ASPCA And Saccharin Overkill

I like watching home improvement shows so I can see what I should be doing if I actually got off the couch. Watching these programs one gets used to being indoctrinated by agendas not yours such as the preponderance of gay couples fixing up their houses and that all husbands are dolts. Very few of these episodes show people with pets.

So why is ASPCA flooding these shows with their ads? The ads show wounded hurting animals with sad eyes in cages that are cold and hard as musical artists like Willie Nelson and  Lilith Fair's reigning queen of emotionalism, Sarah McLachlan wail in the background to put you in the right mood to cry as you grab the phone to give away all your money to the ASPCA.

The ads play more than the ambulance chasing mesothelioma lawyer ads. They play constantly and to the point I have to stop watching and actually go do some home improvement.

I hate the ads. I detest them.

We have three dogs, all of which were abused, which we love to death and they are happy and feeling quite the family members. As I write I am surrounded by them peacefully snoring away. Well, Minnie has her right rear leg going with a yelp now and then, but with a smile.

Maybe, instead of trying to help animals or raise funds the ASPCA is trying to get gay couples and stupid husbands to adopt pets. Whatever the case Willie and Sarah are out of my music library and the ASPCA won't get another thought let alone any shekels of mine. They make sleazy lawyers and used car dealer ads showing salesmen jumping out of helicopters wearing Superman outfits look classy.

The Emmy Awards

My wife has the Emmy Awards show on which reminded me that last week I actually saw a hetrosexual couple on TV.

Unfortunately, their unexpected appearance on television caused my TV to melt.

July 23 - 1st TransAtlantic Broadcast - 48 Years Ago

1962 – Telstar relays the first publicly transmitted, live trans-Atlantic television program, featuring Walter Cronkite.

This amazing technology gave Europe and America live telecasts in 18 minute increments. More amazing is that this breakthrough occurred less than 50 years ago. Just over a year later people in Europe and the United States could watch the aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination live.

Rosie O'Donnell. I Blame Ed McMahon

Which wag stated "Can you quote a yawn?"

Let's take a look at some Rosie moments that make all go fuzzy and warm all over, which, now that I think about that, makes me want to take a shower.

"You know what concerns me? How many Supreme Court judges are
Catholic?"

"You know, you can imagine in China it's like, 'Ching-chong, ching-chong.
Danny DeVito. Ching-chong, ching-chong-chong. Drunk. The View.
Ching-chong.'"

"There were 15 British sailors and marines who apparently went in to
Iranian waters and they were seized by the Iranians. And I have one thing to
say. Gulf of Tonkin. Google it."

"The British did it on purpose. (They went) into Iranian waters as the U.S.
military builds up on the Iranian border. We will be in Iran before summer as
planned."

"655,000 Iraqi civilians dead. Who are the terrorists?" She further
explained, "If you were in Iraq and another country, the United States, the
richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your citizens,
what would you call us?"

I do believe that it's the first time in history that fire has ever melted
steel. I do believe that it defies physics that World Trade Center tower 7 —
building 7, which collapsed in on itself — it is impossible for a building to
fall the way it fell without explosives being involved. World Trade Center 7.
World Trade Center 1 and 2 got hit by planes — 7, miraculously, the first time
in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible. To say that
we don’t know that it imploded, that it was an implosion and a demolition, is
beyond ignorant. Look at the films, get a physics expert here [on the show] from
Yale, from Harvard, pick the school — [the collapse] defies reason.

"Well, then, get away from the fear. Don't fear the terrorists. They’re
mothers and fathers."

"All right, but wait. When you go to war, we have the United–we have the
United Nations, and the United Nations is the one who says, as the world voice,
what they condone and what they condemn. And the U.N. had said we could not do it, and every other nation in the world, besides England, who’s on our side and
in our pocket, they said it was a bad idea. "

"I believe in state sponsored terrorism. I believe there is government
sponsored terrorism in every nation in the world, including ours."

"It was interesting to note that President Bush was flying to Virginia Tech
today and took him a week to get to ... Katrina to visit the victims [...] You
can’t pretend that it’s the same. How many people died in Katrina?"

"You are not allowed to own a gun, and if you do own a gun, I think you
should go to prison."

"It was always my dream to give an old, bald billionaire a boner."

"Eat me."

Not a snowball's chance in Hell Rosie. Not even if you had a billion. Not even if you weren't bat crap crazy. Which you are. You need help.

Oh, Ed McMahon's daughter told him about Rosie and he put her on his "talent" show. Shame on you Ed.

Sanjaya and American Idol

My wife likes American Idol.

Some of my friends love American Idol.

Personally, I think it is an excruciating show reminiscent of an evening at the local Holiday Inn bar.

Only worse.
