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.

  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.
  It might be good if she and her baby could get away from her father and mother and be on their own.

  I did a little checking on the Internet and I am not a news media organization and I do not have a staff and I am just a retired night watchman so keep that in mind.
  I did a little checking on the Fox News web site and the CNN web site.  I sort of looked at them side by side.  Now keep in mind this is not a study or comment about their cable channels.  This was looking at their web sites.  Take it for what it is worth.

  Web site        Traffic Rank     US Traffic Rank    Linking Sites

  Fox News            211                         37                    35,406
  CNN                      60                          17                    85,968
  Looks like CNN is the big winner when it comes to web sites.
  Now in the world CNN is by far the leader and that should not surprise any of us.
  Just as an example in China CNN is ranked 561 and Fox is 5,815.

  I would not comment on Joe Scarborough appearing as a guest on a TV show last night but I had just posted about him here yesterday morning.
  I try and watch each night the Charlie Rose show.  I am a fan of the show.
  Last night Charlie Rose had a show about President Obama and the current events and one of the three guest was Joe Scarborough.  Charlie Rose is a great interviewer and he is on top of the subjects and just does a great show.  Well last night Joe Scarborough just came across dull, un-interesting with nothing worthwhile to say.  He had nothing to add to the show. 
  He also comes across like like the person that he is … not a very nice guy.. He is sort of rude and acts like he is a know it all.
  If I was Charlie Rose I would never have him on the show again.

Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson said some horrific things after the earthquake in Haiti. This is Keith Olbermann’s response to their utter lack of humanity.

Popularity: 3% [?]

Pat Robertson is a sick old man.  I think old age has taken what few brain cells he every had…  Pat Robertson says right on TV that the people of Haiti made a pack with the devil.  He says that is the reason that things have been so bad in Haiti and that is the reason for the current event in Haiti.
  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.
  Someone needs to just come and take him away and put him in a mental hospital.

  Pat Robertson is just a sick evil man and if you want to see the face of the devil just look at him.

  I ran the digital box scan and came up with about 60 channels of digital over the air TV stations here in Fort Worth (76116).  Now many of those were a signal but no television shows and some just had a test screen up and I guess they will add shows later.
  Many of those were Spanish speaking stations and many were church channels.
  So right now I am not sure just how many of those channels I can find anything on to watch.  But I do have TV now.  I can get the news, weather and the main over the air networks.

  I am sure you have been tired of reading my posts that I do not watch TV and do not even own a TV set. 
  I have sort of loved it.  It sort of made me feel better than all the rest of you.  Smile
  I can not say it anymore.  Bummer

  Jimmy gave me their extra TV, the digital box I sent them from Miami and a set of rabbit ears.

  That is not the photo I wanted to post here.  Smile but I do like the above photo.
Oh I see what I did… I took a photo of my room with the TV set but I over wrote it with the above photo.  Oh well.. I will take a photo some other time.  It is just after 0300 and no telling what errors I might make at this time in the morning.

  When I wake up today I will give the over the air digital box and TV set a try and see what it is like.  It looks like a lot of digital channels.  I mean digital as in over the air … You know what I mean.

  I love movies.  I have loved them all my life.  When I was in grade school there was a time when my friends and I would go to the movie theater (and not at a mall) two times a week.  We went on Friday night and Sunday afternoon.
 
  When “At the Movies”  with Siskel and Elbert was on TV I would watch that show all the time.  When Gene Siskel died in 1999 I watched the show less often and over time it was just less and less that I watched it.
  Roger Ebert has his blog on the Chicago Sun-Times site.  (I got a feeling he would object to calling it a blog.)  It is excellent.  I wish I could write the way he writes. Check out his column.  You may want to start with this journal post “Time keeps on slip, slip, slippin’ away.”

  I still love movies and I miss Siskel and Ebert on their set on TV doing “At the Movies.” 
  It is strange you can have a TV show and you think it is just a simple little easy show but you like it and something happens and the show is never the same.  No matter how someone tries they can never get back that divine spark.

  This sucks… More snow in Fort Worth.  Today is December 29th of 2009.  I have been here about a month and a half.  I was in Miami FL for five years.  My son sent me an email from Miami the other day … He was out riding his bike for five hours and got a bad sun burn. 
  I am not going to get a sun burn that is for sure.

  My ex-wife (Darlene) signed up for a dish to get TV.  She enjoys watching TV.  She is getting the dish installed for $15.00 and will get 200 channels for $30.00 a month for one year.  After that it is $60.00 a month. 
  I wonder if they allow dish antennas installed at this apartment complex.  I have seen a couple of them but they might have been installed for a long time and they might have a new rule that you can not have them.  I she will find out.
  I think 200 channels for $30.00 a month is an excellent deal. 

  Update:  12/30/2009  They allow dish antennas here but there is a $150.00 deposit that you have to pay.  Also they only allow the antenna on the patio or fence not on the roof.  Darlene can not get dish satellite TV since the dish could not hit the satellite.
                   She canceled the dish TV and called Charter Communications.  She is going to get TV, phone service and Internet service from them.  She will pay $120.00 a month.  She canceled her AT&T phone service and DSL service.   Charter will do the "install" on Saturday.

