Paris Hilton - "Our Secret Weapon!"

So, recruitment for the military is down. Military casualties are, no doubt, the reason. Sad to say, it comes with the territory. After all, what is the mission of the military?

So, the immediate problem is recruitment. Enter Paris Hilton. She has done so well at "selling" herself, wouldn't she be a success in selling recruitment for the military? As far as the content of the commercial, you can use your imagination...

Hey DOD, are you listening?

Paris Hilton - Secret Weapon?

Saddam In His Undies

Well, what do you think? Of course, it's a sleezy way to sell newspapers. And it does SELL newspapers. I guess if you are offended by it, you don't have to buy the paper. You can cancel your subscription to the Sun, and Newsweek,while you're at it.

Were Saddam's rights violated? Who took the picture? These questions will be answered, soon. The real guilty party, here, if there is indeed a guilty party, is the person or people who profited from this. Not a big deal to me.

I should mention that the photo is copyrited by The Sun. It is being used without permission and will be removed if necessary.
Briefs, not boxers

Newsweek

Maybe they should have flushed Newsweek down the toilet.

$4,000 Per Pitch

I was watching Andy Rooney, last night, on 60 Minutes. Rooney was complaining about the high salaries of big name atheletes. What he didn't do is find blame for the situation. WE are to blame. WE, who pay $7 for a beer at the ball park. WE who pay the high ticket prices. WE who pay to watch games on TV. It wasn't always this way. I remember paying $.75 for a bleecher seat at Yankee Stadium to see Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, etc. play. EVERY home game was on (free) TV along with most of the away games. A game lasted about 2 hours. Oh, and everyone was making money!

So, don't blame the owners. If they did not have the money, they wouldn't be able to pay people like Randy Johnson $4,000 each time he throws a pitch! The money comes from the paying fans.

Army Pfc. Lynndie R. England

Hey, Lynndie, you disgust me! You cheapen the good name of our fighting forces and the good name of every American. What the hell do you use for brains?

This is what happens when you ask a little girl to do an adult's job! Your punnishment will not be severe enough.

Hey, Marysol, Small World!

Man, you could have knocked me over with a feather. Sunday morning, I'm watching "Good Morning America" and their Weekend Window feature comes on. This is the feature where they show the sun setting on some exotic locale. This week they decided to begin showing where the various anchors grew up. Marysol was chosen. She's from the Bronx. I did not know this. Until now, I thought she was from Far Rockaway or Sheepshead Bay or some place like that.

Back to the TV, She is narrating the piece and is seen walking down the steps of the Subway platform at 241st Street at White Plains Road. I almost fell out of my chair! I used to live there! (Well, within a mile of there.) She talks about growing up on Baychester Avenue in the Bronx...hell, I used to work a couple of blocks away in Mt. Vernon. It's been more than 24 hours since I saw the piece on TV and I still can't get over it! Maybe I think too much of Marysol or maybe not enough of the old neighborhood. I can't remember when I was ever as surprised as I am now.
