Last night, I met up with my old chums the lovely Sarah X. Dylan and the gregarious Greg Nibler of Fun Employment Radio. It was a going away party for Art Webb, another CBS Radio friend who’s leaving to work in Los Angeles. There was quite a memorable performance as you’ll see in this video.

Oregon voters have decided to tax the rich and businesses. The rich are rumored to be making plans to move across the state line to Vancouver Washington, making the city the Riviera on the Columbia. They are packing their bags now. Expect a traffic jam on I-5 as they make a hasty retreat north.

She comes from a family with a dad who was voted Cosmo’s Sexiest Man in America after posing nude for the magazine (with his genitals covered) and a mom who is..surprise.. a reporter for a Boston TV station. Mom is Gail Huff of WCVB-TV. Is this the coolest family in America right now? You bet they are!
They are the new cool Republican Party set to sweep America. A Grand New Party (not your grandpa’s GOP) where John McCain’s wife Cindy came out in favor of gay marriage yesterday, joining hot daughter Meghan who was already a supporter.
Not a moment too soon. The GOP is anxious for all the new urbane imagery to sink in so we’ll forget about the unfortunate mistake that is Sarah Palin. You remember her traveling hillbilly show with Joe The Plumber that delighted small town America, and proved disastrous for getting the big city vote. America will prefer the shiny new toys over over the crazy woman from Alaska. They’re correct!
Massachusetts Liberals
Massachusetts liberals would like to remind us that their state may be blue, but it has a creamy red center. They DO know what Republicans are, voting TWICE for Ronald Reagan, and have endured 16 years of Republican governors.
John Edwards’ well timed, slimy admission to fathering a lovechild (finally) with his campaign aid has escaped scrutiny due to the fact that the media’s already stretched resources are being concentrated on Scott Brown and the Haitian earthquake.
Catch up with clips from last night’s Conan, Leno, and Letterman HERE.
Here are Facebook settings that need to be changed now.
Republican Senator elect Scott Brown claims his dramatic win is not a referendum of President Obama. He was just able muster voter discontent on unemployment, the economy, and were unsentimental about keeping the spirit of the late Senator Kennedy alive. Democrat Martha Coakley blew a 31 point lead in two months. She let her guard down, took voters for granted, backing down on campaigning last month. Voter anger caught fire in the final days of the campaign. Massachusetts is among the bluest of blue states mostly swinging toward Democrats, but over half of all register voters are independents. They more than likely were the determining factor in this election.
Being a native of the Boston area, and a political junkie covering elections since the Reagan years, this reporter finds this one of the most fascinating in many years.
Another power earthquake has struck Haiti.
The Bay State may shock the nation today by electing a REPUBLICAN to replace the late Senator Ted Kennedy. Polls show double digit leads for Republican Scott Brown. Taking a page from Hillary Clinton’s failed Presidential run, Democrat Martha Coakley dropped the ball on the campaign trail, taking time off over the holidays due to overconfidence and was forced to call in the big guns of the party at the last minute. We’ll see if it works. If it doesn’t, the election of of Scott Brown could seal the fate of Barak Obama, making him a one term President. Yes, it’s that serious, especially in the bluest of blue states.
Registered Democrats in Massachusetts outnumber Republicans 3-1. BUT, over half the state voters do not belong to either party. It’s snowing there now. We’ll see if it effects turnout.
Massachusetts occasionally elects a Republican. Mitt Romney (back when he was a LIBERAL) served as Governor from 2003-2007. Gays also got the right to marry there under his watch. Romney is credited for their health reform program, which is the model for the national one the Democrats are now dragging their feet on. Romney ran against Ted Kennedy in 1994 and almost won. Massachusetts voters have a history of firsts including the election of Edward Brooke the first African American to the US Senate in 1966. He too was a Republican and the last African American to serve the Senate from the GOP.
This is sooo sick. There’s a report of a cruise ship docking on a private Haitian beach just 60 miles from the calamity. Some passengers frolic in the sun and have a cookout!
It’s been nearly two decades since the bitter behind the scenes cat fight between Jay Leno and David Letterman graced the pages of the tabloids. Yes, it was that long ago. In 1992, Tonight Show host Johnny Carson relinquished his desk to the victor, Jay Leno. Now that there’s been a sudden interest in NBC’s tawdy affairs, this may be a good time to reread “The Late Shift,” the damning inside look at original Leno/Letterman debacle. This reporter, like many viewers abandoned the pre- 1990’s practice of watching late night TV after the 11PM local news when Carson retired. In all fairness, Letterman’s Late Night CBS show hasn’t fared much better. The truth is, the arrival of Leno probably triggered the end of water cooler chat about the Tonight Show. Anyone recall coworkers sharing side splitting moments from the previous evening’s Leno offerings? Aside from the Hugh Grant prostitute bust show, Leno’s Tonight Show never became the pop culture icon that Jon Stewart’s show has. It became a sign of the times that the innovation in quality programming was now to be found on cable. So far, Conan O’Brian’s most talked about Tonight Show was the episode when he fell on stage. It’s clear that he hasn’t been given the change to prove himself that his predecessors have. Conan’s ratings have soared in the past few days.
Conan O’Brien Falls On The Tonight Show And Suffers Head Injury
Now, late TV history will repeat itself. Leno will win the Tonight Show, again. Conan will be offered another show on another network just as Letterman was, and within a couple of weeks nobody will be talking about old network late night talk shows anymore. It’s another rerun of 1992.
