THE BIG Question of the Day

Will Bristol Palin be cut from Dancing With The Stars?

Or, will she be sent on to the Finals and a chance to win the "Coveting Mirror Ball Trophy"?

The political correctness of last night's commentary with Sarah in the audience made me a little sick. However, she did get the lowest score.

May she be sent - well wherever. And, she is not a "Teen activist" except in the broadest sense of the term.

Sorry, you brought the topic up.

51 and have yet to own a TV. Sounds like a good decision.

****?

And yes, it is getting to be winter. Now -0F and forecast to be our first cool spell of the winter; going down to -30F tonight. Just a blip though.

Would I be considered boorish if I were to ask "Who really shives a git?"

The biggest reason I asked was A: because according to the news Dancing With the Stars is the most popular program on TV so some people must like it. B: The goal of the producers is to make money by selling advertising to a lot of people. By their choice they have scored a home run. Bet there are some new BMWs in garages.





Off to the news and the excitement

I happen to like dancing. I spent about 6 weeks wathcing DVD's learnign to do the chacha, west coast, east coast swing dances, so knowing what the stars are going through makes it tha much more interesting. After an hour of practice, my legs were more fatigued than doing 50 mile son the bike.

But Bristol? That's terrible. She can't dance, not very graceful and should be gone. Sarah says she has nothing to do with it but she appears in every episode and Bristol scene.

We are talking about a TV show? Somehow who is and who isn't on the show has become political? Are we in an alternate universe?

Do we believe reality TV is real? Do we believe that Survivor goes to the best person? How many believe the WWF or whatever it is called isn't fixed? That is why the shows are listed under entertainment isn't it?

Big reason I don't watch tv. I don't watch the program, but I do watch a dance here and there. I don't watch tv, I play on the bike forums, now that's reality!

You have too much time on your hands - go shovel your driveway, or maybe your neighbors driveway.
