Breitbart's Moment In The Spotlight
We love all the reality shows featured on Dish Network channels (VH1 has our favorites!) Since these really are all the rage these days; how about a program with a team of therapists trying to help Andrew Breitbart? It’s doubtful they’d have much success, but the program could prove highly entertaining nonetheless.
Never heard of Andy B? Let us fill you in; he’s a half-glass-empty kind of guy, generous with an endless wealth of unpleasant opinions and, for the moment, a master of self-promotion. Breitbart seems to have issues with the media, the President (how un-American is that?) and the greater part of society in general.
It’s likely that his 15 minutes of fame have nearly run their course, but why not milk the puppy for all he’s worth? Let’s wring out the last drops of morbid fascination with a reality show to wrap up his final moments in the spotlight.
Sunstein Nudges Opponents Toward Logic
Have you turned on the news today? Check out the Chris Matthews Show or Keith Olbermann or any of the other great news coverage you'll find on Dish satellite programming and you’re sure to hear mention of the name Cass Sunstein.
A notable legal scholar, author, orator and editor, Sunstein has recently become the target of radical slurs, based mainly on his views regarding gun control.
“Nudge”, the book he co-wrote in 2007 with Richard Thaler, offers a thoughtful assortment of ideas for productive libertarian behavior, many of which have caused a bit of a fervor amongst his uber-conservative opponents.
A conscientious, considerate man whose writings indicate nothing more than humane perspectives and suggestions to benefit the betterment of society, it seems odd (at best) that any reasonable person would deem Sunstein as contentious. Apparently there is no nudging some folks into logic.
Fake Blood - Not Just For Halloween
I was checking out the HBO True Blood site and noticed that there is a new True Blood beverage for sale. No kidding. It’s orange flavored and comes in the same packaging that you see on the hit series. Personally, I would have opted for cherry flavoring.
No doubt there will be plenty of people in the market for ingestible fake blood (yummy!). Just think, a couple of years ago something like this would have been available (and interesting) only at Halloween. Thanks to True Blood, we now have a year-round fascination with vamps and their favorite beverage. Looks like it will be perfect for parties.
Amusing Tools
Lucky for me (and for Dish Network’s VHI channel), cutting back on our budget hasn’t cut down on entertainment. I checked out the show ‘Tool Academy’ for the first time this weekend. Wow…it’s like driving by the relationship equivalent of a train wreck.
This show really is amusing, and reassuring. Any person who is not in a relationship with a complete moron (and that probably encompasses most of us) will be grateful for the highly evolved human being that they’ve chose to partner with. I’m not sure where they dredged up the participants for this show, but their shallow, self-absorbed neurosis and questionable intellect are disturbing (that applies to both the male 'tools' and their ladies). If any of the Tool Academy alumni do manage to keep their relationships intact and, god-forbid, reproduce, the resulting offspring will no doubt garner a reality show of their own. Stay tuned.
Rachel Alexandra Runs Like A Girl!
Typically a huge fan of any horse-related sport, I shocked myself by missing immediate coverage on the Saratoga Springs race this past Saturday. Many thanks to ESPN and Dish Network for getting the news to me post-event.
Wonder-filly Rachel Alexandra won her race, beating out the fast-paced field of boys, and becoming the first-ever girl to take the title since the race’s inception some 56 years ago! The incredibly talented 3 year old girl has been making headlines since current owner, Jess Jackson, entered her in the Preakness. Her win at that race, with jockey Calvin Borel, made her the first filly to take the title in over 80 years. Following in the remarkable hoof prints of Ruffian and Personal Ensign, Rachel Alexandra really runs like a girl!
