CLICK CHICK ARCHIVE - FEBRUARY '07 PICKS

2/28: In more Oscar related breaking news, the U.S. Supreme Court has decided to Give Gore's Oscar to President Bush. According to the Borowitz report, less than 72 hours after winning the golden statue, the SCOTUS in a 5-4 decision stripped him of the trophy. Of course, this story is a joke. But for more funny, but untrue stories like this, you don't always have to go to TheOnion.com. You can go to the Borowitzreport.com. It's got funny spoof headlines and stories. That one was just too juicy to pass up.

Now, one reason why The Hoff - David Hasselhoff - should be banned - his music and videos. The other reason, he thinks Dirk Nowitski should be the NBA's MVP - not Steve Nash. Zut Alors! I'll never watch Night Rider ever again. Read the story... And that begs the question: What is wrong with the Germans? They love The Hoff like the French love Jerry Lewis. By the way, Hasselhoff is cross dressing in role in the producers and needs help from us gals in wearing heels. He says they hurt.

OK folks. It's been a been awhile since I found something to waste your time. But since it's Lent, I found the perfect thing to waste your time at work. It's a website that allows you to decorate an Easter egg. But I like this site because it comes with music. So you might want to turn the volume down. Decorate your egg...

We reported it to you yesterday, the Britney Spears doll. The one on sale on eBay. And it wasn't just any Britney Spears doll. This doll was special. Its head was shaved and she was clothed in a straight jacket. The winning bidder was idiotmyway. The cost - 182.49. See it for yourself...

By the way, I don't think I'll be getting an Asian Week newspaper subscription anytime soon. The paper's editor apologized for a column titled "Why I Hate Blacks." In it, Kenneth Eng columnist lists the reasons why he supports discrimination against blacks - including because "they were the only race that has been enslaved for 300 years." Leaders in the Asian community are not in the least bit thrilled and are calling it "irresponsible journalism." Eng, by the way, describes himself as an "Asian supremacist." Read the story here....

2/27: Wasteful spending and what to do about it was the top of a feature Yahoo! And it included a little video of that national media darling, Senator John McCain. He chatted about how the next president must seriously push for Medicare and social security reform and cut spending. Watch the whole thing online...

The Human Slingshot: Now, people have been sending me the link to the human slingshot for weeks. The Click Chick has resisted it, but alas, I can't anymore. A young woman is put in a sling, pulled by a lawnmower then flung into the air. Of course, it's set up in someone's backyard. Watch the video...

The Six Pack Olympics: Don't ask me where I found it on the Internet, but I call it the six pack Olympics. Somebody put video of several guys striking poses for a body building competition. The funny thing about it besides them posing in Speedos is they all look like quintuplets. Watch the video...

There's controversy brewing over the TV documentary of what some purport to be Jesus' tomb (Read about the controversy.). But in Texas, someone has found the image of the Virgin Mary - in a stain on a pizza pan in Texas. See the CNN video.

Match.com - the world's largest online dating and personals service - is expanding overseas to France and China. Read the story...

The worst dressed at the Oscars, Sally Kirkland, hands down. I just found her picture this morning and I have to say, I never thought I'd see an actress with wings at the Oscars. We won't even to into her nearly see through blouse with strategically placed flowers. I think the dress was inspired by the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz. See the shocking photo... Hint: It's picture #9 in the Oscars' worst dressed list...

By the way, the poll of the day yesterday, 29 percent of you thought Ellen D. did a great job as host. 28 said good. 17 percent said fair and 25 percent said she did a poor job. Take today's Bell Lexus poll of the day.

File this under the I'm not surprised report. Remember that very public Val's day break up on the UNC college campus that was filmed by at least 5 cameras? The kids now admit it was a hoax. Read the story...
2/26: Mitzvah of the Day: Went to Alec Shane Benjamin's Bar Mitzah on Saturday. A good time was had by all (I even danced with Alec's 80-year-old great uncle, but that's a story for another day.). I was most impressed by Alec's Bar Mitzvah community service project. He started a website to raise awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or DMD. You see, Alec's friend suffers from the genetic disease that occurs mainly in young men and most die before they turn 25. If Alec gets 100,000 hits to his site, he can go to Washington and lobby some senators to increase funding for research. All you have to do is visit the site Alec created, onetooneproject.com. The one click of your mouse will make a world of difference.

