Anchors, Alpacas, Al Terzi ... oh my!

As you can see, 2 alpacas came to visit on the set of "Better Connecticut" and like many who come to Channel 3, those alpacas had to take a look at our newsroom and decided to chill with anchor, Al Terzi.

Dear Hollywood ...

Can you shut the hell up??!!

I don't know about you but over the past week or so I have become so sick and tired of listening to the Hollywood "elite" give their opinions of Gov. Sarah Palin.

Don't get me wrong, everyone has a right to their opinion, but not Hollywood.

Why you ask ... I'll explain.

Celebrities are in a position where everything they do and say is watched by the public. People look up to them and when they name a candidate they are choosing to support it can cause people to sway their vote. Do you for one minute think that women haven't decided to vote for Barack Obama because Oprah has endorsed him?

While we are on the subject of celebrities lets now name the 3 douche bags of the week ...

Our first award goes to actor Matt Damon.

Last week he said having Sarah Palin in the White House would, quote, "be like a bad Disney movie. The hockey mom stepping in to be president."

What the hell is that about, Matt? Can't you just say you don't agree with her politically? No, you have to make cheap shots that make you sound like an ass. If I was your public relations rep I would have quit. You want to see a bad Disney movie, I hope Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Minnie Mouse beat the shit out of you in an alley somewhere.

Second, lets discuss singer Pink.

She said that Sarah Palin, quote, "terrifies her."

Bitch, have you looked in a mirror lately. You terrify me!! You're not even worth anymore of my time. Just keep churning out shitty songs that degrade your fellow Hollywood people.

Finally, there is Lindsay Lohan.

She called Palin homophobic. First of all, being against gay marriage doesn't make you a homophobic. I know pleanty of people who don't agree with gay marriage but have gay people in their lives that they support and love.

And Lindsay, what makes you so credible on this subject? You've been gay for, what, a litte more than 3 weeks now? Either that or you just like walking around with girls that look like boys. You are not credible, so shut your mouth. You support Obama and tried to have a fundraiser for him and he flat out told you "no thanks." Even the people you support don't like you.

Stop getting involved in politics and continue being the trash of Hollywood ... you and that he-she you are always with.

Well that does it for now. Case in point, you may not agree with what Sarah Palin stands for, but that doesn't mean you need to make stupid idiotic comments that make no sense. Like I said before, and I'll say it again, attack her or question her based on her policies, not on personal things that have NOTHING to do with this election.

I hope she becomes the first female vice president on November 4th ... just to piss off all you celebs.

And dear Hillary ... stop with all your bitter betty comments. You're just pissed you won't be the first female in the white house!

It's Saturday Night!

So I am sure many of you saw the 'SNL' skit on saturday night. It was the season premiere, and of course, they decided to poke fun of Gov. Sarah Palin.

I have to say, Tina Fey did an awesome job playing Palin. Here look, voice and hand gestures were dead on. Since this is America, and we like to make movies about everything.

I guess we know who the front runner would be to play Palin in a tell-all movie.

We shall see ...

Talk about 'Going Green'

This polar bear, at a zoo in Japan, has been swimming in water with algae in it.

Now his fur coat is stained green!

Enough is enough!

I think many will agree with me that since both presidential candidates announced their running mates this election has heated up. And it got even hotter when Gov. Sarah Palin stepped into the picture.

She is the real deal, down to earth and is the type of woman we need to see take the reigns of this country.

However, I am having some major issues with how she is being treated by the media and naive Americans.

I think that it is absolute bullshit that we are questioning her ability to serve as vice president of this country because she is a mother. Shame on EVERY asshole out there who is questioning her on that, instead of her policies and beliefs.

Maybe Barack Obama shouldn't run for president because he has 2 little girls!?

Back in the 70's Joe Biden's wife and 3 children were in a car accident. His wife and one of the kids died and as his other 2 sons lay in a hospital bed recovering from the accident and the loss of their mother and sibling, Joe Biden was sworn into the senate at their bedside. Why wasn't he motherfucked for putting his career ahead of his family? Oh wait, I know ... it is because he is a man!

And lets discuss the pregnancy surrounding the Palin family. Yes, the oldest daughter, Bristol, is pregnant. People say Gov. Palin hasn't discussed the issue and guess what, she doesn't have to. By saying in her speech at the convention that "we have ups and downs like any family," she acknowledged the issue. By having the father of Bristol's baby in the audience, she was acknowledging that that are accepting and will ge through this.

I still don't know who will receive my vote in November, but from now until then the focus needs to be on this country and the direction it is taking and not her personal life. She has what it takes to lead and I am feeling the Palin Pride!!

"Knock Out! Sarah Comes out Swinging."
-New York Post

Bravo, Gov. Sarah Palin, on a job well done! You proved the media and the critics wrong; you do have what it takes to be this country's next vice-president.

And in the process, you've left me torn 50/50 on who I will vote for in November.

Pregnancy of Presidential Proportions

Let me just start out by saying that I am neither a democrat or republican. I consider myself an independent. I am sure many of you will agree with me when I say that this presidential election has been an interesting one. We are on the cusp of possibly having our first black president and our first female vice president, and if you take a second and digest that, it is pretty cool.

While I am on that topic, lets talk about Gov. Sarah Palin. First of all, I think it is cool that McCain chose a woman; it mixes things up a bit. But I have an issue with how she has been portrayed over the past couple of days in the media. First lets discuss her 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy. I understand that we love to dive into the lives of others and we do it to celebrities all the time. We have every right to question the lives of those who want to hold public office, but what does Palin's leadership have to do with her daughter being pregnant? That should not be the focus of this election. When Bill Clinton was fucking around on his wife and sticking cigars in vaginal regions everyone would say, "that is his personal life." No, that shows a lack of loyalty and dedication and you lied to your country like a douche bag. So how come we can't look at Sarah Palin's situation and say the same thing, "it is her personal life?"

People have been scrutinizing her experience as well. I like Barack Obama, but if you really want to compare straws, Gov. Palin has more experience than he does. He is a senator and she is a governor. She is a mom, who knows how to take control and all these assholes on TV who say that her role of as a mother will get in the way of her helping to run the country, well, they are a bunch of morons.

I didn't see anyone saying that Hillary Clinton wouldn't be able to raise her horse-looking daughter, Chelsea, or that President Bush and his wife wouldn't be able to raise their 2 daughters, Jenna and whatever the hell the other one's name is.

There is also the "alleged" rumor that Palin's husband got a DUI back in 1986. That was more than 20 years ago people and quite frankly, who gives a shit? Clinton admitted on MTV to smoking pot and you didn't say everyone mother fuck him over that. And again, he stuck a cigar up Monica's cooch ... I mean that is just plain ole unsanitary.

President Bush admitted to drinking and having an alcohol problem and while he got some slack for that, the issue died down.

So to sum all this shit up ... give Gov. Sarah Palin a chance and concentrate on the issues. This country has better things to worry about that who Palin's daughter's baby daddy is and that her husband got pulled over for having a Goddamn rum and coke.

Besides, she used to be a news anchor in Anchorage, Alaska and that is some pretty cool shit.

So buckle-up folks. This election is going to be one wild ride.
