For the good of the country.
I thought about this last night when I was watching the NFL on NBC. During the game there was an advert for the Monday night games on ESPN, an ABC property. ABC and NBC have been long time competitors but, for the good of the NFL, they cross promote during their games.
Wouldn't it be nice if Michael and Stephen and Jack could be friends? For the good of the country.

846...Apparently He Looked Great Dead
Michael Jackson.
That is what his tweaked sister La Toya said in an interview with ABC's 20/20.
Ironically he didn't look so good when he was alive.

780...Youth Movement At ABC News
66 year old Charles Gibson, anchor of the ABC evening news since '06 is swept out in a move to catch a younger demographic.
To grab the kids Mr. Gibson is being replaced by the winner of the America Junior Miss pageant.
That is the good news.
The bad news is that his replacement, Diane Sawyer, won the pageant in 1963.
Yeah, that'll work.

679...O. J. Simpson, Kathy Gifford, Frank Gifford
Belated happy birthday wishes to Kathy Lee Gifford and her husband, former USC football star, New York Giants football star and long time ABC sports announcer, primarily on NFL Monday Night Football.
Yesterday was the big day at the Gifford household. Both sides of the bed had a birthday. 56 for her and 79 for him.
Their birthday reminded me of a joke that was making the rounds during O. J. Simpson's trial for allegedly killing his wife, a charge that most of you are aware of, he was acquitted of by a jury of his peers.
The joke was: "If an NFL Hall of Fame running back had to mercilessly stab his wife to death, why couldn't it have been Frank Gifford?"
During the same time as Mr. Simpson was dominating the news Mrs. Gifford was all over the TV, primarily as the co host of the morning talkshow Regis and Kathy Lee with Regis Philbin. Hence the joke.

307...Governor Palin Accepts Letterman Apology
Just in from http://www.abcnews.com/, Governor Sarah Palin has accepted former funnyman and CBS talkshow host David Letterman's second apology about a lame joke he made re her daughter and Alex Rodriquez. For more details on the joke and her initial response, check out Post 263 on this blog.
"Of course it's [Mr. Letterman's apology] accepted on behalf of young women, like my daughters, who hope men who 'joke' about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve," the statement read.
"Letterman certainly has the right to 'joke' about whatever he wants to, and thankfully we have the right to express our reaction. And this is all thanks to our U.S. military women and men putting their lives on the line for us to secure America's right to free speech - in this case, may that right be used to promote equality and respect."
Whew, another crisis resolved.

271...Kobe To The Rescue
Damn.
They, they being the Orlando Magic, were up by 11 at the half and by 3 with 10 seconds to play but but but Mr. Kobe, oh my God, 32 big points to power his Lakers to a big big big win over Dwight Howard's squad in Central Florida.
Now a series that looked even at half time last night looks done this morning.

236...Tony Awards, Last Night
On CBS. Or may be NBC. Perhaps FOX. Definitely not on ABC coz that is where Kobe was.
You missed it too? Thought so.
When you break it down, the Tony Awards are a throw back to the olden days of TV, like really olden, 1940's, 1950's, when TV, American TV, was a reflection of New York City[and later, Los Angeles] popular culture to those in the hinterlands.
Canadian TV is still in that stage, reflecting, on English TV, Toronto or a Toronto centric view of the Canada, to those in the hinterlands; for French TV substitute Montreal for Toronto.
Breaking out of that construct is key.
