No American Superheroes?

Hold On To The Tights? Tight?

The sad news was announced in the last days of January, in the dead of what has been a very nasty winter, that Hollywood has done another of its dastardly deeds, has dissed every American on the planet, by casting a Brit in the role of America's greatest comic hero.

British actor, Henry Cavill, who's been tapped to play Superman. Shame on Hollywood.

Would any anyone dare to cast as James Bond an actor who is anything other than British? Can one imagine the outrage that would erupt in Britain? In Britain? Not just in Britain? All of the Commonwealth countries would be up in arms at the slight given to Mother-Sister England. It is understood that only a British actor can play James Bond. James Bond labors hard for Queen and country.

Ed Asner's Back On TV

81 and Still Working

Ed Asner one of my favorite television actors is in the buzz on the net. He's a busy actor, at age 81, co-staring in CMT's new sitcom, "Working Class," with Melissa Peterman. Ed Asner is a great TV character actor. I enjoyed watching him in the TV classics series, "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Lou Grant." He told the Associated Press that it feels awful good to be working.

Rooting for Green Bay

I'm rooting for The Green Bay Packers.

Super Bowl XLV, Sunday, Dallas, Texas, The Pittsburgh Steelers vs The Green Bay Packers -- Who is going to win? Well, that will be decided on the field, if the weather permits. Who am I rooting for? Green Bay. Why?

I am from DC and DC is a National Conference city.

I like the fact that Green Bay is a fans owned team. So the Green Bay folks don't have a Dan Snyder milking the fans for every dollar his greedy hands can snatch.

I liked Vince Lombardi. For a minute,  he coached in D.C.

And I like the bird, the cockatoo, who sings 'I Love the Green Bay Packers.'

Snowing On The Super Bowl?!

It is not suppose to snow on the Super Bowl, but it is. The Super Bowl isn't just a game that takes place on a Sunday, it is a whole week, a week long party for and by the big shots of major corporations, and their clients, and their guests. Who else can afford the prices?! Well, there isn''t much partying going on in the Big D. There a lot of shoveling the "s" stuff, a lot of clueless drivers who don't know how to drive in snow, a lot of canceled flights, a lot of people losing money and not getting paid.

Well, how do you like global warming now, you big shot corporate polluters?

UFO hovers over Jerusalem

Item from ITN News -- "Two different films have surfaced of a glowing ball hanging over the Dome of the Rock." See the video.

What is it? An UFO? A solid object? Or is it the just the creation of jokers running a gag? Doing a light show? Or is it a physical manifestation of a spiritual presence? Is it a sign? The sign? The return of the Holy Spirit?

Whatever!

Well, there is buzz on the Internet and believers will believe what they want. The image in the video could be a clever hoax devised by a clever lad or lass. It would be ET dropping in and flying about, on a visit. It could be a spy craft. Jerusalem is just the kind of space where everybody is spying on everybody. Which ever it is, the video is entertaining. Why? Because it is grabbing eyeballs and making heads wonder. Well, some heads.

Prudent Punxsutawney Phil Didn't See His Shadow

Could Have Faced Terrorism Charge?!

The news this morning, Groundhog Day, is that the most famous groundhog of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil, did not see his shadow. If he had, so the story goes, America would be in for six more weeks of winter. And America might have been short one groundhog.

It was good for that rodent that he didn't see his shadow. This morning, a large part of America is facing one big nasty blizzard. America has endured one long nasty winter,

Last year, the word was that the little beast did see his shadow. And if that Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania rat had tried that again, this year, there may have been a call to bring him up on terrorism charges, aiding and cheering on the Old Man Winter, who all season long has been busy terrorizing folks.
