Jamie, this is your dream, but you are a lingerie model... you are a dime a dozen. Tiger used you and you are famous for all the wrong reasons. Enjoy your fame while it lasts. Plus, the pennies on the dollar you got from the magazines are not going to last...

except this isn’t Pretty Woman and she is not Julia Roberts (because she does not have a horse face and is not rich)

In a few years, you will be back to modelling at car shows...but at least you apologized...

Some of the jumpoffs are talking, trying to extend their moment in the sun.  The thing that I don’t understand is that don’t they know all they are really doing is coming off looking like tramps and skanks?  YOU SLEPT WITH A MARRIED MAN!  Yes, Tiger has a lot of fault in this.  Just like some movie I was forced to see, the main character says, “Love should have brought your @$$ home last night.

But, it takes two to tango.  The jumpoffs knew he was married, so don’t be shocked…The Herald Sun brings to light the claims of another one of his alleged conquests, Jamie Jungers.

LINGERIE model Jamie Jungers yesterday said of ex-lover Tiger: “He deserves everything he gets.”

Eighteen months into their wild fling, she claimed she ended it racked with guilt about his wife.

Blonde Jungers, 26, said: “People are getting to see he’s not the great family-oriented guy everyone thought he was.”

This might seems naive of me, but if you were so wracked with guilt over that you were a willing participant with a married man for him to have an affair, why didn’t you make this apology when you “ended” the affair? Why are we finding out about this “affair” now? It seems as though you are in asset acquisition mode. Signs of Blue Star Airlines all over again…

Tiger did what?!?! Sell, SELL, SELL! Wait, with who? She is a shank....hold for now

She claims he flew her all over America to satisfy his three-times-a-night lust during tournaments.

She said the golf ace wanted sex on demand and loved dirty phone chats with her.

She said: “The sex was amazing, just crazy. It got better the more we saw each other. He was amazing in bed.”

They romped in a hotel room hours after meeting, just eight months after his 2005 wedding.

She claims that afterwards, she asked him: “You just got married. Is it going OK?


“He said, ‘Yes, it’s fine, she (Elin) is in Sweden with her family’.”

So, here is where she admits to knowing that he is married and she has weighed the consequences of her actions.  She didn’t care then and just wanted to know what Tiger thought.  He was thinking with the Little General, so he was all good with her being a party to his affair.

She alleged that days ago she was offered cash by Woods’ team to stop her selling her story,

Another of Tiger’s mistresses, porn starlet Holly Sampson, 26, said: “He’s like the whitest black boy you’ve ever met in your life. His teeth are perfect and he’s a perfect gentleman. He likes blondes.”

We all wish we had teachers like this...

Why does this make him white? Black people can’t have good teeth and manners?  And who doesn’t like blondes?  But, Holly, you are not a blonde.  I don’t know if the curtains match the drapes, but the roots above seems to tell a different story.  This proves that you are doing the only thing that you are good at, which is being used as a sex rag doll.  Hopefully people will buy your porn tapes.  I won’t because I will continue to download clips or bootlegs. But, you are a racist, so I would do dirty things to you and laugh…

It was alleged yesterday that days before 33-year-old Woods publicly confessed to adultery, his agents also offered to pay off the woman who lifted the lid on his lurid double life.

Ashley Samson yesterday told the National Enquirer, which broke the story with her claims two weeks ago: “His people offered me $200,000 to change my story. I said I would not lie for Tiger because the truth is the truth.”

another skank that wants the loot...look at how she cahsed the dude from Bones....

British media yesterday named TV presenter and former pin-up Kirsty Gallacher, a household name there, as a friend of Tiger’s.

I need more friends like this...

She is now married and pregnant. But in an interview several years ago when she was single, she described him as “wonderful, kind and talented – not to mention incredibly handsome”.

She added: “Whenever he’s over here, he gives me a call.”

You can see why he called.  I would too….Tiger now has a ton of haters, but they are not going to be able to stop him…

Clearly the winner in the looks department

and this isn’t beef to eat…I went over to Bossip.com and saw this story.

Khloe and Lamar’s ex jump off, Claudia Jordan, had an exchange of words at a Hollyweird party and from what we hear, it wasn’t pretty.  More details on the flipside. Claudia and Khloe, who roll in the same social circles, found themselves in a face to face, verbal altercation at a friend’s home during a small party.  We hear that Khloe went hard on Claudia and damn near made her cry.  But we hear that Claudia had it coming to her because she instigated the whole fight.  Claudia arrived first and then Khloe came in after her, solo.