Oscar Redux: For what it's worth, I thought Ellen DeGeneres was pretty funny. I liked Alan Arkin's win for best supporting actor. I really liked Little Miss Sunshine, by the way. I predicted Arkin could be the upset winner and beat Eddie Murphy who was very, very good in Dreamgirls. Arkin joked about his win: "I think it's because of my age. Everybody thinks I'm going to keel over in a year or two." Eddie Murphy, however, was so disappointed he lost, sources say he stormed out when he didn't get the win.

Now to the great wig debate. The Click Chick non-Oscar Oscar for best use of the same previously used wig goes to Beyonce Knowles and Celine Dion. I'm telling you those girls had the same wig on!

Who was the best dressed? Possibly Nicole Kidman or Rachel Weisz. I didn't like Jessica Biel's fuchsia dress with black sash. The style of the dress wasn't the problem, but I thought the fabric was all wrong and looked too casual. If you want to know what in the world I'm talking about, check out our Oscar Photo Gallery.

Hear from host Ellen DeGeneres and some of the winners from the 79th Annual Academy Awards. Oscar Audio - MP3
Ahhh, the pleasures of late night TV... Let's take a trip into the The Tonight Show's NBC photo booth. When you get inside, when you start posing, it might start talking back to you. I love the crazy couple that argues with the machine. Watch the video...

Yesterday's Bell Lexus Poll of the Day asked if people wanted those Loop 101 cameras turned off again. Well, 69 percent of you said no, they should keep 'em on.

When Democratic friends break up, it's not exactly pretty. For instance, Hollywood mogul David Geffen slept in the Lincoln bedroom twice when Bubba was president. But he's donated money to Barack Obama's campaign and had this to say about Hillary "I don't think that another incredibly polarizing figure, no matter how smart she is and no matter how ambitious she is -- and God knows, is there anybody more ambitious than Hillary Clinton? -- can bring the country together." Ouch. Read the entire political blog from the WashingtonPost.com.

And now for something that's just different... Someone put a clip from a Bollywood film on YouTube and one of the web team folks here at KTAR.com insists I post a link to it. So, to keep peace in our Web cave, i'm including the link to the video called Little Superstar. I thought it was a child dancing, until he puffed a cigarette. Watch the video...

For those of you budding astronomers out there, here's the link to the Astronomy Image of the Day. Today's image, a planet-sized dark spot on the sun. See the big picture...
2/22: A nasty breakup is all the rage on YouTube and it's gettings thousands and thousands of hits. Imagine breaking up with a college girlfriend very publicly and with mulitple cameras rolling. Well folks, it did happen at the UNC Chapel Hill where a guy had a group of people watch as the UNC girls singing group serenaded her with the Dixie Chicks' "I'm Not Ready to Make Nice." He then, again very publicly, accused her of cheating. She said she was a woman who has needs. And they aired out all their dirty laundry. Of course there was a plethora of expletives - so consider yourself warned.
Read the story about it all went down...
Watch the video...

Staying with the college theme for a moment, yesterday's Bell Lexus Poll of the Day focused on those co-eds at NYU. The NYU Republican club plans the "Find the Illegal Immigrant" game where students will show their ID to prove their citizenship. Some say it is racist. Eighty-two 82 percent of you who voted said it was not racist. Read the story...

Make sure you check out the Scottsdale Convention & Visitor's bureau promotional Web site: PleasePityMe.com.They want you to vote on the best photos and best video of the people in cold climates that deserve the most pity and a free trip to Scottsdale. Heck, I want a free trip to Scottsdale, gas prices are going up.

OK, Mary Croft is a long time listener and big fan of Ned and Connie. She's doing the Tour de Cure for the American Diabetes Association on March 24th. If you want to help her reach her goal, click here...

