In case you haven't heard,Terry O'Neill, current president of NOW had much to say; to quote LA Times website... "I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it," she said. "That's what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don't find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself."
WOW, did we all watch the same commercial? I mean I was stuck in snowmaggedon, but CBS are you listening? I think you are in trouble. BIG trouble. I'm flying today, but I bet CBS is practically shutdown with all people boycotting their programming. I feel really bad for KBOI TV in Boise, everyone please take candles down to the station.
Lee here, dropping a few words as Dennis encouraged me recently to do. I've lived in Boise for quite a few years, but as the title says...
Yep - born in New Orleans in `66, family has lived in New Orleans since the mid 1800's, so I have some history. I actually did go to Saints games and wore the first, unofficial, game attire - a brown paper bag. If you don't know that whole bit, just go Bing/Google "Aints" and New Orleans.
My food for tomorrow's Superbowl? Tami's Red Beans & Rice. My drink for tomorrow (if I could buy them here) would be Barqs in very cold GLASS bottles. Those who know, know what I mean, so I'll have to just wait a week. I'll be there, in my first city, on February 13th. I tried to get down there yesterday, but the airfare was too costly. I tried to explain to friends what it would be like to "be in that place" if the Saints win tomorrow. I'm sure the city and my family will still be enjoying things and I'll just coast into a wonderful reunion. If the Saints lose on Sunday, then I'll just have to relish in the fact that we are no longer part of the group of teams that has never been to the Big Game and I'll look forward to next season to go all the way.
One thing `bout Saints fans I think all should know; this goes beyond passion, beyond reason, beyond faith, beyond anything you can imagine. The Saints are more than a team to the diaspora of New Orleans folk; they are our family, they are the one thing that our hopes and dreams are connected to. Now don't get all religious here - this is sports, not Jesus. But when you are a group of people that should have been wiped off the face of the earth many times in the modern history of 500 years, you get an attitude. When as a recent son, born between "Hurricane Aunts" Betsy and Camille, and you have close relatives that lose everything and have to rebuild over and over again, you get an attitude. When as a city you are looked at as so stupid to live in a bowl of bayou with the Mississippi constricting around just waiting to receive the next disaster - it gives you an attitude... that maybe, just maybe, this is our moment to LIVE! This is our moment to BREATHE! This is our moment to see the SUN!
Who Dat, Who Dat, Who Dat Say They Gonna Beat Dem Saints...
To hear/stream all the kewl & krazy Saints songs head over to wwl's website - my favs are Bring Em to the Dome, Who Dat & Ying Yang Twins Crunk, plus the whole punk-ish style of "The Saints are Coming" by U2 and Green Day, makes me think of the movie Boondock Saints. Remember when #17, Robert Meachem ripped the ball from Washington's #41 who had just intercepted Drew Brees throw? Yeah, look out, The Saints Are Coming...
In case you haven't heard, and only know what was shown Monday night on Fox Sports' broadcast of BSU's win at the Fiesta Bowl, the "cowbell girl' does smile! Her story has lit up the internet in a special way and many people are either embarrassed or excited.
Taking a break from our travel blog postings to San Diego. I thought I'd re-post what I thought was a clever little piece. (But then again I think I am a clever little..er big, man, at times - so you be the judge.)
A week or so back, this was posted, but few got to see it. I'm leaving it on, to just chuckle...Sorry in advance if my humor seems somewhat semi-edgey during this Christmas season. That's how we chuckle around our house....or re-chuckle when I'm on the road. Hope you enjoy (or re-enjoy it today)

-------------------
So...many years ago our oldest child had this fascination with the Christmas Stable scene that was placed on the coffee table or near the fireplace each early-December.
Probably too much of a fascination...
At one point, during a typical post-Christmas re-packing death march, I noticed that Baby Jesus seemed to not be "together"...his arm was missing.
No one fessed up. No one. Not Dr. Richard Kimble, not The One-Armed Man, not my oldest child.
So we kept Jesus that way...and year after year the One-Armed Babe came out to be with us. So this year, as we placed him in his straw-filled basket, my bride tried to cover up his "ghost arm". Not cool. So I placed him here in the blog to remind us all (especially my kids) that some traditions at Christmas time are just not right....tee hee...and they tend to annually reappear, nonetheless.
Do not place this guy in the manger scene on your coffee table or over your fireplace. He will not like it and he may let you know that. In the TV show he was a drifter who had this sort-of psycho-thing about "beatin' up dames"....and he deserved what he got when Dr. Richard Kimble (ok, Lt. Gerard) killed him at the end of the "Special Last Show" of The Fugitive.
Not baby Jesus, either.
In the film version this guy was a former bad-cop turned PI who worked for a Doctor (booo, hiss). They had to shift the negative emphasis away from psycho handicapped dame-killer dudes - onto rich doctors who we ALL can hate...they even gave him a fake arm, so we wouldn't see his baby Jesus stump...
The Katie Couric/Sarah Palin interview grows more tiresome with every new re-view.
I mean really....stop it, please.
Couric's TV 2-shots seem always to have her grimacing (artfully, I suppose). Or the b-roll shows her body awkwardly angled away from Palin...(Kinda like: "Get me the heck out of this blind date!") Sarah Palin was "taken to the movies", but boy did that little Katie leave her eating popcorn kernels, alone....
What a mis-casting, from the get-go.
Given that, I decided to hit the movies myself and see if there were any other co-star mis-casting in a current movie that could lead me out of the blues and purge my feelings against the widow-woman, Katie. No, not really, but I found some terrific co-casting.
I found it in A Righteous Kill.....and then I found somethig even better! I found the key(s) to unlock the painful mystery of the Curic-Palin pain-fest:
Robert Deniro and Al Pacino.
What?
Yeah, listen up.....they should have been interviewed by "Katie the Knife". Cause, they're the only ones who can get away with saying the "F-word" and not make it sound like they're swearing....(keep reading for the "script")
This may be old news to you, but I stumbled across Achmed the semi-dead terrorist. Not sure that his way of expressing life and death is your cup of tea...or your style of hookah bar.
But I laughed at it...and so did everybody with me. Humor out of terror? Absolutely not. Humor out of idiotic behavior? Watch it, and then you tell me.
In a previous posting I asked the question of whether men in America had been emasculated as the real goal of feminism, since some ultra-feminists have dismissed (and found unacceptable) the ACTUAL chance of a woman being elected to one of the two top positions in the US Government, if that woman is
a conservative
pro-life,
hockey mother of 5 and
faithful wife for 20 years....
Then, I received this from Woody about emasculated males...and it made me laugh.
(Do real men dance like this? just askin'.....tee hee) And help me out...is this footage of McCain dancing doctored? He seems to like to dance, too...but maybe not in person.