They initially tried to ignore each other but all hell broke loose when Claudia was heard saying “I can’t believe he left me for a MAN” and “Oh, well… I guess big girls need love, too!” It wasn’t too long before Khloe heard about Claudia talking behind her back and approached her on it. She told her if she wanted to talk trash about her, Don’t do it behind her back! We hear curses and tempers flared as the two went at it. After a while we heard Claudia disappeared.

and once I read it, I said to myself, damn I have been saying the same thing here and here. Postdrama took it one step further and made the Chyna comparisons and pictures

Damn, they do look a lot alike...

Lamar might have married Chyna.  But, Khloe has been looking run down and haggard, like all the attention she so desperately carved is catching up with her.   I hope the pre-nup allows easy access out when you wake up and discovered you married a man.

Plus, Claudia was funny.  I don’t think that Chyna could have come up with jokes like this.  It is a product of the inner-city lifestyle she never lived.

I can't believe that I got caught! Why can't my chickens keep the roost closed?

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger…

If you only read the blog carefully.  You got part of it down.  Do not talk and exercise your right to remain silent.   But, you violated one of the basic principles we espouse here at Too Old…. Do not buy your jumpoffs or side pieces anything!

Now, they have the proof and they are going to start cashing in, since the gravy train for most if not all of them is over.  Now that they have to eat on their own two feet, they are going to use you to continue to eat.

First, it was Rachel Uchitel, who started all the investigations into the private life of Eldrick Woods.

Nice, somewhat exotic looking, can clearly see what Tiger was seeing

Once the feeding frenzy started, she hired Gloria Allred as an attorney.  If you are a guy, when you hear that name, your hands go directly to your private parts, because that is what she is coming after….and she usually leaves with it.

Once that got out to the rest of the chickens, they had to get their little piece of the pie.  The Daily News is reporting about the Sultry Seven that are now linked to Woods.

Tiger Woodsother New York girl spent the day holed up in her Chelsea apartment Sunday after she was outed by the Daily News.

Cori Rist is now one of at least six women linked to the golf world’s top swordsman.

Now, did they really use “swordsman” in the article?  He is still known for golf and no one calls that a sword.  I know guys who ahve juggles seven women before and they are not swordsman, they are dudes who love the box.  I can’t blame them, if I could get away with juggling seven I would.  Actually, I wouldn’t sneak around.  I would just not get married.  That is your mistake tiger.  You went for wholesome, when you really wanted to get down and dirty.  Seven is not the world’s top.  Other players have that many baby’s mamas, so let’s not go crazy.

The 31-year-old leggy and busty blond spent Sunday calling friends, saying, “My involvement with Tiger Woods has just surfaced,” according to a pal.

Rist also had to explain the sudden media attention to her 7-year-old son, who has idolized Woods since his mother got him an autographed golf club from the Grand Slam-winning legend.

What could have been...

This has shades of Sam Bowie written all over it.  For those of you that don’t know who Sam Bowie is.

Samuel Paul “Sam” Bowie (born March 17, 1961, in Lebanon, Pennsylvania) is a retired American basketball player in the National Basketball Association who is probably best known for being selected before Michael Jordan in the 1984 NBA Draft.[1] He was a 7′1″, 235 lb center.

Enough said.  He was drafted ahead of MJ.  How do you live that down?  In the case of Greg Oden, he was taken ahead of KD, Kevin Durant.  But, back to that in a minute.

In 1984, Bowie entered the NBA draft, and after the Houston Rockets selected Hakeem Olajuwon with the first pick in the draft, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Bowie. North Carolina shooting guard Michael Jordan was picked third, by the Chicago Bulls, and would go on to be one of the most acclaimed players in basketball history, earning five NBA Most Valuable Player Awards and winning six NBA Championships.[5] Future Hall of Famers Charles Barkley (power forward) and John Stockton (point guard) were also available at this point during the 1984 draft. Portland’s draft decision is regarded by ESPN as the worst in NBA history.[6] Sports Illustrated called Bowie the biggest draft bust in NBA history in a 2005 list, arguing that teams should not draft according to current need but to a player’s potential.[7]

Now, I might not call him the biggest draft bust, in fact he isn’t the biggest draft bust on the Trail Blazers. (and no, I am not calling Oden a bust either)

nice afro, but the game was lacking...

