Greetings...

The football playoffs are officially underway and since the closest
Da Bears are going to get to the Superbowl is a few feet from a TV,
my loyalties are now with my home team, the Arizona Cardinals. They
beat the Packers and are headed to New Orleans to play the Saints
next week. I would be a little more excited if they had invited
their defense to the game and as enjoyable as the win was, the
stress of the game and the overtime that had to be played gave me
and Flyboy plenty to gripe about. Flyboy was in Austin, Texas,
but made sure he called me every few minutes with some colorful
comments on the game. He had to leave as they started to play in
overtime and didn't know they pulled it out until he got to the
airport to go to work...

Every team he ever roots for seems to do better when he DOESN'T
watch them play. Thank goodness he had to leave the hotel before
the game was over...

Twin Beam Laser Light
BOTH and LED & Laser Pointer...

List Price: $9.99
DEAL PRICE: $2.99

This little light does so much that it is impossible not
to love it! First it's a powerful LED light that will last
for up to 100,000 hours.

This LED is on a gooseneck attachment that allows you to
move it in ANY directions. It's great as a book light or
even auto repairs.

Need to do a presentation? No worries.. this little item
(base is just 2 1/2", Fully extended it is 6 1/2") has a
red laser pointer that can reach up to 500 feet!

It has a clip that makes it easy to clip to your shirt
pocket a book or even a compartment in a purse.

But what is REALLY, REALLY cool about this item is the
bottom of the base is magnetized. So you can stick it on
a magnetic surface and position the light any way you need
it.... giving you hands-free operation! Grab one or two,
but there is a limit of six (6) per order.

Although some people will not care, or even hate the next thing I'm
going to talk about, there are plenty that do care, so you can decide
whether or not you want to continue after the next line or two...

This week brings back that wonderful show you love to hate, American
Idol. There will be some changes this year with the biggest change
at the judges' table. Paula Abdul is gone and Ellen DeGeneres will
be taking her place after a few weeks of the infamous bad performances =

that make you wonder why you watch the show. I admit, the bad performance=
s
are humorous and one reason why so many people actually watch the show...=


Real talent has been discovered from the show such as Kelly Clarksen,
Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, to name a few. While=

my all-time favorite, David Cook, may not have had the same commercial =

success as the others, he's still the one I never get tired of hearing,=

no matter how many times I play his CD...

Last year had talent and although Kris Allen won the competition, the
whole season was Adam Lambert's season and win or lose, you knew he
would probably do well and get plenty of publicity. Unfortunately,
the publicity became more about his sexual orientation and less about
his talent after the season ended. While there was no doubt in most of =

our minds about Adam being Gay, it didn't matter to me because I thought=

he was a true entertainer and full of talent. I still feel that way and=

after getting his CD, I think he will do just fine...

My "gripe" with Lambert is the way he behaved on the American Music A=
wards.
He not only pushed the envelope, he literally licked it and sent it aroun=
d
the world. When Shakira simulated a sex act with a speaker on another mus=
ic
awards show, I voiced my disgust at it and this is no different and NOT=

because of a gay sex act. This goes with what I have been talking about=

recently and the need to shock and throw good judgement out the window...=


After his performance, he was banned from an appearance on Good Morning=

America and when he went on the View, he was taped ahead of time, "just=

in case"...

If I could sit down with the kid and talk to him, I'd say...

"Adam, we get it, you're Gay...It's not a problem, to each their own, b=
ut
honey...Gay, straight, bi-sexual, etc people have a responsibility to
represent the group they belong to in a way that prevents you from having=

to apologize for your actions like you did the following day, week, and m=
onth...

Don't feed into negative stereotypes when you have the power to educate a=
nd
embrace your stardom and hopefully enjoy it for many years...

I realize shock sells, but let people applaud you for your talent and not=

for being the punchline of a joke."

That's what I would tell him and please, please, please...refrain from =

sending me emails about Adam Lambert going to Hell for being Gay and
quoting Bible verses to try to prove your point...

I have many, many Gay readers who have been with me since I began writing=

columns and I feel it only fair to issue a warning that I truthfully
wish I didn't have to issue, but must...

If there are any insensitive or gay-bashing remarks posted to the blog, I=

will pull them faster than a Tiger Woods text message...

I would just like to remind some of my "older" readers...Years ago ev=
eryone
loved Rock Hudson, (myself included). There were always rumors floating=

around about his sexuality and it wasn't until he was ill and diagnosed=

with AIDS did the truth finally come out that he was Gay. I was heartbrok=
en
for him, not because he was Gay, but because he was dying and to this day=
,
I love watching any and all movies with him in them, including the whimsi=
cal
ones with Doris Day. Can you go from loving someone one day and hating =

them the next that easily...

Never mind, I just realized, given the high divorce rate...you can :-) =


I realize I can't change anyone's minds regarding this issue and I dont p=
lan
on trying. The issue at hand was poor taste and poor judgement, and oh ye=
ah...

The next season of American Idol...

Guess I better get ready for some real "nice" emails huh? Incomingggg=
gggggg...
