I been saying for a long time that Glenn Beck is a total mental case.  I fear he is going to hurt himself or others.  He needs to see a doctor and he needs to be medicated.  They need to make sure he takes his medication.
  Now he is very popular with many TV viewers.  His show, I find it hard to believe, is very popular.  It gets great ratings.
 
  I do not have cable TV and so I do not get Fox "news" or his TV show.  From what I have heard he does not have any real advertisers! 
  Now I have seen this before… I commented on this blog many many years ago about it.  Except it was about Rush Limbaugh.  Yes, Rush Limbaugh used to be on television.  I had a couple of friends that watched his TV show and loved him.  They were telling me…begging me to watch Rush Limbaugh.  I would say sometimes OK I will watch him until he says something stupid.  I would sit about one minute and he would say something stupid and wrong and I would walk away from the TV set.
  I told my friends he is not going to be on TV very long.  They will take him off the air.  They would say you are crazy his show is very popular.  Then his TV show was moved to like midnight or one AM.  I told them he is going off the air.  They said no he is so popular and I told them look he has no advertisers.  They would say he has advertisers and they would mention some company I never heard of.  I would tell them that.. No he has no real advertisers and he will go off the TV.  Well it was not long after that he was taken off of TV.
  Do not feel sorry for him he was on the radio and has made millions from radio.

Jon Gosselin offered money from Playgirl – Jon Gosselin in Playgirl. Because every woman needs to look at one of the biggest tools alive to feel better about their own boyfriends. It looks like Jon Gosselin’s peen doesn’t have six-figure selling power.

Playgirl has offered to pay Jon Gosselin by the inch. So, I’m assuming that means he’d be giving THEM money. The cash-strapped former star of TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 has been offered a lowly $20,000 to take his cloths of in an upcoming issue of Playgirl.

“We discussed it, and we’d offer him only $20,000,” Playgirl rep Daniel Nardicio told Life & Style this week.

That’s less than impressive, especially when we consider that the soft porn mag reportedly offered F-Listed celebrity baby daddies Levi Johnston and Scott Disick $100,000 to pose in nude pictorials.

Although Playgirl reps declined to explain how they settled on the figure, rumors about John Gosselin’s petite manhood are likely to blame for the low offer. Last month, his former mistress Hailey Glassman publicly cracked jokes about the Octodad’s sexual prowess (or lack thereof) and quipped that he has the penis of a pre-pubescent boy."

  Bristol Palin is now a TV star and she attended the Pre-Oscar party.

 

"While her mom was reportedly out looking for a reality show, Bristol Palin was working on her own TV debut.
The 19-year-old daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin filmed her scene on ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager this week during the mother-daughter visit to Los Angeles – then made a splash at a pre-Oscar party.
Working on a closed set to protect her privacy, the single mom played herself Tuesday – but as the fictional friend of Shailene Woodley’s character Amy. The episode airs in June or July…"  See People

  I do not have a problem with Bristol Palin trying to make a few dollars.  She has a baby to support and I am not sure she is going to get much help from the baby’s father.

   I am sure that the right wing gang will love the show but I do not think it will go over well with others to see that much of Sara Palin.  I got the feeling that for many people the less you see and hear her the better you like her.
   It looks like Sara Palin is out to make as much money as she can and it looks like she is willing to do just about anything to make the money.  I think a "reality" TV show is an error.

"Roger Joseph Ebert (pronounced /ˈiːbərt/; born June 18, 1942) is an American film critic and screenwriter.

He is known for his film review column (appearing in the Chicago Sun-Times since 1967, and later online)[3] and for the television programs Sneak Previews, At the Movies with Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, and Siskel and Ebert and The Movies, all of which he co-hosted for a combined 23 years with Gene Siskel. After Siskel’s death in 1999, Ebert teamed with Richard Roeper for the television series Ebert & Roeper & the Movies, which began airing in 2000. Although his name remained in the title, Ebert did not appear on the show after mid-2006, when he suffered post-surgical complications related to thyroid cancer which left him unable to speak. Ebert ended his association with the show in July 2008,[4] but in February 2009 he stated that he and Roeper would continue their work on a new show.[5]

