A "Crack" In The Nation's Defense?

Yesterday, NBC’s “Today” show cut away from the moment of silence at Ground Zero for an interview with Kris Jenner, mother of the Kardashian sisters.

- The rememberance of a National Tragedy is one thing… Butt… finding out what’s up with Kim and her siblings is WAY more important to our National Interest!

- Kris Jenner said it was all part of the Kardashian’s policy to “turn the other (really big) cheek”.

9/11... 11 Years Later

Hard to believe, but eleven years have come and gone since a beautiful September morning turned to one of unspeakable tragedy. 

We all know where we were when we heard the news - and then watched as our lives were - in a matter of minutes - changed forever. 

So many lives lost, so many left behind to grieve, so much bravery. 

But even as the flames continued to burn in Manhattan, Washington DC and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania - an amazing thing happened. Americans proved to ourselves - and the world - who we were as a people: Strong. Resilient. United. 

Like our flag, the fabric of our nation might be torn at times, or frayed with age - but it remains, always, Red White & Blue. 

At the end of that seemingly endless day eleven years ago, President Bush addressed the nation. We took his speech and set it to the theme from the movie “Glory”. As you take time to remember and honor this day, take a few minutes to listen to the words that helped a nation begin the process of healing. 

God Bless you and God Bless America.

Biden: Be Careful What You Wish For???

Joe Biden dared the media to have “fact-checkers” check the facts in his speech at the DNC. They did, and said a number of things he said weren’t true. 

- Instead of “Truth or Dare”, he should have stuck with Bill Clinton’s favorite game… “Spin the Bottle”.

Madonna "Backs" Obama...Literally!

Madonna showed her endorsement of President Obama by having his name temporarily tattooed on her back and exposing it in concert. 

- A “temporary tatoo”? Apparently she’s not so sure he’s going to win. 

- She also wanted to show her support for Joe Biden, but instead of getting a tattoo, she just let her boob hang out.

Purtan Podcast #56: "All In The Family!"

Welcome to the first weekend of September! Today, Jackie (Daughter #2) and I are joined by JoAnne (Daughter #4) in this our latest Podcast (#56). This is JoAnne’s first appearnace - (either she’s been too busy anchoring the newsdesk at Channel 7 or she didn’t want to tarnish her reputation by appearing on this podcast). Either way… she’s the last of my six daughters to join us. 

Did we save the best for last? You be the judge…

We cover some of the current events taking place in our country from Bill Clinton’s “talents” (politically and otherwise) to whether or not it’s better to be told “you look so much prettier on TV than you do in person!”  

We also discuss the differences between men and women when it comes to phone conversations…and touch (figuratively) on Kathy Lee’s boobs and why the set she sits on is designed the way it is. 

The icing on the cake? A chat with JoAnne’s son Adam (9) and Jackie’s son Charlie (10). 

It’s definitely a “Family Affair” and it’s up right now for your listening pleasure! 

Have a great weekend!

"I Did Not Have Sex With That President...Barack Obama!"

Bill Clinton took to the stage at the Democratic National Convention last night. He said we need to keep Obama “on the job” and that we are better off than we were four years ago. 

- He just wants Obama to win so Hillary will stay on as Secretary of State and spend most of her time out of the country. 

- Supporters said Clinton “hit the mark” with his speech and critics said he “hit on the female delegates” directly after his speech.

Holy Cow! McDonald's Goes Vegetarian?

McDonald’s is opening vergetarian restaurants in India. 

- So if you try to order a Big Mac, the girl behind the counter is gonna say “Sari!” 

 

 

- Apparently their themeline “Two Sacred Cow Patties, Special Sauce, Lettuce, Cheese, Pickles, Onions on a Sesame Seed Bun” just didn’t go over.