LaRue Martin (born March 30, 1950 in Chicago, Illinois) is a retired American professional basketball player. Martin was taken first overall by the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Portland Trail Blazers in 1972, drafted ahead of future Hall of Famers Bob McAdoo and Julius Erving.[1] Martin has been cited as the worst first overall draft pick in NBA history.[1]

A 6-foot-11 center out of Loyola University Chicago, LaRue Martin entered the NBA with much fanfare in 1972. Martin set the basketball world abuzz when he outplayed Bill Walton in a game between Loyola and UCLA, in the midst of their storied title runs, in 1971–72. The Portland Trail Blazers were so impressed with Martin that they made him the first overall pick in the 1972 NBA Draft.

However, Martin never caught on in the NBA, and after the Blazers drafted Walton in 1974, he never had the chance. In four seasons Martin never scored more than 7.0 points per game, and he never shot better than .452 from the field. He notched both of those numbers during the 1974–75 season, when Walton missed most of the year with injuries.

Martin prematurely retired at the end of the 1975-76 season, one year before the Blazers won their first NBA championship (1977). In four seasons he averaged 5.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.[1]

Now that is a bust for you.  The thing that you should really remember is that the while there are better players, or players who are better, the injury thing is one that you cannot really control.  But, Greg Oden gets the Mr. Glass label from the movie Unbreakable, with Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson

ESPN.com gives us the bad news for Oden.

Guess we will have to wait another year to see the future... He actually looks relatively young in the picture

PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland center Greg Oden will likely miss the rest of the season after fracturing his left knee cap Saturday night in the Trail Blazers’ victory over the Houston Rockets.

“He’s a strong kid,” said general manager Kevin Pritchard, visibly shaken by the latest injury to befall the 7-foot center. “He’s going to bounce back from this.”

The Blazers said Oden will need surgery. A timetable for his return was not immediately set.

“I’m obviously disappointed having worked so hard to get to where I was. This is a setback but I’ll be back. It’s in God’s hands now,” Oden said in a statement released by the team. “I want to thank the fans, my teammates and everyone in the Blazers family for all of their good thoughts.”

Oden, the No. 1 pick in the 2007 NBA draft out of Ohio State, has been plagued by injures his entire NBA career.

The 7-footer missed rookie season after undergoing microfracture surgery on his right knee. Last season, Oden sat out six games after injuring his right foot in the season opener against the Lakers, then missed 14 games after the All-Star break with a bone chip in his left knee. He finished the season averaging 8.9 points and 7 rebounds.

Oden lost weight during the offseason and was averaging 11.7 points and 8.8 rebounds this season as a starter.

“I thought he was the most consistent player this short season,” coach Nate McMillan said. “For him to go through this — it’s just unfortunate for him because he worked so hard.”

Blazers guard Brandon Roy said Oden spoke to the team at halftime, after he had learned of the diagnosis.

“He told us to keep fighting,” Roy said. “He feels like he’s letting us down.”

Hopefully, he will fight though this and continue to become the next big thing.  we was extremely consistent and he provided the Blazers with both offense and defense, something that Joel Pryzbilla cannot.  The first two cases with Sam Bowie and LaRue Martin were bad scouting and bad decisions.  Kevin Durant is an excellent player and a quality individual so far in the league.  He is the modern day Scottie Pippen.  He can guard 2, 3, or 4 on the floor with no problems and can chase down pg’s too.  But, Greg was and is an excellent talent too.  He can go left or right, due to the wrist accident his senior year.  He is a good free throw shooter and an elite shotblocker and rebounder.  Those factors are reasons to still have valued him higher.  At the time, Durant was just an elite scorer, not much else.  He clearly has blossomed into one of the best in the Association right now, but that is hard to predict.  The jury is still out here….even though some want to call the race after the first lap.

Coach Mike Brown and Homer share the same cat scan

Coaching is a very touchy subject.  There is no right way to do it.  As long as you bring wins to the franchise, then you are doing a good job.  You can go outside the bounds of decency as a coach to get those wins.  Woody Hayes is the shining example of a coach going too far.

right, left, right, left they toothless and people say G*dd@mn they ruthless... The original gangster Woody Hayes

The video of the event is shocking as well.  Look at how he winds up to land the blow…

As someone who walks both sides of the line, the job is not easy.  On the high school level, you can have (thankfully this year I don’t) parents in your ear about who to play, or the Athletic Director.  On the varsity, we give suggestions to the JV coach on who and what we want to have develop.  But, as a coach, you go with your gut and your experience.  The News-Herald explains.

