It is hard out here

Jump on off wit’ yo’ good foot, wit’ yo good foot, wit’ yo’ good foot now, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

A big plus for Chi town
Chicago is competing against Los Angeles for the US candidate for the 2016 Olympics. L.A. has hosted a recent successful Olympics, but Chicago has a big asset on its side. Three words: Olympic Onion Rings.

He knows of what he speaks
Shaquille O’Neal is going to star in a reality show to battle childhood obesity; and Shaq knows what he is talking about, in his career, Shaq has gone from 285 to 350, approximately gaining the weight of an obese eight-year-old.

Unsteady Teddy
A study reveals that people who drink too much alcohol are more susceptible to memory loss maladies; in a related story, Ted Kennedy has misplaced twelve parked cars this month.

Gallo humor
Winemaker Ernest Gallo died at 97. Imagine how long he would have lived if he didn’t drink all that cheap wine? No word yet on if Gallo’s coffin will have a screw top.

Or something like that
Iran is going to build an island just for women who want to go on vacation. No men will be allowed. I think the name of it is Cucumber Island.

Which door is open to gays?
Senator Hillary Clinton promised that if she is elected president gays "always will have an open door to the White House." To which Bill Clinton added; “Yes, specifically hot lesbians in French maid or Catholic school outfits.”

Also to which a nervous Bill Clinton replied; “Yeah, we have an open door to gays, but fellas, the back door is closed if you know what I mean.”

How shoddy is it?
A congressional hearing revealed that the conditions at the Walter Reed Army hospital were shoddy; how shoddy? Their rats left to hang out at Taco Bell.

Not good
Scooter Libby was found guilty of 4 out of 5 counts. This is not good, the last thing anyone would want would be to be sent to prison with the name Scooter.

Zoning out
#1 at the beginning of the season, Arizona now faces possibly losing in the Pac Ten tournament, not going to the big NCAA dance. That’s like being invited to Paris Hilton’s bedroom only to have her tell you she’s just become born again and she wants to give you her testimony.

Since you asked:
Some TV marketing experts say that, although rating for “The View” are up due to all of Rosie O’Donnell’s ugly public fights, they are temporary, akin to looking at a car wreck. Many say the ratings for “The View” will drop because Rosie’s Q rating - or public likeability - is really low outside of the liberal entertainment business. In fact, Rosie’s ratings are rumored to be so low, when her unpopularity catches up to “The View” Barbara Walters will have to fire Rosie.

What happened with Rosie O’Donnell? When you think of Rosie’s successful stand up career, her cameos in “League of Their Own” and “Sleepless In Seattle” and at the start of her talk show, Rosie seemed like a cute, loveable St. Bernard puppy.

Now Rosie is Cujo.

For a while when she was losing her talk show, the biggest inside joke in Hollywood was Rosie’s nickname “The Queen of Nice.” She seemed down-to-earth as she fawned over Tom Cruise. And yet Rosie’s many fired staff members went public citing Rosie’s mental cruelty and downright sadistic meanness. The testimony against her in her failed “Rosie” magazine trial portrayed Rosie as a psychopath by the entire staff of the magazine.


This was from CNN about that trial:



NEW YORK — Rosie O'Donnell's battle with a German magazine publisher over who sunk the magazine bearing her name has never been pretty. But on Wednesday, one of the senior executives with the company told a rapt Manhattan courtroom just how ugly things got.


"Rosie said, 'Do you know what happens to people who lie? They get sick and they get cancer and if they keep lying they get cancer again,'" recalled a choked-up Susan Spengler, chief of marketing at Gruner + Jahr USA.

Spengler, a breast cancer survivor who said she'd discussed her cancer with O'Donnell, was so emotional that Supreme Court Justice Ira Gammerman called a 10-minute recess.


Since that trial Rosie has gotten worse.

Now Rosie is a train wreck. She is angry and combative, the very opposite of what gay liberals propose to be, which is kind, tolerant, sensitive, and open-minded. Rosie is mean, intolerant, insensitive (See: Rosie’s Chinese imitation) and Rosie down right angrily despises and attacks anyone who politically disagrees with her. (See: Elisabeth Hasselback)

As I am a male, I have never watched “The View” but, at first I thought Rosie was fun to watch on the clips of “The View” as she viciously tore into Kelly Ripa, Donald Trump, Oprah and now “American Idol”

Now it is just too painful to view that quivering ugly mass of bile and bitterness.
