win, 54-0. Homecoming is this Friday, weather permitting.

--Got my quarterly "number one all the way" haircut. The morning autumn breeze feels so good on the old cranium.

--And finally, I can't wait to see who the Oakland Raiders pick #1 in the April 2007 NFL draft......can they draft an entire offensive line with the pick??

Thank you, Tigers!

Whew! Another year I don't have to hear about the almighty New York Yankees in the World Series. That's good for America.

The Detroit Tigers, with three local connections, Brandon Inge (VCU), Justin Verlander (Goochland High School), and Sean Casey (University of Richmond) all played roles in the 3-1 series win.

Thus, I have to root the hometown boys on the rest of the way.

Various October thoughts, part II

1) Is there still baseball? Here's what I care about....as long as the Yankees DO NOT win, I don't care who does.

2) My team and my wife's team in our fantasy football team are a combined oh and 8. The two youngest kids in the league are a combined eight and oh. And now you know who studied for the August draft and who didn't.

3) I now make sure I'm home before 8pm every Tuesday night so I can run interference with the kids so Mom can watch Gilmore Girls. Every other night of the week, can't promise when I'll get home.

4) Now 9pm....my wife's next show is on, I can return to Blogging.

5) Am I the only one even fathoming this possibility....one school shooting is a tragedy, two a coincidence, three a trend. Could it be possible that, well, Americans are now being recruited and are being used by terrorists to do such despicable acts, taking advantage of the person's anger, wish to avenge, etc. Maybe I'm just way too "paranoid", but you would think if there was going to be a rash of these, certainly right after Columbine would have been a time for that to happen.

Even if my pseudo-hypothesis is false (and I hope it is), it has opened my mind to begin thinking of another, more sinister, more covert way terrorists can infiltrate our country and inflict damage. Recruit people...people who are mad, want revenge, and don't look Middle Eastern. And, even though they may only "kill a few", it's like chipping away at a huge wall....eventually, you make your way through.

6) I need to end this post on an "upswing" note, but it's difficult because:

--I'm an Oakland Raider fan
--I'm really tired
--I have to go work from home
--my fantasy football team is....oh, told ya that already...
--I'm STILL not sleeping well at all
--I'm sick of looking seven months pregnant (note to self: change profile at the top corner of the blog's front page to reflect weight concern...)

WAIT! HERE'S SOMETHING!

I'm alive. I can see, hear, walk, speak.....and dear God, I take those things so, so for granted.

Thanks for the reminder, God. That is good news. :)

Various early October thoughts.....

....have you hugged your Muslim Extremist today?

September's winning numbers....

....7, 14, 21, and 24.

There's hope for October, but November is up for grabs!

Hope you find your winning numbers.

NOTE TO READERS (ARE THERE ANY?) hee hee...

I've posted ALOT tonight, so make sure you go about five entries deep.

I've run out of steam. Sleep....must find bed.....must find......

Now I'll NEVER see my wife!!!

Okay, she has now a second choice in catching her favorite TV shows....


The TV brings her Vanished, CSI: Miami, Gilmore Girls (she's REALLY happy about this; since we didn't have a WB affiliate in Richmond, another station in town would rerun WB programming in the middle of the night), Standoff, Lost, Found (just kidding), Grey's Anatomy, Numbers, Desperate Housewives, and, of course, 24.

Notice I didn't mention several others. Thanks to CBS Innertube, she can now watch other favorite shows ANYTIME SHE WANTS!!

NCIS
The Unit
CSI
and, if she's real game, maybe CSI: NY.


So, there she'll be; at the queen's recliner, catching one of her 28 favorite shows. Headphones? It's on the laptop. No headphones? I can't watch football in the living room.

WAAAAAHHHH!!!!

I forgot to hail these brave Oriole fans!!!

The article I link to is from the Orioles' official website, so that'll explain the spin on how these fans missed a comeback victory on September 21st, the "protest day".

God bless these thousand true Oriole fans. They didn't miss a thing.

Now, had they missed the O's winning the World Series.....but, trust me....

...that won't happen until Mr. Angelos is gone.



Mr. Angelos----please sell the O's!!!

The sound you hear of crickets chirping represents....

....every liberal in America who actually believes Keith Olbermann is, well, the King of America (didn't know we had someone working toward being in monarchy). They sure didn't rise up in indignation over Keith's, well....read on.

Last night, in his unique way (that is, there is more foot in his mouth than there is brain in his cranium), Olbermann decided to use, well, a rather unflattering term to describe Chris Wallace, who, bless his heart, had to smell the halitosis of Bill Clinton during his blood vessel bursting tirade on Fox News Sunday.




Chris Wallace is "a monkey posing as a newscaster".

A monkey. A monkey? A MONKEY????





