The INDOOR plants are now in their glory in the gardens of Serendipity Shore.
The brown thrashers have another nest in the hedge roses. But what's with these "doors" the bird fellows keep creating in the shrubbery? And does the robin really know when the dog is leashed?

It's down to two on American Idol 2009. One is the beloved of the teenyboppers and one has talent and more talent.
Can the force of the 12-14 year olds really create a talent injustice that will forever cast a pall upon the very soul of American Idol?
All with pics and video you'll find nowhere else on the Internet.

There's little doubt who's going to win this year's Dancing With the Stars, 2009, competition.
For Gilles Marini is sexy, handsome and a damn good dancer.
So who will be second, Melissa or Shawn?
Some wry observations on this year's contest including a sarcastic little jibe at Melissa and her cute tiny lie.
All with pics and video you'll find nowhere else on the Internet.

Celebrity Apprentice and Hell's Kitchen 2009 are over now. We've got some memories with pics and video from throughout the contest.
Along with my own fine rants about why the winner of each is not believable and how this will adversely affect future contests.
Plus a review of BravoTV's newest reality show that leaves me giggling through the night. Not at the basis of the contest but at the contenders!

The sorry saga of Miss California should have taught us all about our future and those of us who dare to express our true hearts that would offend the very mean.
If only the Republicans would take the torture bull by the horns that entire joke would soon be past tense and the Dems would fall like dominos against the weight of a wrecking ball.
The Nice Guy of this Past Week, the Bad Guy of the Past Week in this week's Thoughts.
It all ends with a smile.

