Ooops, she never should have “tweeted” the photo — go figure. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 4:30 pm I am sitting here listening to Jeffery Brown from the PBSNewsHour interview Tim Armstrong and Ariana Huffington. It’s early and the video isn’t available, but all I can say is “what a multi-million-dollar-freakin’-joke!” Thank goodness it was at the end and not the lead story. If I can grab the link, I will put it up. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 4:24 pm Welcome rubinoff!

Welcome to The Planet! » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 3:47 pm Welcome, welcome, welcome! » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 3:41 pm Abby, see my reply to KB. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 12:43 pm KB-I have been here since December ’09. HITO pointed me in this direction and other than reading over on “the dark side,” I gave up posting ages ago. It was nice to come here and realize the goings on weren’t a figment of my imagination. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 12:42 pm Most of us aren’t, but AdLib is definitely our resident Wizard! 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 12:00 pm Welcome S-Man. Glad to see you here. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 11:59 am Welcome Abbyrose. This is a cool place to be! » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 11:57 am KB-don’t hold your breath. Those days are long gone. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 10:48 am Personally, I would like to see her (AH) outted in the same way the Koch Bros have been in recent days. I certainly would carry a sign or two with the pictures of her and Newtsie and/or her and Issa blown up for all the world to see. Surely she has skeletons in her closet that need to be brought into the spotlight. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 10:47 am Wonder if her leaving the country was part of the deal? 👿 » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 2:05 am Cher, This is a follow up to what I posted yesterday about Ted Williams… ‘Golden Voice’ Williams Living In L.A., In Drug Treatment COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ted Williams, the former homeless man who gained national attention for his “golden voice,” returned to Columbus late Monday night. Battle, who like Williams has a criminal record, has been criticized recently for his checkered past. “He was given a second chance and done very well,” Williams said. “What other kind of example do I need in my camp to help guide me to my second chance?” (…more…) And he was on The Early Show this morning, Wednesday February 9, 2011. (…more…) » Posted By boomer1949 On February 9, 2011 @ 10:50 am Absolutely Cher. Seriously, I do remember his voice-overs from years ago (Smooth Jazz WJZA) and just hearing him made me feel better. Weird, but it did. Initially, I thought the locals and Today were looking out for him, but as I learned more, I realized not only did Mr. Williams have problems, but so did those who appeared to be acting in his best interest. He still did, and they definitely weren’t. The locals screwed up, Today screwed up, and any organization dealing with the local promoter/agent should have (ethically?) known better. I realize Mr. Williams has issues, but shit happens, you know? For those who should be more savvy, there is no excuse for shit. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 9:23 pm And then there is someone like this man…Ted Williams. Dubbed the man with “the golden pipes.” A voice I remember hearing years ago and was ecstatic to think he had been given a chance at a new life. It bothers me as much now as it did when this story broke; no one wanted to stick with this guy. It ended up being all about the story — from the Dispatch, to Dave and Jimmy @ Clear Channel’s WNCI 97.1, to Today, to freaking Dr. Phil and every other media leech in between. Grant it, the man has enormous (ENORMOUS) issues, but he also has enormous talent and an enormous gift. The locals (Dispatch and WNCI) should have done their homework, kept Al Battles and his “whatever company” at bay, and kept Mr. Williams as far away as possible from national scrutiny until a complete evaluation had been conducted. Many people dropped the ball on this, however once I heard Dr. Phil McGraw was involved, I knew Ted was doomed. Ratings became more important, and Ted Williams became instant, discardable, collateral damage. Seriously. Who exploited whom?
» Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 8:58 pm Oh you’re a sly one kes. 😆 » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 7:58 pm Oh, and to just put it in perspective, my ex-husband recently built a brand new house, is on his 5th, I think, girlfriend (this one he is going to marry or at least that’s what the kids tell me), and brings home four times my annual income. Yet, I was a stay-at-home mom for 10+ years, kept the home-fires burning, and performed well at company functions. I heard through the family grapevine that “he cares about this woman, but he doesn’t love her.” To that, a good friend of mine replied, “Why doesn’t he just hire a maid?” » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 1:02 pm Cher, I came very, very close to losing the roof over my head over the last 18 months, most recently in Oct. 2010. It was a nightmare and that is putting it mildly. Had it not been for a local church’s chapter of the St. Vincent DePaul society, I would have been on the street in a heartbeat. Older, single women are particularly at risk unless working in a high-income profession (doctor, attorney, etc.). Minions like myself will forever be one paycheck away from the curb. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 7, 2011 @ 6:36 am Welcome to the Planet TW!

Good Lord, why even have them? » Posted By boomer1949 On February 3, 2011 @ 8:47 am I was searching the Internets for Julia Koch’s age(she is now 47ish and he is 13 years her senior, I think?) and found this from New York Magazine. It was written/published last summer. New York Magazine Profile of David Koch Billionaire philanthropist David Koch is in his Madison Avenue office showing me one of his more unusual possessions, a mechanical-looking doodad on the coffee table next to the couch. “This is a plastic version of my artificial knees,” he says. “If you spent as many years as I did begging girls for favors, you’d have bad knees, too.” The 70-year-old Koch actually wore out his knees playing basketball. Until recently, he held the record for most points scored in a single game at M.I.T.: 41. “I played basketball when you could be white and be good,” he says. Koch has a seemingly limitless storehouse of such Elks club–inflected jokes, which are often followed by his loud, wheezy honk of a laugh. Koch is six foot five, with unusually long arms to match. Although the shirt he’s wearing is custom-made and his tie is Hermès (a gift from his late friend Winston Churchill Jr.), he could readily be mistaken for a mid-level executive at a large company in his native Kansas. » Posted By boomer1949 On February 3, 2011 @ 5:44 am I just added, “I hate to tell you David, you really need to take this offshore next time.” » Posted By boomer1949 On February 2, 2011 @ 3:18 pmComments Posted By boomer1949
Williams met with reporters on Tuesday to set the record straight on his manager, Columbus-based promoter Al Battle, 10TV’s Jerry Revish reported.