Now this is an oldie but a goodie. Back when Colin Powell was the Secretary of State, he was in Asia and performed a different version of the Village People's YMCA for his hosts. Yes, they were in costumes. Yes, ladies and gentleman the performance was the real reason Colin Powell left the Bush Administration. Watch the video...
2/21: Did you know Darth Vader has a younger brother? His name is Chad Vader and he isn't bent on domination of the universe. He's just the day manager at a grocery store who also tries to date his employees. Chad Vader is the creation of two aspiring Wisconsin filmmakers. Chad's adventures are told over six episodes and their so creative that a major media company is negotiating with the filmmakers who have now been able to quit their jobs after posting the episodes on YouTube and MySpace and getting millions of hits. Watch the episodes...

Well, it was only a matter of time before Star Wars went gangsta rap. Watch the animated video from atomfilms.com. **Note, it may take awhile for it to download.

You know the Click Chick has a tender heart for our animal friends. And once again, I've found another picture of a cute pooch. This one is Lele, who lives in China. Lele barks for money from her owner then goes to the store - on her own - to buy her sausages. And don't try to give her white paper instead of cash - she knows the difference. Read the story...

Yes, folks, it was only a matter of time. Now, you can buy Britney Spears shaved hair, her cigarette lighter and the clippers she used to shave her noggin. Just go to BuyBritneysHair.com. By the way, the minimum bid is $1 million. If you're thinking about buying it so you can clone your own Britney, please don't. Do we really need more?

2/20: Further proof as to what kind of weasel Howard K. Stern is appearing to be. TMZ.com has obtained video shot by Stern that was featured on Fox News last night. It shows Anna Nicole Smith, in clown face, pregnant with a doll in a stroller and nearly out of it. Watch the video...

The Police are coming! And the Click Chick is going. At least, she hopes she's going. Tickets go on sale on Monday at 10 a.m. You can get them online at livenation.com or ticketmaster.com outlets. You can also check out thepolicetour.com. Ticket prices: $228.75, $93.75 and $53.75. And that inspired our Bell Lexus Poll of the Day. How much would you pay for a concert ticket to see your favorite band or performer?

Hey folks, I know a bunch of you got new TVs for Christmas and before the Super Bowl. However, you better go easy on the volume and that sub-woofer. Apparently, some Ocono-mowoc, Wisconsin man was watching porn, the neighbor downstairs heard it and thought it was a woman getting attacked. So he picked up his handy dandy sword and... Read the story to see what happened next.

Not everyone in Hollywood goes to the club or shaves their head. Jennifer Hudson who has racked up awards for her role as Effie in Dreamgirls and is nominated for an Oscar, says she's celebrating her successes at church. Hear that Britney? Read the story...

Another music video of a head of state singing rock'n'roll. This time it's British PM Tony Blair singing The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" Since he's not up for re-election, apparently he's going. Watch the video...
Remember the other day I jokingly told you George Bush was going on tour with U2 with his rendition of Sunday Bloody Sunday. I've discovered another music mash up. It's Bush singing a little Lou Reed that they've combined with John Lennon's Imagine. Watch and listen for yourself...

If that's not enough music for you, it's Endless Love, Bush Blair style. Someone has created a video of President Bush and Tony Blair lip syncing to Lionel Richie/Diana Ross' duo Endless Love. The allies have never been so close. Watch the video...

This is just odd... A Chinese car dealer covered a VW Beatle in chocolate for Valentine's Day. You have to see it for yourself.

If you just can't get enough of David Caruso or CSI:Miami the Click Chick has your fix. At the very beginning of each show, Caruso always some snappy one liners, as he puts on his shades. Well, someone has put together a collection of them. What makes this so funny to me is that I have to get up early, that's the only part of the show I see before I fall asleep during the first commercial break. Click here for details...

