If I were Catholic, I'd have to confess this...

I sat here. On the couch. For an entire hour. It's an hour I can never get back. Wasted. 60 minutes.

I sat here, cringing and snickering, rolling my eyes and making nasty faces. It was like watching a train wreck...I didn't want to watch the carnage, but I couldn't avert my eyes.

I sat here, an otherwise intelligent, witty, talented and motivated human being, and watched...

Tommy Lee Goes to College.

Throughout this reality television program about the former drummer of '80s heavy metal hair band Motley Crue and ex-husband of Pamela "Bouncing Baywatch Babe" Anderson, the following people were mocked:

- Blonde co-ed tutors
- Band geeks
- Nerdy professors in bow ties
- Intelligent overweight co-eds
- Marching band instructors
- The chancelor of a Big 12 university (Univ. of Nebraska)
- An overly tattooed, pierced, nicotine addicted, drug addled, washed up, mediocre 40-something who still guffaws at a horticulture instructor who talks about one plant species' "hairy buds"

And this viewing came two short days after watching the Roast of Pamela Anderson on Comedy Central. This much of Tommy and Pam within one week can't be healthy. I think I might need a methodone program and a round of strong antibiotics, just from watching.

I know you must think much less of me. I'll try to make it up to you.

Don't feel bad. Had I not been working I would've watched it too out of sheer curiosity. I have guilty pleasures of that nature. For example, I LOVED Sorority Life on MTV. *hangs head in shame*

Amy, I am dissapointed in you. But in your defense, if you're watching "regular" TV anymore, you're pretty much stuck with this kind of trash (or one of those stupid, predictable CSI/Law&Order clones).

But here's my nomination for "Worst... Show... Ever"

What could be more exploitive than a bunch of teens kidnapped with their parents' consent, abused and brainwashed, their travails made into a public spectacle.

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
