Wow. The Dancing with the Stars finale took place the other night. I think it took them two nights and several hours to announce the winner. It took this long for three reasons. Ratings, ratings, and ratings. All those ratings bring in big bucks. It doesn't bother me in the least. I didn't watch it and I don't know who won and I don't care.

I've never watched American Idol either. I don't know who won, but I do know that some guy named Sanjaya was awful.

I will, however, watch Iron Chef America this coming Sunday night. Louisville's Oak Room's executive chef, Todd Richards is going to be squaring off against Iron Chef Cat Cora. Cool stuff. I just hope that the secret ingredient isn't something like squid ink or brussels sprouts.

It never fails to amaze me. Commentators in watching the Republican You Tube debate saw that Rudy Giuliani has an aggressive and mean side. He's a New Yorker, he's an Italian American who was a Federal Prosecutor who went after the mob in New York City. Giuliani, unlike a lot of the chicken hawks, is legitimately tough. He had to be. He was prosecuting people who, if they got off, would have killed him. Gleefully. Whether you like him or not, this is him and this is his personality. I actually found it interesting that Pat Robertson is supporting him. Pat Robertson loathed Bill Clinton and went on and on about Bill Clinton's sexual ethics or lack thereof. Bill has nothing on Rudy on that department. I guess, for Pat Robertson, one's sexual ethics matter only if you are a Democrat...

It's interesting. Most of our federal agencies are, at present, a mess. The Bush Administration is anti-government and the best way to make a case for anti-government is to assure that government agencies are inept. They have done this. Whoever becomes the next President has to fix virtually all the federal agencies and grapple with a severely strained military fighting two wars.

So here is my question. Who in their right mind, would want to become President?

This earth shaking news is just in. On the MSNBC website they have a headline that Britney Spears may have mental problems. Spears displays serious problems, say health experts. Praise the Lord for these experts because no one else could have figured that one out.

The main headline on the Faux News website was that a missing college student was living a double life as a porn star.

I live to read about all these vital stories.

Some football predictions. I'm going on a limb and will get laughed out if or when I'm proven wrong, but here are some of my fearless predictions:

The Cowboys are going to crush the Packers like bugs tonight.

Rex Grossman is going to have a breakout game this weekend against the New York Giants.

The Dolphins are going to beat the Jets.

Finally, Todd Sauerbrun's IQ will still be very low.
