There is something about that tall lanky guy, Vince Shlomi. He does not necessarily make me want to buy a slap chopper, but he does make me want to watch his infomercials. At points, he seems part Coney Island carnie or barker, and at other points, he's like that obnoxious frat boy you once had fun hanging out with. In short, he's a goofball. It's weird -- he can be calm and over-talkative at the same time. How is that even possible? Is there even such thing as subdued exuberance? With him, it's all that and more. It's almost like I trust the guy, but then again it's hard to trust a guy who's trying to sell me a slap chopper, while flinging kitchen utensils around the television set. So, perhaps Vince Shlomi isn't the best pitch guy around. To this day, I have yet to phone in an order for anything he's hawked, ShamWow included. That said, he's still a fun guy, a person I enjoy while board, flipping through the directv channels.
I'm getting so tired of that commercial where various women complain about how John McCain hasn't done anything for them. Where one says, "over and over he opposed our right to choose," and it ends with, "I don't know who Senator McCain is looking out for, but it's not us."
Ummm - judging from those two statements, he's looking out for your unborn children, the ones you refuse to care about. Right to choose? That sounds so innocent, doesn't it? Who can argue with your right to choose? But you don't really want the right to choose, you want the right to kill your unborn children. Call it what it is. It doesn't sound quite so innocent when you say it that way, does it?
You have a right to choose - just do it before you get pregnant.
One of those commercials about the wimpy California cows came on today. You know - the ones about the cows that don't know what snow is and just take it easy all day. My normal reaction to those commercials is to get irritated. We live in Wisconsin. There are plenty of cows and dairy farms here, and some of the best cheese in the world is made in Wisconsin. It really takes some nerve for the California Milk Marketing Board to air those commercials in Wisconsin.
Then it hit me that I should really be glad they're showing those commercials here. It's not like they're going to convince anyone who lives here that California dairy products are better than Wisconsin dairy products. All they're really doing is wasting their money. If that's what they really want to do, then I'm all for it.
I guess the same goes for Anheuser Busch advertising here, though we do love to see the Clydesdales at the State Fair.
We never watch football, but we do always watch the Super Bowl. Actually, we watch it to see the commercials. However, I am so conditioned to ignore commercials that I forget to watch them! Luckily, my son gave me a link to a web site with all the Super Bowl commercials, so I can watch the ones I missed. How cool is that? You gotta love the Internet! and teenage sons, of course.
And it's an anonymous posting. Those drive me crazy, and I shouldn't read unsubstantiated writings. And one anonymous account shouldn't be set as the standard for millions. I could give an equally…

Yes, if there's a clear separation that could work. I'm a bit worried about the freedom of religion thing too, but maybe if it was very very clear that there's a difference between the government's…