Cavaliers coach Mike Brown often governs with his gut.

He makes important decisions by how he feels in the pit of his stomach.

It’s an art form.  There cannot be only one way to accomplish your goal. As a fan, we have the right to criticize the maneuvers of  the coach.  Mike Brown of the Cavs deserves a heaping pile of scorn right now, for not playing Zydrunas Ilgauskas.  The News-Herald continues…

Brown’s decision to bench Zydrunas Ilgauskas on Saturday didn’t go over well with the 7-foot-3 center, his teammates, his agent and many of the fans.

It was supposed to be Ilgauskas’ big night.

Ilgauskas, 34, came into Saturday’s game against Dallas tied with Cavs general manager Danny Ferry with 723 games played, first in franchise history.

Everything was set for the Cavs to honor the major accomplishment. However, Brown inexplicably saddled Ilgauskas with what is thought to be his first “DNP-CD” of his career.

Arguably, this guy has been one of the three best centers your franchise has ever had and this is the way the guy goes out?  It took LeBron to put into words what most people who knew about the record was thinking.

LeBron James, though, had the clout to say what needed to be said.

But why didn’t Brown?

“After having a little bit of time to think about it, me personally, I definitely thought he should have played,” James said. “I’m not trying to stir up anything with Coach. I don’t know who made the call.

“One game is a smaller thing. What was on the line (on Saturday) was way bigger than us playing the Mavericks. That was Z breaking the record to become the franchise leader in games played.”

Ilgauskas reportedly was steamed about Brown’s blunder.

“I think it’s a sensitive subject,” James said. “I’m not one to raise havoc in the locker room, but for me, I speak the truth. As a friend of his, I was very upset, and I know he was also.

“I stand behind Z on whatever he feels.”

Coach Mike, less is more. This is a lesson learned from Tiger...

The bigger problem that I have is that the coach really doesn’t understand that he has made a mistake.  Lets look at his statements after the game.

Brown, though, needs to have a sitdown with Ilgauskas.

“We haven’t sat down and talked face-to-face,” Brown said. “It may come to that.”

Brown said if he had it to do over again, “I’d try to play him.

This is the first clue that he really has no understanding about his team or about the record that was about to be set.  Why would you TRY to play him?  You would JUST PLAY HIM!  Even LBJ had a decent suggestion about the way to work it.

James said one way Brown could have handled the situation was to start Ilgauskas against the Mavs and then substitute for him a minute or two into the game.

That way, he could have gotten a standing ovation from the fans and the Cavs could have honored him with a plaque.

“There were a number of ways for that to be accomplished,” James said. “It could have been done.”

EXACTLY!  It could have been done, but I don’t think that the coach really sees it that way.  He is so caught up in the winning aspect that he fails to see his players as anything but soldiers that can be sacrificed for the greater good.  You burn out your players, you will have nothing to fall back on when you really need it.  The coaches justification continues…

“He was on the minutes’ sheet to play his normal 20 to 25 minutes. They went small, and the team that was out there played well. I stuck with it.

“It wasn’t planned. It just happened. There was nothing for me to say. It was based on matchups and the course of the game. You can call it a mistake or a coach’s decision.”

I think that it is pretty clear that is was a mistake.

Brown said he’s handled his players well since he’s been with the Cavs.

“I’ve done a decent job of treating guys right,” he said. “Maybe in a lot of guys’ minds, I didn’t this time. I don’t know. That’s part of being a head coach.”

Being a head coach is about being a leader of men (or in my case a leader of women) and being someone that they look to when the times are rough.  last night, in our scrimmage, we came out flat and we were down at the half.  It took a rousing halftime by the women to get their heads on right and the trust in the coaching staff to get the game back.  We went on a 16-7 run and ended up winning.  You have to have trust and I don’t think that Mike Brown has it.  When your BEST player says that you did someone dirty, it’s because you most likely did someone dirty.  Own up to the mistake and make it right.  Everything else are just excuses that keep the problem alive.

There was an opportunity for Ilgauskas to play at the end of the game, but Brown didn’t want to disrespect the center.