Ebert’s movie reviews are syndicated to more than 200 newspapers in the United States and worldwide. He has written more than 15 books, including his annual movie yearbook which is predominantly a collection of his reviews of that year. In 1975, Ebert became the first film critic to win a Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. His television programs have been widely syndicated and have been nominated for Emmy awards. In February 1995, a section of Chicago’s Erie Street near the CBS Studios was given the honorary name Siskel & Ebert Way. In June 2005, Ebert was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was the first professional film critic to receive such an award. In late 2007,Forbes Magazine named Ebert "the most powerful pundit in America," edging out Bill O’Reilly, Lou Dobbs andGeraldo Rivera.[6] He has honorary degrees from the University of Colorado, the AFI Conservatory, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Since 1994, he has written a Great Movies series of individual reviews of what he deems to be the most important films of all time. This list and his associated reviews have now expanded to include over 300 movies. Since 1999, he has hosted the annual Roger Ebert’s Film Festival in Champaign, Illinois…"

As we first reported, DCFS showed up the night before after receiving a tip that Jermaine Jackson’s 13-year-old son, Jaafar, was playing with a stun gun on the second floor of the residence.
Sources tell us the social workers are interviewing all of the children in the house — including Michael Jackson’s 3 kids — along with other family members and staff. We’re told DCFS is taking the investigation very seriously and the plan yesterday was to come back today as well.
Sources say some of the individual interviews have taken a long time and there is a lot of tension on the property.
We’ve learned there’s a conflict among people who live and work at the property. We know some members of the staff will tell DCFS that the stun gun was there for several days, before a member of security went upstairs and allegedly found Jaafar and other kids playing with the gun and pointing it at Michael’s sons Blanket and Prince…"

  Each time I hear that Michael Jackson’s children are "happy, health and wonderful" then I worry about them.  Did they pay a PR firm to come up with that statement? 
  It looks like Jermaine Jackson’s 13 year old son ordered himself a stun gun via mail order.
  He tested it out in the bathroom!  These people have millions of dollars and the kid has to do something like that in a bathroom?  He can not do it in his bedroom?  On top of that security guards can hear what he is doing in the bathroom? 
  I got a feeling if the Jackson’s kids are not messed now they are going to be messed up. 
 
  OK why would a 13 year old boy want a stun gun?  We are not talking about a boy young man that lives in the hood.  Hell he has security guards that can hear him in the bathroom. So it is not for protection.  
  What are 13 year old boys interested in?  Video games and sex.  You do not need a stun gun to play a video game.  
  
  
  The "kids are happy, health and wonderful" so says the family.
  How can they be OK when they are in a fucked up family?  Kids that are a gold mine to the family. 
I wish Michael Jackson’s kids could just live a normal life but it does not look like it is going to happen.

"Washington (CNN) — Former Vice President Dick Cheney suffered a mild heart attack Monday when he complained of chest pains and was hospitalized, his office said Tuesday.

"Lab testing revealed evidence of a mild heart attack," the statement said. "He underwent a stress test and a heart catheterization. He is feeling good and is expected to be discharged in the next day or two."

During the catheterization, which took place at George Washington University Hospital, doctors examined blood flow to the heart and tested how well the heart was pumping.

In the procedure, a doctor inserts a catheter, a thin plastic tube, into an artery or vein in the arm or leg and threads it into the chambers of the heart or into the coronary arteries. The test can measure blood pressure within the heart and how much oxygen the blood contains.

Two sources said Tuesday that Cheney, 69, was in his hospital room, where he had lunch with family members. He also was working with them editing a chapter of a book he is writing.

He was described as being in good spirits…"

  As you know I am NO fan of Dick Cheney.  But thank God I am a better person than many right wing Republicans.  Many right wing Republicans have been praying for Democrats in congress to die.  Even some have been praying for the President of the United States to die.

  Now I have not been praying for his good health but that is because I do not pray for things like that anymore.  The last time I can remember praying for something like that was when I was in a Catholic high school and prayed all day at school and on the bus heading home.  I was praying that my dog, Lady, would be OK.  She had been sick and my dad refused to spend money to have a vet check her.

Michael Jackson’s long time choreographer Travis Payne and MJ dancers Performed with the Dancing inmates on January 19, 2010. Sony Studios made this event possible!

"They Don’t Care About Us" is the fourth single from Michael Jackson’s album HIStory. The song remains one of the most controversial pieces Jackson ever composed. In the US, media scrutiny surrounding alleged antisemitic lyrics were the catalyst for Jackson issuing multiple apologies and re-recording the album—altering the lyrics for that particular track. The singer countered allegations of antisemitism, arguing that reviews had misinterpreted the context of the song, either unintentionally or deliberately. Musically, it is an aggressive hip-hop production about social ills.

