Post Turkey Free for All

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We sure did.
With no disrespect to turkeys, Rosie really delivered one for NBC. We were about to rent a movie, “Street Kings,” a fantastic police drama (violent, but Keanu Reeves and Forest Whitaker deliver), when I landed momentarily on NBC. Rosie and Gloria Estephan were on the screen singing together. It was one of the worst moments in TV variety show history. Estephan sacrificing her own talent to Rosie’s. It was like a talent train wreck, so while I waited for my husband, I simply couldn’t take my eyes away. …never suspecting dancing food, followed by Rachel Ray in some orange fright dress, as they finished the finale. Absolutely terrible TV. The only good news is that is was the day before Thanksgiving, so many weren’t watching.
Switching topics, on the Mumbai bombings, what some are tapping as “India’s 9/11,” what I wrote on Facebook before Thanksgiving is possible, with the LET being considered as playing a role. However, they are denying it, calling the Mumbai attacks “carnage.” But this means nothing, because LET denies being in Pakistan too, which is a lie, according to terrorism experts. Fact is, we don’t know unequivocally who is responsible, but Pakistani involvement is suspected. Tensions between India and Pakistan are elevated by the attack, regardless of whether Pakistanis are involved or not. It’s been even more tense since the ISI was found to be involved with the Indian Embassy bombing in Afghanistan. Two Americans are confirmed dead, according to State. MSNBC saying moments ago that there are no more hostages at the hotels. However, via CNN, five hostages have been reported killed at the Jewish center. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s intel guru is off to India.
Hey, but today is shopping day for so many. What are you doing? Topic free for all, folks. What’s on your mind?
