Since I am nothing if not a fair man, I must take a moment to be fair to Katy Perry, who is not in fact the dumbest person to soil the set of who Wants to Be A Millionaire. I thought she would be a shoe-in, but once again I have been reminded of something …

Thoughts On New Millionaire
Wow, I missed Regis on this show. I know there are the reruns on the Game Show Network, but once you’ve already seen them there’s not much sense in watching again since you can’t play along. So far I like the changes they’ve made, and amazingly the celebrity experts haven’t been a complete embarrassment so …
Who Wants A Violent Beating
I’m happy to see the Regis Philbin version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire make a comeback. There’s nothing wrong with Meredith Vieira, but for my money you can’t beat the original. They’re changing it a bit from the way things used to be, which sounds good and bad. On the not so good …
The Fatchelor

Basically, 10 atheists who have been interviewed to assure that they are truly atheists go on the show and a muslim imam, a rabbi, a greek orthodox priest and a monk try to prove the merits of …

Austin Steve Irwin?
Ok, poll time, except I’m too stupid to come up with an actual poll. How many think Austin Stevens is a two-bit Steve Irwin clone? I saw him on discovery yesterday and all I could think was “You know you wanna pet a stingray. You wanna. I double dog dare ya.” I know that’s mean, …
We Notice Too Many Ads
Here we go again with the comercials. I saw an ad for Iams dog food that said that the food would produce the seven signs of healthy vitality. Uh, what other kind of vitality is there? I’ve never heard of unhealthy vitality. I guess cancer could have healthy vitality that would be unhealthy for you, …
