More on "Box In A Box"

A couple of weeks ago I wrote Keith Olbermann Rocks. I was surfing the web this evening and found this followup to the satire of a satire called "My Box In A Box". You may have seen it elsewhere but the artist as it turns out is actually "two" Bunnys.

Keith Olbermann interviewed "Bunny" and if you want to see the clip, click this link.

Or if you prefer to see Bunny's blog you can click on this page.

The Academy Can Kiss My Butt

I started watching the Oscars last night and all of a sudden who pops up on stage. Why none other than that old political hack, Al Gore. Well, I didn't give it much thought at first, but when the rejected presidential candidate turned up on stage a second time, I decided it was enough.

I know that Hollywood has a big time liberal bent, but to parade this liberal loser out to an audience in the hundreds of millions was ridiculous. I talked to people at work today who felt the same way as I did. Gore had no business being paraded out at an awards ceremony. (Even though his controversial tome on global warming won an award, Gore had little to do with the actual movie production). The second time his mug came up on screen and he started a faux announcement about running for president I turned the channel. Sorry Academy awards, but I don't have to watch your crap unless I wish to do so.

Also last night I saw Bill O'Reilly on "60 Minutes". One of the finest bits of television I have seen in quite some time is when O'Reilly called out Al Franken and told him to "Shut Up". I don't think Franken knew whether to crap or go blind. Franken is a..pardon the description.."Big Fat Idiot".

A Few Odds and Ends...

-It has warmed up a little in the past week and it has been in the 50s much of this week. That may not sound very warm but after the lows each morning in single digits it feels like summer. I hope we don't have too much more snow and cold weather this winter. I am ready for spring and baseball.

-You won't believe this but the lead story on several TV stations "news" casts last week was a Cow stuck in a small stream. St. Louis is a market of two and three quarter million people. But, you would have thought this was Bugtussle. Both the Fox affiliate and Snooze Channel Five had "breaking news" tags on this story. It was hilarious watching the reporters "live" at the scene deliver their standups. I started laughing out loud at the lameness.

-My boss' boss got canned yesterday by his boss. The problem is the guy who got canned was a pretty good guy who knows what he's doing and had the troops pulling together and actually achieving goals. But, his idiot boss doesn't get it. An acting honcho has been named until someone else can be hired. Stay tuned for further details.

-If you haven't seen it yet, there's a new show in prime time called "The Knights of Prosperity". The first few times I watched it I thought it was simple. But, the more I watch it, I realize the program is pretty well written and the acting is great. Unfortunately, word on the street is no more episodes will be ordered once these 13 are used up.

It's Cold....I'm Bored

I am hibernating and my fingers and the rest of my body have been cold for the past two weeks. But, I wanted to write a few words to let you know that I am surviving.

The Super Bowl is over and it has been cold and gray for what seems like weeks now. I am ready for Spring. But the forecast is for the temp to stay below freezing until at least Sunday. But, then there is snow in the forecast. Why do I stay in the Midwest? I guess the beauty of the springs and falls makes it all worthwhile. Either that or the roots have gotten too long to just pick up and move.

As far as the Super Bowl goes I have seen better. But, congrats to the Colts (even though they cost me $20). I was pulling for the Bears and thought when Devin Hester ran back the opening kickoff they were on their way. But, the cream rose to the top and the Colts are World Champions. Their offensive and defensive lines dominated the Bears and Rex Grossman looked like a deer in the headlights. The better team won.
