THE WINNING QUESTION?

MORE REASON TO WORRY...

... that the President's "Czars" have bigger plans to control dissenting views http://www.breitbart.tv/uncovered-audio-obamas-regulatory-czar-pushes-creepy-plan-for-legally-controlling-internet-information/

WE'RE NOT SURPRISED WITH THIS BUNCH

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE HALF-SKULL

The San Diego Unified School District Board should focus on educating kids, rather than dabbling in Arizona politics.... The people who took the Mohave cross from the war memorial were not taking it for "scrap". Likely culprits: People who claim to love free speech, except for religious people... San Diego County wants to build more fire stations? When the city is already "browning out" much of the equipment? ...Obama treats allies worse than evil doers... more thoughts to come, as available.

NO EVIDENCE... YET

The White House security guru John Brennan says there's "no evidence" that last Thursday's DOW tailspin was the result of a cyberattack. Hmmm. These are the same people who said there wasn't evidence that Faisal-the-car-bomber had any terror network connections, either. If it wasn't a "fat finger keystroke error" or someone playing the market for fast profits, what exactly did cause the problem? Was it a dry run for something bigger? The fact is, bad guys are trying to nail us on many cyber warfare fronts every day. Let's wait and see what's really up. And if we'll learn the truth.

MORE HALL OF FAME VIDEO

Tracy Kornfeld, King of the Web-sters, has compiled several highlights from the New Jersey Hall of Fame, including some edgy (but very funny) Bruce Springsteen and Danny DeVito moments. In the final clip watch for yours truly having fun with Buzz Aldrin, talking him into an impromptu (dangerous) dance with the injured Susan Sarandon.

ALL THE VIDEO CLIPS ARE HERE, TAKEN VIA TRACY'S "GET SMART" ERA SECRET CAMERA: http://www.wowiewebdesign.com/hof.htm

CHUCK COLSON - A TRUE HERO

Loved having this legendary American Hero of the Faith on today's show. Here's the New York Times article we talked about http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/04/magazine/04fob-domains-t.html Hear the PODCAST later today on LARSON ON DEMAND (Chuck was on in second half of the first hour)

TRIBUTE TO WALLY SCHIRRA

At the New Jersey Hall of Fame Sunday night. Kudos to Wally's longtime Web Czar Tracy Kornfeld for taking this action video, with his top-secret KGB surplus camera, tucked in a very secure place. Bonus points to Francis French for noting this is yours truly working as "Springsteen's warm-up act".

NEW JERSEY HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES

I'm in there among some very famous faces in this photo from last night's New Jersey Hall of Fame event in Newark, NJ.Nicholson and DeVito (with a surprise visit and perfomance by Bruce Springsteen) stole the show. I was honored to accept the induction award for legendary astronaut and longtime friend Wally Schirra. It was three years ago today that Wally passed away. http://www.wallyschirra.com/ For more event info: http://www.njhalloffame.org/

SO WHAT WAS IT?

Homegrown or international? Crude bomb or not? The car bomb attempt in New York's Time Square points out a stark truth: It's terrorism, no matter who is responsible. (BTW: I'm sure Nissan loves the publicity as much as Toyota when one of their vehicles makes news). Other thoughts: NY Mayor Bloomberg doing an overnight press conf in his tux, fresh from the DC Correspondents dinner, I guess. That's New York, old style, tuxes on Sat. night even in the dead of night. Glad I'm in New Jersey for this event http://www.njhalloffame.org/ rather than Manhattan.. probably would still be trying to get back to my hotel (usually stay at the Marquis).

Question: Aren't we all feeling soooo safe right now? Obama "monitors" the NYC situation, Janet Napolitano is "in charge" (witness her stellar leadership re: illegal immigration and the Gulf oil spill). But let's be fair: This administration leads the world in "concern"and "monitoring". Nevermind he took nine days to pay much attention to the oil spill.

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE BLACK TIE EVENT: Watched the Correspondents dinner in DC. Leno was OK, not his best http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/05/02/jay-leno-bombs-at-white-house-dinner-take-this-comic-please/.. bad move to be on after BHO, with most of the room adoring The One. The truth is that Obama does have great timing when using someone else's material. But BHO's zingers reveal more about his "character", too. Read a transcript of his remarks and you'll understand what issues go beyond simple jokes http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/05/02/president-obamas-remarks-at-white-house-correspondents-dinner/ I wish the Commander in Chief put as much energy into other issues... like securing the border and calling terrorists terrorists, not "folks". But on the AZ issue, like the oil spill, you know many in the White House would rather help fan the flames of anger and distortion, so they can come back and "help' later on. I'm "monitoring" the situation...

MORE ABOUT LENO: As much as the elites love to chastize Leno's humor (they're all "Team Conan", I guess), Leno's been a solid #1 in the ratings since returning the The Tonight Show. Hmmm....