It seems that some residents in Troon formed their own school district with low taxes and no school to avoid playing higher property taxes. Read the story... ***Note: You might have to register or log in to read the story.
2/16: And now for the news from Bikini Bottom: Since it's coming up on President's Day weekend, Nickelodeon is having it's own election on SpongeBob SquarePants. It's SpongeBob's best friend Patrick Starfish against Crustacean Party candidate Larry the Lobster. You can vote now, the election will be decided Monday. I don't like to tell people who I voted for, but in this case I'll make an exception, I voted for Patrick. Just go to Nick.com to cast your vote.

The top popular search on Yahoo this morning - tapeworms. I had no clue why, but apparently one of our staff members says that that was the subject of last night's episode of "House." Eewwwww! Read about tapeworms, if you must...

One of the newest features on KTAR.com are the comment boards. My favorite comment this week so far was about story about John McCain courting Christian Conservatives - one man wrote - "I will vote for ANYONE who runs against Juan McCain." Read the story and comment for yourself...

Everyone is talking about how retired NBA star Tim Hardaway told a radio station he says he wouldn't want to play with a gay man and his subsequent apology. I'm just waiting for the fallout from that one to get started. Read all about it on sports.ktar.com.

OK guys, you're going to owe the Click Chick a big one for this. And ladies, it explains everything. Here's the headline: "Why do men ignore nagging wives? It's all science" According to the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, people do not necessarily "oppose others' wishes intentionally, but even the slightest non-conscious exposure to the name of a significant person in their life is enough cause them to rebel against that person's wishes." Meaning - people will rebel against others they perceive to threaten their autonomy. So, when the wife says - Why didn't you take out the trash? You say, "The Click Chick says you were threatening my autonomy!" Read the article...

Why do we live here? Because we don't get stuck on airplanes for nearly 8 hours in the snow in the middle of winter... And someone caught those folks waiting on video. Watch the ABC video...
2/14: If nobody says it to you, I will - Happy Valentine's Day from the Click Chick!

Well, I admit I'm an anglophile. I've been to England three times. I love British humor and the BBC Channel. However, I'm thinking twice about dating a Brit. It seems most Brits want to save their cash for Valentine's Day. Just 9 percent say they plan to splash out on flowers, champagne and an expensive meal, while 31% will send just a card to their loved one. Read the story...
***By the way, starting today for a limited time, Viagra is available without a prescription for men in the UK starting today. That's universal health care for you...

For those of you not celebrating, I have the anti-Valentine's movement. I suggested the gym for us single folks the other day. But this is carrying it too far. A business in Florida (anyone surprised by that) is hosting a kickboxing class where you bring in the photo of your ex and kick it. Read the story...

And, according to condom-maker LifeStyles, roughly 87 condoms per second will be used today. My question is how could they possibly know? Maybe only in Oklahoma where a newspaper is giving away free condoms with today's paper. I won't even go into the other stats contained in the report. You can read it for yourself...

Some of you are getting engaged tonight, I just know it. A romantic dinner and then the ring. If you take my suggestion, go to Vegas and skip the wedding before he or she changes their mind. I have a link on - How to Elope to Vegas...

Valentine's E-cards - the free way of sending the one you love the very best. I like Bluemountain.com for e-cards or Hallmark.com's Humor e-Card collection which has a collection of romantic and humorous cards. Some of the cards are interactive and you can choose different types of kisses (like the kiss of death from the Godfather). I like "Little Birdy's Valentine" - it's the funniest. It proves that when a little bird tells you something, maybe you shouldn't hang out with that little bird...

Looking for a soap box to lament the fact that you don't have a Valentine? Or condemn the guy who failed to use his turn signal three times on the way to work this AM? One Web site specializes in letting you get - whatever it is - off your chest. It's ILoveToComplain.com. Just another way to vent to the vastness on the internet.

The most emailed story on Yahoo - I only need to give you the headline German breeding super-sized rabbits to feed North Korea. I, the Click Chick, am devastated. Look at the bunny (which is about as big a beagle) and you'll cry.