“That’s when you start battling yourself,” he said.

Why do you care?  Either the matchups were are weren’t there.  Either you wanted to respect him (then you should of played him to get the record and the adulation of the fans) or you didn’t care about his feelings (in which case you should have thrown him in there as well)  This would have gone away had you met with the players and told them of your sub pattern (since you should have figured that they might go small) and just played him early and gotten it out of the way.

You better hope that this doesn’t lead to a mutiny, because management usually sides with the players, especially if you are LBJ, in a walk year.  For this, Coach Mike, you are the hater of the week!

7 out of the past 8 years, CAL has beat Stanford...

That made my evening…

First, I want to express who B.S. it is that Versus showed the Big Game. This is a game that is made for network T.V. There is no reason to deny anyone the pleasure of seeing the hatred between these two schools and the resulting battle on the field.  With the game of the cable channel Versus, most of the crew could not watch the game, because we have DirecTV.  Comcast owns Versus and they have been licensing the right to show it on DirecTV.  But, in some contract dispute, Comcast took it’s ball and went home.  They claim that DirecTV (who owns an exclusive contract with the NFL to broadcast the games)  That means that the conference that the crew follows (Pac-10 all day) can have hit or miss coverage of the games.  For me, fortunately, I was in Chicago, and the hotel at the Residence Inn has regular cable, so they have Versus.

ESPN provides some context to the score.

It was over when… Cal’s Mike Mohamed intercepted a pass from Stanford QB Andrew Luck at the 3 with less than 2 minutes left.
The game was a back and forth campaign in the second half.  The defense stepped up really big and forced the redshirt QB Andrew Luck into some bad throws.  Considering that the game started off with Stanford going up 14-0, the defense really kept its composure late.
Gameball goes to… Shane Vereen. The Cal back rushed for a career-high 193 yards and three touchdowns on 42 carries.

This is a dude who really wants it.....

What a beastly game Vereen had.  While all the pregame accolades went to Toby Gerhart, and rightfully so, people forget about Shane, like the forgot about Dre.  We all know how that went when people started doubting Dre.  This game fully cemented that if Jahvid Best takes his show to the NFL, that CAL will be just fine at the running back position.  This the hard running of Vereen, that stat below makes more sense.

Vereen has responded with the two best games of his career the past two weeks in wins over Arizona and Stanford. Running effectively off direct snaps in Cal’s form of the wildcat, Vereen overpowered the Cardinal. The Bears drove more than 70 yards on four consecutive TD drives starting late in the second quarter, three ending with short runs by Vereen.

“I never carried that many times and never thought I’d carry that many times,” Vereen said. “I just had so much emotion, I didn’t think about any tiredness or pain.”

Stat of the game… 19:14. The difference in time of possession as Cal held the ball for 39:07 compared to Stanford’s 20:53.
ESPN continues with some perspective and maybe some understanding on why the D stepped up so much in the victory.
We’ve heard a lot of talk about, ‘Oh, they’re going to go to the Rose Bowl,’ ” Mohamed said. “We felt like they were overlooking us a little bit. For us to come out and to prove all these guys wrong, it feels good. And we’re keeping the Axe in Berkeley another year. You can’t get much better than that.”And it’s tough to imagine a better Big Game than one that had Rose Bowl implications, memorable performances by Vereen and Stanford’s Heisman contender Toby Gerhart, curious coaching decisions and a most dramatic finish.

 

The curious coaching decision was that Harbaugh went for a 4th and 8 that missed and gave CAL great field position, which they turned into a field goal 2ith 2:42 remaining in the game.  But, that left CAL only up six, with plenty of time for the coach who was nicknamed Captain Comeback as a player.  But, the interception on the 13 closed out the game.

One mans glory, is another mans pain, and it belongs to Toby Gerhart, who did everything in his power to win the game.

This marked the third time this season that the Cardinal lost a game in which they led by at least 14 points. This one was especially painful because it came against Cal and ended the team’s Rose Bowl hopes. Stanford would have been eliminated anyway when Oregon beat Arizona 44-41 in double overtime, but now the Cardinal can’t even share the conference title.

“This one hurts,” Gerhart said. “Everybody takes pride in winning this game. The season has been decent and getting to a bowl game is nice but we had greater goals than that. When all is said and done we’ll have an empty pit in our stomach that we didn’t get the Axe back.”

