Another Reason Why I Think John Travolta is Gay

I was at www.wikipedia.com looking at John Travolta's bio and found this under the heading of "Other":

"He celebrated with the Australian national football team in their dressing room following their qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup."

James Brown, Godfather of Soul Dies at 73

Early Christmas morning James Brown passed away from heart failure. I was saddened to hear his passing. After thinking about it for awhile I thought what a great way to leave this earth on Christmas Day. It's so like James Brown. I remember seeing his routine on television. During live performances at the end of a song he would literally be on the stage hunched over on his knees apparently overwhelmed by the music. A member of his band would come and put a blanket on him and it would look like he was consoling him. They would walk him off stage as he would be patting James on the back & then out of nowhere he would come bounding back to the stage to the screams of his audience to belt out the rest of the song. That was his trademark.

I actually remember seeing Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees do his routine on an episode of their show. Mickey was truly doing a tribute to James Brown with Mike Nesmith as the one who put the blanket on him. I read later on that alot of white children who had never heard of James Brown had no idea to that reference.

In the years that passed there were other cultural references to Brown's persona. SNL's Eddie Murphy's rendition of James Brown's Hot Tub. I still remember Eddie Murphy as James Brown getting ready to get into the hot tub, "Here I go! Hot Tub! OW! Hot Tub! Gettin' Ready to go in the Hot Tub!! Ow!"

Mr. Brown also had his troubles. Like getting arrested on PCP and his numerous divorces. His prison time. But he fullfilled his purpose in life. To entertain.

MR. SPONGE-A-LINI'S PERSON OF THE YEAR 2006 IS.......

Jennifer Shiman & her 30 second bunnies.

After thinking who I wanted to make my very own person of the year it came down to the only logical choice.

This year was filled with lots of winning Democrats, corruptive Republicans, silly celeberties, a horrible self-willed war, I needed to choose someone who did exactly what they are supposed to do; entertain.

I must have clicked on "Clarence & Woodgie" more than 100 times so far. Had a bad day go click on the Bunnies' version of "The Exorcist". Check out those bunny ears on those sheep in "Brokeback Mountain" ("I'm not queer!") And don't forget to view " this bun's for you", Kait's favorite link. She can do the dance. And speaking of the dance,("I'm gonna do the dance-do-dad00") I really think Jennifer should add "Flashdance" to her many requests. The bunnies would look cute in leg warmers and a welding mask.

Y!

Yes, the newly elected Democratic Senator Jim Webb is someone that Bush must contend with. 

Don't Push Senator Jim Webb!

Taken from Americablog.com:

At a recent White House reception for freshman members of Congress, Virginia's newest senator tried to avoid President Bush. Democrat James Webb declined to stand in a presidential receiving line or to have his picture taken with the man he had often criticized on the stump this fall. But it wasn't long before Bush found him.

"How's your boy?" Bush asked, referring to Webb's son, a Marine serving in Iraq.

"I'd like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President," Webb responded, echoing a campaign theme.

"That's not what I asked you," Bush said. "How's your boy?"

"That's between me and my boy, Mr. President," Webb said coldly, ending the conversation on the State Floor of the East Wing of the White House....

...If the exchange with Bush two weeks ago is any indication, Webb won't be a wallflower, especially when it comes to the war in Iraq. And he won't stick to a script drafted by top Democrats.

"I'm not particularly interested in having a picture of me and George W. Bush on my wall," Webb said in an interview yesterday in which he confirmed the exchange between him and Bush. "No offense to the institution of the presidency, and I'm certainly looking forward to working with him and his administration. [But] leaders do some symbolic things to try to convey who they are and what the message is."

AND ANOTHER THANKSGIVING THREAD....

So Kait came over and yet again she made a fantastic turkey. Mmmmmm...good. The night before I went to the movies with my friends and saw "HAPPY FEET" what a great feel good flick. Marchelle went and saw it another 3 times so far! I didn't think it would make me cry, darn those cute fuzzy penguins. The next day I told Kait all about it in my kitchen just as she walkded thru the door. I started to get teary eyed like Rita Wilson did in "Sleepless in Seatle" when she was describing "An Affair to Remember" to Tom Hanks' character and the other actor in the scene. My sweet Kait has soooo much patience-I just rambled on and on about this cute movie and how the other penguins ostrisized Mumble because he couldn't sing, only dance, and he was befriended by these short little penguins who spoke in a mexican accent, and ended up saving his people just when it looked bleak for him.

Anyhoo, it rained this weekend. They put the christmas decorations up downtown. It sort of feels like the holidays. I'm sort of into it. I'll end up putting my tree up later this week.

Yeah, He did it.

Fox has canceled the much talked about special of O.J. Simpson's book, "If I Did It" where he tells the story of the murders of his wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman from his point of view. Billed as his "confession" which is far from it, the pressure has been on Fox and the publisher to withdraw from this horrible project since word came down that the tv special would air at the end of November sweeps month. The publisher has canceled the book as well.

Last night I saw Fred Goldman on LARRY KING LIVE and he looked like he was going to explode with rage from sitting in his chair. Calling Simpson an S.O.B., garbage, and probably more things that weren't put on the air, he called for a boycott on Fox because they would be enabling a murderer. Well it looks like the pressure worked and I hope he stopped clenching his jaw because they just anounced that the special and the book have been cancelled. Now we'll just wait until O.J. catches the killers.

This CD I bought on a hunch. You can't go wrong with House music, that is if you like it. It's so hard to pick out music from just the cover or by looking at the list of artists on the back. This one was a winner. This is the kind of CD you can just play in the background while doing tasks at home or when you are driving in your car. Although this is volume 3, I have yet to hear the previous releases. One of the artists, Miguel Migs is a well known DJ who lives in the South Bay. I have one of his CD's, "Nude Tempo One", nice easy house music, not loud or too techno. This one is just really good consistent beats. Reminds me of being in a gay bar before the big crowd arives. 

Marlee Matlin, Jennifer Beals & Cybil Sheppard in a publicity photo for Season 4 of the L WORD. The L WORD premieres Jan. 7 2007. They don't look very "lesbian-ish" to me. Maybe Marlee would pass. Hmmm...we'll see. 

Happy Belated Birthday Diana Krall.  

Oh yeah.
