Two & A Half Immature Guys
Big News
Actor Charlie Sheen is close to finalizing a new salary pact for "Two & a Half Men" that would make him the highest-paid comedy star in television. Reportedly, it's still not enough to pay sober grownups to watch the show.
- I saw "Two & a Half Men" once. Honest. The kid was the most mature character on the show.
September 29th Now & Then
The State Fair of Texas begins today in Dallas. That’s the fair with the 52-foot "Big Tex" statue that talks with a slow drawl like a real Texas cowboy in both English and Spanish. When Tex drawls in Spanish it’s a little like a St. Bernard trying to bark Chihuahua.
- Big Tex shakes his head from side to side like a real Texas cowboy. Fortunately, unlike real Texas cowboys, Tex does not chew tobacco and spit.
- At least, not yet.
The U.S. created the Regular Army on this day in 1789. Before that, the U.S. had to make do with an irregular army. And no nation could feel secure with an army suffering from irregularity.
Singing cowboy Gene Autry was born on this day in 1907. Roy Rogers was "King of the Cowboys," but Gene could buy the kingdom.
- Gene wasn't your average singing cowboy. He was the only one who rode into the Country Music Hall of Fame on a red-nosed reindeer.
Singer Jerry Lee Lewis is 71 today. Even at 71 the Killer can still rock. And Jerry Lee always adapts, so with the tremors of age creeping in, he’ll probably record, "Whole Lot More Shakin’ Goin’ On."
- Jerry Lee could always shake my nerves and rattle my brain. Of course, in my case that's easy, since I always had rattley nerves and a shaky-achy-breaky brain.

Shallow Thoughts
Wow, all the network promos make the new TV shows sound so bizarre, you really can't wait to miss them.
If our society ever stops glorifying criminals, maybe we'll proceed to the next step -- stop electing them.
There is more than one way to skin a cat. None of which I want to hear about. Ever!
Why do the leaves fall? That's easy. So the grubworms can have some privacy while they're reproducing.
Gosh, I'm great. In fact, if I had just a smidgen of humility, I'd be perfect.
