FOX's Foxes: Your Input Sought, Fellow Freepers

My Fellow FReepers: I would like your input on the potential of the FOX News Channel putting together a calendar, featuring the Foxes of FOX.

Would there be much interest in such a calendar? And, if so, who would you like to see featured?

Some possible FOX's Foxes: Laurie Dhue, E.D. Hill, Jillian Barberie, Donna Fiducia, Kiran Chetry, Terri Keenan, Molly Falconer, Carol Iovanna, Jane Skinner, and many more tht I can't think of right now.

Where do I start? Paula Zahn is no longer with FOX, thank God. E.D. Hill (THAT blonde on Fox & Friends) does have a brain to go with her looks, as evidenced by her unscripted commentaries. And while Jillian Barberie plays into the dumb blonde stereotype, her zest for reading, and not just dumb romance novels, shows a thirst for knowlege, which you need a brain to have in the first place.

People are more than their television personalities. To see the whole person, one need look beyond the pretty face, to the underlying person.

I really don't care about them any more than I care about charactors on T.V.

I don't care to see their hooters either. I care about my family, country and friends.

And, goodness sakes, I don't even care about royalty.

You evidently are fixated on celebrity and I am not. They are no better no worse than me or you unless you give that position in your life. After seeing the role models of the kids I came to this conclusion:

Empty Lives

Oh, pity those with empty lives
who live thru other's eyes
they do not participate
they just sit and wait
until their idols do their thing
only then do their lives take wing

They adore those in the limelight
whatever their heroes do is all right
no matter how gross or low,
they bask in the glow
of their heroe's fame
and pay to see their show

One wears underwear over outer things,
flaunts her sexual flings,
another surrounds himself with little boys,
using them as sexual toys?

It's one foul thing after another
still it doesn't bother
those with the empty lives

Why they continue to idolize
their heroes, defies
common sense and decency
the reasons elude me
