I don’t know about you, but I live in fear of having to watch an interview by Larry King. Recently, a bidding war ensued between ABC and NBC (or was it CBS? Whatever.) for the opportunity of interviewing Paris Hilton after she was released from her incarceration. Now, I don’t know about you, but I would make it a point to take Thorazine before even entering the same room so that I wouldn’t just start screaming after the response to any of the questions. Barbara Walters stated that she would not have tried to get this so-called scoop, because she felt it was beneath her. I’m with you, Barbara. Anyway, there was a very good review of the interview between King and Twit in the New York Times. She claimed that she got religion in her three weeks in the slammer and read the bible every day. When Mr. King asked her what her favorite passage was, she replied, “Uhhhh…”
So, my advice of the day is:
1) If interviewed by Larry King, bear in mind that there is a huge audience of dim witted people who watch this crap. Try to act intelligently.
2) If you make claims like reading the Bible daily, or knowing how to field strip a cigarette, or knowing how to arm a car bomb while creating a porno film for the internet, be ready to prove it. Otherwise, you will look like an idiot, and that’s why we have the White House that we have now.
3) Finally, if you have nothing clever to say, get the hell out. I don’t care what you look like. Remember, looks fade, but stupid is forever.
Oh, and kudos to the NYT for having the ingenuity and social responsibility to have a review of the interview. It saved me a lot of boredom and allowed me to get the gist of the interview without having to lower my standards by actually watching CNN. And I got my little sick kink on, knowing what the highlights were without being forced to vomit.

Fledging blogger, welcome to the fold. We bring it like no other.
Hell we know that the general media can no longer be trusted. We have to fact check everything we read now days.
And television, I watch it for entertainment, and some light education, History Channel needs to be fact checked now and then but I am finding that "Universe" worthy of my attention, even though they keep with the standard of re-addressing everything that was before the commercial break. A two hour show could be cut to 20 minutes.
You know I have never watched all the way through a Larry King interview, I wonder if Micheal Moore laid into him for the bump.
Anyway, good job here, like it alot and hope you keep with it.
Love ya
