Landon Donovan a movie star look-alike?

Every time I see U.S. soccer star Landon Donovan, I’m reminded of someone else. But who? Then this morning, watching his World Cup goal against Slovenia, it hit me. He looks like a young John Saxon. After perusing still photos of the two, I see less similarity. But anyway, that’s who I was thinking of. … Continue reading Landon Donovan a movie star look-alike?

Cafferty and me — this time I saw it

Unreal. My comment today on CNN’s “Cafferty File” was read on the air, and this time I saw it! It happened last week too, but I missed it. Twice in nine days. What are the odds? Okay, okay, I know I need to get a life. It’s pretty sad when the highlight of your week, … Continue reading Cafferty and me — this time I saw it

Cafferty read my comment on the air — and I missed it!

McCaaaaain, you did this!

I was shocked and deeply disappointed when John McCain named Sarah Palin as his GOP running mate back in 2008. Since then, I’ve just been getting angrier and angrier. He created and loosed upon us the creature that has haunted us ever since. He lifted her from obscurity, pumped her full of political one-liners, dreams … Continue reading McCaaaaain, you did this!

Time waits for no man … or woman

I just caught Barry Manilow on a late night show. Second time in the last month or so. Same reaction both times. OMG, he’s so thin! True, it’s been years since I’ve seen him. But still … Then he starts singing and it’s like watching a spindly heron working the shallows. Strangest of all is … Continue reading Time waits for no man … or woman
