thats old news. did you know that layne and sk smith (not real sure who that redhead in the middle is) has brought wonkette back to prominence – they are now #64 on technorati!

nice job kids.

but whats more important is they are fighting to win another popularity contest, this one is the Weblog Awards – aka the Bloggies.

as you might recall, the busblog won a Bloggy way back in the dark ages, but now Wonkette is up for multiple B’s, and since they are friends of ours, i urge you to vote right now, and help Ken and Sara and i think even Fat is contributing over there too, not sure thought. doesnt matter. Vote for Wonkette while you can!

now that i have had time to see the game and the commercials and have it all settle in, this is what i think. i think i need to go on vacation next super bowl weekend. i think i need to go to vegas and take monday off, maybe tuesday too. dont get me wrong, its nice to be in the office and its nice to chat with people about the game and the commercials and the half time show and all that, but super bowl really oughtta be a national holiday where everyone gets monday off to clean up the bbq and recycle the beer cans.

— as good as last night’s game was, ratings-wise it was going to be hard to beat the matchup between the undefeated patriots attempt at perfection against the new york giants. huge markets with dogs in the fight have an advantage over a pittsburgh/phoenix battle, so its good to see that the drop off in viewership was just 6%

— yes the cardinals lost the game, but it looks like michael phelps lost the month.

— that damn groundhog saw its shadow. six more weeks of 80 degree temps in LA i guess.

— jerry brown is running for governor again. lets hope gary coleman runs against him.

— i know if you wanna shed some pounds you should step away from the guacamole dip, but can fasting help you lose weight?

i mean seriously, if you have a nice couch, and a big tv, and delicious foods and beverages, no matter how hot your date is, stay at home.

i may start a blog called altatony which is what the opposite of my life would have been like if i had just trusted my instincts.

today altatony woke up, kicked the girl out of his house on account of it being not just holy but super bowl sunday. but first he cooked bacon and eggs.

then he took a little walk to the mexican bakery and he picked up some breads and orange juice.

then he shut the drapes and watched television all day and all night.

for lunch he made a sandwich. for dinner he ordered chinese.

he kept his phone off, he kept his doors locked.

occasionally he twittered. things like

“best catch since last years catch!”

in real world life tony barely saw much of the first half, only some of half time, and just a little of the incredible end.

now how on earth could this be, you might ask? well, maybe its because for some reason tony has an odd way of attracting young women in his life who cant handle their booze and get violently hammered by halftime.

last time this happened i had to delete a post from the world famous busblog.

this time, at least, i was smart enough to tivo the thing.

now that ive gotten to see it unmolested, i think jennifer hudson lip sank beautifully. i think only bruce can get away with playing darlington county – the single that ushered in the feminized springsteen era, and i think the team of al michaels and john madden should be allowed to do every football game that they like.

i dont remember seeing any of the one second miller lite ads. were they there?

whats yours?

former local la news anchor is apparently doing quite well on cnn as glenn beck’s replacement.

that was from fridays show.

jane has turned the intensity up a few notches, which i guess is the nancy grace secret sauce, but unlike grace she has a heart.

according to huffpo, velez-mitchel is already beating beck’s best numbers

In its third full month on the air, “Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell” posted HLN’s largest 7PM audience since it launched its primetime block in February 2005. For January 2009, “Issues” averaged 531,000 total viewers and 221,000 Adults 25-54, a 50% increase in total viewers and a 46% increase in the demo over Beck’s January 2008 ratings.

Velez-Mitchell’s January ratings also represent an 8% increase in total viewers and a 19% increase in the demo over Beck’s last (and best) month on HLN. Beck’s last full month on the air there was September 2008, when he averaged 492,000 total viewers and 185,000 in the demo. Velez-Mitchell took over the time slot on October 17.

beck is doing better at fox, so thats nice.
