IS GREATNESS DEAD…
OR AM I GETTING OLD?

“I Love Lucy”, “Gunsmoke”, “Laugh In”, “All in the Family”, “Dallas”, “Dynasty”, “The Cosby Show”, “Seinfeld”, “Everybody Loves Raymond.” This is just a partial list of television shows that dominated the ratings and defined greatness. If you watched television (shame on you “elitists” who don’t) when these programs came on, you made it your […]

NOVEMBER 4, 2008:
THE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING

This is it. My final blog before America elects a new president. No matter what the outcome is on Tuesday, it has been an extraordinary experience to share this historic election process with all of you here at UTC.
Huge early voting suggests the excitement generated by this election and the speculation of massive […]

FALL BACK, CATCH UP!

With less than two weeks to the election and all the debates over I can FINALLY catch up on a few things entertaining (or not) this fall. Let’s get started!
I could not wait for Grey’s Anatomy to come back. It’s one of my favorite hour dramas where the off screen drama is sometimes equal to, […]

DEBATE TRILOGY COMPLETE: OBAMA IS ‘THE ONE”

The third and final Presidential Debate is over, finally. Even the most enthusiastic political junkie is ready for this campaign to be over. The candidates look tired and I think we are all ready to Just Vote! The economic crash has all Americans and the world desperate for action, hard decisions and leadership. I would […]

SECOND DEBATE, McSAME RESULT

The second Presidential debate came the same week as did some of the most negative campaign ads and stump speeches from Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama. It also came after Congress passed and inflated bailout bill that swelled to over 800 billion once it was padded with earmark projects. That set the stage for […]

DEBATE NOTES:
THE FIGHT THAT WASN’T

DEBATE NOTES: THE FIGHT THAT WASN’T
For the most anticipated and hyped Presidential debate between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain, everyone wanted to see a knockout. When it was over, not only was there no knockout, but there was hardly a fight. During the 90 plus minute debate, the two men rarely looked […]

FALL TV: IT’S ON NOW!

FALL TV: IT’S ON NOW!
Summer is officially over and the new fall television season is rolling out! Let’s start with some of the old favorites; “House,” “Boston Public,” “Heroes,” “Dancing with the Stars,” “Law and Order SVU”, “Smallville,” “Real Sports with Bryant Gamble, “Real Time with Bill Maher” and “Deal or No Deal” are all […]

McCAIN FALLS SHORT

John McCain’s acceptance speech was terrible and he is clearly lost.
If you watched tonight (I had to) the only thing that’s clear is, the factions within the Republican Party are at war with each other. On one side, they have the foaming at the mouth, acrimonious, fundamentalists, like Sarah Palin. On the other side, there […]

PALIN’S PROPAGANDA
& PUNCH LINES

I watched Sarah Palin address the Republican National Convention. “The most peculiar Vice Presidential pick there’s ever been,” according to Republican Ben Stein. I heard a great deal about her life, her family and one liners directed at Barack Obama and Joe Biden. She was bold, aggressive, arrogant, condescending, confident and clearly divisive. In […]

YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH: CAMPAIGN TV ANALYSIS

We’re all watching the Democratic Convention. We’re all listening to the same audio. We’re seeing the same pictures. When will someone comment on what they saw and heard instead of what they want you to believe?
Here are the facts. Barack Obama has been leading in the polls in a general election versus John McCain […]
