HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY

THE WOOK SPEAKS:

I can honestly say that I've never watched Fox's Trading Spouses, and thanks to this link from Love, I can honestly say I'm sorry that I don't. Live in a red state that is.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!

RUBBERNECK SPEAKS:

Today's entry from the "Carlin-Quote-a-Day" Calendar:

"If this is the best God can do, I'm not impressed. Results like these do not belong on the resume of a supreme being. This is the kind of stuff you'd expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. In any well-managed universe, this guy would have been out on his all-powerful ass a long time ago."

This solidifies the fact that we should begin preparing an "IMPEACH GOD" campaign to coincide with the next general election.

LATE LATE-BREAKING NEWS!

TEZ SPEAKS: This furthers my assertion that humankind is no smarter than we were a thousand years ago, and I'm certain this zero slope will continue. If Henderson and Paine were able to write so rationally but we still have people seeing images in their breakfast - who've never even heard of these authors, in this AGE OF INFORMATION - we are likely to continue electing W's, consuming fossil fuels, going to church, eating at McDonalds and irresponsibly prescribing antibiotics. Hence the role of intoxicants.

LOVELY & HIS TIVO

THE LOVELY MAN SPEAKS: I'm still hoping this show, like many shows, will introduce a ridiculous plot twist or new wacky character to try to keep the viewers' attention: Flunky: Madam President, your budget plan is stalled in Congress, there are two natural disasters being mishandled by your appointees, foreign insurgents have just taken over Afghanistan and are now peeing on the US embassy steps, your daughter has been caught filming  a lesbian sex-tape with Paris Hilton, and your husband has just been diagnosed with a rare testicular condition which means that the seed that is quickening in your womb will actually give birth to a turtle- shaped monster hitherto unknown to any genus or phylum! What are you going to do?!? Geena Davis: Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Even a Lovely Man can dream...