  A few hours ago I logged into TMZ and saw the above photo.  I read the story about TMZ had just got the photo of President John F. Kennedy on a boat filled with nude woman.
  TMZ said the photo was real and not a fake and that they had their "experts" study the photo and they all said it was real and not a fake and not a PhotoShop photo.
  Well they now admit it was a fake.  The photo is from a 1967 Playboy photo shoot.
  If I were TMZ I would take my "TMZ" logo off the fake photo right now.
  I would also NEVER use those "experts" again.
  Truth is I think most experts and even ones that go into our can not be trusted. I do not believe hand writing "experts", voice "experts", lie detection "experts" and all the rest of them.  I think we have a problem in court with "expert" witness giving information.  We need to do something about it. 

  I will still be reading TMZ.  They have a pretty good record of stealing private medical records and doing all sorts of things like that… OH sorry.. They do not steal the information they just buy it from people that steal it.

  I was alive when John F. Kennedy will killed.  That was the most painful time of my life.  I fear it had a great effect on my life.  JFK was the first president that I voted for … I am not going to tell you how many years went by before I voted for another president.  That is not something that you ever want to have happen.  No matter who the president is… That sort of thing should not happen in the United States.  It just is so anti-American.. So un-American..Our system of government is great…We are not some third world banana republic.
  I have, and I am sure I am not the only one, great fear right now that something bad may happen…We have a high number of threats against President Obama.  We all have seen and heard the most hateful untrue things being said about him and we even have a major television channel (Faux "news") that says the most crazy insane stupid things 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
  We have people showing up at political events with weapons.  We have people with signs and t-shirts calling for the death of the President of the United States and some of them are armed. 
  Now we have a reality TV couple walking into a White House state dinner. If they get away with it there will be other people trying the same thing for different reasons. 
  If they can be charged with some crime I hope they do so.  I hope a judge and jury give them the MAXIMUM sentence.  We need to send a message that all of this is not a game else it will become the thing to do and a way to get you on TV and interviews and book sales.  If I were the judge and if it were legal I would put them into jail for so long that when they came out Obama would be in IL working on his presidential library.

  It looks like we are all going to get what we want soon…We want Richard Heene arrested.  The police searched his home and the police have said they are going to charge him.  As I said here…I think all they can charge him with is making a false police report.  If he is found guilty…Which I am sure he will be…Then, I think, agencies and people can take him to court and collect their costs…That is what will hurt him.  He could be working the rest of his life just to pay off those costs. 
  Man do we hate this guy.  
  I think we hate him so much because of the hoax and scam he pulled on us.  We want to see him in handcuff if only for a few minutes. 
  The police do not need to send a SWAT team and toss him on the ground…I do not want to see his kids crying and yelling “don’t hurt daddy” etc.  They can ask him to come to the police station and we can be happy to just see a mug shot of him with a number on it.
  I will be glad when we do not hear any more about this guy.

  I did not even want to get comment about the “balloon boy” story… But my God just how stupid can these people be?  
  They released a video of the balloon going up by accident.  There is no boy in a little box under it.  You see it is just as it was when it landed.
   Not only that…  OH HELL… watch the video and tell me how stupid are these people.  Plus they been doing ever interview they can on TV and their little boy has been sick right on camera and they just keep doing the interview.

  CNN has a ten question quiz of the week.  I only got 6 out of 10.  I am sort of news junky so I am surprised.
  Was the balloon boy a hoax? 

    It is  0345 hours and I just now watched the clip above for the first time.  I watched all of the balloon event yesterday but after he was safe I did not watch any more TV.
    Then I saw lots of blogs reporting that it was a hoax. 
    They all mention this interview.  So I just got around to watching it.  I think it was a hoax.  They do not look truthful to me. 
    I hope they get interview by the FBI.  If you lie to a local or state police officer it is not a crime.  Of course it is a crime to make a false police report. 
    I do not agree with the federal law that makes it a crime to lie to an FBI agent.  I think if the police are asking you questions you should be allowed to lie.  Hell back about ten years ago a police officer stopped me for speeding and asked if I had my seat belt on…I did not have it on but I lied and said that I did. 
   But since the law is the way it is…I think the FBI should interview the husband and wife and if they lie they should go to jail.
   I smell a rat.  I think daddy looks like a rat if you ask me.  Smile

  We all have been watching the balloon in the air … We all were very happy to see it come down so soft … But then no boy…
  I switched between all of the cable channels…

  Fox news was the only one talking HOAX. 
  Right now … we do not have word about the boy…
  Fox “news” should not be talking hoax at this time…
  It could be…  But to talk about it at this time.. is just sick… But it is what we see from Fox “news” all the time..
  Wonder if they can blame President Obama for this?

  The big news today is going to be David Letterman.  You can read the story on CNN “Letterman reveals affairs with staff, extortion attempt.”

On his October 1, 2009 show, Letterman revealed that he had been the victim of an extortion attempt. The perpetrator demanded $2 million not to reveal that Letterman had been sexually involved with several female staffers. Letterman said he wrote a phony check to the man for $2 million as part of the investigation process. The perpetrator was arrested and Letterman testified to the affairs in front of a grand jury. During the testimony, Letterman acknowledged that he did have affairs with staff. During the show, he said "Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would." "I feel like I need to protect these people—I need to certainly protect my family…” Wikipedia

  I hate to pile on David Letterman because I know that Faux News is going to be spending all day today and for a long time hammering him.  David Letterman is liberal and the right wing has not been happy about that for a long time.  Now they got something they can scream about.
  So I hate to do anything that gives any support to Faux News and their insane supporters.
  But if David Letterman wanted to “protect” his staff and family he should have kept his dick in his pants.  “His” staff did not sleep with him because he was so good looking…They laid down for him because he was the boss and had the power.  He used them…Sure they were trying to use him…But he was their supervisor in a position of power over them.
