Update on Mr. Peeps
First part of tame cardinal story here
Mr. Peeps is getting so much bigger.
He is playing with bird seed but I am not sure how much he is eating.
I am not sure if he has figured out how to crack the seed yet.
I cracked some sunflower seeds for him and hand fed him just the good stuff.
He takes it and rolls it around in his mouth and drops it.
He loves spinach but again, I am not sure how much he eats.
But it sure is a great toy for him.
We also have been feeding him some wet bread.
We stared by hand feeding it to him, but now we put it in a dish.
That he eats but he loves to be hand fed.
And by the way so do I!
He is getting a lot redder, it looks like someone spray painted him.
Getting Along With Your Team and Thoughts on The Donald
This past week’s episode of The Apprentice certainly hit the viewing audience over the head with the “point”. The suspenseful ending left that same audience knowing the “point” would come to fruition in next week’s climactic ending.
The point being one should get along and play well with others else they’ll come back and bite you somewhere that will make comfortable seating difficult.
Before this, however, I simply must pass along some comments on The Donald.
Because I happened to see Mr. Trump on MSNBC’s “Hardball” right before The Apprentice went on the air.
The Donald was complaining to Chris Matthews about the proposed new design for New York’s World Trade Center site.
Which is all fine but then The Donald began to do what The Donald loves to do and I once again realized why I consider that man a bit pathetic.
Face it. The Donald’s not much of an entrepreneur no matter his own hype. He inherited his businesses from his father and since hasn’t broken any records with his managing finesse.
Yes I know the man wrote “The Art of the Deal” and once teetered on the verge of bankruptcy from which he eventually recovered.
What isn’t widely known is that the Trump empire is constantly in a shaky financial position. Many of the Trump businesses have folded with little fanfare. Any new ones he’s started have failed to burst through the business world with an amazing blast of shining light.
This is not to say that the Trump businesses haven’t fared well. That’s just the point. They fared only “well” and not with any sort of fantastic success as The Donald would have the world believe.
What The Donald DOES do very well, what he does very, very well, is the fine art of bullshitting.
His TV show, The Apprentice, has been a phenomenal success. The man knows how to drape a beautiful woman over his arm and manages to wear the most ridiculous hairstyle in the history of mankind as if only he were qualified to do so. I’ve seen The Donald on a few shows such as Hardball. He always manages to hype his show, himself and his business. And he does it very well.
Myself has never really heard The Donald utter any deep thoughts with any gravitas. During the last presidential election, Trump was often a guest on the political shows but always managed to avoid taking any stand.
The Donald also does one other thing better than any human on the planet. Indeed, Donald Trump is a magnificent name dropper.
On Hardball he managed to mention that the Governor of New York would be on his show that evening. Watch him closely during his show. He will always inform the Apprentice would-be’s about the famous and important: business enterprises, famous CEOs, world-class athletes, or classy socialites-insert any choice here- that will participate in the impending Apprentice task.
I am reminded of a blind item posted just recently on my blog Gossip, Speculation, Rumination.
It was a blind item so there’s no guarantee that the answer is Donald Trump.
Which famously wealthy absentee father told his young daughter at a recent reunion: "Honey, I had dinner with Harvey Weinstein last night. Do you know who that is?" Sniped his (also famous) ex-wife: "What a schmuck! She's 10 years old - do you think she's going to know who Harvey Weinstein is?"
The popular guess is that the “absentee father” referred to is Donald Trump and the sniping ex-wife is Marla Maples.
Assuming that The Donald is the Dad bragging about his lunch with Harvey Weinstein, well it has to be The Donald. It’s so like him.
We must also note that The Donald does take an opportunity to invite the wide-eyed Apprentices to his apartment at least once during each season. Which gives us, the wannabes, a chance to see the opulence in which he is surrounded.
The Donald’s apartment is The Donald personified. Every nook and cranny is covered, painted, or gilded with gold, luxurious fabric, and ornate cornices. I must wonder how anyone could ever be comfortable in it.
This is all not to say that Donald Trump is to be denied or somehow doesn’t deserve his fame and fortune. God Bless America. The man works at hyping his nothingness and does it well. He knows how to manipulate the media and he knows that hobnobbing with the right sort of folk will always lend an aura of importance, deserved or undeserved.
I’m betting The Donald will never be in the company of the likes of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld.
Anyway, after this past episode, the next to the last, any fool can plainly see that Tana is a boob of the highest order. In fact, I must brag here, during the Boardroom after Tana treated her team mates horrifically, Tana was taken to task for mentioning the idiotry of her team mate’s, referring to them in Carolyn’s presence as “stooges”. It was a dumb and classless thing for Tana to do and it was handsomely mentioned in my Apprentice post this past week.
HERE
Kendra, on the other hand, was adored by her team mates and went on to do a much better job than Tana.
We are left at the end with the picture of each of the two women’s team mates on the final challenge as they marched into the Board room. The audience, if they’ve been paying attention, has to know that Tana’s about to get a trashing as Kendra will be praised for the leader she is.
I’m predicting Kendra, hands down.
