TV AND SPORTS NOTES FROM LAST WEEK<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been so busy living life, now that I\u2019m somewhat mobile again, that I haven\u2019t had much time to report on it! Plus, Mr. X has been in Toronto for over a month now, so I\u2019ve been taking care of Clarence and the house, which I shamefully admit that I never do when he\u2019s here. (But I do kiss and hug Clarence all the time!) I have some fun reviews of restaurants and plays coming up, so hopefully we\u2019ll be back on the daily track with his imminent return. Whew.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"douche\"Okay, so here we are. A couple of last week\u2019s shenanigans presented a perfect time to explain the difference between \u201cdouche\u201d and \u201cdouchbag,\u201d something we New Yorkers are very familiar with, if not the originators of! The creepy guy from The Bachelor<\/em>, who\u2019s on Dancing With The Stars<\/em> currently, Jake Pavelka, is the perfect example of a \u201cdouche.\u201d He just makes you want to retch looking at him. And when he opens his mouth, it gets worse. He\u2019s the supreme douche<\/em>!<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls is the ultimate doucheBAG! What a [slang word for a male unit]! His team is losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers, so he attacks the city!!! This is what happened, for those of you who aren\u2019t glued to sports channels and pages like I am: His team was losing, so in an interview, he maligned Cleveland<\/em>–yes, that\u2019s correct–the entire city!!! “I don’t know about Cleveland, man. There’s nothing going on,” he said last Saturday night when asked by reporters what he planned to do while in the city. “Cleveland sucks.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, in a follow-up interview with TNT\u2019s David Aldridge, when he was given the chance to apologize, he only made things worse. They finally cut away as he was saying, \u201cIt\u2019s all factories!,\u201d in a mocking fashion, to explain why he doesn\u2019t bother going out there. Nothing like being mean to workers who slave in factories for a living.<\/p>\n

Then, in a post-game press conference, Noah was asked, \u201cDo you regret anything that you said about Cleveland?\u201d He answered, defiantly, \u201cNot at all,\u201d in the spoiled brat manner that he often adopts. Then, he added, to the assemblage, \u201cYou<\/em> like it??? You think Cleveland\u2019s cool? I mean, I never heard anybody say \u2018I\u2019m going to Cleveland on vacation.\u2019 I mean, what\u2019s so good about Cleveland?\u201d How about LeBron James, and his Cavs who are beating the pants off your Bulls??? That\u2019s one of the things that\u2019s so good about Cleveland, you soul-less fool!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I try not to malign people\u2019s looks, except to my friends or about full-of-themselves-ers who deserve it, and I very rarely use the word \u201cugly,\u201d but that\u2019s exactly what Noah is, on every level. Someone needs to take this douchebag aside, and break life down for him. And put some braces on the millionaire while they\u2019re at it! Now, that\u2019s<\/em> a douche-bag!!!<\/p>\n

And, one last word to him, not that I particularly care about either city, but I\u2019ve been to both and I would rather spend time in Cleveland any day over the awful Chicago! But I\u2019d handle either for the few days that he has to, while keeping my stupid thoughts to myself. What a jerk.<\/p>\n

Just two more TV notations here. One is that that nerdy complainer Siobhan on American <\/em>Idol <\/em>keeps trying to justify her more-than-weak performances each week by spewing inanities such as that she loves the song! What a moron. I love Stevie Wonder\u2019s Ribbons<\/em> In The Sky<\/em>, but that doesn\u2019t mean I can sing it!!! (I can\u2019t, just in case you\u2019re wondering. My only big number is Take Back Your Mink <\/em>from Guys and Dolls<\/em>. And that\u2019s only because it\u2019s basically talking in an awful Brooklyn accent, which is my forte!)<\/p>\n

The last observation is about Kate Gosselin. I had never seen her on anything, and knew nothing about her, so when I read countless negative comments about her at-that-time-upcoming Dancing With The Stars <\/em>appearance, I thought, \u201cHow bad can she be?\u201d OMG!!! From those few weeks ago to now, I really have to label her the c-word, the one that rhymes with punt. I\u2019m absolutely floored by just what a bad sport she is! And how self-unaware. I can\u2019t believe that she kept complaining about her bad marks! Has she ever watched herself??? She was brutal! And rude and surly, and just an overall horrible person. How is this creature famous???<\/p>\n

Okay, I have to go meditate now, to get all these sad excuses for human beings out of my memory. We\u2019ll get to more pleasant events the rest of the week, after I scrub my mind with pumice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
