Richard Simmons Going Via Fool’s Route

Most successful commercial actors and models have two options. Either grow through the patient or easy route and the fool’s route. Of the two, the first one is perhaps followed by people who have already made a name for themselves. Among them include established actors and celebrities who do not really need to do something crazy to get noticed.

The second one, the fool’s route, is perhaps something most aspiring comedians follow, choosing to make a fool of themselves to make people laugh and of course later on being preferred. Just take a look at Richard Simmons. First he was run over in a Superbowl Bridgestone Ad and now he suddenly pops up screaming and making a fool of himself in front of two ladies in a supermarket.

Crazy but true, wait for Simmons to do more hilarious commercials after this yogurt endorsement.

Political Candidates Prey on World Issues

It was just a matter of timing and of course finding the right time to place them but expanding their political platforms to connect with current world issues such as oil and the latest financial debacle to hurt Wall Street is not really surprising. They will always want a share of the limelight. In fact, some of them may even campaign their own solution to the problem.

But as far as believing in their ideas is another. Campaigning is about drawing attention. That is one case in point. But believing that they will really do something about it remains to be seen. It has happened in the past and neither Obama, McCain or even Sarah Palin looks like they are any different. Good Luck to US!

Like a Dickens novel, these are, “the best of times and the worst of times” for Alaska and Alaskans. It is no coincidence that just when Alaska was taking control of its oil field destiny, acting like an owner state, the political game was changed by forces beyond its control and the opportunity lost. Thanks to an ingenious political maneuver, orchestrated by Big Oil, Sarah Palin has been transformed from oil’s political antagonist to a potential ally at the national level. Whatever the election’s outcome, Big Oil wins in Alaska and Alaskans are, forever, the losers.
