Yes, Susan, people don't play fair. Ms. Sarandon, however, doesn't seem to have any problems with allowing her three children - ages 8 to 15 - to watch "Friends," long criticized for the oft-explicit sexual content during TV's family hour. On last week's episode, Ms. Sarandon guest stars, sleeping with Matt LeBlanc's character, Joey, on a whim when he calls her "hot."
Jeff is not all that common of a name, so any time I hear it or read it I perk up. Imagine my disappointment, then, everytime I hear such a fine name besmirched due to my namesake's apparent personality problems on the new "Survivor":
"If there is an accident, it probably deals with that whiny, crybaby homo Jeff. On the helicopter ride to the hospital, i bet you he throws up too." - David
"We are assuming one thing about Mike's burns...Maybe he patted Jeff on the back, tragically not realizing how much of a total flamer Jeff is." - DSUTrojan
"Apparently in the wee hours of the morning, Australia is blue. We hear the unmistakable sounds of Jeff Jr., the other Jeff, the Probstian Mini-Me if you will, whining about Michael making rice without asking anyone first. Everyone rouses groggily and insists that they are not hungry. Mini-me whines on... "I couldn't understand what he was doing." Well let's see, fire, water, rice... unless he's planning on sculpting a giant rice-statue of the Great Michael to provide inspiration for the tribe, he's probably cooking breakfast for you ungrateful bastards...Hey, Jeff, you out there? Y'know that harsh stuff I just said 'bout Mike? Well, I like Mike a hell of a lot better'n I like you, monkeyboy." - survivorsucks.com summary
"As a college student, Jeff was even very involved with the UNC cheerleading team... Give me a J! Give me an E! Give me an F! Give me another F! Give me an I! Give me an E! What's it spell?! Jeffie!" -- www.survivorfire.com cast summaries (Okay, it's not bad, I just like people to cheer me on).
With all the pre-season talk of hard hits and half-naked cheerleaders, who'da thunk that it would be the wimpy kickers that are saving the XFL's bacon?
Are you ready, sports fans, for the best month-and-a-half of the year? I know I'm excited, as baseball begins Spring Training this week and college basketball conference tournaments begin a week later. Then comes the NCAA Tournament for the entirety of March, culminating with the championship on the night of Major League Baseball's opening day. Then later that week is my favorite sporting even of them all, The Masters.
"The Cutest Little Communist in Congress," Georgia Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, is ticked that she wasn't invited to accompany President Bush on a visit to a Georgia military base earlier this month.
Wait a second, Cynthia, I thought you said you wanted nothing to do with our illegitimate president? I don't think the President owes anything to Cynthia, and should ignore her whining, which was merely for publicity anyway.
Speaking of the Commie Congresswoman, it seems she was a bit too eager to over-enfranchise voters at precincts in November. Poll workers say that Cynthia, armed with a bullhorn, rallied voters outside one polling place to vote even if they were not registered. Distraught poll workers struggled to turn people away and when the 7 p.m. voting deadline came they called police after people refused to leave and banged on locked precinct doors.
Americans questioned over the weekend by Gallup chose Ronald Reagan (18 percent) as the greatest U.S. president, while John F. Kennedy (16 percent) and Abraham Lincoln (14 percent) finished second and third.
You know, of course, that Clinton is movin' on up to a dee-luxe office in the sky.
There was an interesting comment from a Harlem resident this week. Some lady named Francois Jean said "I hope he comes. But I hope he doesn't bring the rest of rich white America with him."
Now, let someone say "I hope he comes. But I hope he doesn't bring the rest of poor black America with him." See how long it takes before the media starts a holy race war over a comment like that.
To rid areas of coca plants in Colombia, forces are spreading Roundup from crop-dusters. There's an ad you won't see on TV anytime soon: "Have a problem with cocaine in your garden? Use Roundup. Kills coca plants dead."
Presidents come and Presidents go (at least until Bill Clinton), but Helen Thomas never goes away and is always a liberal exponent in the guise of a reporter. Check out this impassioned liberal advocacy from her at Thursday's presidential press conference:
Thomas: "Why do you refuse to respect the wall between the church and state? And you know that the mixing of religion and government for centuries has to led slaughter. I mean the very fact that our country has stood in good stead by having this separation. Why do you break it down?"
Thomas, who was with UPI until last year, now works for Hearst Newspapers. (Media Research Center)
An internal inspection by Vietnam's Communist Party found that more than 40 percent of party members were guilty of corruption. Party leaders have admitted that a campaign against corruption has failed.
Ya think?
Finally, someone in the media reads my thoughts (which is pretty eerie, actually)! Brit Hume made a point on his Fox News program that after his colleagues savaged Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris' looks during the election controversy, not one media figure has made fun of big time Democratic donor Denise Rich. This socialite is grotesque to look at with her rearranged face and makeup put on by paint rollers.
Atlanta's Hawks are bad. Very bad. About the only good statistic I can come up with is that they're 18-0 when they outscore opponents.

It didn't take long for the Left to turn their heads in disgust at the Darwinism of "Survivor." Actress and political activist Susan Sarandon says the CBS hit is fundamentally evil: "I mean, this is a show that basically rewards you for surviving at all costs without any kind of moral bottom line, without any lessons about loyalty or honesty."
President Bush: "Helen, I strongly respect the separation of church and state."
Thomas: "You wouldn't have a religious office in the White House if you did."
