Holy Smoke!

Now what? Smoke from Japan’s  #3 reactor at Fukushima has sent workers running anywhere but there. Again I’ll write, “It if ain’t one problem it’s another.” I know, everyone’s been shaking their heads at this latest nudge into non-sports-related reality.

It isn’t a surprise to learn that the food supply in Japan has traces of radiation. What is a bit harrowing is what has been said about radiation: "Please do not overreact, and act calmly," Chief Cabinet spokesman Yukio Edano said in the government's most recent announcement to ease public concerns. "Even if you eat contaminated vegetables several times, it will not harm your health at all."

Okay. I have an idea. The Devil Who Would Love To Wear Prada, Ann Coulter, was quoted last week by saying, in essence, that a little bit of radiation is good for us. Well then, Miss Colder than Greenland, be my guest as the first American to have a radioactive dinner when the next fast boat from Japan reaches U.S. shores. In fact, why not offer yourself as a radiation tester? Then we will be able to see you coming through your constant mental darkness covered in a radiated glow. Not that we need a heads-up because you make sure everyone knows the Gloater is on another PR binge.

Enough of that snake rattle.

So…. The U.S. and several allies are on a “Humanitarian Mission” in Libya? Hmmm. I’m feeling a sense of déjà vu on this one, are you? What exactly is the purpose of bombing Libya’s military machinery beyond saving the lives of innocent Libyan citizens?  What does everyone expect Gaddafi to do? Run and hide like Saddam Hussein following the devastation to Iraq’s infrastructure as well as their military forces? “We” (supposedly) aren’t attempting to aid a regime change? Does anyone believe Gaddafi is going to sit back and ask for forgiveness?

Sure he will. Just like Chuck Lorre of CBS’s Two and a Half Men is going to ever speak to Charlie Sheen again -- and vice versa – now that Les Moonves of CBS has decided that bringing the Wicked Warlock of what appears to be the now-defunct “Sober Valley Lodge” back to the show is the wisest move to make following Charlie’s latest break? Can you believe that? It’s true – according to RadarOnline.

Please! Even my mother who once loved Charlie and his show no longer wants to look at that gaunt and bug-eyed face ever again. There certainly is no biz like ho-biz, which is precisely what CBS/WB is beginning to look like with this pathetic idea. Sure, a few major Ka-Chings would pay the bills with high ratings on what would be a heavily hyped “Charlie returns” episode….beyond that? I think Charlie should stick with making Warlock/Winning/Duh T-shirts and get his arse over to Haiti where his madness may provide comic relief in the streets of grief.

Better still, send Charlie to Libya where he and Gaddafi can team-up for a really cool webby-stream of rolling eyes, rambling speech and all boundary breaches. It will be a smashing success titled Two Men Of a Kind Who Have Lost Their Minds. Charlie will continue to smoke on camera, and Gaddafi will finally reveal WTF he’s been doing in Libya for the past 40 years.