The parties are less fun when you lose.  Stanford, you just got caught up in the hype… Welcome home AXE!

You mean Chicken of the Sea is actually Tuna? Really?

 

Now, we are not ones for pageants here at Too Old, but this controversy was too sweet to pass up.

Now, you apologized for the one sex tape that was leaked.  Now, there are news of others.  The Daily News reports…

It looks like Carrie Prejean spoke too soon when she called her recent sex tape the “biggest mistake” of her life.

Either the seven other sex tapes that have just surfaced aren’t actually salacious, or else the former Miss California has a little more to atone for.

That is a tape I wouldn't mind downloading...but not paying for

RadarOnline.com has just learned that the dethroned beauty queen has no less than eight sex tapes and 30 naked photos to her name. As in her previous sex tape, she performs solo on each video.

Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.  I am not judging.  I am just glad to see that you are prodigious in the amount of porn that you are willing to star in.  After your book flops, I bet Vivid, or Larry Flynt will pay you big bucks to become a movie star lingerie model video vixen/porn star.

And you do things to yourself? High Five!

Some of the new sexy photographs that have been unearthed Prejean allegedly took herself, of own reflection in a mirror, alternately topless and completely naked.

Which gets me thinking about a joke….

Todays Specials:
Draft Beer $2.50
Cheese Sandwich $3.50
Handjob $10.00

Ali was very excited. He quickly counted all of the money in his wallet and made sure he had enough. He then walked up to the bartender. She was really hot and looked like she was the only one working at the bar that day. Ali asked “Hey Yaar, Are you being the one who is giving the $10 handjobs?”. She smiled seductively and said “Yes, I’m the one who takes care of EVERYTHING“. Ali quickly pulled out his money and said “Baby, wash your hands… because I want a cheese sandwich!”

I don’t know why, but that one just stuck with me.  Carrie might be doing that in a few years and I am going to that show with a twenty and she can keep the change…

Prejean created a national controversy earlier this year when she spoke out against gay marriage during the Miss USA pageant. Her stance put her at odds with the pageant committee, which she later sued for libel, claiming she had been discriminated against for her religious views.

Prejean settled out of court on November 3 after her first sex tape surfaced. On Wednesday she threatened to walk off Larry King Live when the host questioned her about the deal.

Perhaps she can chalk up the moment as another error to add to her growing list.

 

 

Don’t let the door hit you in the a$$, Lou.  I used to enjoy listening to you, but somewhere, you went off the deep end.  You continued the birther movements going with your continued questioning of President Obama’s birth certificate, even though that was an issue already decided.  Your boss even sent you a memo, telling you the story is dead.

In part, Klein writes, “It seems this story is dead- because anyone who still is not convinced doesn’t really have a legitimate beef.” Klein asked CNN researchers to dig into the question of why Obama couldn’t produce the original birth certificate. The researchers contacted the Hawaii Health Dept. and confirmed that paper documents were discarded in 2001 when the department went paperless. That reportedly includes Pres. Obama’s original birth certificate.

Then, your rants on illegal immigration bordered on outright racism.  Your time has come, you have been surpassed like the remnants of  Jim Crow laws. Whatever your thinking on illegal immigration,  you are not going to stop it with your racist rhetoric.  I can’t wait to see your brand of advocacy.

New York (CNN) — CNN’s Lou Dobbs stepped down from his controversial role as an advocacy anchor at the network at the end of his show Wednesday night, saying he plans to seek a more activist role.

“Over the past six months, it has become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us, and some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving as well as to contribute positively to a better understanding of the great issues of our day and to continue to do so in the most honest and direct language possible,” Dobbs said during his 7 p.m. broadcast.

Dobbs, 64, said he had discussed the issue with CNN President Jonathan Klein, who had agreed to a release from his contract “that will enable me to pursue new opportunities.”

I worry about what those other opportunies are Lou. Are you going to be riding with the rengeade groups that hound illegals and give them a taste of Lou Dobbs Justice? Or, are you going to conintue the meme of the President is not legimatate because of his birthplace?  You and Orly would make a cute couple… Media Matters sent out a release questioning you, and the network for your views back in July.

Washington, DC — Today, Media Matters for America called further attention to Lou Dobbs’ continued use of his CNN show and his radio show to legitimize conspiracy theories about President Obama’s birth certificate. Dobbs’ mainstreaming of such claims comes even as other CNN figures — including his stand-in, Kitty Pilgrim — have repeatedly and resoundingly debunked them, calling them “nutty” and “ludicrous.”

