If Happenstance Made You an International Sensation, Who Would You Rather Date? ... Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Michelle Obama or Sarah Palin?...

Here's a Fun Way to Learn About or Recap Current Affairs!!!...

All four of these women are incredible and internationally known, cultured, well educated, successful, savvy and also physically attractive. Any man would be fortunate to date them.

If you were that fortunate man - someone that was like one of the biggest stars ever - a real international sensation and "man of mystery" and had a chance to steal these incredible women away from their men for just one date (or two. or three) ...

Who would it be???...

Let's take a look-sy...

Condoleezza Rice

1 day ago: NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 26: U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (R) talks with reporters after a press conference of members of the Middle East Quartet during the 63rd annual United Nations General Assembly meeting September 26, 2008 at UN Headquarters in New York City. World leaders are gathering in New York for this year's general debate devoted to the midterm review of the Almaty Programme of Action which concerns the needs of developing countries.

The Upside: With Condoleeza's love of football and secret desire to be the NFL commissioner you'd have no problem 1). watching football on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Saturday instead of fighting about and 2). scoring seats in a box or anywhere you'd want to seat or stand around the whole league.

In addition, with her equal love of shoes, you'd get to go into allot of expensive shops where allot of smoking hot women would also be trying on shoes - and you could just sit back and drink champagne from France and be like, "yeah, that's right baby, I'm w/ her."

The Downside: Well, unfortunately Condoleezza Rice has a soft spot for the Cleveland Browns - so, like, you'd have to watch them!

Plus, you may find yourself on a hunting trip w/ Dick Cheney!

1 day ago: U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice speaks during an interview with Reuters in New York September 26, 2008.

Nancy Pelosi

13 hours ago: U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi leaves after a meeting with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson working on a bailout package for the current financial and banking crisis, at the US Capitol in Washington, September 27, 2008. U.S. congressional leaders locked themselves behind closed doors on Saturday and worked into the night with the aim of nailing down a deal on a $700 billion bank bailout and halting a downward spiral in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

The Upside: You'd have absolutely no problems w/ getting into any Phil Lesh / Grateful Dead benefit show in San Francisco - or probably anywhere in the country - And would most likely get an "All Access" pass too.

Moreover, California is a dream!!!...

Judd Gregg, R-N.H., left, announce a tentative deal on legislation regarding the financial crisis on Sunday, Sept. 28, 2008 on Capitol Hill in Washington. (AP Photo/Lauren Victoria Burke)

The Downside: Well, every Fox News affiliated host, anchor and reporter would be taking "shots" at you when you didn't even do anything wrong!

1 day ago: U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) (R) appear before photographers during a news conference about the current financial crisis at the speaker's offices in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, September 26, 2008.

Michelle Obama
1 day ago: OXFORD, MS - SEPTEMBER 26: Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), walks on stage during the first of three presidential debates before the 2008 election September 26, 2008 in the Gertrude Castellow Ford Center at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi. Both candidates arrived in Oxford after taking part in negotiations the previous day in Washington, D.C. to solve the current financial crisis.

The Upside: Senator Obama may very well be our next President of the United States of America and that means Michelle Obama would be receiving some very special, first class treatment that would be so very cool to experience - even for a day or two or three...

1 day ago: Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) and his wife Michelle arrive for the first U.S. Presidential Debate in Oxford, Mississippi, September 26, 2008.
The Downside: Well, if Senator Obama becomes the next President of the United States of America, and you stole away the love-of-his-life even for a night or two --- oh, baby, it would be nothing but miserable for you!!!...

The President of of the United States is like the most powerful man in the world!!!...

17 hours ago: US Democratic presidential candidate Illinois Senator Barack Obama and his wife Michelle arrive at the Congressional Black Caucus for Obama to receive the Harold Washington Award, in Washington, District of Columbia, September 27, 2008.

Sarah Palin

1 day ago: Republican vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, right, and her daughter Willow, second from right, place an order during a surprise stop at a South Philadelphia sandwich shop Saturday, Sept. 27, 2008.

The Upside: You could have fresh, Wild King Alaskan Salmon any time you'd want!!!...

And, moreover, you could get to meet your favorite Northern Exposure cast members (or if you're like me and all of them are your favorites - well, you I'm sure you could arrange to meet the whole cast) --- Plus, get all the Northern Expsoure episodes from every season ever made.

NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 25: Republican vice-presidential candidate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (L) takes questions from the press near a firehouse next to Ground Zero September 25, 2008 in New York City. Palin paid a visit to the Ground Zero area on her way out of New York.

The Downside: Well, if you're hungry for a romantic steak dinner, you may very well have to go out and shoot to kill something, skin and dress it and butcher it yourself to impress her.

Mike and the Mechanics: A Look at the Mike Huckabee Show Via My PSU "Mass Media" Classes w/ Politics Aside

OKay, it's been a few years since I've been out of college however the "Mass Media" foundation that Professor Trimball taught me and that I absorbed and applied like a sponge has been beneficial and fun for me long after Penn State University. Politics aside, let's view the mechanics of the new Mike Huckabee show.The format of the of the show is very similar to many other audience based talk shows. One refreshing thing I noticed is there was a lack of spectacle. Mike did not exploit the uncanny desire people have to be on TV and how they'll do anything for some 15 minutes.

This was a calm, relaxing and more dignified show. There was interaction w/ the audience but it was more to give them a platform to express their opinions or ask questions and receive some good feedback from guests in order to help themselves as everyday people.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck was a good choice for a first guest as she's "hot" in a couple ways --- of course, she looks great and is a pretty woman but the controversy that surrounds her like the "screaming" itself on the View coupled w/ the internet and the talk-shows being "a buzz" about the possibility of Elisabeth leaving the View for a spot on Fox News Channel is definitely hot stuff.
In this more relaxed setting than the "lion's cage" of Roman Times that the View can be, Elisabeth was very likable, charming, sexy and came across as a very "thankful" person for being in a position she's able to be in everyday. In fact, she kinda said that in those words. VP of Fox Business News, Alexis Glick, was another guest. Again, she's a hottie not only because of her physical attributes but because the Fox Business Network has certainly taken off and is delivering business news like no local or cable channel has ever done before. Moreover, the economy and its crisis is just a little bit of a hot topic right now and Alexis did an excellent job articulating what the hell is going on and why without playing the political game and spinning things for the benefit of one party or view over another.
All and all, as a show, I found the Mike Huckabee Show to be pretty solid for a first episode.

The set is cool. The camera work is good. The sound is good. So, yeah, the production value is there. And , the audience seemed to dig it.

The mechanics were running smoothly.

Only time will tell if the wheels come off or it cruises on down the road.

Oh, and Mike even jams on bass guitar w/ an ensemble of FNC musicians who also have day jobs but can actually really play and are pretty talented = like the pretty Lauren Green.

The Power of Some Covers: These Covers Speak for the Week

ONCE AGAIN WE ALL HAVE TO HELP THE RICH… *&%$

WILLIE NELSON, THE PRETENDERS, JERRY LEE LEWIS Farm Aid 2008 [no label, 1CD]Live at the Comcast Center, Mansfield, Massachusetts, September 20, 2008. TV HD broadcast.
With ordinary Americans unhappy over the way Wall Street is currently asking for a massive bailout, one can easily add Farm Aid founder Willie Nelson to that list. Since Farm Aid began in 1985, Nelson and his group of friends, who include John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews, have been tirelessly working to raise money for family farmers in the United States. For more than 20 years, Farm Aid is all but ignored by the US government. But along come the banksters and the entire US government bends over backwards to save the rich.

In response to the proposed US$700 billion Wall Street bailout, Farm Aid has issued an open letter to Congress: “The proposed $700 billion bailout asks taxpayers to foot the bill without giving them the opportunity to share in any gains that might result… On the other hand, a $1 billion investment in family farm agriculture would enrich all of us, because we are all shareholders of the family farm. The return on investment in the family farm includes thriving local economies, nutritious food for better health, a safer and more secure food supply, a cleaner environment and more renewable energy.” Since 1985, Farm Aid has raised more than $30 million to help family farmers.

And so, Willie Nelson stoicly soldiers on, calling this year’s Farm Aid concert “the best ever.”

Recently, On Red Eye ...

...of course there are the lovely women of the new everyday media that are on TV each and everyday. However, leave it to the genius of Red Eye to share with the world "a taste of honey" and media savvy of women who also do everyday media but we (the viewers and consumers of spoonfed news on local channels) don't usually get to see everyday ...
