J. K. Rowling Knows Curse Words - Lots of Them!!!

Just finished the J. K. Rowling book "The Casual Vacancy."
While Ms. Rowling hasn't lost her knack for extreme and explicit description, and excellent scene-setting, this novel was a boor.  Long, drawn out, no point unless you want to read about a few weeks in the life of Mayberry meets South Central LA.
What a disappointment.

Note to J. K.:  Everyone can use those 4-letter words, no need to prove that you know them. 

Dancing With The Stars

Bill Engvall continues to surprise.  I had to vote for him last week and this week.  He is fun to watch and appears to be having a great time.  

He is kind of stuck, if he wins the rest of the 'blue collar gang' will give him crap, and if he gets voted off, they will too.  Who knows which will be worse!  Either way it would be fun to be a fly on the wall.  We love them all. 

It pisses me off that the DWTS judges are doling out praise and then giving crap scores.  Some of the other contestants were way behind their partners and were 'other worldly' or had 'good musicality', then gave them higher scores.  I had to give this up for a season when I saw them do that a few seasons ago when they kept praising and praising on contestant for bad performances and dumping great ones.  You could tell by week 2 who was winning, and that was exactly how it went.  Hard to tell who is going to take it this season.  Should be fun to watch. 

Vote for Bill:  1-800-868-3409
