These are wise words. Let's calm down about Christine O'Donnell winning the Delaware Republican primary for Senate.

I happened to see MSNBC last night and watched Chris Matthews make these comments that made it seem like disgruntled Hillary Clinton voters were voting for female candidates this political season, simply because they were female. How he made the leap of Democratic Clinton voters voting for the Republican O'Donnell seemed like a large WTF? Good for Rachel Maddow for calling him out on it.

I like Matthews, he's as passionate about politics as anyone on TV. But he tends to overstate these things when it comes to the younger Republican female candidates. I noticed this earlier in the primary season when he talked about Nikki Haley in South Carolina. He goes absolutely gaga over her.

A recent quote from him, from a few weeks back, describing Sarah Palin's choices during the primaries: "Yeah, I also, I also think and I gotta be careful, she’s picking women candidates that men are ready to vote for too."

"Big Bang" stars make "Big Cash". That looks like Ted Danson money.

Need a laugh? A classic "Judge Judy" case about a toilet...at half speed! "...and then I got high...".

The times they are a-changin'. Best Buy cuts space for CDs and DVDs for the holidays. More video games and more electronics.

1001 albums. An album per day. She did not like "Aja". Huh?

I haven't though about "Jeopardy" (except for Don Pardo) in quite a while. But someone just beat Ken Jennings one-day record.

It's only Week 1. But the Browns are 1 of 5 NFL teams that need to hit the panic button.

Seems like old times.
