Stat Of The Week

Here’s a stat worth repeating: Americans gave $306.39 billion to charities last year.

Hussein On Patriotism

B. Hussein Obama talks about patriotism.

Barry knows patriotism, like when he voted for desecrating the American flag. Seems like I remember that amendment failing by one vote. Tell us more about patriotism, you ass.

Whitehaven Bust

Memphis police have made a big bust in Whitehaven, where I lived as a kid, turning up $100,000 in stolen goods. Nice job.

The last time I was over there, the Freezeway was for sale! Best ice cream I ever had. Well, except for homemade.

Celebrity Voice-Overs

The latest one I noticed was Ed Harris for Terminix and I knew it was him the first time I heard it.

Alec Baldwin is doing Liquid-Plumr Foaming Pipe Snake spots.

John Corbett is doing Applebee’s.

David Duchovny is doing Pedigree dog food and their pet adoption program spots.

Dabney Coleman for Rent-a-Center

Have you noticed any?    

Headlines

I think the AP news writers are having fun with headlines again…

This Just In…

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled today that foreign enemy combatants held at Gitmo have rights under the U.S. Constitution and can sue in U.S. courts.  If you listen closely, you can hear a bunch of whore attorneys running down there to try to turn them loose.

By all means, just let them out and give them some drivers licenses and some benefits while they prepare to blow the country up.

Dumbasses.

Name That Tune #4

**WINNER**

Cubs Win!

The Cubs beat the Atlanta Braves tonight in a pretty good game. The Cubs blew it out in the eighth with a three-run shot. I believe we will probably hear something from disgruntled Sam shortly.

I enjoy Len and Zippy. They are my favorite sportscasters. I have watched sports broadcasts before where I actually turned the sound down because the broadcasters were obnoxious. Not the case here with Len and Bob. Len Kasper is a fine play-by-play announcer and Bob Zippy adds great color.  They’re a lot of fun.

Previously the Superstation, Chicago’s WGN is now calling itself WGN America, and they are airing great old shows like Bob Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore, The Honeymooners and others.

10-5 Cubs.