“CNN has a very serious Lou Dobbs problem on its hands,” said Eric Burns, President of Media Matters. “All eyes are on CNN to see how the network will handle a host who has clearly become a stain on its journalistic credibility.”

Media Matters released the following web video today on Dobbs’ undermining the network’s credibility: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXmqTmRPAng

The network was happy to see him go.  I think that they just got tired of having to defend his nonsensical rants on immigration and his tireless slandering of Latinos and Hispanics.  Glenn Beck is keeping a seat warm for you.

If you had only known, you could have saved everyone a lot of trouble...

“With characteristic forthrightness, Lou has now decided to carry the banner of advocacy journalism elsewhere. We respect his decision and wish him, Debi [Dobbs' wife], and his family the very best.”

Herein lies the rub.  Lou was good, but went off the deep end.  I remember watching a lot of his financial stories with interest.  He clearly has some down home spun charm that he can use positively, or negatively, and he has gone to the dark side for me.  It’s okay to have different beliefs than what I have, and for you to espouse them, just have facts and evidence to back it up.

Dobbs, who is the last of the 29-year-old network’s original anchors, said he was considering “a number of options and directions.”

He cited the growth of the middle class, the creation of jobs, health care, immigration policy, the environment, climate change and the U.S. military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan as “the major issues of our time.”

But, he said, “Each of those issues is, in my opinion, informed by our capacity to demonstrate strong resilience of our now weakened capitalist economy and demonstrate the political will to overcome the lack of true representation in Washington, D.C. I believe these to be profoundly, critically important issues and I will continue to strive to deal honestly and straightforwardly with those issues in the future.” Read Dobbs’ full statement about his departure from CNN

Those issues, he added, are defined in the public arena “by partisanship and ideology rather than by rigorous, empirical forethought, analysis and discussion,” and he vowed to work to change that.

During his second stint at CNN, Dobbs positioned himself as “tough, relentless, independent,” lashing out at what he described as the deficiencies and “partisan nonsense” of both major political parties, and injecting advocacy journalism into his coverage of topics ranging from free trade to immigration.

His no-holds-barred, sometimes acerbic style brought him a loyal following, but also attracted controversy both to him and to the network, especially over the subject of illegal immigrants.

Dobbs will continue as anchor of The Lou Dobbs Show, a daily radio show that began in March 2008 and is distributed to more than 160 stations nationwide by United Stations Radio Networks Inc.

I will help you load up the U-Haul Lou...

Lou, you win a diabolical hater T-shirt as a parting gift….John King will be brought in to replace you. NPR sheads some light on John King.

While Dobbs will continue on his nationally syndicated radio show, he did not specify his new role. CNN announced Thursday that his 7 p.m. weekday time slot will be filled in 2010 by a new show built around longtime CNN political reporter and anchor John King. The selection of King, who strives never to reflect personal ideological positions on the air, is more consistent with CNN’s intended brand as a source of objective reporting.

Remember when you used to do that Lou?  The NPR story sheds more light on why it was really your time to go.  You didn’t fit in the pattern of fair and unbiased reporting.  You seemingly forgot what a reporters job is.  You RESEARCH the story and have concrete facts, not just freestyle off the top of your dome.

By his own account, Dobbs was radicalized by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. He evolved on the air into an economic populist and a hard-liner on illegal immigration who often sparked the ire of Latinos.

Dobbs’ ratings rose for many years, but he drew much fire from critics drawn from disparate business, liberal and Latino circles.

In one instance, Dobbs was forced to apologize for his characterization of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce — a mainstream business group — which he said was “effectively an organization that is interested in Mexico’s export of drugs and illegal aliens to the United States.”

Dobbs sometimes overstated or misrepresented the facts as he sought to connect illegal immigrants to crime or other societal ills, a frequent theme. In one instance, Dobbs and a CNN reporter seemed to attribute a startling rise in leprosy cases to illegal immigrants from Latin America. There was no such startling rise — and what cases there were would have been more likely to have had Asian origins.

His radio show took on an even more severe edge.

So, Lou, it was your time to be put out to pasture, or sent to the glue factory.

See Lou, the birther story is over....just like your career at CNN

Damn, what a difference a professional photograher makes!

