Why, then, Bret Baier, didn't your show producers use SPELLCHECK? It's a nifty little tool, easy to identify, too. It's usually in a corner of the screen, and it says SPELL CHECKER. I suggest your people use it.
Yes, spelling is THAT important.

Spelling Really Is THAT Important.
I love the FOX News Network. Are you kidding, I was practically weened on The No Spin Zone, and I thoroughly enjoy Studio B. I even keep tabs on the various abuse to poor Carl Cameron (which I find highly entertaining in a sick sort of way).

Sell It Like Soap...
I love this idea. The thought that we can promote peace together through art, photographs, our way of thinking... Lord knows what else... is a beautiful prospect.
I wish the masterminds behind this project all the luck in the world, and that they may spread the word about what some of us already know!
I tell you what though, I cannot think of two more inspirational people to add to a post about peace than John & Yoko. So enjoy some fabulous footage of the Lennons during the Bed-Ins for peace, 1969.

Fireman Radio... Dubbya. Tee. Eff.
As my tiny fingers fly across the keys of my beloved HP laptop, Paul McCartney's Fireman Radio on Sirius/XM is playing Jet for the 4th time today. Before that, they played Sing The Changes three times.
WHY?!?! Why in Aunt Effie's sake are they repeating themselves? WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY?!?!?!?!!? It's so silly. The man's got hundreds of songs. Really. Hundreds. And they're his GOOD songs, not the experimental, or weird... the melodic genius you think of when you hear Paul McCartney.
Don't get me wrong, Jet is one of those "God, this is good and I don't know WHY" songs, and when it comes on the radio you crank up the volume, sing along, maybe even do that little punch-the-air move (and it's a mindblowing experience live, too).
I just don't understand. I can see why they play The Fireman stuff... it's Fireman radio, after all. But it's like they put Wingspan Hits and History on repeat, threw in waaaaay too many bumpers, and play Auraveda twice in an afternoon (among other annoying Fireman tracks).
Let's just say, DON'T waste your 14 day free trial on Sirius for this. Go out and buy Red Rose Speedway instead. You'll thank me later.
And while I'm at it, I'll add a song to this post. I haven't heard it on the radio station yet, and it's all too often overlooked, not to mention one of the best tracks of the aforementioned album.
P.S. We're on Band On The Run (also a humbling live experience) #5 for the day. I can't handle much more!

Senator Scaryface On Music...
I have tried to make it very clear Hillary Clinton scares me. That's because she does. If you're in your right mind, she will scare the socks off you. So imagine my surprise when I listen to my latest Beatles Minute podcast, only to find out it's all about how the New York Senator love The Beatles. Here's a clip from Anderson Cooper...
Oh, that freaky lady...
I think this calls for a little PAUL!
(Isn't it funny that every time he gets political, the song gets banned? What a gas. If they'd done that with all of John's political stuff, he'd have only had about an album's worth of material suitable for radio play!)

One Is The Loneliest Number...
OK, so while I was snooping about the Internet last night, I found this website where you type in somebody's name, and they give a short biography, who was born/died on this date, etc. If you need information in a hurry, I suppose it's OK. The only problem is, I was searching under 'birthplace', and I noticed United Kingdom only had 1 entry.
I must say, it's a pretty sad website if the only person they've figured out was born in the UK is Peaches Geldof.
Although, if you type somebody from the UK in, it WILL come up... it just doesn't come up under 'birthplace'.
Another oddity makes it's way here.
And now, for something completely different.
(I have witnessed this particular show in person, and there is NOTHING more purely Vegas than that.)

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life...
I was reading the Union Jack Online just now, when I came across this fabulous little tidbit. I love that useless rubbish.
Time for a little whimsy!
Personally, if I died tomorrow, I'd want this played...

Barbies, Kryptonite, and Gore-Lieberman. Call The Funnyfarm.
This is one of the dumbest videos I've seen. Really. You can tell that when Mr. Schmuck made this, he was trying to be funny, but was most likely just having fun playing with Barbie dollies, wearing his boxers and Gore-Lieberman shirt, and flipping between American Idol and Wife Swap on TiVo. (Either that, or my lack of American humor is blinding the funny haha.)
Why then, you may ask, am I putting it up on my blog?
Give it a listen, you tell me.
How and why did he do that?
Odd. Although, so is this.
You know, until I got the idea of putting that song on this post, I hadn't ever seen the video for it... afterwards, I feel it's a perfect candidate for the theme of 'odd', don't you?
My, doesn't that bring back memories, sister o'mine?

