"Ugly Betty" Isn't

Since You Been Gone

Best Transvestite In A Daytime Drama

All My Children has unveiled a transvestite. I really liked the way he/she said, "sexzeeeee bra." I just hope Erica Kane has all her girl parts.

Oops.

Another open mic on a news station set leads to yet another F Bomb being broadcast. A very violent F Bomb. Here. Poor, Buzz.

The iPhone

I'm not an IPod user but the new invention announced today by Apple is pretty cool. It's an IPod and a phone and it looks really cool. Cingular will be carrier and it will be released this summer. But it's pricey: $499 with a two year contract. I'm not sure of all the things it can do, but it looks amazing. Link. Be sure to scroll down to see all the photos of Steve Jobs' presentation today.

I've Had The Weirdest Dreams Lately

Last night in my dreams, me and a group of guys were to play, in a nationally televised game, the premiere women's high school basketball team in the country. And I was assigned the job of guarding their best player - some point guard. Mind you, this wasn't a dream about me in high school trying to guard some stud high school female. Nope. It was present day me who was supposed to do that job. I was so excited that I was scrambling trying to find someone to TIVO it. As usual for my dreams, I got lost and wasn't able to make it. (I spend all my time in my dreams trying to get to somewhere else.) I guess that is just as well. That dream girl would have scored 100 points on me by halftime. How bizarre.

The Legislature Is In Session Today

Let me suggest: - Legalize casino gambling - Legalize marijuana - Require uniforms in school

Texas Politics . . .

. . . gives me extreme Tired Head because (1) I don't think any of those yahoos know what they are doing, (2) I always get the feeling that some back room deal is going on, and (3) I sometimes have nightmares of Jane Nelson, wearing a French maid outfit, waiting on me when I get home. That being said, there's some big controversy down there right now as House Speaker Tom Craddick is in danger of losing his job. I really don't care about it. But I do get a kick out of the fact that Craddick held an "event" last night in Austin and some guy stood outside the entrance with a video camera to document every representative that showed up to support the Speaker. Our own Phil King was there to suck up. Source.

Let Me Be The First: "Winter Blast, 2007"

As we speak, Fox 4 News is sending Lari Barager to interview a sand truck driver.

Football Finale

The Florida Gators are rolling over #1 Ohio State at halftime. I'm just depressed because this is the last college football game until September. And no matter how good this game is, it won't match Texas/USC from last year. And I'm still haven't ruled out last weeks OU/Boise State game as the best game ever. And, finally, I would like to note that I traveled to Florida to watch the Gators play in September of last year. So what happens? They (I think) will win the National Championship. I took a trip to watch Michigan play in 1997 and they ended up as National Champs as well. I think I might be some type of Football Angel.

Show Me What You Got Now, Baby

I always stop down for the Jay-Z Budweiser commercial that begins with Danica Patrick and some NASCAR guy. I think it is Dale Jr. but I'm not sure.

She Had 25 Million Reasons To Work For Him

Terrell Owens has dumped his publicist, Kim Etheredge, who made headlines last year by claiming that T.O. had "25 million reasons why he should be alive" after his suicide and/or overdose and/or accident.

Puuuuuhhhleeeeezzzzzzeeee

CONNELL, ALANA COLETTE

A woman goes to greet new Alabama coach Nick Saben Saban at the airport. She gets drunk and is shown on TV (youtube clip here). She kisses Saben and gets her picture in the paper (top, above). Then she gets arrested later that day for DWI and ends up with a mugshot. This might be my eighth wife.

Death. Death. Death.

Your President will make a speech to the nation on Wednesday night and everyone expects that he will announce a troop "surge" in Iraq by 20,000 soldiers. God help us.