The song was accompanied by two music videos directed by Spike Lee. The first was shot in a shantytown of Rio de Janeiro, and Salvador where State authorities tried to ban all production over fears the video would damage their image, the area and prospects of staging the 2004 Olympics. Still, the residents of the area were happy to see the singer, hoping their problems would be made visible to a wider audience. The second video was shot in a prison and contained video footage of multiple references to human rights abuses.

Commercially, the song became a top ten hit in all European countries and number one in Germany for three weeks. In the US, radio stations were reluctant to play the controversial composition; it, however, managed to peak at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100.”  Wikipedia

  Andy Dick has been arrested in West Virginia on two felony counts of “sexual abuse.” 
  I know him from the series “NewsRadio” (1995-1999) and he was funny on the show.
 
  I did not know about this other stuff:

“…Public incidents

Drug use

In 2005, Dick stirred controversy in Edmonton, Alberta, at Yuk Yuk’s comedy club when he dropped his pants and exposed his genitals to the audience. Amid the uproar, he was ushered off the stage and the second night was canceled.[11]

On December 2, 2006, he angered an audience at the Improv Club in Los Angeles by shouting "You’re all a bunch of niggers!" following an improvised set with comedian Ian Bagg. This was a direct reference to Michael Richards‘ use of the same epithet to insult hecklers two weeks earlier.[12] He later issued an apology through his publicist:


I chose to make a joke about a subject that is not funny, in an attempt to make light of a serious subject. I have offended a lot of people, and I am sorry for my insensitivity. I wish to apologize to Ian, to the club and its patrons and to anyone who was hurt or offended by my remark.

On February 2, 2007, he was forcibly removed during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, after repeatedly touching guest Ivanka Trump. After Dick rubbed Trump’s legs and touched her hair, Jimmy Kimmel begged him to behave himself. When Dick asked Trump to "give him a big, fat, sloppy kiss right on the lips" and grabbed her arm, Kimmel called in two security guards. Kimmel and the guards dragged Dick off-set.[13] On May 2, 2007, he made another appearance on Kimmel, which began by showing the clip of him being dragged out of his previous appearance, and then wheeled out, Hannibal Lecter-style, on a dolly. He exchanged some dialogue and playful touching with Kimmel’s other guest, Danica Patrick.

On July 17, 2007, at the Laugh Factory comedy club in Los Angeles, Dick was in an altercation with his former NewsRadio costar Jon Lovitz, who claimed that, a year earlier, Dick had approached him at a restaurant and said, "I put the Phil Hartman hex on you; you’re the next one to die," and demanded an apology from Dick. Lovitz has alleged that Dick gave cocaine to Hartman’s wife Brynn, a recovering addict, causing her to relapse and five months later, kill her husband in their home before committing suicide.[14] Upon joining the cast of NewsRadio as Hartman’s replacement, Lovitz told Dick, "I wouldn’t be here now if you hadn’t given Brynn that cocaine."[15] Additionally, as reported in TV Guide, Dick was the last person in the company of Suddenly Susan star David Strickland in Las Vegas on March 22, 1999. Strickland was scheduled to report to his drug rehab probation officer on a routine check-in within a day of his death.[16]

In August 2007, Dick was cited by Columbus, Ohio police for urinating on a sidewalk and a building. During his weekend in Columbus he was reported to be intoxicated during his standup performance and groped patrons at a comedy club. Upon his return to Los Angeles, Los Angeles County deputies were called to his residence to respond to a complaint that Dick was throwing beer bottles into his neighbor’s yard. He also slapped a reporter in the face outside a Los Angeles nightclub.[17]

On July 16, 2008, Dick was arrested in Murrieta, California on suspicion of drug possession and sexual battery. He was arrested for allegedly grabbing and pulling down a 17 year old girl’s tank-top and brassiere down, thereby exposing her breasts. During a search of his person, police reported finding a small quantity of marijuana and one Xanax tablet (for which Dick did not have a prescription) in his front pants pocket.[18][19]

Arrest and rehabilitation

On May 15, 1999, Dick drove his car into a utility pole in Hollywood. He was charged with possession of cocaine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs and hit-and-run driving. He later pleaded guilty to felony cocaine possession and two other misdemeanor charges: marijuana possession and possession of "a smoking device". After Dick completed an 18-month drug diversion program, a judge dismissed the felony and misdemeanor drug charges against him.

