GOP Debate
Elmo, Oscar and Big Bird square off

Last night the Republican candidates for President of the United States gathered for their first debate. So what happened? I'm actually asking you since I didn't see it. I spent yesterday evening with my mother, wife and kids at a special performance of, Sesame Street's "Super Grover in Action" at the Rosemont Theatre in suburban Chicago. So needless to say I can't give a first hand account of what occurred last night.

I hope to address the debate after viewing a rebroadcast on MSNBC or CSPAN. Couldn't Tivo it, the wife had to record ER and Grey's Anatomy. You know I will loose that battle.

What I have heard in sound bites and in news reports and opinion polls has been interesting. It sounds like Gov. Mitt Romney appeared the most Presidential, Sen. John McCain sounded like he died and nobody told him, Mayor Rudy Giuliani still can't talk about abortion in front of a GOP crowd, Rep. Ron Paul was his limited government/isolationist self and everyone believes they are the heir apparent to Ronald Reagan.

The big winner was not at the debate, perspective candidate former Sen. Fred Thompson and the big loser was mediator Chris Mathews, who continues to live his life as a Democratic hack.

A good time was had by all.


Gotta love those Iranian values
Iranian Foreign Minister has a bulge in his pants

Last night at dinner for diplomats in Egypt, the Iranian foreign minister, who was seated directly across from U.S. Secretary of State Condolezza Rice, walked out of the event on the pretext that the female violinist entertaining the gathering was dressed too revealingly.

I wouldn't be surprised if the original concern of the dinner guests was that the Iranian representative was unable to control his sexual desires around Mrs. Rice if her legs were exposed. A few years ago, Israel's Prime Minister Aerial Sharon, publicly stated that he had a hard time concentrating around Rice and her "very nice legs."

As we know now, the tolerant Muslim from Iran was not thinking of Rice in a biblical sense, but instead was offended at the outfit the female violinist was wearing. After he left the dinner he reportedly went back to his hotel room, locked the door and asked room service to bring him a bottle wine and a tube of petroleum jelly. It appears he was going to have a romantic evening with himself and someone referred to as "Mr. Hand."


Radio Host Glad Woman Died
Rivals mom killed in house fire

We live during a time when shock radio as well as television often means big ratings. However, when you start gloating over the death of your competitions mother, you show the world that you are a despicable worthless human being.

Michael McGee Sr. a former alderman and radio talk-show host in Milwaukee expressed happiness in the death of his rivals mother in a house fire. Referring to talk-show host Charlie Sykes, "Mother Sykes, she dead. To me it's the vengeance of God. I ain't got no tears. Matter of fact a woman that would have a fool like that deserve whatever is coming her. She raised a sure enough idiot," McGee said on his radio show. "My instincts say Charlie Sykes killed his momma, cuz she live out in this big palace in Mequon all isolated. He got tired of waiting for her money."

I have heard vicious comments made by radio hosts on the air and have witnessed many bitter rivalries, but to be happy about the death of a woman because she is the mother of your competition goes beyond comprehension.

This blogger calls on WNOV-AM in Milwaukee to fire McGee. This scumbags radio career should be terminated immediately.
