Thanks.

I know this isn’t the point of the post, but I haven’t watched a red carpet thing in years. Which is the celebrity in the lead photo? I recognize Ryan Seacrest, but he can go either way and I don’t recognize to whom he’s speaking.

It has to be a conflicting time in north-central West Virginia. A lot of people there are as pro-gun as they come, but it’s also where the federal government does the background checks, so most of those 230 jobs will be going to their community along with all the trickle-down that entails.

Wow! Good find. Judging from the post, it’s probably not be surprising the Usenet user missed the nuance in Leeza’s, “I’m sure that’s not it”.

My guess is that they came to a mutual understanding. Gibbons was probably pissed because Tesh had made her look quite small and I doubt he was going to walk back what he said. I assume that because he was at a pretty good place in his life and reportedly considered television hosting his second job, they all just…

It gave me a lot of respect for John Tesh. I had always thought he was better than adequate on Entertainment Tonight and the concept of his Red Rocks performance was pretty grand —though I’ve never actually watched the thing — but on that day on live television, he drew a line in the sand and there was a bridge he…

Before there was Leeza, she co-hosted a mid-day chat show with John Tesh that was modeled after the Regis & Kathie Lee format. On what was (I’m pretty certain) their final live show with both co-hosts, the guest was supposed to be Ivana Trump, who had been going through her public divorce and was slated to promote her…

I don’t know if it’s still true (and am too lazy to look), but a few years ago when Nathan Fillion won (or placed) in some kind of Twitter popularity contest, I looked through those he followed and the whole cast was there except for Baldwin. By that time I had long been aware of his political leanings because he’d…

Was this the general contractor? If so, the perpetrator should spend a more time watching Little Mosque on the Prairie, then he’d know that Yasir rents the space.

In addition to people trying not to go to the hospital around the holidays, deductibles on health insurance might be another factor. If you hadn’t made your deductible for the calendar year and you don’t think the tests will be enough to get past the threshold, a person might be motivated to put off going to the…

That’s sort of similar to one spouse dying shortly after the other. I’m sure there’s no scientific basis, but it makes sense to me.

Somebody over on the Paleofuture post listing the 156 episodes said SyFy is losing wrestling next week. It’s moving to USA.

One for the Oldes: Remember watching Guy Lombardo and his orchestra on New Year’s Eve and how great it was when Dick Clark launched his “Rockin’” on another channel? Finally, the kids had something to watch.

In 2001. Spade would have been in the fourth year of a popular sitcom (Just Shoot Me) and it was when he released the original Joe Dirt. He’s never been A-list for sure, but that would have probably been his peak on the B.

I hadn’t heard of Field Trip. The reviews and sales blurb makes it appear to be more business (ad) and maybe urban oriented than what’s implied by a Wikipedia-based app, but I don’t have a iPhone. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll give it a try.

The low failure rate and cost of returns is probably less expensive than having a fulltime staff checking every game. Earlier this holiday season I bought several extension cords from a major retailer. One of them didn’t work, so I took it back to the store and exchanged it for another. Sometimes even new stuff is…

Somerset Place in North Carolina has preserved and reconstructed some of the slave dwellings and have interpretive materials. It’s not much, a lot of things from that period were destroyed or people thought were better forgotten, but there is something a state-supported museum in eastern North Carolina that’s worth vis…

I’m sure there are some my age who would sing into that little mic on their cassette recorder and who would happily make copies for their friends. Technology has just given us a more efficient way to make a better recording and multiple distribution networks. Cyrus’ tune was helped by her fame — the song has been…

It sounds like she wrote it in the car on her ride home and the wonderful thing about modern technology is that instead of it just being something she sings to herself or along with friends, she can upload it to the web and share it with everyone else, including some who could relate.

While there may not have been any love lost between Sorkin and TWoP, he was also associated with a swipe toward Defamer and was taking swings at bloggers in general at the time. There’s a lot of history there.