In 2006, Dick made a widely publicized appearance at the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner. He licked the faces of Farrah Fawcett, Carrie Fisher, and Patton Oswalt, and groped and bit the hand of New York Post reporter Mandy Stadtmiller backstage.[20] Dick, who holds that Stadtmiller "slanted" the incident,[21] returned to rehabilitation after the roast.[22]

Dick can be seen on Sober House, a 2009 Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew spin-off focusing on a sober living environment. Dick approached Dr. Drew Pinsky to ask for help with his addictions and agreed to enter the Sober Living house. In the penultimate episode, Dick explained that his excessive drinking led to many of the public incidents for which he has become notorious and for which he has ruined many of his relationships. In that episode, he visited a number of the people whose lives he had so affected, such as comedian Mo Collins, to apologize for disclosing information to her husband, information which led to her divorce.[23]

In September 2009, Dick appeared on The Adam Carolla Podcast and reported that he had been sober for approximately one year.[24]

On January 23, 2010, Andy Dick was arrested around 4:00 am in a bar in Huntington, WV for sexual abuse.[25]”  Wikipedia

  When Imus (the I man) was on MSNBC I would watch him sometimes.  If there was something happening in the United States I would think I wonder what Imus thinks about this and I wonder what he will say and I would tune in and watch.
  When Imus  was taken off of MSNBC I would tune in and see who was filling in for him and if they were going to be his replacement.
  Then I saw Joe Scarborough filling in for him.  Joe Scarborough a former Republican congressman from FL.  I sort of liked the show with him.  He seemed to sort of middle of the road for a Republican.  He might even take a position that was not a right wing Republican talking point.  It was sort of refreshing.  I was glad when he got the show full time.
  I can not get MSNBC now since I moved.  So I can not watch his show.
  I do see some YouTube clips of him from time to time.  He is an ass hole and a prick.  I can see it now.  He thinks he is right about everything and he does not like to have anyone disagree with him.  I think he would be sort of scary if he held office and had some sort of power.  I can see him with an enemy list and I can see him trying to get even with people.
  Now having said that my God his co-host Mika Brzezinski is just wonderful.  I love her.  (I know she is married with a couple of kids.)  She works so well with him and how she can do it and how he lets her get away with it I do not know.  She is just so cool and she expresses herself so well by words and looks.  She knows just how to handle him and she knows when there is no point in even trying. It is sort like she his his mom.. He is a child out of control and she sees that all she can do is let him lay on the floor and yell and scream and cry until he is all done.  How in the world did she learn the ability to set right next to some guy that is so out of control and she does not get caught up in the crazy mood and talk I do not know.  I think she saves the show and makes it worth watching.  If it was just Joe Scarborough you would turn off the show.  But you sort of enjoy watching him starting to lose it and her trying to get him back on the path and sometimes she can do it and other times you just enjoy looking at her.  She is smart and dam easy on the eyes (she is 42 years of age). 
  I wish I could get MSNBC and I would watch “Morning Joe” just to see her.

"It was wrong for me to ever deny she was my daughter," he said Thursday. | Edwards confirmed this in a statement released to The Associated Press, after initially denying that he’d fathered a child during an affair with campaign aide Rielle Hunter…”

  I wanted John Edwards as president.  I was one of his early supporters.  After the election and when I heard about the scandal I am one of many that turned on him.
  He does not hold office and is just a private citizen but if he had been running in the election and it had been him and John McCain and then the fact came out that he was cheating on his wife and had fathered a child with her well John McCain would be President of the United States.  I think given the condition of the United States and how the Republican party is I fear that might have been the end of the United States.
  If John Edwards had been elected President of the United States just think of the damage and the problems for him and the Democratic party AND the entire nation.
  John Edwards knew that it could happen and yet he ran with that and knew it and put the Democratic party and the United States in danger.  Hell I think that is close to treason.
  I will never forgive him.  He could have put this nation at major risk.

"To: Rush Limbaugh

From: Roger Ebert

You should be horse-whipped for the insult you have paid to the highest office of our nation.

