No need to channel surf when you can LOOK AT THIS

Have I mentioned that we've been without real cable TV for two years, ever since I quit my full-time gig for the freelance writing world? We have suffered with network TV, public access, some religious-nut station, Lifetime Movie Network, home shopping and (I could pop my right eye out with salad tongs) FOX News.

Since I'm going back to work in the very near future (once my background check -- insert Law&Order theme music here -- is completed and all skeletons have been yanked out of my closet, bones clattering this way and that), I think we may be financially on the road to real programming.

What I really mean here is that my self-imposed abstinence from Bravo, Comedy Central, A&E and CNN's ANDERSON COOPER is coming to an end! (I was much better with my abstinence-only commitment than Bristol Palin, it seems.)

I know. Second time in a week I've gushed about AC. Perhaps I'll devote one day a week to All Anderson, All the Time? Coop's Corner? Any thoughts? I have missed the boy so.

Meanwhile, I'm watching hurricane coverage on that F-word channel. With the sound off. Pretending I can't read the RNC scroll.

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...
