We know it’s Halloween but that guy in the middle is NOT the Cryptkeeper from “Tales of the Crypt.” When CNN Talker Larry King stopped by the University of Tampa, he visited the offices of Provost Janet McNew, on the left , and Donald Morrill, Dean of the College of Arts and Letters.
This photo was taken by UT student Anna Burrell.
Is Sarah Palin ready for prime-time? Probably not. She does best when she has script writers or the interviewer is friendly. She’s not ready for press conferences yet. She’s still under control of her handlers so her appearance on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend was about as good as expected.
“SNL” doesn’t intentionally want to embarrass its celebrity guests so the skits were harmless and good natured. Palin, who still hasn’t made it to the “Today” show, didn’t wash out. Her appearance helped give “SNL” its best ratings in 14 years.
She probably scored a few points with some people who probably wouldn’t have voted for her anyway but now think that at least she has a sense of humor.
Those who don’t like her won’t be swayed. Those who feel that she lacks gravitas probably still feel that way.
The opening bit was cute with Alex Baldwin thinking that the “Caribou Barbie” is a hottie.
Palin didn’t say or do anything stupid. She participated in a mock rap song with Amy Poehler and cast members dressed as Eskimos, a moose and First Dude Todd Palin.
It was funny but it also reinforced all the goofy things about her background.
After living in the “BIG BROTHER” house for 71 days, Dan Gheesling survived to win $500,000 based on the votes of his former house mates.
His best bud Robert “Memphis” Garrett, a bartender from Los Angeles, will receive $50,000 as the second place winner.
Gheesling, a 25-year-old Catholic school teacher from Dearborn, Mich., faced a jury consisting of the last seven evicted House guests (listed in order of eviction): Libra, April, Michelle, Ollie, Renny, Keesha and Jerry. Brian, Steven, Angie and Jessie and were also present, but were not part of the jury.
After winning he told host Julie Chen” “It’s very hard to fathom at this point—$500,000 is a lot of money, but being a big fan of the show, winning this is like a dream come true, and I couldn’t have done it without the renegade brother Memphis.”
He said he might use the money to buy his girlfriend a ring.
“The reason I came on Big Brother, I love my job at St. Mary’s—hopefully I still have it. And being a teacher, hopefully this will allow me to stay there for the rest of my career, “ he said.
It’s rare to get a chance to see what two foreign policy experts think about the current world situation? Such is what is offered in America and the World: Conversations on the Future of American Foreign Policy. The book contains conversations between Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft, two former national security advisors. In the dialogues, moderated by David Ignatius, the two — the former a Democat, the latter a Republican — discuss America’s place in a changed world. They both emphasize viewing China, Korea and other “emerging economies” as partners, not rivals.
Also in nonfiction, UK Guardian columnist Benjamin Mee offers We Bought A Zoo, in which he details how he and his family fulfilled his dream of operating a zoo. Mee, his wife, his son (6 years old) and daughter (4 years), his brother and 76-year-old mother ended up operating the Dartmoor Wildlife Park. But the story also is about his wife, Katherine, who got brain tumor while the family was running the zoo. Expect an inspirational story from this book, which has already received a great deal of buzz.
