Being the dirty dirty liberal that I am, I got a large chuckle out of this.  As you may know, President Bush appeared on Deal or No Deal on Monday’s show, wishing a contestant luck.  The contestant only wound up (prior to the Deal Wheel) with $26,000 so that’s some luck there.  But that’s not [...]

I was at a party on Wednesday and not feeling too well on Thursday. I took some NyQuil to hopefully feel better and I thought it was working. I realized it wasn’t working as well as it should when I saw that the current president, George W. Bush, is going to make a [...]

A lot of game shows were on the major networks Friday.  I was out at a party so I didn’t get to check all of them out, but a few notes.

2: Amne$ia wasn’t as [...]

Was it a huge shock to anyone that My Dad is Better Than Your Dad bombed?  I honestly think (and it’s probably true) that some major Hollywood players, like Mark Burnett, can pitch a show with the flimsiest and, to be honest, dumbest of concepts and get it picked up because that’s the person that’s [...]
