The Bachelor: We are Down to Four
If you haven’t been watching The Bachelor lately, you are not missing anything. You see, it is the one show that I can’t miss and has been causing quite the stir at the water cooler at work every Tuesday morning. However, this season’s episode has left a lot to be desired. Now, we are down to four (Corrie was eliminated), and Jake gets to meet the parents…yay! I hope he freaks out after meeting the father of one of these girls, who pins his ass to the wall and threatens him, if he breaks his daughter’s heart.
First and foremost, Jake is a moron…plain and simple. You have a guy who selects the blondes (not that I am complaining, as I am a blonde. Blonde power!), and he selects the psycho bitch, who (surprise!) he thinks is the one. After having an all-out scream fest on Monday at the end of the episode, I realize that the pilot is truly desperate to find a woman, who wants his landing gear. Who needs love…when you can have the landing gear, right?
Let’s take a look at the females who are fighting for Jake. Thus far, the psycho bitch is (drum roll puh-leeze) Vienna. She is Dr. Evil’s daughter, who causes more drama than Brangelina biting the head off of some Cabbage Patch Kid. Everyone in the house hates her, and Monday evening’s episode just gave glimpse into her attention seeking ways. During the group date with Jake, Vienna tried to destroy Gia’s chance of keeping Jake’s attention, and she decided to sneak into Jake’s bed, scantily clothed with two glasses of wine for seduction purposes. Wow! Desperation is at an all-time high, and Jake made a wrong choice by not sending her home. I would have much rather seen Roslyn (the one who slept with someone who worked for the show) stay.
Then, there is Gia. Gia is the swimsuit model, who is a sweet person. If I had to predict the winner, I would say Jake is still picking a blonde, but she will be the first runner-up (and the next Bachelorette). Gia seems to have a lot of chemistry with Jake and judging the makeout sessions…she’s falling for him.
Another one who will be a strong competitor is Tenley. Tenley is the girl next door, who has the most chemistry with Jake. She is also very sweet and compassionate. This girl is the winner (hands down…unless that conniving Vienna has her way).
Ali is the last competitor to focus on. She has had many issues with Vienna and tried several times unsuccessfully to warn Jake of Vienna’s ways. Last week, Ali showed Jake around San Francisco on a solo date. This was her chance to shine and prove to Jake why she could be the one, and for some odd reason, she did not seem to make the moment work. Normally, I would contribute this to nerves, but if you can’t convince the guy that you are wife material, then perhaps it is not meant to be…just sayin’.
Overall, I am not impressed with the final four. Fingers are crossed that Vienna will be sent home without a ring. This show is a big let down this season, and there is no doubt that this will be another Bachelor without Mrs. Right.
The Bachelor: Past Two Weeks in Review
The only thing I watch on TV is reality based programs. Why? I am a sucker for competition, as it is the one human emotion that brings out one’s true personality. That aside, I have been watching a lot of The Bachelor lately. It is a show that really displays female competitiveness to the extreme. This season has got to be one of the most crazy and insane episodes of The Bachelor that I have ever witnessed, as they are fighting over a man they barely know for the chance to marry him. Seriously, whatever happened to taking your time and meeting that special someone?
Case in point, look at the actual Bachelor himself: Jake, who is extremely good looking. Jake seems like a nice guy, but I am not certain if he is the man that I could imagine introducing to my parents. Imagine my father talking football with this pretty boy, and he would probably oust him to the corner (my guess is that he’s a Cowboys fan…this would not set well with my Redskins rabid father). The first episode really confirmed my suspicions we were really looking at a guy, who probably could not impress my athletic family. For the full disclosure, you are about to witness a guy, who really should not say that he even played football. Also, I think it is quite impossible to play football in evening gowns (though I have to admit it would be fun).

This is just one example of craziness that keeps me coming back to watch week after week. I could personally throw a football better than that guy, as I grew up around male cousins. This taught me the value of fighting for what you want.
The girls are another level of insanity. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. The competitiveness is at an all time high. The first episode saw some of the crazy ones eliminated, including a girl who made a joke about the landing strip. Just recently, we saw the elimination of Roslyn, the first female contestant who was eliminated for messing around with a staffer from the show.
It brings me to make a real good point about reality TV though. If you are crazy enough for putting yourself out there like these girls (and yes, even the Bachelor himself), then prepare for some of the jokes. All in all, I will keep you updated with some of the humorous events from the show. In the meantime, I wonder if they realize that they are making fools of themselves without the opportunity to become the Bachelorette (which is another reality TV show that I am hopelessly addicted to).
Michaele Salahi
The Salahis caused quite a stir by crashing the White House reception for the Prime Minister of India. The AP reports:
The Virginia couple who crashed a presidential dinner met President Barack Obama in the receiving line, the White House said Friday, as a “deeply concerned and embarrassed” Secret Service acknowledged its officers failed to check whether the couple was on the guest list.A White House official did not make clear whether Michaele and Tareq Salahi shook hands with the president or spoke with him. Guests going through a receiving line usually shake hands with the president.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of an ongoing Secret Service inquiry that could turn into a criminal investigation.
What’s the big deal? Isn’t this just the second time, since January, that someone got into the White House by lying?
You could imagine Michaele asking Rahm, “Can you get Ezekiel to sign my copy of the healthcare bill. You know…like the part with the death panels?”
For those interested, you can become a fan of the Salahis from their Facebook fan page. Despite the overt shallowness, Michaele deserves a lot of praise. Michaele easily demonstrates why your typical DC area working woman resents pretty socialites. For guys the answer is obvious. Which arm candy would you prefer, this:
or that?
Sesame Street Turns 40
Today is Sesame Street’s 40th Birthday! While it may seem out of character for me to commemorate one of my favorite childhood shows, I just feel like pop culture would not be complete without the gang from Sesame Street. After all, how do you think that most of Generations X and Y learned about their ABCs and 123s outside of school and their parents?
By the way, Ernie and Big Bird were my favorites growing up.

Michael Moore's New Film Tanks at the Box Office
Director Michael Moore’s new movie, Capitalism: A Love Story, has tanked at the movie theaters. While this is no surprise, this movie could be his worst movie since 2002′s Bowling for Columbine. This movie has only pulled in $5.2 million, and according to Deadline.com, it is only predicted to fall below $20 million.
I love seeing stupidity fail at the box office.

Hey, at least we have free parking, Coastal Flats, George Mason University, and Steelers fans. Yeah Fairfax!
Airhead of the Month: Janeane Garofalo
Hands down! Hands down! Janeane Garofalo, dimwit extraordinare has just won the Crystal Clear Conservative Airhead of the Month award for her recent appearance on Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. Garofalo calls tea bag activists, “rednecks and racists.” Sometimes, I wonder if Janeane Garofalo and Keith Olbermann’s brains are missing a few synapses after this segment.
I have to laugh when liberals have ignorance, apathy, and hate (yet, they accuse conservatives of having these three traits).
Keith Olbermann: ESPN is looking for you
Hey Keith, why don’t you stop being a mindless hack and go back to ESPN where you rightfully belong? Today, my good friend, Americans for Prosperity’s Erik Telford has earned the badge of honor for being #2 World’s Worst Person, according to the dimwit himself. Now, why would Telford receive this award? Perhaps, he was asking bloggers and those attending tea parties to cover the event and submit a video for an award. Pretty harmless, huh?
Congratulations Erik and keep up the fight. As for Olbermann, I hear the guys at ESPN’s Sports Center really miss you. It’s er…gloomy without your ummm…sunny disposition.
