US Americans



I'm sure most of you have already seen or heard about Miss Teen South Carolina. I think this proves that Americans are the dumbest people on the planet.

Power Surge



The Texas Rangers blasted the Baltimore Orioles today scoring 30 runs! That is the most runs recorded by one team since 1897.

El Presidente



Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is proposing a radical overhaul of his country's constitution. Virtually unopposed, it is certain that Chavez will get his way. His constitutional reform will include perpetual re-election for himself. So, until he dies naturally or if some staff aide shoots him in the back (pray for the latter) it will be a dark time for this oil-rich country.

At the end of a recent speech, Chavez said, "I doubt there is any country on this planet with a democracy more alive than the one we enjoy in Venezuela today."


FYI: CITGO and VALERO Gas is affliated with the Venezuelan government which can be tied to Chavez. Don't go there.

Chocolate Rain



Tay Zonday is a phenomenon. His video Chocolate Rain is becoming one of the most viewed videos in YouTube's history. Adding to his fame is the proliferation of copycat videos.

Hal Fishman (1931 - 2007)



From the earliest age, I have always enjoyed watching the news. On August 7th, 2007 long time KTLA anchorman Hal Fishman died from cancer. Known as the "Flying Professor" for his love of flying and his days as a professor of political science, Hal Fishman was a fixture on Los Angeles tv since 1965.

I would often watch KTLA at 10 pm usually on tuesdays after a long day of work and school. I always liked Hal's honesty and old fashioned work ethic. He was very precise and it was clear to all that he valued and loved his job. Despite his age, it always amazed me that Hal never lost his relevance and embraced change. Hal was a fixture and I always felt that he was delivering the news directly to me as if he were in the same room.

LA will be different without the steady leadership and vigliance of Hal Fishman. Some have compared Hal as the Chick Hearn of newsbroadcasting. When Hal was not behind the anchor desk, you knew something was wrong. And just like Chick Hearn, Hal did not retire and lived his final days doing the thing he love the most.

A standard that will never be matched, Hal's legacy will be the dedication, desire, honesty, and integrity he brought to the evening news.

Now Featuring: Ratatouille at Angel Stadium


In today's OC Register, it is reported that within the last 2 1/2 years, the OC Department of Health has cited Angel Stadium for 118 vermin violations. Angel's VP of Communications Tim Mead confirmed that cleaning crews wait at least 12 hours after each game to clean the entire stadium. Unclean dishes, pots, utensils remain unwashed and garbage litter the stands for at least half a day!!!! In my mind, this is totally unacceptable. By comparasion, Petco Park in San Diego and Dodger Stadium immediatly clean their facitilites.

I point the finger at the Arte Moreno for awarding the food contract to Aramark. Aramark employees are a disgrace. I would venture to say that they were the lowest bidder and we are now reaping the fruit. I was recently at Dodger Stadium and I honestly thought to myself how nice the stadium looked. I have also been to Petco Park and their concession clerks are very approachable and helpful unlike the skid row employees at Angel Stadium.
