Randy Newman...Ellen Degeneres opening the show?

Didn't see a thread so here's one to yakk on.

[Mercat]

I did go through a Randy Newman phase.... great spokesman for NO. But hey, IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT NO.

[cgk]

Good, it isn't just me that thinks that is weird/inappropriate/callous/out of touch.

[kenth]

There was another thread on this, but I'll go ahead and repost my rant here. ;-) Why does it have to be on just about every channel? No matter, Seargent York is playing on Turner Classic.


I'm so sick of these guys. Every time there's a disaster, do they quietly write a check? No, they make a big damn deal just to get on tv. "Look at me, look at me!"

Shut up, don't sing, and donate your own money. A whole lot of us out here donated right away and didn't need to wait to see their ugly mugs on tv.

I wonder if they'll try to out "act" each other with the fake shows of compassion.

[StarFan]

If you get bored, HBO is replaying 9/11.

[lainie]

Is any cable network broadcasting this? I think I'm just out of luck til 8.

Brewers 0 Astros 0 Top of 1st inning

[Halls]

Is it me or does this song suck being sung right now?

[Imgr8t]

Okay, here's my take on the first "dig" of the night. Cameron Diaz - after telling a story about a young boy saving a life.. "if a six year old boy can be a leader so can you." Maybe I'm paranoid, but I took this as a dig at the implied lack of leadership that Bush didn't show... you know it's all Bush's fault.

[sfimom]

I am so glad I don't have cable!

BTW HAlls, re your tagline......first that now this:

That is one hard looking woman..

[KarenMarie]

cable news channel had live 24 hour a day coverage of this diaster as it was happening. Do we really need a bunch of half wits that can hardly read a cue card telling us what happened and asking us for more money?

when I see a list of all that are appearing and how much they donated, I might have some interest. Doubt it, but I just might.

They say this will not be censored or edited. Ripe for the lefties preforming to the lefties watching, I think. YUK

[Sunshine55]

Nice job...thanks!

[Halls]

i rented some movies and plan to turn one on here soon after my baby goes to bed.

[maggief]

Jewelry.

[humblegunner]

Saw it and turned it off.

It is labeled incorrectly.

"Celebrity Redirection of Undervalued Donations" I think is the correct name.

[eyespysomething]

I'd say more out of touch than anything.

Is anyone at the fundraiser mentioning poor Mississippi?

[BurbankKarl]

This song is offending the athiests!

[mombonn]

I'm watching the O'Gibson Factor. Thankfully, O'blather has Fridays off!

Only when John hosts do I watch the O'Gibson Factor.

"George Bush hates midgets."

You mean like the .50 cal bullets ( not the complete road) I use to were with a few 7.62 x 59 bullets (again no rounds), my representation of the peace symbol.
