Letterman Has 'Elaine's' Support

Told you Letterman won't and will not let this McCain thing go. If you need a refresher, you can click here and here. Now, Letterman's got Julia Louis Dreyfus' support on the matter. And get this: Letterman, who usually doesn't tape shows on Fridays, has decided he will change protocol this week. Why you ask? Because the vice presidential debate is Thursday and he didn't want to wait until Monday to comment.

Al Davis Is Sad Looking

The Raiders fired coach Lane Kiffin today and managing general partner (as he likes to be called) Al Davis (the decrepit fellow above) was front and center at an Oakland news conference to explain the reasons behind the decision and to demonize Kiffin as best he could. What better way to keep from paying Kiffin the rest of a two-year, $4-million contract than by bad mouthing him? I actually feel sorry for Davis though as the eccentric innovator who Raiders fans had come to love has become a pathetic old man. On the radio today, San Jose Mercury columnist Tim Kawakami, who has had his own run-ins with Raider folk, spoke of how dysfunctional the situation has become and that Davis' inner circle is getting smaller and smaller with each passing season. It's basically Davis, John Herrera and Mike Taylor. Kawakami claims the trio gets to work daily around noon and sometimes not even until the late afternoon, apparently scheming against everyone outside the circle and rarely attending practices. It is a bizarre, bizarre situation for a franchise in a billion-dollar league. But who's going to tell Davis he's lost it? Surely no one who matters and he wouldn't listen anyway. It's a sad story all around.

Jack Cafferty Is Back At It

Jack Kafferty is at it again though not quite as harsh as his other assessment of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin though this one's still entertaining. My favorite line: "If B.S. were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street by herself." Actually, that was Cafferty quoting Kathleen Parker, a conservative columnist for the National Review online. Perhaps sensing he better not eff-around with Cafferty, this time Wolf Blitzer kisses his ass.

Heather Locklear Mugshot

Heather Locklear was arrested over the weekend for driving under the influence of a controlled substance. We like to post celebrity mugshots here, so there you go. Heather actually doesn't look half-bad for being all messed up, but she does seem to be showing a little bit of the crazy eyes and she definitely needs to get her hair did. Look at those roots! If you want to read the story about what happened, click here.

Springsteen To Play Super Bowl

In case you haven't heard, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will play at halftime of the Super Bowl this February in Tampa, Fla., which is about the best news I've heard in a long time. I am a tad surprised that Springsteen would agree to play at event that's sooooo corporate (I'm mean the guy won't play Staples Center because there's too many luxury boxes), but then again why not? It will be interesting to see what he plays, but I've got to believe that "Glory Days" (because of its sports theme) and "Born in the U.S.A" (because most stupid Americans see it as an American pride song when they blurt out the lyrics and not as the war protest song that in reality it is) will be on the agenda, which is why I picked the photo of Springsteen above since it's from that album. Gotta figure "Born to Run" will make the list, which probably leaves one more, maybe two, songs left. Anyone want to predict?

R.I.P. Paul Newman

Paul Newman died Friday at 83 after a battle with cancer. I will always remember him the way I do in the photo above as Reggie "Reg" Dunlop of the Charleston Chiefs from the movie "Slap Shot." One of the other memories I have about Newman is when he was a guest on David Letterman's first show on CBS at the Ed Sullivan Theater in 1993. Well, technically, Newman wasn't a guest, rather he played a part in a bit Letterman did about contacting the spirit of Ed Sullivan. During an old clip of Sullivan, the host welcomes the 1960s Newman to his show, but when the camera pans to the crowd, it's showing Letterman's audience and sure as hell, there's Newman sitting there. He gets up, everyone goes nuts and then came the thing I remember most. As everyone is cheering wildly, Newman is standing there acknowledging the love by pointing a fake six-shooter with his fingers at everyone as if to say, "Right back at cha! Right back at cha!" I found the video on YouTube though the quality is poor, but you can access it at this link if you'd like to see it. It was just Newman being classically cool and that's one of the reasons so many people loved him. Even Letterman noticed and made sure to point it out.

