Good Day, Bad Day….
Everyone has a bad day now and again—and it’s especially tough if your bad day happens in a job where everyone can see you…
For example, in my business—when I have a bad day—It’s live, unfixable and happens in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers….
When that happens, I like to console myself by saying– “Hey, [...]
Hutt one, Hutt two…Hike….
HUTT ONE…
Come this weekend—virtually everybody with a TV will be able to watch the game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants..
The game—which had been exclusive to the NFL network—will now also be carried by both CBS and NBC…They’ll take a simulcast of the NFL feed.
There’s intense interest in the game because [...]
Holy Joe….
Christmas has come and gone—yet the controversy about Mike Huckabee’s “floating cross” Christmas ad continues…
But, he’s apparently not the only one sending “secret signals” to Christians….
Check out this sequence here—and you can see a “floating cross” magically appear behind MSNBC talk show host Joe Scarboro..
And I never would have discovered Scarboro’s “floating cross” if it hadn’t have [...]
A Christmas Story….
I’d like to share with you a Christmas tradition in our house.
Years ago, someone sent me a story. I was so touched by it that I decided to read it aloud to our little girl on Christmas eve to help her understand the meaning of Christmas. She was 4 at the time—old enough to [...]
His Cross To Bear…
There’s been a lot of anger directed at Mike Huckabee’s Christmas TV commercial with folks railing about the symbolism of the so-called “floating cross” in the background that was created by lighting a bookcase behind him…
Sigmund Freud once said, “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” And sometimes, a bookcase may just [...]
Now You See It, Now You Don’t…
A few posts back, we ran an item that contained this optical illusion—
—which had GOOD and EVIL embedded in the same word.
We then asked folks which one (or both) they could detect at first glance.
Since that time we’ve been inundated with billions of requests clamoring for more.
(Well, actually, it was only ONE of [...]
Lighten Up Stevie….
After several posts in a row where I just vented my spleen and railed about life’s hypocrisy’s—I thought I ought to lighten it up a bit….
So—today—they’ll be no volcano of angry words—just some fun stuff…
ROLL WITH IT……..
Sometimes juggling all the things in your life is complex— sometimes it’s simple….
…SO YOU HAD A BAD DAY….
We’ve [...]
A Stain On Us All…
There’s a sizable number of people who think we in the media are frauds and don’t really care about anything but ratings and profits….
…And the release of the Mitchell report on steroids in baseball has created a situation where our detractors are being proved correct.
I’m talking about the advance release of [...]
Intolerant Diversity….
There’s been a big push in this country for several years to make us all more inclusive—and to—as Tee shirts and bumper stickers say:
It’s laudable—and I applaud it—EXCEPT when those attempts to be inclusive actually EXCLUDE people.
Case in point:
Overheard in a schoolyard recently.
KINDERGARTEN AGE CHILD: Oooh. look at the pretty Christmas tree.
TEACHER: We don’t call [...]
Back In The Day….
Being that my age—and that of the planet—are about the same—a friend of mine sent me one of those “Back in The Day” comparison things that make the rounds on the Internet…
You know the stuff I’m talking about….
Quips like back in 1956, gasoline costs 29 cents a gallon, and a Popsicle was a [...]
