Less Than 100 Days And All This?

I am still in amazement at what Barrack Obama has done in less than 100 days. 44 Billion dollars has been allocated for public education. The Federal rate for Unemployment was raised by $25.oo dollars a week for those without a job. The tax cuts for the middle class have started to trickle in by a slight rise in our paychecks. I also think it is the first time in history a United States president has told a corporation, "not good enough." After eight long years I do not shudder at the thought of the President opening his mouth in public.

It seems that the audacity of hope is starting to sink in. I understand that this will cost us in the long run but who can argue except those that seek to maintain the status quo. Even though the right-wing is now calling for a revolution against to the tyranny of Obama. Revolution and the right seems not to fit but then who am I to judge since the changes are not drastic enough for my taste. I am patient though since those that will receive a better education today will see the disparity tomorrow.Needless to say I will watch and wait and prod where I can. President Obama has a big job but still has to be kept on point, although not as much as the former "idiot" that occupied the White House.

Shiver in my bones thinking 'bout the weather

I start my mornings by channel surfing through my local channels until one of them gives me weather and traffic. I don't care which one, really. I have no brand loyalty toward one group of people, I believe all of them do a great job reading the teleprompter. Some ensembles try to diversify with an Asian woman reading sports or by simply selling the entire station to a Native American tribe. Other ensembles do not care about diversity at all, like Univision, where only the whitest Hispanics, so they claim, read in Spanish. I wonder if Lou Dobbs knows they make more money that he does. This, however, is not the focus of my rant. My rant focuses on the weather.

Today, my weather report was given by a smokin' hot woman in her very early twenties. I know what you're thinking, big deal, everyone gets their weather from an attractive, not-so-bright person. Sure, but in Miami, we are a little more audacious than in, let's say, Jersey. She not only gave me a full weather report with perfect highlights and French manicure, but she also told me that "my metropolitan area was getting a soaking" and then gave me a wink. RAAAOW!

Does anyone know when exactly the local news weatherman/woman became the morning chub of the newscast? I tried looking this up on Wikipedia, but no luck. I mean national weather people are all normal, except for Al Roker, he is delicious.

I know that the weather report has always been the fluffy feel good part of the news. They put sunglasses on the sun and frowns on rain clouds. They are generally inaccurate, which is why they often send these scientologists out to broadcast the weather from the house that has the most inflatable Snoopies in Santa Hats. This is all fine, but when did these meet-her-ologists start wearing way-too-opened shirts (and this is just the men in the profession)?

It is only during Hurricane season that they bring out the ugly people. Do you know why? The ugly people actually went to class.

So, local pretty weather people, listen up: you are all adorable, but you are not really climb-a-tographers. Science Fair judges, maybe. Your report can be replaced with a single graphic. But for the sake of the economy and your livelihoods, you can keep your jobs. I would just like to suggest you either quietly point at the green screen or just come out in a bikini already and swing on a pole. You can call it the North Pole. If there's rain you can dump a bucket of water on you.

I just hate things that are half-way.

Bridget Marquardt - First Episode Review

Just to be fair I watched the show so my review of this travel log would be based on actual knowledge and not flights of fancy. I will admit though that a half an hour was the most I could take of the "airhead acting". You may have noticed that most of the talking was done by the Australian natives and not our host. Our host was busy gawking and looking around like a child at Disneyland.

The Travel Channel really needs to evaluate this show because unless they want to appeal to the MTV generation their demographic is not represented here. I am not trying to hate but evaluate and Bridget needs to go back to the MTV crowd or other mindless pursuits.

This is my opinion as to the reality shows that are infiltrating from one channel to another. I need more cerebral pursuits which I can learn from. So the only choice I have is to make sure these shows' advertisers learn that their dollars are ill-spent. We as viewers need to make changes and not accept the producers of these shows who look no farther than what the next channel is doing.

So that is part two of my original blog and once again the pen goes to my partner in crime.

Bridget Marquardt - playing an airhead pays

People say that you should always start things on a positive note but in this case I feel "negative" is more in line.

Although in her bio Bridget Marquardt holds a B.A. in communications from California State University Sacramento and a masters degree in communications from the University of the Pacific in Stockton you can certainly tell she is not living off her intellect other than manipulating the masses.

I tend to like the Travel Channel but they seem to be going through an identity crisis. They seem to want to highlight travel but compete with Bravo at the same time, and in turn compete with the Food Network. Stick to what you know.

Bridget's Sexiest Beaches is another example of the Travel Channel trying to reach a demographic by “dumbing down” its content. Increased competition and the introduction of econometric methods have had a major hand in this trend. I will not totally trash it because the show has not premiered so I will follow up this post with a more detailed review.

As much as to say seeing little teasers for a month now have not done much but annoy me. It seems the Travel Channel might dump Samantha Brown because nerdy unattractive women don’t seem to be filling the demographic quotient.

Well I will let my blog partner take over from here.