Jack Cafferty Speaks His Mind

CNN's Jack Cafferty cracks me up. Here is his take on Sarah Palin and boy does he tell it like it is. He first plays a clip from Palin's interview with Katie Couric and he's just incredulous afterward, even telling Wolf Blitzer to stop making excuses for this pathetic excuse of a vice presidential candidate. Even during the clip you can see how disgusted Couric seems to be having to listen to Palin's blather.

College Football Sign O' The Day

This is an Alabama fan sticking it to those around him in hostile territory during the Tide's stunning 41-30 win over the Georgia Bulldogs at Athens. Surely, there had to be some Atlanta Falcons fans in the stadium, so this worked on two levels.

BV Cheerleaders Again

If you've been reading here for a while, you know our admiration for cheerleaders. And if you read during the Olympics, you understand how much we enjoyed the phenomenon of cheerleaders at beach volleyball events. When the Olympics ended, we were sad that this brilliant combination of sun and skin might have to wait until London 2012 (and can we really expect it to be of the same quality in dreary London?) But then today we stumbled upon some recent photos of beach volleyball cheerleaders at an event in Puerto Vallarta and now we can feel good again at least for a little while. Here's what I dug up:


For starters, here is a three-frame montage of one cheerleader with curly hair:



Now, we're talkin':



Can we start over? I'm really not THAT picky:



Here's another set of three of the same cheerleader:



Not a bad angle at all:



Not sure if the gloves add of take away from the overall picture:



Now this is from another day, but it's same one from the first few photos. Put bag over it and do you business?:



This is definitely her good side:



These MexSport photographers really work hard:



Hard to believe it could be cold in Puerta Vallarta at this, or any, time of year:



Now let me just say that you have to tap into your perverted side to take a photo like this. But then again, what does it say about me since I'm posting it?:



By the way, if you're looking for more examples of beach volleyball cheerleaders from the Olympics, do a search for "Oly Photos O' The Day" on this blog and you'll hit paydirt.

Letterman Slams McCain -- Again

I was talking to a friend at work after the initial slam by David Letterman on John McCain for canceling his appearance and I said, "You watch, Letterman won't let this die. There will be a joke about McCain every night between now and the election." Sure enough, Letterman again went off on McCain on Thursday night's show. Now I don't think he'll keep up the intensity of these "attacks" but I'll bet he will keep it up with at least a little something between now and Nov. 4. We shall see.

Oregon State 27, No. 1 USC 21

It's always a good day when USC loses. And there's nothing better when it happens to the football team, especially when it is top ranked and oozing that Trojan arrogance that makes everyone just love their student athletes and their beloved leader Petey Carroll (above). Even better is when it happens on national TV with no other college football game going to distract from the attention. Thank you Oregon State for making it two in a row over USC in Corvallis. I love the Beavers.

World's Most Wanted Wiener

A friend of mine at work and I are amazed that this commercial for Wienerschnitzel continues to run. Not only run, but often during shows or sporting events that you know there probably are young kids watching. Granted, it's really funny, but with the uptightness in this country I can't believe no one has tried to censor this one. Especially with the tagline at the end: "Wienerschnitzel: The world's most wanted wiener." Yeah, I guess so. Don't get me wrong, I think it's hilarious.

Kim Kardashian Is Dancing

I've never been a fan of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" but I may have to tune in occasionally as long as Kim Kardashian remains in the competition. Kardashian, famous for her rump, gives me fits because most of the time she seems like just another entitled famous-for-being-famous celebutante. But other times she actually doesn't appear to be that dumb and she's also enjoyable to look at, so... Stay tuned.

McCain Pisses Off Letterman

David Letterman can certainly be a bitter sort, so when you cross him don't expect that you get anything less than volley after volley from the talk-show host attacking your credibility. That's the reality that presidential candidate John McCain is facing after canceling on Letterman at the last minute because McCain said he had to hurry back to Washington because of the country's financial crisis. If that weren't enough to piss off Dave, he was "politely livid" (is one way to phrase it) after learning that McCain then did a live interview on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. "This just doesn't smell right." Classic.