We can certainly eliminate the racial implications here....this is a simple case of absolute hatred, maybe some blind jealousy, and, well, stupidity.

I'm not going to get into all the crap that's hit the fan (Bill, then Condoleeza, then the President, now Hillary....), the bottom line is:

EVERYONE FAILED.

Now that that's settled.....

Olbermann should apologize to Wallace; I can't wait to see if he does. If he doesn't, I will be so, so shocked. (tongue now out of cheek).

It's so sad to see hate, jealousy, and more jealousy, work to completely destroy someone. Keith is now a mirror of those he loathes, only he stands on "his" side (the Left), so now he feels like a patriot and thus every right to preach the Left's mantra on his "news" program (when is PMSNBC going to call it an opinion show like Fox does O'Reilly?).

How can I take him seriously? How can anyone?






And, if I haven't already done so here, let me tell you my patience with Fox is going away as well----I don't want a "conservative, flag-waving" news channel any more than I want a "bleeding-heart liberal" news channel.

Whatever happened to, the anchor and reporters present the facts, and then you're on your own to form an opinion.....

No wonder America is in such a funk....millions are letting others think and form their opinion for them.

But when George Allen uses (stupidly) a derivative of monkey....

The uproar was/is loud!


Now, compare to the next, above post.

Great Olbermann/Monkey Posting....

This is pretty good stuff....

Bill Clinton....what a temper!

So, former President Clinton got closer to Bin Laden than anyone else.

He had him pinned in Tora Bora?

No, he did not, but let's be fair. President Bush's military plan to let the Afghans take the lead there was a HUGE mistake. In the days following 9/11, the political fallout from U.S. troops leading that battle would have been nothing compared to the current Iraq situation, which, as much as I have supported the effort, has become a seriously debacled situation.

But that's another entry.

Back to Anger Guy.....do you think Clinton is a bit defensive about his record on Bin Laden? He treats the 1993 World Trade Center bombing as a criminal offense, and I guess ignored the messages from terrorists saying they would be back to finish the job.

I wonder if Clinton would have spontaneously combusted had Wallace expanded the first question to terrorism in general, and not just ending up focusing on Bin Laden?

"No one knew Al-Qaeda existed." That's Bill Clinton talking about Somalia in 1993. But there were terrorists trying to destroy the World Trade Center that year.

Didn't have to be Al-Qaeda...any terrorist should have been on the radar.

A great follow-up question (which would never had been asked because Bill wouldn't stop bursting blood vessels), would have been, "So, if you had killed Bin Laden, would the terrorist threat to the U.S. been severely curtailed or even eliminated?"

He was so obsessed with Osama, he exposed the weaker reality.....

...he didn't do enough concerning terrorism threats against the U.S. and our interests in general.

Frankly, I wish Clinton would have stopped him. That would have been great. Instead, it's kinda sad to see him doing "legacy-building" by actually tearing it up due to his temper.

And what's the deal with the Richard Clarke book? Is it his Bible or something??

And, finally, if I were Chris Wallace, had he laid his finger on me one more time, I would have made sure he couldn't wag it for at least six months.

Tomato Bowl 2006

Not quite (unfortunately) the rivalry it once was, when these were the ONLY two high schools in Hanover County, it was Patrick Henry and Lee-Davis in the 48th renewal of the Tomato Bowl.

All the scoring in the first half, and Patrick Henry shuts out the Confederates, 21-0. Great defensive game, offense was pretty good first half, quite lethargic in the second. Not sure why, but district play starts next week at Mills Godwin, so they better be focused and ready to play four quarters.

The funniest I've ever seen.....

....I finally got to see a ventriloquist on Dave's Ventriloquist Week, and saw a gem.

Go here. Meet Jeff Dunham and his friend Walter.

Walter is basically an old fart who likes no one. He likes bad words. (shoot)

But boy he is FUNNY!!!

I probably woke up the neighbors laughing. I've never done that with anything done in the bedroom......I'm better at some things than others. :)

But this would mean Hugo HAS a heart.....

I don't believe this.

First Hugo Sulfurman pulls his devil stunt at the "UN". As in un-good, by the way.

Then, he rallies today in Harlem, blatantly taking advantage of people to "prop up his goodness".

And, guess who helped?

You've GOT to see this "program". It would be ridiculously comical if it WERE NOT TRUE.

What's more, their employees handed out t-shirts to the used people in Harlem (will chant for dictator in exchange for lower priced heating oil. What??!!??), and they are stupid, STUPID enough to keep this on the front page of their site.

The next time you pass this place (notice you won't know the name of the company unless you click on a link), think of Hugo Sulfurman. Think of his generosity to people in Harlem. Think of the people he kills yearly in his own country due to his benevolence.

And then pass the joint and by gas elsewhere.
