Thursday's show was pretty darn good. I think that may have been because I ate a whole carton of Americone Dream while I watched it. If you have never tasted that scrumptious flavor of ice cream, you are in for a treat. Just head over to the local grocery store and buy yourself a carton of Americone Dream. Americone Dream - it's what's for dinner. Oh, and Stephen's Americone Dream was featured prominently on Breaking Bad! So, that's good.
Crossfire, all new, returns to TV on CNN. Better than that, though, is Stephen's version of Pointless Counter Pointless with --- I'm thinking liberal and conservative pundits --- Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. I'm not sure which one is the liberal and which one is the conservative, but I'm pretty sure neither one was a tea drinker.
Now, some people may think Big Bird and Oscar are not up to the difficult questions Stephen typically throws out at any of his guests. But Big Bird was ready when Stephen tried to get the feathers flying.
"The whole idea of the show is disagreement. Okay? I need you to argue."
"No," said Big Bird.
"What? You won't do that?"
"I'm sorry, I thought you wanted me to argue with you." So, Big Bird is man enough to stand up to Stephen by being disagreeable about arguing. It's beyond circular logic, it's spherical logic.
And it eventually caused Stephen to come unglued. "I don't want to calm down. This is the worst debate show ever." Then he sunk down behind his desk to hide and cry. Poor Stephen.
Science fiction, fantasy, fables and fairy tales are very popular genres for literature, even for children's literature. And now for something completely different. Rush Limbaugh, Mike Huckabee, and Callista Gingrich, have all written children's books. Of course we all know how much children like make-believe. Stephen just had to jump in to this sweet pot of kiddy lit and write a series of historical fiction books. "Stephen-tsy Ross Sews the Flag of History." Unlike some of the other books that featured a elephant or a horse as the sidekick, Stephen has the most patriotic sidekick, an eagle named Tax Cut. Yesterday I went down to my local Barnes & Noble and bought the whole series of Stephen's books. I can tell you they are going to end up on the best seller list. They are just that good. Who doesn't love a little bit of fantasy now and then?
It sure seemed like Animal Night for Stephen. Big Birds, Grouches, elephants, horses and eagles. Even the guest was all about an animal. SHARK. Wait wait wait! I didn't mean there is a shark coming to get you. No, calm down. The guest was Chris Fischer and he is promoting sharks. Before you get all hot and bothered like Stephen did, realize this. Every day about 200,000 sharks are killed by people. Every year about 2 people are killed by sharks.
They had a lively discussion. But enough about that. Go to the website Ocearch.org and read about sharks. They are not cute like pandas, but they are important, very important. If we lose them, we lose the ocean. And we need the ocean. Ocearch is about Ocean Research. What is happening to the sharks? You can read about that here.
So stop reading my blog and go over to Ocearch now. And did I mention that you can track sharks at the Shark Tracker? It's right up there in the top right corner of the Ocearch website. Right now, April seems to be over near East Hampton.