Bonus Link: Want to know what meanings flowers have? I've got a list. It's got meanings of other flowers besides roses. Flower meanings...
2/13: You know I'm almost ready to put up the poll if anyone really thinks Howard K. Stern is truly the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby as he claims he is. He's cashing in already. Entertainment Tonight apparently paid him a million bucks (according to TMZ.com) for the rights to his first interview and the alleged reunion between him and the baby. And he cries... When the tears started flowing I couldn't finish watching. If you can stand it, watch the video...

The Police are going on tour (and coming to Phoenix) and I'm probably going to have to sell a kidney to afford a ticket. But who else is going on tour with U2? I give you, President Bush with his rendition of Sunday, Bloody, Sunday. I don't know who put it together but they got Bush saying most of the words to the song. Quite an achievement if you ask me. Must have been someone with A LOT of time on his or her hands.

Ned, both you and I love dogs. Well the Westminster Dog Show is underway and I have a photo gallery of some pics. It includes the picture of Fineaus Fogg, actor/comedian Bill Cosby's dog that won a preliminary round. We'll be adding to the gallery all day. So check it out often. Click here to see the Westminster Dog Show Photo Gallery.

Yesterday's Bell Lexus Poll of the Day was overwhelming. In England job seekers could lose their benefits if they don't know English and make no effort to learn the language. About 94 percent of you thought that was a great idea.

My boss Lisa Irish is really the one in charge of KTAR.com. So, to get in her good graces and do something really sweet, I had a special song commissioned just for her from Fox Television just for her birthday. I give you Bart Simpson and a balding, white man who claims to be Michael Jackson singing "Happy Birthday, Lisa". Listen to the tribute.... You can get practically anything on YouTube.
2/12: Besides the Grammy's, there were a slew of awards for films given out. There were the BAFTAs, the Annie Awards and the Writers' Guild Awards. The Annie Awards are for animation - and that went to Disney-Pixar's Cars. The BAFTAs are basically the Brits' version of the Oscars. It was no surprise Helen Mirren was picked best actress for The Queen. By the way The Last King of Scotland won the BAFTA for best British film and Forest Whitaker for best actor. You can still see that movie in town and I guarantee it's much, much, much better than Norbit. Last King of Scotland movie times...
**By the way, the Oscars are in two weeks and if Mirren and Whitaker don't win, I'd be a tad surprised...

Just because someone is inarticulate, does that make him or her an idiot? That was actually the topic of discussion on MSNBC's Scarbourough Country. And the person they were talking about? President Bush. If you watch the video, there's plenty of mal-appropisms and mistakes made by the president, followed by a earnest discussion of how his verbal flubs affect his image. For those of you on the right, it's not completely one-sided. There is someone who does come to his defense saying you can be shrewd and smart, but just not the best-spoken person. Watch the video...

Gil Gross in for Paul Harvey today mentioned a story out of the UK today about how jobseekers who can't speak English and refuse to take classes to do so could face sanctions such as having their unemployment benefits cut. Read the story...

Puppy Love: I have proof that the world is coming to an end just like they said it was in Ghostbusters. Remember the line: "Dogs and cats living together. It's anarchy!" Well, I've found proof yet again. It's a dog and a cat getting cozy with each other. Their names are Bernardo and Cleo. Obviously foreign, but desperately in love. Watch the video...

OK, ladies, put down the Krispy Kremes. If you're like the Click Chick and you have no special plans for Valentine's Day, my suggestion is go to the gym instead of watching a sappy movie like Love Story. Apparently, a study was done of some administrative assistants and the ones who watched the funny, upbeat Sweet Home Alabama ate the popcorn and grapes offered. Those who watched the sappy movie Love Story ate more popcorn. I'll probably watch Lord of the Rings for the gazillionth time. Read the study...
2/9: The death of Anna Nicole Smith spread on the internet yesterday like wildfire, at the forefront was TMZ.com which has compiled reports from multiple sources. It reports that her final moments were sold for more than $500,000 hours after her death. TMZ.com, along with other websites, launched photo galleries almost immediately and video as well.