Jenna Fischer At The Emmys

Gotta say the Emmys was a bit of a snooze-fest on Sunday night, but it still had its moments. Steve Martin was good, Ricky Gervais stole the show during his bit with Steve Carrell, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart were there usually brilliant selves and Don Rickles was ... well ... Don Rickles. Aside from that, not so much. But the reason for this post is to display a picture of one of our favorites, Jenna Fischer on the red carpet. Sigh.

Oktoberfest In September

Gotta take a trip to Germany some day. What's funny about this photo is the caption information that was supplied:

Oktoberfest tradition : A woman wearing traditional Bavarian clothes drinks a beer at the "Theresienwiese" of the Oktoberfest beer festival in Munich, southern Germany.

I'm sure it was the "traditional Bavarian clothes" that drew the photog to his subject. I will say that's a HUGE mug though. I'd like to frost me up one of those one day.

Idaho Cheerleaders Censored

Apparently enough people up in that liberal bastion that is known is Moscow, Idaho, have gotten the ear of the University of Idaho's administration because the school has told its cheerleading squad that it would have to get new uniforms because the ones that had were considered "too sexy." These developments are tragic I say. What is this world coming to? What's you opinion on this? But if you really want to see something "too sexy" then click on this probably NSFW link that shows cheerleaders at an Argentine soccer game. Talk about revealing.

Ryder Cup Wives/Girlfriends

The Ryder Cup gets underway Friday morning at Valhalla Country Club in Louisville, Ky. All week there have been special events leading up to the U.S. vs. Europe tournament that has seen the Americans pitifully get their asses kicked more often than not the last 12-15 years. But I digress ... Athletes always seem to have hot wives and golfers are no exception, so here are the top three (from what I could tell) from the players competing this weekend. Who would be you pick?

First up is Phil Mickelson and his wife Amy:

Here are Justin Rose of England and his wife Kate:

This is Paul Casey of England with girlfriend Jocelyn Hefner:

Damn, even the pasty Englishmen get these babes. Sigh.

Seth MacFarlane's Latest Venture

We are big fans of "Family Guy" around here, so most things related to its creator, Seth MacFarlane, always grab our attention. There is new YouTube feature called "Seth MacFarlane's Calvacade of Cartoon Comedy" and it shows short vignettes that are similar to the flashbacks/cutaways you might see on a "Family Guy" episode. Right now, there are only five clips on there since I think this began just last week. A few of them are funny, but I trust there will be more hits than misses. Here's hoping at least. Below is an example, though having to sit through a Burger King commercial is kind of annoying. Oh well. If you're interested in going straight to the YouTube channel, the link is here.

New Low For Repubs?

See, this is the mentality that we are living with when it comes to a certain arm of the Republican party. These images below have to be some of the most misleading, racist propaganda that could exist in a national political race. So where is this from you ask? Some right-wing extremist must have created this on his computer right? Well, close. This is actual waffle mix that was being sold at the "Values Voter Summit." Values? Apparently only if you're white. Amazing, but not surprising.



The text below is from the description supplied the Associated Press photographer:

A box of Obama Waffles is seen in Washington, Saturday, Sept. 13, 2008. A vendor at a conservative political forum was selling boxes of waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its top flap. The product was meant as political satire, said Mark Whitlock and Bob DeMoss, two writers from Franklin, Tenn., who created the mix and sold it for $10 a box at the Values Voter Summit sponsored by the lobbying arm of the Family Research Council.

More Cycling Podium Photos

Here are some recent podium photos from cycling events, mainly the Tour of Spain.

This is Spain's Alberto Contador as he gets a peck. I like the one on the left. Kinda into it. The one on the right is going through the motions and looks bored:


This is Spain's David Garcia Dapena during the Tour of Spain with some different hostesses. Now these hostesses are way more into it, especially the one of the right. She likes to be watched?:


This is Spain's Egoi Martinez during the Tour of Spain with, I believe, the same two from the first photo. Much better effort in this one:


This last photo is of Alessandro Petacchi of Italy during the Tour of Britain. Although these hostesses might not be as hot as the others, I do like how the one on the right seems to be nuzzling in the way she is and not just pursing her lips:

Chickipedia Rules!

