Jesse Hasselbeck...View host puts down bloggers. Dumb blond syndrome!

Hasselbeck dumb blond on far right...

On a Hollywood gossip show this morning, Jesse Hasselbeck - one of those professional gabbers from the "View" - accused bloggers of being nit-picky and hysterical in respect to the controversial issues surfacing over Sarah Palin's odd-ball entrance into the big-time political arena in Washington, D.C.

The issues are hardly petty by any stretch of the imagination!

Her attacks on intelligent ethically-minded individuals - who are concerned about the future of this country - are easily to fathom, though.

After all, Hasselbeck is a republican - rooting on the sidelines for a woman to smash the "glass ceiling" - and go the distance in the current political race for the White House.

Who does she think she's fooling?

In sum, the B-list TV personality has single handedly revived the old image of the dumb blond.

It's curious, though, because she has dark roots.

Just another Hollywood phoney, I guess!

John McCain...backside glances video! All in the camera angle...

That's not the first time he's checked out my a**...


In a post yesterday, I speculated about McCain's incompetence in respect to the vetting process.

In response, a blog reader jokingly provided a link, where web surfers could take a gander at the efforts McCain undertook. (www.julian1st.wordpress.com)

When an image of McCain - checking out Palin's "rack" - sprang to life in front of me on the screen, I laughed out loud.

Funny!

Afterwards, some enterprising - and very creative individuals - took real-time footage of a similar incident and proceeded to turn out a hilarious video ("Backside Glances") which caused a big stir on the Internet overnight after it was released.

On the heels of the side-splitting joke, McCain's supporters attempted damage control by speculating on the morning news that because of the angle of the "camera shot" - McCain's glances at notes on the podium - appeared to give the impression he was checking out her bu**.

I expect that had he actually been giving an approving eye to her a** - by virtue of their own arguments - it would have then appeared that McCain was actually glancing down at his own crotch.

And, why - pray tell - would he be taking stock there?

To determine if a bulge in his pants was noticeable to the audience, perhaps?

There's one positive thing you can say about the selection of Palin for running-mate.

Her lunatic candidacy is going to provide a lot of entertaining fodder over the next few weeks!

If Palin survives the gauntlet, that is!

Technorati...ping malfunction renders posts "old news"!

For those of you with blogs that are fed through Technorati by "ping", I guess you're as frustrated as I am about the update malfunction at their site which is rendering posts "old news" items before they've had a chance to be read!

For instance, over the past few days when Technorati failed to ping the blogspot site automatically (www.ijulian.blogspot.com), I tried to facilitate the function manually.

But, to no avail.

For days, posts failed to pop up on the site.

When they did appear in the queue, the posts were not timely and amounted to "old news".

I'm recommending that Technorati readers go directly to the source for the posts, until the malfunction is sorted out.

I, for one, would prefer my posts to be read while they are timely and newsworthy - not stale and outdated!

Good luck sorting things out your way!

Michael Phelps...appears in streaming video today. Pitch for 2016 Olympics!

Phelps slices through water with power and grace...


Michael Phelps fans - anxious to snatch up every delicious detail about his public, professional, and private life - may be pleased to know that he'll be in Chicago today (September 3rd, 2008) to share his Beijing Olympic experiences via a live-streaming-video interview and web chat. (link below)

In addition to discussing the historic Beijing Olympic "wins", the Olympic Gold Medalist is expected to expound on the prospect of a bid to bring the Olympic Games to Chicago in 2016.

"I'm excited to be able to share my experiences in Beijing with the public on the Chicago 2016 Channel," said Phelps, on route to the event

"I invite everyone to join me online to chat about the incredible experience of the Beijing Games and what it would mean to have Chicago host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games."

Meanwhile, Chicago Chairman Patrick G. Ryan enthusiastically noted to a gaggle of reporters on hand,

"We appreciate Michael sharing his Olympic experiences with us and welcome his insights and leadership into how the Games can return to the United States in 2016."