Carrie Prejean-Miss California
This Blogger puts yon reader on “aware” status because in the ongoing, very mean saga of Miss California’s torment for daring to say that she believes marriage is between a man and a woman, we learn that Obama spinner, David Axelrod, quips that one of the names in consideration for the new Obama dog is “Miss California”.
Snark, snark, snark, yukkity yuk.
All the poor girl said was that she thinks marriage should be between a man and a woman, something almost some 80% of the country believes as well. For this she gets called a “bitch” by the very, very fine Perez Hilton, expert assessor of human personality and such a fair man his very excrement does not stink.
And while my own rants are fine affairs, I offer,
Ann Coulter’s Fine Rant as one of the best out there.
For this Blogger, we name Carrie Prejean as the Good Guy of the Week. I heard her fine speech after the Donald Trump obligatory public relations grab of the week and she did a fine job expressing her love of country and how she endured the constant drum of mean-ness via her faith and the support of her friends and family.
I must say that any kind regard the heterosexuals, who comprise like 95% of the country, might have had for our homosexual brethran all got thrown under the train with Perez Hilton’s nastiness.
Methinks the homosexuals need a good PR guy.
Now we have this Obama administration and hey, they’re going to name the dog Miss California and they too could use some help in the department of fairness and good reputation.
I’m just sayin’.
Nancy Pelosi…How Many Ways Can This Woman Lie
We give the current Speaker, oops, Liar of the House this weeks Bad Guy of the Week award because come on folks, raise your hands anyone who believes this woman knew nothing, NOTHING, about waterboarding some of our nastier enemies after several CIA briefings.
Sure we all know politicians lie but goodness even Bill Clinton made some attempt to ACT like he wasn’t lying. All Nancy Pelosi did this past week was offer a new set of talking points that contradicted the old talking points and that whole pathetic group of folks in Pelosi’s office just gave it up and offered up prayers that the earth would just boil over from the long-promised climate change that the constant questions would cease.
Heh.
Pay no attention to those calls for Pelosi to resign as Speaker of the House. That ain’t gonna happen.
Although I have a suggestion that would not only cause Pelosi to quit, it would also bring to an end this nonsense about alleged “torture” and would shine a light bright and strong on the hypocrisy of the Democratic party.
Gonads required and this is why it probably won’t come to pass.
Who else but Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi wins this week’s QUIPS of the WEEK with her various versions of what she knew about waterboarding and when she knew it?
First, she knew nothing at all, there had been no briefings by the CIA, like Hogan’s Heros Sgt. Schultz, she knew nothing.
When it was revealed that Pelosi did, indeed, attend a briefing by the CIA in 9/2002, well then Pelosi said she was there but the CIA said nothing about waterboarding.
When it was revealed that the CIA revealed the practice of waterboarding at that 9/2002 briefing Pelosi said she didn’t protest because she didn’t want to disrupt the flow of the system, whatever the hell that meant. She continued to allege that waterboarding was never mentioned.
Of course on one such lie Pelosi resorted to what had always been tried and true…the ole blame George Dubya Bush excuse. Seems Dubya had memory removers surreptitiously placed in Pelosi’s head so that she would not remember discussions of waterboarding.
Then we move on to the hell with it, Pelosi said the CIA just flat out lied to congress, yes they did, they LIED to us all.
When the CIA head fights back against such a horrific allegation Pelosi came back with yet another George Dubya Bush fingerpoint but folks, at this point…who the hell would believe this woman if she said it was raining even as we are getting soaked from the downpour?
How the Republicans Can Get Pelosi Removed, Eliminate All the Fake Uproar About “Torture”, Expose the Democrats as the Lying Hypocrites and Maybe Take Over to Congress to Boot.
Yes it sounds like a tall order but I argue it would be simple matter.
First, REPUBLICANS…get out of the tanning booths! Stop hobnobbing with “friends across the aisle”, risk the disruption of head hairs from their appointed places and adjust gonads, if found, to a more comfortable position within the underwear.
Second, remember Tom Foley? He was a poor Florida congressman who was caught sending naughty email to a White House Page who was of legal age. Recall the media firestorm that brought this poor man down and huddle to scheme a media firestorm of like proportions to demand a hearing on “torture”.
Third, call constant press conferences, send op-eds to the WSJ, in short consult the Democratic playbook on how to make a big damn deal over nothing…check in especially with Harry Reid who calls a press conference to announce the status of his corns.
The Democrats do not wish any sort of lengthy hearing on “torture” that would receive the harsh glare of publicity light to cause Americans to scratch their heads in confusion.
For the American public ain’t gonna buy that the playing of constant Barry Manilow tunes or slamming into walls that MUST be padded, or the waterboarding of only THREE very dangerous terrorists that DID reveal attack information that was stopped in its tracks…hey, the American public ain’t gonna buy that this is torture and needs to be stopped.
Further, we all know that Nancy Pelosi, indeed the entire Democratic party okayed these “torture” techniques, even the playing of Barry Manilow tunes for eight straight hours- surely America at its worse. If the Republicans had gonads they’d be beating the drums to please, oh please, oh please…let’s have hearings.
Let the Democrats show the world how they want to throw Bush and Cheney in jail for God’s sake for successfully defending this country for eight years no matter how much you dislike these fellows. Americans ain’t gonna like this, no they’re not.
Besides the meterosexuals at the NY Times, the only ones who care that we “tortured” terrorists considered in possession of knowledge of future attacks on this country, the only others who care about this topic are the sons of camels in the Arab world. As they vacation in the Riviera, the Arabs want pictures and memos of mistreatment of the captured terrorists to be widely publicized that they can appropriately pay their subjects and cause a rampage on the vaunted “arab street” against Americans who so torture their Muslim terrorist brothers.
America will then be incriminated into backing down, maybe even apologizing for protecting itself, especially for those Barry Manilow tunes.
Heh.
I throw down the gauntlet and dare the Republicans to grow a pair. Go on! Scare the hell out of the Democrats and insist, INSIST, on hearings on torture.
If the pubs ever want to throw out the Dems…well here’s one quick way to do it.
I copy my rant on the final outsome of this year’s “Celebrity Apprentice” for the rant of the week. It is also featured in my TV post

The Donald Pushes Our Suspension of Disbelief Too Far in Celebrity Apprentice 2009
The Celebrity Apprentice 2009 is a done deal as of this writing. Joan Rivers won but she certainly did not deserve it. And I know Donald Trump knows it because in the real world The Donald would never have chosen Joan over Annie Duke, I am sure of this.
First, some old pic montages and a video for nostalgia below.
Below a video of Joan doing her stuff.
