So, And Thus...

Garry Shandling Looks Great!

Garry Shandling was on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien this evening and Garry was hilarious as always. Garry was also saying that after the last appearance he made on television (outside of the security camera in his living room) in the last week or two, many of his so-called friends and others on the Internet stated that his face looked fat and/or puffy. So, to make Garry Shandling feel better I've decided to share that I thought he looked great this evening and his face did not look in anyway fat or puffy. His Afghanistan bit was beyond funny! I laughed so hard!!!!! Watch and enjoy.

Will you keep your hat on all day?

Here you have it: The cover for Sarah Palin's memoir.

The book, originally planned for next spring, is coming out Nov. 17 with an announced first printing of 1.5 million copies. Palin and collaborator Lynn Vincent finished "Going Rogue" just two months after Palin's resignation as governor.

Will this be found under the "Humor" section? Or perhaps "Fiction", since she's obviously doesn't live in our world?

To the Osos.  Enjoy all your paper gifts this first year.  Might I suggest comic books for El Marveloso ?

I used to love this show when I was a kid. Maybe it was the girls' hairstyles?

Something tells me that they are not going to use that famous question, "What was the strangest place you've ever made whoopee?"

NEW YORK (AP) -- "The Newlywed Game" is bringing on its first gay couple.

It's a celebrity duo for the long-running game show, now on the GSN cable network. George Takei, who played Mr. Sulu on "Star Trek," will appear with his partner, Brad Altman. They just celebrated their first anniversary after being married in Los Angeles.

Takei and Altman have been together for 22 years, so they're nothing like the giggly young couples who appeared on the first version of the show.

Well, Serena's outburst was all over the sports news last night and this morning.

For those of you who do not know what happened, Serena lost her semifinal match to Kim Clijsters after being awarded a penalty point on match point. (video). She had received a warning earlier in the match for racket abuse, which ultimately lead to her penalty.

It's really hard to tell if there was a foot fault from the angle of the camera, but I did see the front of her foot come down and pivot where the line seems to be.


Regardless of the fault, I agree with the tournament referee's decision. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior. And Serena's press conference did nothing to convince me otherwise.

NEW YORK – Serena Williams is set to become the subject of an in-depth investigation after launching into a profane outburst that prompted her exit out of the U.S. Open.

Yahoo! Sports has learned that Williams will be asked to explain her actions and comments toward a female line judge at the end of her semifinal defeat to Kim Clijsters on Saturday night. A source revealed that representatives from tennis’ governing body – the International Tennis Federation – plus members of the Grand Slam Committee, which oversees the four major tournaments – will convene along with U.S. Open referee Brian Earley on Sunday.

The group is expected to review video footage of the incident, seek clarification from the line judge and most likely hand down a heavy fine to Williams. A representative from the WTA Tour is also expected to be included, although the Tour does not have jurisdiction over Grand Slam events.

Happy Birthday to my Honey! Love ya.

CEO of Whole Foods, John Mackey, is trying to stop health care reform by suggesting that any reform would be socialism.  He wrote an opinion piece which you can find on the Wall Street Journal website.  The link below is from Americablog and their post on Mr. Mackey.

There is nothing quite like a multi-millionaire or billionaire, suggesting that all Americans should just accept the status quo when it comes to health care.  I am unemployed and do not have health insurance so I often do not go to the doctor when I am feeling ill or am in pain.  I just can't afford to go.  Almost all my friends are lucky enough to have health insurance, however, they are all complaining about how their plan rates are increasing at a time when they are not seeing increases in their salaries.  They also complain about greater restrictions on what their policies will cover.

Most people have been hit hard by this downturn in the economy but CEO's of companies, like Mr. Mackey and those who head the insurance companies have not been hit hard at all.  Do they ever have to delay seeing a doctor because they can't afford it?  Are they worried about where the money for a loved one's medication is going to come from?  Do they experience sleepless nights thinking how a chronic illness could drive them into bankruptcy?  Are they rejected from receiving health insurance because of a pre-existing condition?

Think about all of our fellow Americans who are unemployed.  Think of their children.  Think about all of our fellow Americans who are fortunate enough to have employment but are seeing their health plan rates increase.  Imagine what it's like for those who have to decide whether to pay their expensive health insurance rates or pay their mortgage/rent, food, or utility bills. 

We need health care reform so that those who don't have the money to see a doctor can affordably get medical help.

We need health care reform to ensure that insurance companies don't raise their rates, just to fill their billionaire pockets. 

We need health care reform so that people can afford to keep the health insurance that they have.

We need health care reform so insurance companies can't deny an American coverage because of any "pre-existing" condition. 

We need health care reform so insurance companies can't tell any American that they have exceeded their insurance limits and will be denied care. 

We need health care reform to help our fellow Americans; our mothers, our fathers, our sisters, our brothers, our children, and our neighbors. 

All American should have the right to health and the right to health care. 

We need health care reform, NOW! 

I will not make any purchases at Whole Foods - I'm boycotting the store.  I will not give one penny of my money to a millionaire/billionaire who wants to deny Americans affordable health care.

Who needs coffee when you've got pics of Jon Hamm!!  Not only am I now awake, but I think it's getting a little warm in here.  Whew!!! 

I'd prefer him in person, however, this is probably as close as I'll get.

There are two more great pics at the following link at HuffPost Entertainment section...ENJOY!
