We Can Only Hope
It may be wishful thinking but I think there’s a Katie Couric backlash out here in la-la land. America, ladies and gems, is sick of Katie Couric.
Though I saw Matt Lauer on some show or another declaring that the death of the Today show has been predicted in the past and they’re still going strong.
Hey, it would be icing on the cake if the Today show died along with Couric’s popularity. But we’re not talking the Today show here, Matt. We’re talking about that bitch sidekick of yours, sweet, saccharine Katie.
Sometimes a person gets too full of themselves. Witness the example cited below when Katie’s badminton was deemed more important than breaking international news. As if the capture of Saddam and his subsequent criminal charges were less important than leggy Katie batting a badminton ball.
From the NY Times
But "Today" has turned her popularity into a Marxist-style cult of personality. The camera fixates on Ms. Couric's legs during interviews, she performs in innumerable skits and stunts, and her clowning is given center stage even during news events. "Today" hit a low point in July, when Saddam Hussein appeared in a Baghdad courtroom to hear the charges he will face when he goes to trial as a war criminal. All the networks interrupted their programming to show live images of Mr. Hussein - all except NBC. "Today" stayed on Ms. Couric swatting shuttlecocks with the United States Olympic badminton team.

Under “Breaking News”, Julia Roberts admits That Mothering Twins Can Be Exhausting
What would us idiots out here in la-la land do without such gems of wisdom as this? And poor Julie with her round-the-clock nannies and enough money to buy the twins’ an amusement park, darn it must be tough.
From IOL
Julia Roberts has admitted being a mother of twins can be tiring.
She made the admission at a New York benefit concert for Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang charity, at which Paul McCartney and Robin Williams were among those to perform.
The 37-year-old actress, who is married to cameraman Daniel Moder gave birth to twins Phinnaeus and Hazel in November.

California Dairies Get to Keep Happy Cow Slogan
Can you believe these dolts actually took this court?
From the Washington Times:
A leading animal-rights group has lost its court fight to pull the California milk industry's popular "Happy Cows" television spots over accusations of false advertising. The California Supreme Court refused Wednesday to review an appeal brought by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which sued to stop the national advertising campaign featuring the talking, laid-back cows and their tag line, "Great Cheese Comes From Happy Cows. Happy Cows Come From California."

The Cookie Monster Gets Politically Correct
Here’s hoping Kaitlyn gets a chance to read this and knows what happened to her beloved Cookie Monster.
Poor kid’s only been on the planet a year and a half and already she’s a victim of liberal silly think.
Now, instead of “C” being for “Cookie” we hear that “A Cookie is a Sometimes Food”. Although the Cookie Monster raison d’etre is his cookie monsterhood. He STUFFS cookies into his mouth. Children love him. He’s the guy who gets as many cookies as they’d like to get. A mouth stuffed with cookies, man kids dream this stuff.
To my darling Kaitlyn Mae, know now that Grandmother tried to save the Cookie Monster. But the liberals killed him.
Thus you shall learn my descendant. Thus you shall learn.
Delaware Politicians Travel
Get a load of loudmouth Biden's travel bill.
From Delaware Online
From 2000-2004, Delaware's congressional trio of Biden, Carper and Castle have taken hundreds of trips, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to House and Senate records examined by The News Journal. The trips range from official taxpayer-funded fact-finding missions into war zones, to privately funded trips for speaking engagements or seminars at luxury resorts.
In 2004, for instance, Biden took 16 privately funded trips, worth a total of $48,482. Carper took five paid trips, for a total of $7,740. And Castle took just one, which cost $4,088.
So What's Biden Been Doing on His Jaunts?"
Betraying our country it would seem.
From the American Spectator
In Iran, Biden is known as that theocracy's number one supporter. Every time they look to undercut the American position on Iran, they turn to him," says a U.S. State Department staffer. "He's made us look like fools on the international stage a couple of times in the past few years, even when Clinton was in office."
Biden is believed to have held the meeting in Switzerland not only for the attention it would give him, but also as favor to the Iranian Muslim Association of North America. In 2002, one of the board members of the group, whose members regularly travel to Iran, and whose trips are monitored by U.S. intelligence, held a fundraiser for Biden that raised more than $30,000 for Biden's Senate re-election campaign.
Speaking of Biden
Here's a quote from Biden in 1997, calling for all nominees to get a fair floor vote. So why's he against it now? Oh wait, only DEMOCRATIC nominees get a floor vote, is that how it goes?
From a Republican email:
"I call on Senator Biden to end this political stand-off and return to the standards he claimed to have in 1997 when he said 'everyone who is nominated is entitled to have a shot, to have a hearing and to have a shot to be heard on the floor and have a vote on the floor.' I hope our Senior Senator will do the right thing," Chairman Strine said.
Why?
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?
Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Does a clean house indicate that there is a broken computer in it?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end you first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those closed light fixtures?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right". Well, it isn't all right so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter, why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
Why do you never hear father-in-law jokes?
If at first you don't succeed, shouldn't you try doing it like your wife told you to do it?
And obviously if at first you don't succeed, then don't take up sky diving!
And my FAVORITE......
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends, if they're okay, then it's you.

I no longer watch the Today's Show, Ie the 'Katie-let me show you some leg-Show'. She's run a compliment into an obvious ground. Don't get me wrong, I like nice legs, but she is so pitifully obvious in her exploiting her leg show !.
Her interviews.. well that's another subject, with her "I know that..."... phrase every other sentence. who's she trying to impress, the interviewee , us, or herself ? ?? Goodbye Today Show... Hello Good Morning America
Who cares about Katie Couric? It's obscene what these people are paid to read either news reports or printed questions. It is demoralizing to the rest of us who work hard for our money. How can we stop the press from reporting on her and Paris and Nicole and Britney and all the other spoiled brats we don't care about?
Have you noticed that when Katie interviews someone lately that she puts on her ,I guess "look at me I'm intelligent" glasses ?! Who's she trying to impress? She is a real nitwit when it comes to interviewing ANYONE !. Come on NBC please get her out of there BEFORE this coming Wed. if at all possible, PLEASE !!!!.
Madeleine said: If the average prime time news isn't antiseptic enough and full of sound bites and spins, rather than reporting news, now we have to endure Katie postering as a real news person.
Where are the Dan Rathers, Tom Brokaws, and etc...its not that men do the news best....its that news is mostly serious and should be read to us by credible, thoughtful and intelligent people. I don't view her as being in that category. I will never watch CBS evening news. I have satellite and I will stick with my international news; oh and Andersen Cooper!
I watched Katie today Sept 6, 2005. Sort of a cross between a People Magazine show and a dog walking on its back feet...it is done, but not well. She needs to stop worrying about those twisted pretzel legs she loves to show and go back to Today. By the way, the new eye job looks lousy with her eyes looking like round holes in a pumpkin. Bob Shaefer looks great to me. Bring him back and get the yaky one back where she belongs, sliding down the bobsled run at the Olympics on Matt's belly.
Ugh!!!!!