Not sure how long this site has been up and running, but it's one of the best I've seen as far as one-stop shopping for ... well ... you know ... hot chicks. It doesn't seem pornographic to me, not as far as I can tell, but still be careful if you should go exploring while at work or in mixed company, as I have not been able to fully explore it myself. My favorite feature is their search engine. You start to type in a name and it immediately gives you a list of possibilities with pictures and all. Once you find a "hot chick" the information about her is fairly basic but there usually is an impressive list of other links. And the photo gallary of the said "hot chick" are good. I found a photo of Carmen Electra that I've never seen before and oh man, let me tell you. Be careful clicking this one. Very well done. I urge you to give the site a shot. You can access the link here. Let me know what you think. And no, this is not a paid endorsement.

Something About Parker Posey

I've been made fun of, in some circles close to me, about my sometimes ... how shall we say? ... eclectic? taste in women. One of those women who seems to fit that mold but still does it for me every time I see her is one Parker Posey. I don't know what it is what about her but I like it. I don't expect you to understand because I can't explain it either. Anyway, Parker is in a new movie, "Broken English," and here she is arriving for a recent screening of the movie in France.

Cat who ate the canary?

This looks like a high school yearbook photo:

Those dreamy eyes:

Again with that shiat-eatin' grin:

Showing her classy side:

Porrista Pics O' The Day

We haven't done this in a while, but God bless Yahoo Mexico and the (perverted?) photographers South of the Border as we bring back the Porrista Pics O' The Day:

Now, I realize that what it says on her shirt is a type of Mexican bread, but being American it's still kinda funny that a hot chick would walk around with this on her chest:

Boy she's cute:

These are cheerleaders for soccer club Cruz Azul being a little silly:

Where are the cropping tools when we need them, because I tell ya, if ever there was a need, this is the perfect time. Yeah, I know that's mean, but if you're going to wear this kind of a outfit, well you'd better expect some scrutiny right? And it's not as if I hate everything:

Those Cruz Azulians doing a routine of some sort:

The Man With 1,000 Names

Anyone know who this is below? You will definitely know the name once it's revealed. This guy is world famous though he has been out of the limelight for quite some time. Any guesses? Answer below.

Answer: Why, it's none other than Middle East madman Moammar Gadhafi, the de facto leader of Libya since a 1969 coup. He was a very dangerous figure, so we were told, during the Reagan presidency, but look at him now. He looks a little different when he's not wearing his dark glasses, military garb and choking on his corn-cob pipe. Here, he looks as tanned and relaxed as a drug lord in Miami. Now, you might wonder if I spelled his name correctly above, but there has been constant uncertainty over the years on exactly how to spell it, evidenced by this passage from his Wikipedia page:

Due to the inherent difficulties of transliterating written and regionally-pronounced Arabic, Gaddafi's name can be transliterated in many different ways. An article published in the London Evening Standard in 2004 lists a total of 37 spellings; a 1986 column by The Straight Dope quotes a list of 32 spellings known at the Library of Congress.[33] Muammar al-Gaddafi, used in this article, is the spelling used by Time magazine and the BBC. The Associated Press, CNN, and Fox News use the spelling Moammar Gadhafi, Al-Jazeera uses Muammar al-Qadhafi, the Edinburgh Middle East Report uses Mu'ammar Qaddafi and the U.S. Department of State uses Mu'ammar Al-Qadhafi. In 1986, Gaddafi reportedly responded to a Minnesota school's letter in English using the spelling Moammar El-Gadhafi.[34]

I guess Gadhafi has been in the news lately after a recent visit from U.S. Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice and when I saw that photo of him, it reminded me of some old, washed-up singer from some band of long ago or some child actor that was an old man now or just some entertainment person, in general, who has lived a fast life that was finally catching up to him (thus the worn and leathery appearance). In fact, here are a couple of others who came to mind when I saw Moammar.