In the interest of disclosure, I have to say I got this next link from Arizona Kabloom of Phoenix. It's a floral shop and they sent me some lovely blue roses and calla lilies just because I mentioned that being a florist is one of the most romantic jobs to have. I have to say thank you, that was entirely unnecessary. But he also gave me something to share with you guys. There is a variety of roses from Holland called the Rainbow Rose. You have to see it to believe it... See for yourself...

By the way, the Bell Lexus Poll of the Day yesterday asked how much people would spend on their Valentine's Day. Apparently, 35 percent of you said you planned to spend less than $10 on your Valentine. Now, 28 percent plan to spend between $10 - $29, and 28 percent of you plan to spend $50 or more.

Give This Dog A Home: Now, I know some of you might be a little more than reluctant to adopt a pit bull. But, if you're not. Lady needs a home. KTAR's Jayme West reported there's an overpopulation of the four-footed friends at the Arizona Humane Society. So, if you're thinking about getting a pit bull, you might want to consider adoption Lady. My brother has two, my sister had one and they were nice pets. And as you can see here, Lady loves a good belly rub. Read the story...

On a much, much lighter note, this is today's, "If You Think I Waste My Time Moment..." Someone has put together a collection of all the hero-endorsed foods - that includes Spider Man choco wafers, Justice League Coco and my personal favorite, Kryptonite Hot Sauce. And speaking of superheroes, if you're like me, you're giddy with anticipation over the next Spider Man movie. Just for fun, here's the link to the trailer in case you haven't seen it. This time, Spidey (the greatest superhero ever according to my 45-year-old older brother) gets a new suit. Watch the video...

BONUS VIDEO: Former President George H.W. Bush (Bush 41) had lunch with Desperate Housewife Teri Hatcher. Their parting was caught on video and so was the pat he gave her on the behind. Watch the video...

2/8: Ah... it's getting close to Valentine's Day and the Click Chick wanted to know, besides being a web person, what are the most romantic jobs to have? Well, I looked not further than Careerbuilder.com. Coming in at number one, chocolatier. Women around the world have known the medicinal benefits of the occasional chocolate binge. So, chocolatiers should be revered and respected. Romance novelist came in second and lingerie salesperson came in third. I'm just trying to figure out how selling panties is romantic. But to each his own... Read the whole Top 10 Romantic Jobs list

Also on careerbuilders.com Web site, it lists of the 10 Taboos for Office Attire. If there's a girl whose shirt is too short or a guy showing too much chest hair outside of a disco dance floor. This is a great article to send them. Remember to get a temporary email address that can't be tracked to you before you send it. What you don't know is that in radio, pretty much anything goes. I mean, in radio we opt for beach attire and flip flops all the time. But belly baring shirts are out. Here's a rule, if you can wear it to the club, you might not want to wear it to work.

You Can Look Like Cary Grant: I think there's nothing so classy as a fella in a black turtleneck. I told that to a fella I know who was wearing one last night. He told me about an article in Esquire called My Father's Fashion Tips. It isn't about a dad putting the kids in mismatching Garanimals (By the way they still make those.). This is a son's reverent look at the fashion advice dapper dad handed down to him. His number one bit of advice - The turtleneck is the most flattering thing a man can wear. He also said you should also wear plenty of cuff when you wear a jacket. A great article for the man who is fashion-challenged and just a plain good read.

Yesterday's Bell Lexus Poll of the Day was about Mars pulling their Snickers Super Bowl ad of two men accidentally kissing after sharing a candy bar then doing something manly. A gay rights group said it was homophobic. We asked our listeners if they thought it was homophobic. More than 80 percent said, no it wasn't.
2/7: The group Public Citizen say some third generation birth control pills containing desogestrel doubles the risk of blood clots. If you want more information and the list of pills the group finds dangerous - go to notmypillorg.

It only took two days for the controversy to erupt over Prince's half time show during the Super Bowl. Even though CBS was scared to death of another wardrobe malfunction, they asked Prince - the artist formerly known for his backless chaps - to perform. Prince has found religion and tamed his act a lot. But now the controversy - the shadow that was projected during his Purple Rain medley as he played behind a large, flowing beige sheet - some say it had phallic connotations. You can read about it at Salon.com.

