Awards, Etc.

Monday, Sept. 17, 2007 - 12:03 a.m.

Okay, here are some fleeting impressions from the Emmy Awards. Like that's what you're doing here... :-)

Loved the duet between Christina Aguilera and Tony Bennet. She cleans up very nicely, and my wish for her is that she would spend more time looking classy.

And GOD BLESS Lewis Black and that rant. If we hadn't been so far gone on the pizza, we would have shambled to our feet and applauded.

And shame on EVERYBODY who stood up when Al Gore took the stage. Left wing uneducated brown-nosed lemmings, the lot of them.

However, Brad Garrett and Joely Fisher stole and stole and STOLE the show. She had on a drop dead cleavage causing yellow dress.

Joelly: "Do you like my dress?"
Brad: "You should see it from up here. (Note to self: Buy milk.)"

Hated the 'round' seating. Not fair to half the audience.

And of course that lovely batch of chickenshit censorship.

We should have been allowed to see who was a pottymouth so we could have a better understanding as consumers of their products.

The Lasker Awards were announced over the weekend, and thanks to them, I discovered yet another idiot:

Two scientists were honored over the weekend by the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation for their development of artificial heart valves, which have saved the lives of millions of heart disease patients over the past five decades.

Alain Carpentier, a professor of vascular surgery at H�pital Europ�en Georges Pompidou in Paris, and Albert Starr, the director of academic affairs at Providence Health System in Oregon, are the recipients of the 2007 Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research.

The awards, often called "America's Nobels," have been given since 1946 to those who have made outstanding contributions to medical research. According to the foundation, 72 winners of the Lasker Awards have gone on to win the Nobel Prize.

The stupid cow who was reading the news at the top of the hour referred to this extremely prestigious award as 'America's Noble Prize.'

Making the word Nobel rhyme with 'global'. Oy, oy, oy vey.

You know, even a ding like ME knows how to PRACTICE what's going to be pronounced over the air at the top of the hour.

I get so tired of hearing and seeing media people make mistakes on the air.

Oh, well. Grunch, grunch, grunch.

I had a peaceful weekend and I hope you did as well.

Have as good a Monday as you can.