Having followed President Obama's suggestion and donated money to the Red Cross for relief in Haiti, I was offended to hear you suggest the President might be a thief capable of stealing money intended for the earthquake victims.

Here is a transcript from your program on Thursday:

Justin of Raleigh, North Carolina: "Why does Obama say if you want to donate some money, you could go to whitehouse.gov to direct you how to do so? If I wanted to donate to the Red Cross, why do I have to go to the White House page to donate?"

Limbaugh: "Exactly. Would you trust the money's gonna go to Haiti?"

Justin: "No."

Rush: "But would you trust that your name's gonna end up on a mailing list for the Obama people to start asking you for campaign donations for him and other causes?"

Justin: "Absolutely!"

Limbaugh: "Absolutely!"

 That's what was said.

Unlike you and Justin of Raleigh, I went to Obama's web site, and discovered the link there leads directly to the Red Cross. I can think of a reason why anyone might want to go via the White House. That way they can be absolutely sure they're clicking on the Red Cross and not a fake site set up to exploit the tragedy.

But let me be sure I have this right. You and Justin agree that Obama might steal money intended for the Red Cross to help the wretched of Haiti.

This conversation came 48 hours after many of us had seen pitiful sights from Port au Prince. Tens of thousands are believed still alive beneath the rubble. You twisted their suffering into an opportunity to demean the character of the President of the United States.

This cannot have been an accident. A day earlier, in a sound bite from your show, you said "this will play right into Obama's hands. He's humanitarian, compassionate. They'll use this to burnish their, shall we say, 'credibility' with the black community — in the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It's made-to-order for them."

Setting aside your riff on Harry Reid, consider what you imply. Obama will aid Haiti to please African-Americans. Haiti has lost untold thousands of lives. One third of the population has lost its homes. Countless people are still buried in the rubble. Every American president would act quickly to help our neighbor. You are so cynical and heartless as to explain Obama's action in a way that unpleasantly suggests how your mind works.

You have a sizable listening audience. You apparently know how to please them. Anybody given a $400 million contract must know what he is doing.

That's what offends me. You know exactly what you're doing."

“(CNN) — Pennsylvania authorities say they arrested a former United Nations weapons inspector after he allegedly exchanged sexually explicit online messages with a police officer who was pretending to be a 15-year-old girl.

Scott Ritter, the former top U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, was arrested in November, months after police said he sent sexual messages to a police officer posing as a 15-year-old girl named Emily, the Barrett Township, Pennsylvania, Police Department said in a news release Thursday.

Ritter’s lawyer, Todd Henry, did not immediately respond to CNN’s requests for comment about the arrest, which The Pocono Record first reported on Thursday.

According to an affidavit of probable cause, "delmar4fun" contacted Barrett Township Detective Ryan Venneman — who was posing as "Emily," from Poconos, Pennsylvania — in an online chat room on February 7, 2009, saying he was a 44-year-old man from Albany, New York…” 

  I remember Scott Ritter.  He was big news on TV and was interviewed often on shows like The News Hour and the Charlie Rose show and other news media sites.  He said that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and became a popular anti-war figure.
 
  From Wikipedia: 
“…Ritter was arrested in April 2001[32] and again in June 2001[33][34] in connection with police stings in which officers posed as under-aged girls to arrange meetings of a sexual nature. The first incident did not lead to any charges.[32] He was charged with a misdemeanor crime of "attempted endangerment of the welfare of a child" after the second, but charges were dropped and the record was sealed on condition that he avoid further trouble for a period of time.[32][35] News of the arrests became public after sealed court records were provided anonymously to the press. Ritter claimed that the timing of the leak was a politically motivated effort to distract attention from his statements about Iraq.[33][34][36]

Ritter was arrested again in November 2009[37] over communications with a police decoy he met on an Internet chat site. Police claim that he showed himself masturbating via a web camera after the officer said she was a 15-year-old girl. The next month, he waived his right to a preliminary hearing and was released on $25,000 unsecured bail.[38] Charges included "unlawful contact with a minor, criminal use of a communications facility, corruption of minors, indecent exposure, possessing instruments of crime, criminal attempt and criminal solicitation".[39] Ritter faces up to seven years in prison.

  He says that they are sinners and that the need to turn to God and then things may get better for Haiti.
  Because he is part of the right wing God wacky group he is allowed to keep on pouring out this crap.