Did you miss Heroes, that cool new show on NBC on Monday night? Have no fear! I found a Heroes blog at Fangasm.com that explains everything. Fangasm...who comes up with this stuff?

Governator - Cover Up: Please! I've received these pictures several times and now it's time for the Click Chick to speak out. Listen, Arnold. You are an American now. You are the governor of the great state of Kaul-ee-for-nya as you like to say. That means, no more speedos. The only people who should be wearing speedos should be male members of the U.S. Olympic swim team.

One of the popular stories over the last 24 hours on KTAR.com - The lights in the sky a lot of people think came from space ships. Well, the military says it was a training mission. Some people are not so sure. One listener wrote on the comment board - "Calm down and ask yourselves one question. If intelligent life is visiting our planet, why in the heck would they choose Gila Bend?" I'll tell you why. Because they think it's alien friendly. It is, after all, the home of the Space Lodge and Restaurant? If you've been on Hwy. 85 to San Diego, then you've seen it. By the way, that's a Best Western hotel. By the way, the restaurant is known for its Duke burger.

You can also read what RoadsideAmerica.com thinks about the Space Lodge Restaurant. Roadside America is a online guide to offbeat tourist attractions in the U.S.
2/6: Odd News You Can't Believe, But It's True: A Welsh woman killed her boyfriend's cat by putting it in a washing machine. She was just supposed to watch Paws, not wash Paws. She's not doing any jail time, but I have a feeling she won't be going on a date with pet lovers anytime soon. Read the story...

By the way, just below that story of the cat wash killer, you'll find the story of the Chewbacca impersonator who was arrested after head-butting some Japanese tourists and allegedly said, "Nobody tells a wookie what to do!" It made me wonder what Chewbacca videos were on YouTube.com and found the Chewbacca Theme Song. Let's just say I don't think it was commissioned by George Lucas and it won't be getting MTV video awards. But it amused me greatly.

Net Neutrality: For all you cybergeeks, all of you who want to know where your candidates stand on Net neutrality or if they believe that Al Gore did indeed invent the internet, I've found a link at ITconsulting.com that breaks down on their positions. Apparently Sen. John McCain is no fan of Net neutrality, but Sen. Hillary Clinton is. Read the column here...

I've also got the Wikipedia link that explains what Net neutrality is - which would allow an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to put controls on selective content - that would help some competitors.

Most Talked About on KTAR.com: The verdict in the Kim Dillon trial. The most interesting comment comes from David F. in Tempe. Responding to one listener, he wrote "How would you like me to shout? I thought this was a comment board." For those of you who don't know - here's some netiquette advice - if you use all caps in email and on comment boards, that's considered shouting. Read the comments...

And since my segments seem to be going to the animals, I pose this question: What would happen if a little poodle or some other kind of small dog got into Tammy Faye Baker Messner's make-up. Well, ladies and gentleman. Wonder no more! I have a picture of a pooch and some of mommy's lip gloss and it's too cute for words. Click here to see the damage...
2/5: Everyone is doing it, so I am jumping on the rate the Super Bowl commercial bandwagon. And to me, the funniest one was the "Beard Combover" from the Sierra Mist ad. The weirdest - in the second quarter - the one called Garmin Navigation Maposaurus. That homage to Godzilla didn't work for me. I too liked the sentimental and funny GM ad about the robot dreaming he's fired and turned into a fast food restaurant speaker. The funny but most unfair award goes to - the Chevy car wash ad. All the men take their clothes off and do they have bodies like Fabio did in the late 80s? No.
The group I watched with were freaked out by the American Heart Association ad that had the heart getting beat up by goons labeled, cholesterol, diabetes and more. But that didn't stop us from eating the artichoke spinach dip and death by chocolate dessert. I'll post the recipe in a couple days as soon as it's emailed to me - let's just say it includes brownies, heath bars and chocolate chips and more chocolate.

