Actor Ricardo Montalban died at his home in Los Angeles on Wednesday at age 88. If the references "The Plane! The Plane!" and "KHAAANNN!!!" escape you then his death is not news. If, however, you are a fan of either "Star Trek", bad 1970s dramas or fine Corinthian leather - his passing deserves a moment of reflection. Whatever you want to say about the guy, he always came across as a class act.

NFC Championship Game
Let me get this straight. The Arizona Cardinals are the home team for the NFC Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles? I never would have bet money on that.

But wait, there's more...
* I just watched Arizona kick the living #$%& out of the Carolina Panthers. The great Jake Delhomme stunk the place up. I only mention it because I am shocked.
* I hate wintertime. The only good thing about it is the lower utility bills. Otherwise, it's cold, the sun goes down at what seems like 4:00 in the afternoon.
"Dexter" stars elope? AP says "yes they did".
In these 2008 file photos, actress Jennifer Carpenter, left, arrives at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, and actor Michael C. Hall arrives at the CBS, CW and Showtime Press Tour Party in Los Angeles. Hall's spokesman, Craig Bankey, said Friday, Jan. 9, 2009, that the couple eloped in California on New Year's Eve. They'll walk the red carpet together at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, the first time publicly acknowledging their relationship.(AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, file)Well, well, well... By the way, did you notice that the news blurb does not say the name of the series that these two star in?
It's "Dexter" on Showtime. Are they ashamed of the fact that it is a show about a serial killer?
Jon, is this really a good use of your time and money?
Bon Jovi is performing a concert to help Hillary retire a $6 million campaign debt. Now again, I love the way they write these stories to imply that he is doing a wonderful thing. The article linked says that Hillary wrote off $13 million in "personal loans" to the campaign.
Didn't I read during her campaign that she and Bill reported income of $10 million annually?
"Personal loans" means she spent her own money on the campaign hoping that her fund raising would allow her to pay herself back from the campaign fund.
Jon, buddy, do you really think that Hillary Clinton is a worthy charity for you? Can you not find some real charity, or even some family in real need, to receive proceeds from one of your concerts?
I don't think that Bill and Hillary need your money or your help in maintaining their standard of living.
