One of the sexiest things guys will ever see is an attractive sexy woman in a tight outfit who knows how to use tools and uses them. I have absolutely no interest in home improvement shows other than checking out the good-looking female carpenter, or designer.

Shows on cable from 5-10 years ago or so like Trading Spaces, In a Fix, While You Were Out, Clean Sweep, all shows from TLC by the way. That had a very sexy host an at least one attractive designer or carpenter, or in some cases both. Sometimes an attractive host, designer and carpenter, like on Trading Spaces. And you get to check out these women doing what's generally at least back in the day men's work doing all sorts of physical home improvement work. And you get to see these women working with tools and doing a very good job.

I've only seen a few scenes of Mythbusters on Discovery let alone an actual entire show. But working with tools and they generally work on cars and other vehicles, seems to be a big part of their show. Kari Byron might be enough incentive for me to watch an entire episode of Mythbusters based on what she does on that show.

Austin Millbarge: ‘A Grace Kelly Tribute (2007)’

Source:Austin Millbarge- The Amazing Grace Kelly appearing in High Society, from 1956. High Society would've been an appropriate nickname for Grace as well.

“No copyrights infringement intended.

My tribute to Grace Patricia Kelly, one of the most beautiful woman of all time, and great actress.

song: Yanni – Face in the photograph

enjoy:-)” 

From Austin Millbarge 

Grace Kelly was one of those special women who had the best of all worlds at least physically. One of the most gorgeous, as well as adorable woman whose ever lived to go along with a nice body. And the only problem is that she died way too soon at fifty-three.

The American Princess I believe is the best and most accurate nickname that you can give Amazing Grace, because that is what she was, even if informally. Because that is how she presented herself and how she carried herself. 

Amazing Grace was a gorgeous, baby-face woman, with an incredible voice and personality, as well as intelligence and humor to go with those other qualities. And feeling for other people, that she wasn’t the only important person on the planet. And that all people mattered and were important also.

The Daily Beast: This Week In Punditry- February 3rd, 2013

Source:The Daily Beast- Hardball With Chris Matthews. According to Chris Matthews.

"Rush Limbaugh was his typical incendiary self, Chris Matthews got heated about Hillary, and Bill O'Reilly pushed Colin Powell's buttons about race. See those clips and more in our roundup of the week's most controversial news talk show moments." 

From The Daily Beast 

I’m not sure there are three better examples of what’s wrong with so-called cable news (which is really just partisan talk TV) then Sean Hannity, Chris Matthews, and Bill O’Reilly. You want to know why the mainstream media is about as unpopular as the U.S. Congress or your average trial lawyer or insurance salesman, or used car salesman, listen to any of these three guys.

This week in punditry. Let's see, where should I start? Well, we just had a week with plenty of punditry in it, oh you want more than that, not sure why, but here it is if you want it, you’ve been warned. 

Well, we had a Secretary of State step down, because she has better things to do than manage our foreign policy. I know right, what’s more important than that. Well she has another book to write and needs to decide if she wants to be President of the United States, or not. Wait, that’s more important, but of course it's her decision. And I wish Secretary Hillary Clinton well with her new Gabby Giffords look in how she where’s her glasses. And I congratulate her with her service to the country the last four years by leaving Congress and not running for President and taking on President Obama. And the Democratic Party thanks her for that as well. 

Let's see what else happened, oh yeah we had a Secretary of Defense confirmation hearing, as if it’s not interesting enough that we would have a Progressive Democrat nominate a Conservative Republican for Secretary of Defense. But the fact that Chuck Hagel forgot to put caffeine in his morning coffee, or forgot to go to bed the night before and forgot to bring his memory, because not all of Chuck Hagel was at that hearing.

Did I also mention that Fox News claimed to be a serious news organization. No, seriously, I know when have they ever reported any news at all and that Fox News still remains the most trusted name in news. Well for the Republican Party anyway, but don’t take that very seriously. Because they also believe that it’s still 1955 and that President Ronald Reagan never raised any taxes. And that homosexuality was invented ten years ago and that Barack Obama is an African Muslim Socialist from Kenya. So take all of that for what it's worth, borrow a dollar if you have too. Or use that money to actually buy something of value. 

Fox News is as much of a news organization as Pat Robertson is a supporter of gay rights in America. And to be fair MSNBC is not much of a news organization either, but two cable networks that serve as mouthpieces for the two major political party’s in America.

What else happened this week? Oh yes, Rush Limbaugh who apparently still hasn’t died from a heart attack yet, declared that since the mainstream media won’t cover the real news in America, ( you know, anything negative towards Barack Obama and other Democrats) that if the mainstream media doesn’t do a job on Democrats, that Rush and his allies will. Perhaps force Democrats to listen to Rush's radio show 24 hours a day and smoke his cigars till they get heart attacks.

Rush Limbaugh is about as much of a reporter as Ron Paul is a Socialist, it’s simply not believable. But the good thing for Rush is that as much as he may hate it, as well as the rest of the country may hate having Rush living in America, he lives in a liberal democracy with freedom of speech and beliefs. 

That's the way it is as Walter Cronkite the famous CBS News anchor always said to close the Evening News. A big week for a lot of people and more evidence of why we need to fully fund mental health care in America. And have a better public education system with all of the nutty and ignorant people we have on both sides of the aisle.

CBS News: RFK Assassination (1968)

Source:CBS News- anchor Walter Cronkite telling it the way it is.

“CBS News Live Coverage of the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, as it happened.” 