Celebrity Mugshot: Just when you thought it was safe in Hollywood, Ryan O'Neal allegedly goes crazy and knocks his adult son around. That means.... another celebrity mug shot. But I gotta say, if you look at the picture, O'Neal looks a bit like John Hurt in the photo. He still looks a heck of a lot better than Nick Nolte did when he was arrested a few years back.

Special Note: The best part of the Super Bowl party I went to was not the commercials or the game (since the Chargers or the Raiders weren't there) - the lemur. My friend - Dr. Grey Stafford who's been on the show here - has a lemur in his backyard out in Rio Verde. Beautiful area by the way. Anyhow, we got feed it and everything. So, if you want to check out some wild animals for yourself, go to the Wildlife World Zoo. Remember, they have the some new young white tigers, an albino alligator and a white Rhino who I got to clean up after once. Just go to wildlifeworld.com...
2/2: So, what do the super rich and famous do with their money? Well, if they happen to be named John Travolta. You buy a big beautiful house near a runway and have two hangers put in for you 737 and your smaller private jet. Well, folks you have to see it to believe and believe you me, it's something to behold. I've even got pictures inside the 737 (left) which has Velvet seats and bar, and glasses you wouldn't believe. The website is in another language, but just look at the pictures, they speak for themselves. See for yourself...
***Be forewarned, there are pictures the Click Chick does not approve on the page. So just look at the airplane pics.***
Correction: From Dustin Rose- "John Travolta's airplane is a early model Boeing 707, not 737. The difference is two engines. 707 has 4 and the 737 has 2." Thanks, Dustin Rose, the Click Chick appreciates your attention to detail.

And how much would you pay for a brownie? I'd say about $5-$6 depending on the restaurant I'm at and if it comes a la mode. But in Atlantic City, they have the $1,000 Brownie. Part of the cost - the port-filled atomizer that the waiter holds and sprays into your mouth costs $750. And I don't think you get to take that with you. The port wine they spray in your mouth for you - $250 a bottle. But you don't get to take that home either. Watch the video...
2/1: The Click Chick Salutes the troops: While perusing some AP photos, I stumbled upon a picture of Army Sgt. Scott Mosby (right), 22, from Scottsdale, Ariz. Here, he stands in the gun turret of his humvee before going out on patrol with the 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment in Youssifiyah, that's 12 miles south of Baghdad, Iraq on Tuesday. If you know him, let his family know! And even if you don't, it's just nice to see our service folks who are overseas.

Yesterday's poll on KTAR.com asked listeners if it comes to a public vote would they vote to expand the freeway camera - photo radar program? The results shocked the Click Chick - 67 percent said yes they would vote to expand the photo radar program and 33 percent said no, they wouldn't. So if the voters pass this measure and cameras end up on Valley freeways, I'm telling all my friends right now - I'm going to be late for everything because it there's one the Click Chick doesn't like besides getting a speeding ticket, it's having her picture taken!

Mark our Calendars, Muggles!: The Click Chick is giddy with anticipation. The final Harry Potter book - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is coming out in July. The hardcover - will cost us Muggles a mere 35 galleons. Read the story...

What's Wrong with This Picture?: Nothing. It's all over the news, former super model Tyra Banks posing on TV in a bathing suit. This comes after unflattering pictures of her turned up of her in the tabloids. Now, pardon me but if you've seen the cover of People magazine, she's in a bathing suit and she doesn't look bad - and if people think she's fat in that, then I want to be that kind of fat. I've got a picture of her in that bathing suit on the Click Chick page and she still looks good. The bathing suit is ugly, but she looks good. Click here to read more...

From the svelte to the serious: You've all heard about the ker-fuffle Joe Biden has stirred up by calling Barack Obama a "bright and clean" and "articulate" mainstream African American. You can check out the New York Time's take on that in their political blog. NYT Political Blog...

Interesting story over at the Washington Times Web site. Guess who said there is a growing income inequality gap between rich and poor Americans - and said companies should rethink their giant compensation packages they offer to top execs? Michael Moore? Nope. A populist sounding President Bush. Read the story...
