I love Letterman’s nightly “Great Moments in Presidential Speeches.” Here’s a compilation.

Also, watched ZZ Top and Ozzy on the VH1 Rock Honors show last night. There’s not a decent video of his performance yet on youtube, but Ozzy sang his new single, which I really like. So, here’s a music video instead:

I missed this on Monday, but a friend emailed me last night to inform me of the death of Calvert DeForest, known primarily for his charcter on NBC’s Late Night with David Letterman, Larry “Bud” Melman. He also made appearances (as himself, since NBC owned the Melman character) on Letterman’s current CBS show as [...]

A lot is being made of the so-called “Lost Tomb of Jesus”. This kind of thing pops up every now and then, and so it’s not very surprising. I saw it early yesterday morning, just before I read Mike’s post.

Most of my favorite commercials these days come from ESPN. The “This Is SportsCenter” commercials are hilarious. My current favorite is the Manning family touring the ESPN campus. They did a great job with that one. The stern look Archie gives the boys as he glances back at them is classic.

New Record
Well, Bob Knight finally set the record. Texas Tech beat New Mexico this afternoon and gave [...]

I was sad to see the news yesterday that Peter Boyle had died Tuesday night. Boyle was known mostly for his role in Young Frankenstein and, more recently, as the father of Ray on Everybody Loves Raymond.
Being a fan of the show, I loved Boyle’s Frank Barone character. He delivered some great lines [...]

For years now I’ve had a beef with VH1 over their Behind The Music series. My problem with it? No Iron Maiden. After countless episodes featuring crap like Backstreet Boys, Bon Jovi, Leif Garrett, Nick Lachey, Ricky Martin and even Twisted Sister and Ratt, I can’t fathom why they have continued to [...]

I love the show Lost and have considered no other show it’s equal since it arrived on ABC over 2 years ago. I just happened to have the television on ABC when the premiere first aired, and I haven’t missed an episode since. Recently, several folks have urged me to check out the [...]
