Where have you gone Josh Blue?

Anyone seen disabled comic Josh Blue lately? Or Marlee Matlin? Anyone see anyone with a disability anywhere on television lately? Ok, there is a one legged girl on Survivor, but that's about it. We are here. We are out there. There are millions of us. If you watch TV and don't get out much, you'd think we didn't exist.

What's wrong with us? Do we have cuties? Are we vampires? Oh, I forgot, vampires can actually get on television. They're more popular than thong underwear.

Most Americans know almost nothing about muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, or multiple sclerosis. I would think people would be curious about these conditions, but TV producers sure don't think they are. If you want more reality, nothing is more real than living with the drama and comedy (yes,comedy). That of course brings us back to Josh Blue. To almost quote a song,"Where have you gone Josh Blue, a lonely nation turns it eyes to you, woo woo woo."

Crash the Party!

The Tea Party is ready to celebrate their supposed victory, but its time to crash the Party! All you gotta do is vote for Democrats in November. Do you want to trust the Stock Market with your Social Security money? Do you want to rely on Saudi Arabia, deadly coal mines, leaking nuclear power plants, or BP for your energy needs? Do you want asthmatic or autistic children to go without health insurance? If the Democrats lose the House or Senate, we all lose. All of the above WILL happen or WILL CONTINUE to happen, if we don't act.

Oil Oil Everywhere

Oil is without any doubt destroying our environment. I never thought I would see the day when I could watch the damage develop right on my tv. Pelicans dying before my very eyes. Brown geysers squirting out at the bottom of the sea.

Some people say alternative energy is too expensive to be our main source of power. Billions of dollars will be spent on cleaning up this mess, billions we could spend on wind mills,solar panels and research into long lasting batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. BP will cover SOME of the cost, but they will only pay what we can quantify. What can actually be evaluated in dollars. We can't possibility know the entire cost in lost tax revenue from lost wages,loss of fish and seafood populations,lost tourism dollars,and health-care costs from breathing in bad air. BP will not pay what we "figure" they must owe.

You may think this is a freak accident,but mark my words,These "accidents" or negligent acts will keep happening,as long as off-shore drilling is this lucrative and this risky. It must be banned before it does any more harm.

To All the Girls I've Never Loved Before

I am a lonely single man looking for love. I think its time I found myself a girlfriend. So keep me in mind if you're interested in a severely disabled guy who rarely gets out of bed. I am also (if I do say so myself), funny, honest, talkative, imaginative, unique, and dog gone it, people like me! (ok, maybe I stole that last part from Al Franken). Anyway, here is my list of the top ten celebrity crushes I have right now.

1. Hannah Teter (snowboarder)
2. Amanda Seyfried (actress)
3. Alicia Sacremone (gymnast)
4. Carmen Electra (actress/model)
5. Megan Fox (actress)
6. Kaley Cuoco (actress)
7. Anne Vyalitsyna (model)
8. Mariah Carey (singer)
9. Carie Underwood (singer)
10. Angelina Jolie (actress)

If any of these women would like to go out with me, just ask.

Olympic Fever

The Winter Olympics are here again. The Olympics have always had a soft spot in my heart. Always seems to be incredible stories of people overcoming pain, anguish and tragedy to be an Olympian. It never ceases to amaze me what the human spirit can accomplish when it is allowed to be released. It isn't just a series of sports competitions. It is about courage, strength, integrity, motivation, freedom, peace, and humility. I feel all tingly and warm when watching the world come together like this. Olypians are so blessed to be able to do what they do. I think they are well aware of this. Good luck to you all, and as Morgan Freeman says in those Visa Commercials, Go World!

Mid-season TV Preview

American Idol begins on January 12th and 13th on FOX. Several guest judges will greet the season nine auditioners, until Hollywood Hell Week. Then Ellen Degeneres permanently joins the panel. I think Ellen will add new energy to the slightly stagnating show.

Big Love season four begins January 10th on HBO. Sissy Spacek joins the cast later in the season. I am particularly interested in learning the true fate of Roman Grant. Is the so-called prophet really six feet under, or isn't he?

Lost ends its mystery-laden run, starting in February. Smoke monsters, timelines, and polar bears, oh my!

The Vancouver Winter Olympics, and Survivor: Villains vs. Hereos will also be starting up in February. Should be a good winter for TV addicts.