The things that we do for love have no  boundaries.  This morning, on the way to work, I was listening to Angela Yee in the morning on Sirius Radio.  She has Saigon, who was being put on blast because of his attempts to get at some video model.

To me, this is no big whoop.  We, as men have done a lot of things to get the box.  We have driven all hours of the night, flown across country to get the box.  I once drove to Iowa from Minnesota to get the panties (and it was worth it and I would do it again…) and I am not ashamed of that.  We do what we have to, to get satisfaction.

Meet Lisa Nowak 46, a mother of three.  Seems innocent enough, but the Guardian has the story of the tragic triangle love affair that led to this court case.

A former astronaut charged with confronting a romantic rival in an airport parking lot after driving 1,000 miles from Houston to Orlando pleaded guilty today to an attack on a romantic rival.

One thing about the story that I find somewhat hilarious is that Lisa was wearing a diaper, so she wouldn’t have to make any pitstops along the way.  Stopping for gas is okay, but a potty break is out of the question.

It's okay now that I am an elected official....right?

Lisa Nowak, a Navy captain, pleaded guilty to felony burglary and misdemeanor battery. She originally had been charged with two felonies — attempted kidnapping and burglary — along with misdemeanor battery.

Nowak confronted her romantic rival, Colleen Shipman, in the parking lot of Orlando international airport in February 2007 after driving from Houston.

Shipman had begun dating Nowak’s love interest, former space shuttle pilot Bill Oefelein.

What this story doesn’t add is some of the backdrop that drove here to act a little crazy.

Nowak and Oefelein had a three-year affair before he left both her and his wife for Shipman. Nowak learned of this when she found copies of emails, many lodged as evidence, including one sent by Shipman when Oefelein was on board the shuttle Discovery.

Now, she found out about the affair and clearly lost her mind.

Wearing a wig and trenchcoat, Nowak followed Shipman to the parking lot and tried to get into her car, then attacked her with pepper spray. Shipman was able to drive away.

Police arrested Nowak a short time later in the parking lot near a trash can where she was seen getting rid of a bag. In Nowak’s bag police found a steel mallet, a knife, a BB pistol, rubber tubing and several large garbage bags.

I guess you have to look good for your court appearance. Shipman is in the background of this shot

“Almost three years later, I’m still reeling from her vicious attack,” Shipman told the judge after Nowak’s plea, holding back tears. “I know in my heart when Lisa Nowak attacked me, she was going to kill me.

“I believe I escaped a horrible death that night,” Shipman said. An appeals court ruled last year that diapers, latex gloves and other items found in Nowak’s car could be used as evidence in a trial that had been scheduled for next month, but her six-hour police interview after her arrest could not. The court said investigators took advantage of the former astronaut, who had not slept for more than 24 hours, coercing her into giving information.

Nowak, 46, is a married mother of three. She flew on the space shuttle in 2006, but was dismissed from the astronaut corps after her arrest and has since been on active duty at a Navy base in Corpus Christi, Texas. Oefelein, 44, also was forced out of Nasa and now lives in Alaska with Shipman.

Well, at least love in one case won out.  But, they all lost, since they were all kicked out of NASA when the story broke.  I would have to put Lisa in the category of women not to date.  But, hopefully, she learned that attempting to keep it real, can go wrong….horribly wrong.

Down on the highlights but everything else looks great!

No, he really didn’t say that, but he definitely hinted at the subject title.  The Seattle PI gives us the lowdown

First Jeremy Piven blamed sushi for mercury poisoning, and now the actor claims he grew man boobs (aka moobs) from drinking excessive amounts of soy milk.

“I was the guy that dabbled in soy milk, but now I’ve found out soy milk has enough estrogen for me to grow breasts,” Piven told Scottish STV. “I had to put the soy milk down. It was a very confusing time.”

Consumer and nutritional sciences expert Jill Hamilton-Reeves told AOL that she learned the 44-year-old Entourage actor was drinking 12 cups (about three-quarters of a gallon) of soy milk a day. “That means he was taking in approximately 360 milligrams of isoflavones a day,” Hamilton-Reeves said. “And isoflavones are what people generally believe to be responsible for any effects in male reproductive hormones.”

Perhaps someone needs a lesson in moderation.

See Jason…this is why we wonder about you and it’s the reason that Ronin was worried about your health.  Stay off the soy milk…..
