Rush Limbaugh really is an idiot! (or maybe just lazy)
On his radio show this morning he was regurgitating his 'I met Bill Clinton' story & how he met Los Angeles' mayor 'Villagarossa'. That's what he called him every time he said his name!
(FYI - his name is Antonio Villaraigosa)
Head Ditto did say it was difficult to hear & he didn't catch the mayor's name at first but if that were the case & this were you & you were going to speak about it the next morning on your nationally syndicated radio show, wouldn't you find out for sure what the guy's name was instead of mispronouncing it every time you said it!
I notice his staff got it right in the transcript on his website. This is also in the transcript...
'I don't believe in coincidences with the Clintons. I just don't. Of all places he chooses to go to dinner, the Kobe Club the same night I'm there?'
Of course it would make complete sense to this egotist that Bill Clinton would choose to go to this restaurant just because he was there.
I am not a fan of any of these men (however I do believe Bill Clinton has the higher moral ground by far out of the 3 of them) but to not know the name of the LA mayor when you're paid as a political commentator? Well that's just the work of a lazy man....or the work of an idiot.

Thanx Diggers
They shall grow not old as we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest We Forget.

Happy Birthday Elton
Did Eric McCormack have the best time at Elton John's 60th Birthday Show at MSG or what? ...mmmaybe Matt Lauer, it's a toss up.
Unlike Ozzy Osbourne who was sat in front of a singing-a-lot Rosie O'Donnell - yikes!
Bon Jovi didn't seem to be having any fun at all & the female next to Kid Rock was way too busy with lip gloss for way too much of the concert.
Who was the grumpy old bastard who sat with his arms crossed at the end of Philadelphia Freedom?!
GIT!
Let someone who enjoys have your ticket next time!
Sadly, it was Robin Williams & not Robbie Williams who appeared. I thought for a minute there when they started singing Happy Birthday, a cake would be rolled out & Robbie would jump out of it. After all, he did say he would dance naked for Elton's birthday present - tease!
How great to hear Roy Rogers again. I love that song & haven't heard it for years.
Don't Let The Sun is one of the most beautiful songs ever.
Is Clay Aiken playing tambourine? hahahaaaa
I love seeing people with cameras & phones in the crowd.
3 1/2 hrs & still people left not hearing their favourite!
Well done Elton!
You are a living legend!

Mix Your Own Robbie Williams
Or somebody else if you want to, but why you would want to when you have Mr Williams at your fingertips is well, baffling to say the least!
I love Your Spins
You can spend hours mixing....& remixing, hours I tell you!

A Little Hand Clap For You Robbie
Stranger things have been known to happen in my life than you stumbling across this blog so with that in mind I just thought I'd write a couple of words of support.
I can't say I know what you're going thru although I can imagine the most difficult part was actually deciding to do it.
Well done with that!
I believe you are much stronger than you believe you are - yes I think you're strong & you're wrong! I bet a lot of people do that to you don't they? Quote your lyrics back to you. Lame, huh! Sorry.
You really only have yourself to blame for that tho - magical wordsmith you!
Your music means so much to so many people. In fact, it has helped countless people in the same position you find yourself in now. You're just unlucky that you don't have a Robbie Williams in your life to help you thru tough times, & make your heart soar when times are awesome.
You gotta love life, if only for the ironies.
Maybe you do have your own Robbie....hmmmm....who would that be?
Lou Reed? James Taylor? The Beastie Boys? Dr. Hook? A continuous loop of Agadoo? hehe
Anyway, look after yourself, take your time & when you're ready, there will be many happy people still here, delighted to welcome you back.
Hopefully by then, that thought won't freak you out too much.

Vegemite Update
The crisis has been temporarily averted in our house as we imported a few jars (Shhhhh!!!) but the fight apparently continues.
My local Cost Plus store has told me they received a letter from the FDA demanding all Vegemite be removed from their shelves & (*WARNING* if you're an Auzzie in the USA you may not want to read this next bit) destroy it!
OMG!!!
They were told it had ingredients which were not approved by the FDA.
So, seems we're back to square one...again.
The FDA says it didn't ban Vegemite but their letter says otherwise.
What can we do now?
Any ideas world?

Bush Prefers Masters' Voice to Iraq Study Group by David Wheelock.
Don't know who they are?
After you read the article, you will wonder how you don't know about them.

Can you fill in the blank?
You tell me the adjective to put in there.

Loving The 21st Century! ~ Part Three
So this time I'm rocking out to Millenium, Back For Good & Rudebox by phone all over my house while at the very same time, my wonderful friends are doing the very same thing at the Milton Keynes Bowl in the UK.
They have actually renamed it Milton Keynes Plate now as they bounced so hard they flattened it! BWAAAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
My friends are not only kind & thoughtful, they're damn funny too!
This is where they were....
But this is where they were....
Note: This is not their actual vid...but they were this close...& we were all singing this song.

Steve Irwin - You Little Beauty!
Thanx Steve for teaching my little Auzzie all about Auzzie wildlife & keeping him safe.
He's growing up on the other side of the big pond & by the time of his 1st visit back home at 15 months of age, he knew not to touch the redback he found in Pop's shed.
He knew the blue tongue in the drain would not chase him & he knew his Grandparents place in the bush was not a scary place but a wonderful place full unusual & fascinating creatures.
A giant learning curve for a little boy from the 'burbs.
All thanx to The Crocodile Hunter.
Steve's autographed pictue has been on his wall for 8 years now. I can't see it coming down any time soon.
Condolences to Terri, Bindi & Bob, as well as his dad, sisters & the family of staff & friends at Australia Zoo - we all feel your loss on this sad, sad day.
If you would like to contribute to the continuation of Steve's work, please check out Wildlife Warriors.

