You go Cee Lo

The Twins Francisco Liriano threw baseball’s first no-hitter of the year against the White Sox last night in a 1-0 win for the team with the AL’s worst record.
Liriano walked 6 men and only struck out two in the contest. This game was his first ever complete game too, suggesting that someone nearly needs to throw a no-hitter or perfect game in order to complete the task that started that particular game.
Liriano’s no-hitter was the first for the Twins since 1999 when Eric Milton did it against the White Sox.

Andre Ethier’s hitting streak reached 29 games last night and now its getting interesting as it’s over half way to one of baseball’s legendary record. His streak is the second longest in Dodger’s history tied for second with Zack Wheat behind Willie Davis’ mark of 31 set in 1969. Earlier this week he surpassed Duke Snider and Ducky Medwick who both had 27 game streaks while playing with the Dodgers. Ethier did not know who Zack Wheat was…merely a Hall of Famer.

I watched the second episode of The Voice last night. I still can’t get past Christina Aguilera’s awful hair-do.
I had never heard of Cee Lo Green until this recent “hit” of his, which I only actually heard for the first time when one of the auditionees sang it. It’s not really called, “Forget You” right? If I recall, it’s F You. No matter, that was the only reason I had heard of him.
I find that I like this guy though. He hasn’t pigeon holed himself by taking on singers to coach on his team that perform his style of music only. The last person he took was a country singer who the country singer on the panel, Blake Shelton, didn’t even take.
Shelton, who I also find to be likeable, didn’t take two particular country singers that Cee Lo and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine ended up taking. Ironically both of those particular contestants sang songs that Shelton and his fiancĂ© Miranda Lambert made famous.

But it’s the hair that is still very distracting.

And Carson Daly. How the hell did he get another high profile hosting gig?

So, we believe that Bin Laden is dead now, right? Watch this administration screw this up big time. The longer that proof is held from the public the greater the speculation is that Bin Laden is not dead or that any evidence later produced (video, pictures or whatever) is fabricated.
Seriously, these advisors in the WH are blowing this for Obama (which is just fine for me, as you know.)
I would have had Obama walk out to the podium late Sunday night to make his announcement that Bin Laden is dead and then hold up the picture of his corpse right on TV in front of billions.
Of course that would have been shocking, but it would have been rather convincing right on the spot.
Can you think of a better way to do it? What, put the picture on a website somewhere? Have Jay Carney come out the next day and hold it up for the press? THAT IS NOT WORKING.
If Obama gets the credit for it, then take the damned credit for it. Hold up the picture, say “Osama Bin Laden is dead. Our Navy Seals did this with my blessing and on my command. Don’t F with the United States of America,” Then turn around, walk back into the WH and go to sleep. Ok, replace F with mess, I don’t really care.
I would have even jumped out of my seat and ran out into the streets screaming USA, USA! Obama is the man!
Think about THAT statement and what it would do for his poll numbers…which, by the way raised 11 points in the NY Times/CBS polls (LOL) although his numbers haven’t changed in the Rasmussen polls.
But instead, we have a bunch of politically correct fools making a mess out of the public relations part of this victory.

The WH Spokesman, Carney, was just quoted as saying the release of the photo would be inflammatory.
You have got to be $^$&** kidding me now, right? Bin Laden supporters are inflamed and are threatening Obama’s life because he killed Bin Laden. You’re worried about a showing a picture proving it now? Are you afraid they will double threaten to kill him? I don't get it.

Speaking of public relations snafus, apparently the Bin Laden operation was called “Geronimo” so now “Native Americans” are pissed off equating an evil terrorist with a Native hero.

Whatever public relations firm this administration is using, I will do the job for half the money and just using common sense will give Obama 12 extra poll points.

Done.
