The moral of his story –
If you are among the 150 million who are not saving for retirement, now would be a good time to do so.

+ Brad Trechak of TV SQUAD gives us a preview of the upcoming “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” Fox series in his post “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles -- An Early Look”. The sci-fi show premieres on Sunday, January 13, at 8 PM before settling into its normal timeslot on Monday, January 14, at 9 PM.
+ TV SQUAD also reports that “David Letterman has struck a deal with the Writers Guild of America, and both his show and “The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson” (both produced by Letterman's Worldwide Pants) will return next Wednesday, January 2.”
No big news. The David Letterman show is not funny!
If I am watching tv at 11:30 at night it is usually Jay Leno. After his monologue and nightly “bit” (I especially like his “Headlines”, but am sick of “Jay Walking”) I usually switch over to CBS to hear Letterman’s “Top Ten List”.
While waiting one evening I had to sit through a bit in which the crew threw a safe off the top of the building. It landed on and flattened a car. So what? Was this supposed to be funny? If so, the humor was certainly lost on me.
Apparently David Letterman often has items thrown off the top of his building. Can someone tell me why?
The David Letterman Show makes a habit of beating a lame bit, at most mildly amusing the first time, to death. Some bits eventually end (for a while he had a different person lock up The Late Show Bear each night - stupid indeed) while some go on forever ("Will It Float" - who gives a f - - -?).
I have not seen a David Letterman monologue and I have not viewed any of his interviews, so I can't comment on these portions of the program. With the exception of the occasional Top Ten entry I have found very little of what I have seen to be even marginally humorous. I can't, for the life of me, understand why he has been on the air for so long.
+ It was recently announced that the publishers have “delayed” indefinitely publication of a book of parenting advice (“Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World”) by Lynne Spears, mother of the infamous Britney and Jamie Lynn, after 16-year old Jamie Lynn, of “Zoey 101”, announced that she was pregnant.
Having Lynne Spears write a book on parenting is like having a young John McEnroe write a book on anger management, or Charlie Sheen write about the benefits of sexual abstinence.
I wish Rance and Jean Howard had written a book on the proper way to raise a child star. I don’t remember ever reading about Ron Howard’s trips to Rehab or Clint Howard’s bouts with drugs and alcohol.
While Lynne Spears should not take all the blame for her daughters’ behavior, she certainly deserves a big chunk of it, as do the parents of the other popular tabloid darlings.
Guess who has come to her defense? Why all-knowing Dr. Phil! The jury consultant and professional tv finger-wagger has said "An asset that Britney and Jamie Lynn both have is a great and dedicated mother" and that her kids are lucky to have her. Phil, shut up!