Ryan gushed there wasn't anyone more suitable to help inspire Americans about the Olympic experience and ideals than history-making Olympic champion Phelps.

I agree!

Phelps not blinded by the bling...

George Bush...face reader confirms Bush uncertain about McCain!

The face is a reflection of the inner being...

Last night, George Bush was caught in a big lie, if you believe in the science of face reading.

Currently, law enforcement - for one - facilitates the practice to determine if a suspect is telling the truth during interrogations.

And, they swear by it.

An analysis of the facial expressions of a person when they're talking - muscle twitches, eye movement, and obvious tension in areas surrounding the mouth, for instance - is capable of determining if the individual is holding back, fudging on the facts, or telling a bold-faced lie.

According to an expert in the field - who analyzed the Prez's facial expressions during his speech at the Republican Convention on Wednesday evening - Bush was not entirely forthcoming about his feelings for John McCain.

For instance, when Mr. Bush noted for the record that he thought McCain was ready to lead, a pained smile and a parsing of the lips signalled to the interpreter that Bush was not convinced of that fact, at all.

Ah, gotcha, George!

John McCain...googled Sarah Palin. Competence in question!

Sarah made a monkey out of me...


The sh** hit the fan over the weekend when it was announced that - in addition to other unsettling background information surfacing on Vice Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin - that her daughter is five months into a pregnancy out-of-wedlock.

For many, that was the straw on the camel's back.

Now, in the fresh light of a new day, McCain's selection process is being seriously questioned.

According to one incensed insider - McCain simply "googled" Palin to render a quick sketch of his pick - and weed out potential problem scenarios.

Was that slap-dash research on Palin sufficient?

In a bold-faced effort to thwart accusations that the "alleged" flimsy background check signals a screw-up - and outright incompetence on the part of McCain - a spokesperson has assured the media that the probe on Palin was quite thorough.

"At least two dozen aides reviewed speeches, public records, legal documents, credit history, financial records, and formal complaints against her," handler Maria Comella asserted matter-of-fact.

But, someone was keen to the fact that Palin's background record was spotty, at best.

And, that online sources storing biographical data, needed sprucing up.

So, appropriate action - ethically in question now - was taken.

For example, apparently an unknown party accessed Wikipedia on the eve of the announcement that Palin would be McCain's pick, and proceeded to beef up her resume to give it some "weight".

Curiously, a couple of days ago, I noted in a post that a news anchor laughingly pointed out on the air that she perused the Wikipedia site on Friday (August 29th) to get a take on Sarah Palin since there was so little information available in the mainstream press and/or public records about McCain's running-mate.

In retrospect, it appears that parties unknown utilized the Wikipedia site, to manipulate assessments.

In fact, over the weekend, the New York Times reported that once editors at the Wikipedia site were alerted to the highly suspect nature of the biographical entries - they proceeded to balance out the material - since it was obvious that there appeared to be a scurrilous effort to bolster Palin's credentials and in a more favorable light.

At this juncture, it appears that Sarah Palin must go.

I'm predicting that McCain will opt for another candidate in the near future.

By the way, if we all had more foresight - than hindsight - we'd all be better off by a damn sight!

Alaskan Nights coming to NBC this fall...

Sarah Palin...Hurricane Gustav bites VP hopeful in the a**!

Because of the strengthening force of Hurricane Gustav, Republicans were forced to take precaution, and scale back their schedule for the convention underway in the twin cities.

An appearance by George Bush was cancelled, for starters.

As a result, it looks like Sarah Palin's "moment in the sun" is going to be a big "wash out".

That's quite ironic, when you consider the VP hopeful's views on the subject of global warming.

Palin alleges that the disturbing trend in climate change is not "man-made".

However, in recent days, scientists have noted that the fingerprint of global warming on the strongest storms - including Gustav - is becoming clearer with more research each new day.

Looks like Hurricane Gustav just jumped up and bit Palin on her ignorant a**!

Karma, baby, Karma!
