The Washington Redskins Redskins Foundation

Stephen talked sports and politics last Wednesday, so a change from the previous night when it was religion. One of these days he will get around to the weather. The game of Golf is losing golfers. Face it, kinda boring. Stephen had a way to spruce it up, jazz it up, and make it exciting again. His idea is good. I hope someone will grab the ball and dribble with it, so to speak, and change the game of golf to make it interesting again.

Also in sports, Dan Snyder. He has a new foundation. I did some quick Googling and picked one of the results at random here. Stephen also talked about his new own new Foundation that has some similarities but also some differences from that of Dan Snyder. Neither one of these Foundations is likely to generate much news beyond initial announcement, so I'll move on.

Errol Morris was Stephen's guest. He has a film out soon, "The Unknown Known". It is about "What you didn't know you didn't know." Okay, it's starting to sound spooky. I hope there isn't any spooky music in the film. The film is about Donald Rumsfeld, so probably not going to be a romantic comedy.

Grab some popcorn and get ready to be entertained/informed.

My Beak is on Fire, My Beak is on Fire!

Stephen welcomed his Thursday audience (the best), shared Lindsey Graham's strategy for getting more votes, and promoted his new line of Formula 401, Seeds of Discontent. The big highlight of the opening sequence was an appearance by Stephen's colleague Esteban Colberto, prompted no doubt by appearances on Univision by Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. We found out how effective self-deportation can be, as evidenced by the self-deportation of many conservatives from support of Mitt Romney.

Esteban always looks so suave and debonair. Stephen and Esteban had a deep discussion about Latino support, or lack of support, for Mitt Romney. We then found out that Esteban has a certain weakness for Rachel Maddow. Esteban found out from Stephen that Rachel Maddow is a .... liberal. And Stephen found out that Esteban thinks he can changer her. 

Moving easily from Mexico to Spain, we learned about Cecilia Gimenez. I guess you could call her  Spain's Grandma Moses. She restored an old fresco of Jesus. We know who it is because every time Stephen sees the newly restored portrait, he says, "Jesus!" It is so popular, fans are being turned away. It is so marvelous, Stephen became absolutely giddy on the show. For her wonderful work, Stephen makes her his Alpha Dog of the Week. We can only hope she gets the praise and rewards she deserves.

Errol Morris, documentarian and author of "A Wilderness of Error - the Trial of Jeffery MacDonald," was Stephen's guest. The first thing the two men had to do was to try to come to an agreement of what "guilty" and "allegedly guilty" mean. Next word for them to come to terms with was "evidence." Stephen was able to point out the fallacy of believing in evidence.

Interrotron versus the iPad was the last thing they had to sort out. Both men had their own version of a machine to better interview people. Stephen plans on wearing his Ask-o-Matic to bars. He should fit right in.
