Like The Wind

Why is it that women get so much abuse in Poker Room? Is it for the same reason men get a little bit of crap in Bingo Rooms?

More to come

Trump is 1-1 this week and it’s only Tuesday

 
First he got it wrong when he picked Joan Rivers over Annie Duke as the Celebrity Apprentice winner; then he got it right when he kept Carrie Prejean as Miss California USA. But no matter what he does The Donald is a solar system of his own and we are all just little planets living in it.
 
Joan Rivers, a witty but obnoxious comedian lied through her false teeth when she turned the Celebrity Apprentice last boardroom into Hurricane Joan, never letting anyone, including Trump finish a sentence and announcing she will “not let Annie Duke’s words be on TV” because NOW Joan Rivers is  not only selling crap on QVS, she is also the commissioner of the FCC. And as  the commissioner  not only can she decide what goes on and what doesn’t but she can also  call someone Hitler on National TV and not get sued for slander and defamation of character. In fact she can malign the Pokah Playeah as much as her little black heart desires and not be held accountable for her actions and words. Sweet Sweet Joanie.
 
Then The Donald got it right when he decided to let Miss California USA keep her title and made the announcement of his decision a national event. But honestly – that’s not Trump’s fault. That one is on us because we keep getting sucked into all these fabricated dramas when one innocent answer snowballs into a federal disaster or when one plastic enhanced senior citizen has a meltdown on primetime. Because that’s what we do as Americans – make sure we care so much about the little things that the bigger picture somehow disappears and we don’t need to deal with recession and finances and wars and unemployment; how could we when we need to attend to Miss California USA and to Adam Lambert and Jilles Marini and oh yes to Joan Rivers and the Pokah Playeah. But it’s OK, because as Carrie Prejean said we live in a country where we can choose.

If he wasn’t cleaning toilets at the Lovelock Prison in Nevada

Instead, He's Cleaning Toilets

Jerry Rice was there, Emmitt Smith was there, and so were Jason Taylor, Warren Sapp & Lawrence Taylor.
If OJ was not a double murderer and a felon convicted of robbery, kidnapping and assault, he could have been right there with Edyta Sliwinska practicing the Samba with his Arthritis stricken hips.
And who knows, if he played his cards just right he could even wear a glove.

You're Fired (Sorry Couldn't Resist)

How is it that one flamboyant judge, with an axe to grind,  decides all by himself who will not be Miss USA 2009?

Oh My, it's me, nope - it's you - Thanks Perez

Up until probably 2 seconds after she pulled the Perez Hilton card out of the glass jar, Carrie Prejean pretty much had the crown on her head. And then came the ever victim Perez with his question about Prop 8.
 
You didn’t even have to listen carefully to hear that Prejean was completely respectful and Miss America’ess (OK Miss USA) when she responded that she is “happy to live in a country where we have the right to choose” between marrying opposite sexes or same sex and then added that “you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised”.
 
Camera cuts to Mr. Hilton’s disgusted expression and crown swiftly moves from Miss California’s Head to Miss North Carolina’s.
 
Then all hell breaks loose, and Mr. Hilton has yet another reason to cry “Hate Mail” on Twitter. Quote: “I have never received more gay hate mail than I have today. Living in Los Angeles, I sometimes forget how very homophobic America still is.” Oh Boo Hoo – You know what Dear Perez? – You threw the first hate stone… don’t expect people to stand by and pet your product enhanced head just cuz you are gay thus have a right to be a victim – especially when you are not one.
 
In this case, Mr. Perez, you are the victimizer – so live with it. Not everyone in the world is going to agree with your agenda. And just as you have the right to  your beliefs so does Miss California have the right to hers, especially when she was completely respectful expressing them.
 
Oh, and I just loved your sarcastic/self pity line about “My Mother loves me and that’s enough for me” – Ummmm, Yep, I’m sure.

As if we needed another reason to fall in love with the Obama’s – Here comes Bo who is now officially my new Boo.

The First Family

Yes, I wrote about him this morning but since then there are new pictures and the Obama’s are doing once more the right thing – Since they didn’t get the dog in a shelter they announced that they will be donating some money to an animal shelter in DC – good move Obama’s.

So now we know that Bo can already sit and go down and stop when he is told “off” and also roll over.  

Will he pick up the Pooch's Poop?

 And all that  remains to be seen is President Obama walks the Pooch and picks up his poop, right?

Here I go – Watch me getting sucked in

The Sandie Guy (see? Now she has a name) drama continues.

Let’s recap – this is the woman who cried knife to Demi Moore a couple nights ago on Twitter and got yanked to the hospital by the San Jose PD.

Twelve hours after she was “going to cut her arm with a really big knife” (her words) she was “released from the psychiatric ward” (again – her words) and came home to eat a “piece of egg, cheese, sausage, and croissant” (you guessed – her words), take a bath (yeah, hers too) and soak in the love bubbles that she sucked out of Twitterverse (nope this time it’s mine).

Twelve hours!

In the State of California, if this woman was really suicidal, she would have been held on 5150 for 72 hours of observation. But she was home after 12 hours remember? What is this telling you?

When she was yanked to the hospital by the police she had 0 followers on Twitter, by the time she got back from the psychiatric ward she had over 600 and now it’s going on 779 and counting.

Last night she posted that her “older daughter is not sure if she likes the attention” – read the words carefully. Then she deleted that post. Then she posted that her “ex was not paying her the court stips”, then she deleted that post. And then, listen to this, she posted she “didn’t think she would get the attention” and then (yep you guessed) she deleted that one too.

And now, basking in the love (she wants to coin the phrase TwitterLove by the way) she is “thinking how she can pay everyone” and “going to pay it forward” and (obviously after reading my column from yesterday) declaring “no more pity party”.

OK Sandie, how about this – how about instead of sitting on Twitter all day and sucking people  for attention, then Googling yourself and responding to every comment people write about you on Blogosphere – how about instead of all that you just go on Monster.com and look for a job? Or spend the day with your “older daughter” and make up for what you put her through (and no doubt your other kids too) the other night? How about instead of “Paying it Forward” you just pay it back to your kids? Or is that not the kind of attention that gives you enough TwitterLove, Sandie?

The thing about Attention Suckers / Seekers is that they don’t distinct between Positive Attention and Negative Attention. As long as someone, anyone, pays them ANY attention– they are content.

Take for example Sandie Guy, the woman that went on Twitter last night and for hours preyed on Demi Moore’s compassion, sucking the whole Twiterverse into her being allegedly suicidal, right down to the “getting a knife, a big one that is sharp. Going to cut my arm down the whole arm so it doesn’t waste time.”

That message came after days of whining that she can twit whatever she wants cuz no one cares anyway. Then dropping hints she was going to kill herself and then when no one responded, she twitted to Demi Moore and asked her “I’m just wondering if anyone cares that I’m gonna kill myself now.”

When that one went unanswered she simply went for the “big sharp knife” message.

While I believe that the woman  was hurting and probably lonely, I am completely outraged by her behavior. Lady, if you need help call 911. Do NOT suck the entire world into feeling sorry for you. If you want to be on a pity party – don’t invite us in.

It’s absolutely heartwarming to witness the compassion and caring for others showed by Demi Moore and others while the alleged crisis was going on. Demi did the right thing by responding to that woman’s messages and others on Twitter did the absolutely correct thing by calling the San Jose Police Department who took Sandie Guy to the hospital for observation.

But the bottom line is – that woman won – she got us all to give her some attention. And that Sucks!

And it’s only Tuesday
