Low Tide

AITOOW thinks the subliminal message in Tide's new commercial with Serena Williams is that Tide can even get the smell of stanky, black ox out of your clothes?

Bull Chette

AITOOW thinks it's damn near impossible for an athlete in a judged sport to win a medal if they are not a favorite before the Games start or they don't parlay a dead relative into unwarranted sympathy? There is no way that the Canadian clod hopper was better than the second Japanese skater or the Japanese-American skater. Her spins were slower. She bobbled on every jump. She was far less graceful. And the Korean skater was not THAT superior. She has no presence. Her routine had no story. Her custom was bland. Trust me. The Cleopatra routine and the triple triple were the best moments of that "competition". And the announcers are no less prejudiced towards the favorites. They didn't even dissect the Korean girl's skate to see if she completed her turns. Why even have the competition? It's predetermined. You can only lose if you fall.

Getting Paid

AITOOW would like to see an employment number not an unemployment number. The unemployment number is horse shit. It excludes house wives, retired, people who have stopped looking for work, kids, illegals etc. I want to know how many 1040s come in where the citizen makes over 7k in non-investment income. Everyone else is effectively unemployed. Criminal activity doesn't count. I bet it's over 50% of the nation.

Pay to Holder

AITOOW wants to thank BHO BHO the Wealth Transferer for paying out 1.5 billion to his homeys? That Justice Department is getting work done, son.

Tea for '92

AITOOW realizes that the people who make up the Tea Party are the old Ross Perot voters? They probably did semi-well thru the Clinton and Bush years so they voted traditionally. Now their retirement plans, homes and salary are back to what they were in '92. Good news for the Dems again (40% beats 30% and 30% every time).

Special in an Olympic Way

AITOOW feels that the broadcasting on NBC is superficial at best? They give you no explanations for the differences in scores in judging events, they can't remember times in timed events, they don't tell you what distance is necessary in distance events. They just sit there and faux orgasm (Scott Hamilton) or tell you some stupid anecdote about maple syrup. In snowboarding, maybe you could say that landings were not clean, the height of the trick was low, etc (same in figure skating). In figure skating (it's funny that they took away the by country scoring) they could guess on who is scoring low and why (Jonnie Weir) and what their best mark could be if they make no mistakes. In ski jumping maybe the could let you know what distance the jumper needs to get a gold. The line in speed skating is good, but, is the announcer watching it. They always pretend every American can make up a second or two. The guy who does downhill is equally clueless on what time is necessary. And it was funny that yesterday the cross country guy found the finish to be a complete surprise. Maybe to you because you have no clue. This never occured to him to be an option. He's been wrong on every race before yesterday too. I know these guys don't cover these sports for a living, but, hire some who do or force them to do their homework. I'd finally like to thank CBS Sportsline for ruining all the downhill contests by posting in yellow at the top of their home page the results. But, I guess CBS would be trying to screw NBC.

Prodigal Sums

AITOOW is driven crazy by people who bitch about not getting paid enough or the government taxing them and then turn around and give money to every homeless guy, purported charitable agent standing at a stop light, delinquent selling candy bars, or organized religion? You don't have too little money. You have too much.

Money Trail

AITOOW wonders why people freak out more about the salaries that private companies pay their CEO's than what we pay public officials? Ex Speaker Hasstert has been fleecing the government for millions, yet, there is no outcry. The Florida blood bank pays their CEO 600k. BHO BHO uses Air Force 1 for date night. Why do you care what private companies do with their money. You're not even a stockholder. You do pay taxes though, right?

I Gotta Tell Ya

AITOOW who pays no mind to what APPOINTED officials have to say about anything? First off, they are probably in their position because they share the views of the people who appointed them - hardly objective. Secondly, if they weren't appointed by the current appointer they are trying to save their career (especially in the armed forces where they have no lateral move) or seeking a higher appointment. So there is no disinterested opinion on Don't Ask Don't Tell. Not that I believe in it.

Eric The Red

AITOOW sees a disconnect in what the AG is championing and his actions? He wants "enemy combatants" to receive similiar rights of due process that we give to our citizens. Yet, he allows them to be interrogated for 45 minutes before they are Mirandized. Taking no position on the sagacity of this position, it still seems as though he is not affording them the rights he thinks they are entitled to. He discourages the prosecution without accomplishing his civil rights objective. It's just idiotic.

Lazy Part

AITOOW thinks Jeff Bridges is just playing himself in this movie? I don't want to insinuate that he is an old drunk, but, how else do explain his marble mouth? He speaks likes he has a mouthful of spit caused by bad dentures otherwise known as a slur. They should just rename the best actor Oscar - most interesting character in a script. It always goes to a memorable character not a great performance. And Colin Farrell was not believable as a country singer. He couldn't even get the accent down. Plus he was manic as usual. Does he have a coke problem? He can't ever stop twitching and avoiding eye contact. Plus he speaks a mile a minute. And the lyrics to the song make no sense. A wounded heart maybe. But, a crazy heart - no. Bad choice of adjective.

D'oh Canada

AITOOW who thinks the Olympics are off to a rough start? The opening ceremony was dull. Nellie Furtado (fat) and Bryan Adams (ancient)? Torchs that wouldn't raise? And does every nation have to pay tribute to it's near extinct "indigenous" (debatable) population? It's tiresome. They were mostly white anyway. Can't they get real indians? Love that slushy mogul course. I did like KD Lang. But, the words to that song are very ordinary and don't really compliment the title. The orcas were cool. I also like the muderous luge course. Too bad they abandoned it. I'm sick of novices sneaking into the Olympics. You should know what you are doing or you make a mockery of the games. Diversity for diversity's sake should carry consequences.

Jobs Plummet

AITOOW wonders what the number of sole proprietorships effectively unemployed are? I mean people who have businesses that are not bringing in income (ie consultants, lawyers, doctors, accountants, media producers, actors, small store owners, etc). The bad economy effects them more than most. And if they struggle too long before claiming unemployment, they are shut out because it depends on the last year's pay into UIC. If you wait too long, you can't claim or get very little if you do. One more reason to hate the system (if you believe in equitable treatment) or love it (if you don't believe in hand outs). Add that to the tally BHO BHO.

Would You Like To...

AITOOW has noticed that the main difference between the city and the country is that in the country high school students are beggars?

The Office (Depot)

AITOOW doesn't get they lesson Office Depot is trying to teach in their commercial where a barber buys a sign from them saying he fixes $5 haircuts? They say his competition goes out of business in 6 months. Now they didn't go out of business because of the guy's sign. They went out of business because they did a poor job. If he had just sat still and done nothing the same thing would have happened. Something Office Depot knows all about. That sign did nothing for him except drain his capital.

Ordinary

AITOOW doesn't see how the guy who played Michael Oher was any worse than the manatee (who got hit on her blind side) that played Precious. I know she's not a manatee but I can't think of the animal she resembles. It's something that is so fat that it's forehead and cheeks touch. Maybe it's a bull? Anyway. The only reason (other than there are less good actresses than actors) she got a nod and he did not was that she looks like more of a freak show. It's unfair.

Strain-able

AITOOW thinks liberals are want everything to be sustainable except entitlement spending? And how come no media outlet is breaking down the budget to show us where the money is going. I don't mean line by line. They won't even do categories.

Lip Off

AITOOW finds Pants On The Ground similar to Drop It Like It's Hot?

Senior Moment

AITOOW thinks Bon Jovi forgot the words to Living On A Prayer last night at the Grammys?