Vegemite Crisis!!!
Auzzies in the US have been happily buying Vegemite from Cost Plus, Mother's, O'Henry's etc for years....until now!
I have just spent my morning tracking down why it has mysteriously disappeared off shelves everywhere.
After a long & exhaustive investigation (not willing to do it often but for Vegemite...no question!) I have the answer...
The FDA will not allow importation of foods with added folic acid.
Why the FDA have such a problem with folic acid is another head scratcher for another day.
Do they want more birth defects? I don't get it!
I think they need more anemic, pregnant women involved in their decision making process.
Anyway, Kraft apparently do not think it worth their while to import the 'old' recipe of Vegemite (early '90s) with the 'acceptable' amount of folic acid in it.
Their international legal dept. have taken over the issue now, I guess to fight for the 'new' folic acid added recipe to be allowed.
Conclusion, it's going nowhere fast!
Meanwhile, Auzzies all over the US are losing their accents, surfing badly, getting drunker quicker & having the lifeblood slowly drained out of them - It's TRAGIC!
OK dear reader, I know you know an Auzzie. They've been nice to you, right?
Made fun times funner, spun a few yarns, taught you some new words, played a joke or two on you or your mates, shared with you some insignificant pieces of world knowledge;
the area of Australia covered by snow in winter is larger than the area of Switzerland, or
the 'black box' flight recorder was invented in Australia....
stuff like that.
Now is your chance to show your appreciation!
Please call Kraft 1-800-323-0768 & tell them that they in fact have NOT sold the product to International Glace but are in the process of legal wrangling with the FDA over folic acid content.
Please tell them that you would consider it a personal favour if they just started re-importing the 'old' recipe of Vegemite (no folic acid added) & everyone will be happy again...
Kraft won't have to battle the FDA, Internationl Glace could start distributing again (which is their connection to this), store employees won't have to sound clueless when they tell enquiring customers that the 'company doesn't manufacture the product anymore' & Auzzies all over the States will regain their former joyful disposition & happy demeanor which, let's face it friends, the US could use as much of as it can get!
In the end, we're all just Happy Little Vegemites aren't we?

Loving The 21st Century! ~ Part Deux
So I just finished listening to ..."Ohhhh Lord, make me pure, but not yeeeeeeet..."
The concert sounded even louder that yesterday if that's possible!
If you have never seen Robbie Williams live, I recommend getting a ticket...quickly!
The greatest show on earth!
If you can't get a ticket, then finding a friend who does & who will take the time to call you from the spectacular is the next coolest thing!
RW, technology & friends RAWK!!!

Loving The 21st Century!
I just received a call from RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne where Robbie Williams was singing ..."Monsooooon, come soooo-oon"... with about 75,000 fans.
It was SO LOUD but I could hear Mr Williams very well - they must be in the front row! ;) haha
Thanx to my friends xxx
Biggie hugs mates!
& every person who had a hand in the development of the technology that got us to the point of me being on the other side of the planet & yet still being able to hear Rob in real time!
Gotta love it!
Monsoon ~ Amsterdam June 25 '06.
Recorded by me on my digicam. More technology to love!

i -am very annoyed- tunes
I was given a shiny black Nano for my happy birthday.
Sounds good yeah?
I guess, one day, I'll probably agree but right now, not really thinking along those lines.
Now, I'll admit, mine is not the tidiest puter when it comes to music. I upload from cds, I download from sites. The songs go into 'My Music'...mostly.
Some I find in the Media Player library, some in the Winamp library...but they're all there, around, somewhere. I can usually find them when I want them.
So, I thought when I jumped thru all the hoops for installing i-tunes, I could just drag & drop from wherever to the i-tunes library & ba-da-bing, there is my new listening toy.
WRONG!
The i-tunes library popped up...with a bunch of my stuff already on it!
This would not have been such a mystery if the content had come from one place, but it didn't! Some uploaded cds (but not all), some downloaded tunes (but not all), some from 'My Music' (you get the idea).
Some are video which I can't play anyway!
Annoying I think....I have to delete before I have even added anything!
No delete...hmmmm. OK, 'Clear' I think is the way to go. I clear one file & double check it's where it came from....ARGH!...NO!!
It's no longer there!
I've lost my precious "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" vid.
Luckily I can upload it again but HOW FRIGGIN' ANNOYING IS THAT?!
I know if I read up, I will figure out what I need to do (& probably what I did wrong) but I really would just liked to have seen a blank i-tunes library to start with, to fill with my desired music & not random stuff I own.
Not being a big fan of sifting thru stuff to organise it is the reason why my puter's music collection is not the tidiest in the first place!
Oh, & while I'm on this rant. What is the deal with the 'look at the Nano & watch it smudge' thing?! Why is this surface like a 'hot zone'? Couldn't it be made with a surface that you can touch without it looking like it needs decontamination?
It's shiny & pretty, for about a Nano-second & then it looks like crap!
Oh! I get it!
