Apparently James Brown won the Maine caucus
quite a feat for a dead guy..

CNN seems to think that "this was your Life, James Brown" is just the ticket for a Sunday afternoon when NOTHING is happening..

Just before this, we had dating tips offered..with emphasis on how to pick up women..

MSNBC of course cannot be bothered either..not in the middle of a 29-hour All-Crime-All-the-Time festival ..

Cspan's offering the ever-lovely Fran Townsend or old bookNotes..

2. There was also the rerun of Huckabee on Meet the Press...
I really can't blame most of the people for not wanting to work on a Saturday afternoon, but the security guy could have at least posted something about it on the website.

3. Forget the TV - it's a gorgeous day outside
Don't know what part of SoCal you're in but it's in the 70's on the coast here in SLO county. Just got back from a nice walk on the beach.

4. But, Wait!!
Right before the James Brown thingy started at 9:00 pm, a little blonde commentator was doing a grammy pre-intro.
Did you see that freaky black lady who grabbed the mike from her and said "(?) are the N****s of hollywood.
Do you know what she said???
All I heard was the "N" word, and I did a double-take.
I couldn't believe my hears!!
And the black commentator looked shocked AND perturbed as well, as he introduced the James Brown repeat.
Yikes!
I betcha that commentator's gonna be in hot water for allowing that lady to snatch her mike.