Sybil : Part Two...
If you want to be thoroughly freaked out (I mean, scare the frickin' pants right off ya, clutch your teddy bear, suck your thumb, hide under the covers, sleep with the lights on freaked out), watch Sybil. It is the most disturbing film you may ever see. If I may ask, WHY then did they remake it? I'm sitting there, watching The Golden Girls on Lifetime, and what comes on during the adverts? A commercial for the new Sybil. Wasn't it freaky enough the FIRST time? Wasn't the BOOK enough for 'em?
Apparently not, since they've already done it.
Now I get to watch Sybil ads until the damn thing airs. Yippee skip.
Well, this was a depressing topic, let's change the subject.
How'sa 'bout them llamas?

A VU Of The Rat Pack...
Firstly, I'd like to get the fangirling over with. I got a new cell phone yesterday (an LG VU), and I'm loving it so far. I figured it out in the car on the way home from Amarillo last night, and I've already showed the rest of the family what they need to know. The only thing I have to figure out is how to put on personalized ringtones ('cause I WANTS 'em), but I'll figure it out soon enough.
Now, on to the event of the evening, The Rat Pack Is Back!
We took this handsome devil along with us...
And I think he had a good time! (I luvs dat man.)
My synopsis is as follows; Dean Martin impersonator... well, he was impersonating Dean Martin after all. How do you impersonate someone so spot on? (He tried, he really did... he just didn't hit it.) He was Grandy's favorite, but Grandy's terribly deaf.
Sammy Davis Jr. impersonator... I've never been a Sammy Davis fan, but this guy was GOOD. The highlight of the evening was when he went up to the drum kit for a solo. A+ there!
Joey Bishop impersonator... I don't honestly know enough about the real Joey Bishop to have an opinion, but I've been told to rest assured, he was GREAT. And he added to the show, made it fun, you know.
My personal favorite was the Frank Sinatra impersonator. He was the winner of one of those reality TV shows (which I watched, of course), and he deserved to win (not as much as the Little Richard impersonator, but hey, this guy is GOOD). He started off with one of my favorite songs Ol' Blue Eyes did, World On A String...
Overall, it was a fun show, a good time with family, and if they come back to town, we might have to take Grandy again!
In other news, I have to send heaping doses of positive energy to Yoko Ono on this, her date of birth, especially since she's working on her new album today! (I wrote this post out last night, so her birthday was actually yesterday.)
In honor of the special event, the Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland has been lit up, and you can see it LIVE via this webcam.
Happy Birthday, Yoko!

Colonal Sanders Missed Some!
My mother watches puppy webcams on ustream... it's one of her favorite things to do on the Internet. Well, today she found something even I'll have fun watching (even though my favorite webcam is stationed at Lock Ness)...
Ladies and gentlemen, those magnificent examples of fowl pulchritude and luminosity, direct from their global perambulations to the very boards of this supremely magnificent proscenium arch... ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Baby Chicken Webcam. (Congratulations if you got that spiel!)
At first I thought it was going to be a Camilla Parker Bowles webcam, but it actually IS a baby chicken webcam... (so it was a cheap shot, what're you gunna do, sue me?)
Speaking of the Duchess of Cornwall, am I the only person alive that thinks she looks like a chicken?
Maybe she just looks like a chicken because of clips like this...
WHO KNOWS?

Smiling With Electric Faces...
Jerry Mathers as The Beaver...
John Lennon...
And, because I feel like chucking this one in, Carl Cameron...
(He's plotting Shepard Smith's murder...)
Separated at birth, or just another stupid thing to blog about? You be the judge.
And, while we're at it, here's the inspiration for the title of this pointless blog post.
On a totally different train of thought... if you thought it couldn't get much dumber than the Skywriting By Word of Mouth auction from yesterday, this photobucket picture takes the cake.