From Jospeh Hewes

“Raw footage shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles shortly after midnight (Pacific time) on June 5, 1968 – the night that Robert F. Kennedy was shot.

The shooting happens (off-camera) a few seconds after 19:40. At that moment, you can hear loud screams and see the ballroom erupt in chaos.” 

Source:CBS News- U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy (Democrat, New York) after just winning the 1968 California Democratic primary for President.

From CBS News 

“Robert F. Kennedy, in full Robert Francis Kennedy, (born November 20, 1925, Brookline, Massachusetts, U.S.—died June 6, 1968, Los Angeles, California), U.S. attorney general and adviser during the administration of his brother Pres. John F. Kennedy (1961–63) and later a U.S. senator (1965–68). He was assassinated while campaigning for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 1968.”

I don’t want to sound like I’m making light of this tragic event here, because I’m not, but I believe the RFK Assassination represents what life is like when the climb the hill and then slip and fall all the way back down to the valley, immediately after reaching the mountaintop.

California alone wasn’t going to give Senator Kennedy the Democratic nomination. It really just kept his campaign going and kept him in the race as a strong contender for the nomination. But it also sent a signal to the media and to Democrats that RFK was a real force and could not only win the Democratic nomination, but perhaps give him the momentum that he needs to now win the nomination.

So Bobby Kennedy goes from the highest point of his own political career, to losing his life to at the time an unknown assassin in Sirhan Sirhan and for unknown reasons. We still don’t know 45 years later why Sirhan assassinated Kennedy. We just know that he did.

Caterina Balivo: In Skinny Denim Jeans in Boots

Source:Bruce FF- Caterina Balivo and guest. 

"From Festa Italiana 2009/11/25, The Delightful Caterina in leather over the knee boots."

From Bruce FF

Considering I have no idea who the hell Caterina Balivo is, other than she is a beautiful sexy Italian woman from Italy, ( not Italian-American at least born in America ) she is obviously a very attractive woman appearing here I guess on Italian TV. Not as curvy as say as the traditional Italian women American or otherwise.

Sophia Loren comes to mind, perhaps the goddess of goddess’ and perhaps the best looking woman of all-time at least in her prime. But Caterina is still a very attractive woman obviously and definitely worth checking out in her skinny denims in boots. Very popular in Europe and perhaps especially in Italy where the dress code for women is a bit more liberal than it is in America. And you even see newscasters sporting the jeans in boots look there. Claudia Kleinert in Germany is a perfect example of that.

From British Pathe

The 1960 West Virginia Democratic primary was a battle of dirty tricks. With the Humphrey campaign trying to make JFK’s Irish-Catholic faith and issue in an overwhelmingly Anglo-Saxon Protestant state like West Virginia. Which is the South Carolina of the Mid-Atlantic.

The Kennedy campaign with Jack’s father Joe literally buying votes and West Virginia political leaders. Both campaigns running ads against the other that were simply false. When the West Virginia primary should have literally been a battle place of ideas. With HHH offering his social democratic, big government vision. And JFK offering his liberal limited government vision for the country. That would use government to empower people and not just take care of them.

This is one of the most interesting presidential campaigns ever I believe. Jack Kennedy vs Dick Nixon in 1960 was also a great campaign. But the campaign between Senator Jack Kennedy and Senator Hubert Humphrey (or Hubie, to be less formal) I believe at least in some ways was even better. Because it represented a battle of Democratic factions. The New Deal/soon to be Great Society progressive coalition faction of the Democratic Party. That had all sorts of big government social programs for people. Against an emerging liberal New Democratic coalition of JFK that wanted to use government to empower people in need to be able to take care of themselves.

What the Kennedy campaign tried to do here was to make it look like their candidate was the young candidate who represented the younger generation and that Senator Humphrey was old school and represented older people and the ways of the past. Even though they were both World War II Generation and were only six years apart in age. Senator Humphrey ran on his experience even though Senator Kennedy had actually served in Congress longer at this point than Humphrey. With his six years in the House before being elected to the Senate in 1952.

This campaign was really a campaign about ideas and the role of government in America instead. Humphrey wanted a bigger Federal Government to take care of more people. Kennedy wanted to use government to empower people in need to be able to take care of themselves instead.

Janet Jackson: 'Come Back To Me'

Source:Janet Jackson- Janet Jackson's Come Back to me, from her 1990 Rhythm Nation album.

"Janet Jackson - Come Back To Me (Official Music Video). REMASTERED IN HD!
Best of JanetJackson:Google. Subscribe here:" 

From Janet Jackson

Source:Janet Jackson- part of Janet Jackson's 1990 Rhythm Nation tour.

Google. Music video by Janet Jackson performing Come Back To Me. (C) 1990 A&M Records."

It's been a while since I've seen new JJ videos. But Come Back To Me is part of Janet Jackson's 1986-87 Control album. Her first album as an independent musical artist. Janet, is 20-21 at this point, but if you see her face you think she was 13-14. A classic baby-faced sweetheart who'll always still seem like a kid and be able to come off as a girl instead of a grown woman.

If you're familiar with the song The First Night from Monica, which I believe came out in 1998 it sounds very similar to Come Back To Me. Both songs are about new romances with the woman trying to tell her new boyfriend that they should wait and not get down right away and spoil whatever they may have working for them. Which is easier said than done when you're talking to a guy in his teens who can't wait to get down especially with a beautiful girl he's just met and is getting involved with.

And Come Back To Me could easily have been delivered from a 15-16 girl, 17-18 even, but it's coming from a 20 year old woman. But again to go back to Janet Jackson she's always seemed a lot younger than she actually is in actuality.
