TV catch phrases
Kuff gives us the List of 100 top TV catchphrases according to the folks at TVLand. I agree with Charles that news events should have been exclused and there are a number of things on the list I wouldn't hesitate to strike, but overall It's not a bad list. Still, I can immediately see some glaring omissions: "Nanu, Nanu!" - Mork and Mindy "Beam me up, Scotty." - Star Trek "Damn it, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a ...." - Star Trek "You're traveling through another dimension..." - Rod Serling's intro to Twilight Zone. "Crikey!" - The Crockodile Hunter. And I'm sure there are many more...

My TV Network
You’ve heard of fantasy football leagues. Well, here is my version of a fantasy television network. If I had my own TV network that I could lineup with any shows that I wanted, this is what it would look like: The Mike Thomas Network (MTN) MONDAY Star Trek Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angel TUESDAY Star Trek: The Next Generation Hercules: The Legendary Journeys Jack of All Trades / Cleopatra 2525 WEDNESDAY Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Xena: Warrior Princess Lost THURSDAY Star Trek: Voyager The Twilight Zone Babylon Five FRIDAY Enterprise The X-Files Sliders SATURDAY Danger Mouse / The Simpsons Mystery Science Theater 3000 SUNDAY The Wonderful World of Disney The Muppet Show Monty Python

GOP presidential contenders
Just take a look at the leading Republican contenders for the 2008 presidential election: Rudy Giuliani John McCain Mitt Romney Chuck Hagel What's wrong with this picture? Where are the conservatives?? Are they just going to sit this election out? I can't believe the GOP would nominate a liberal from New York (Giuliani) or a liberal from Massachusetts (Romney) as their standard bearer. And McCain? Sure, I think he's a conservative, but that's not the first word that comes to mind when people describe him. That word would be "maverick." So maybe there is something to this Newt Gingrich for President campaign. He would be the only "true conservative" in the race, not to mention the only southerner. But at this point it looks like the Republicans are just going to take a pass on the '08 election. Maybe they think they can come back stronger than ever in 2012 after we've had four years under President Hillary Clinton. What they fail to understand and refuse to see, however, is that four years under Hillary will be a blissful experience following the eight-year debacle that was the George W. presidency.

A very good month
What a great month this was! It started off with the Democrats kicking Republican butts all across the country, quickly followed by a cowed President Bush finally canning Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld. The middle of the month was marked by my little girl’s first birthday! And now we cap off the month with an Aggie victory over the Texas Longhorns!
