A horrible reality show on CBS that the network has yet to catch on has low ratings that no one wants to watch. Twelve shameless "houseguests" of mostly twenty-somethings are spied upon 24-7 in the “Big Brother house” on the CBS lot and seen scheming against those contestants they dislike. It's basically a popularity contest. A competition is held every week to determine the Head of Household who will nominate two candidates for eviction. Each week the cast votes to oust the next person from the Big Brother House. On the last episode, the cast votes for the $500,000 winner.
Seeing these pathetic, hopeless people on Big Brother who are desperate for 10-minutes of fame or shame makes me realize my life isn’t so bad after all. The funniest thing is not the contestants, but that CBS thinks this is actually entertaining and that Americans have no life but to sit down and watch this garbage.

"More jobs to be lost to Mexico."
"More people moving to the Sun Belt."
"The Big Three lose out to Toyota and the Japanese."
"The UAW announces yet again another strike at Saginaw's steering plant."
"Budget cuts force Detroit City Schools to announce another round of layoffs for teachers."
"Governor Granholm disappointed in the failed Cool Cities initiative."
Coming up at eleven.

"UAW local 31 considers striking as GM announces more layoffs in Michigan. The story at eleven." Thats all you here in the headlines about this pathetic, Rust Belt state. Forget about finding a job here. Go elsewhere. Even Ohio is better--not much, but better nonetheless.

The site of Fort Nashborough on the Cumberland River in north-central Tennessee. The Tennessee state capital and county seat to Davidson County, the 2nd largest in the state with about 570,000 residents. Known as "Music City, USA" it was the former capital to the recording of Country and Western Music, Bluegrass and Southern Gospel Music before the industry went to greener pastures in Branson, Missouri. It is still home to the Grand Ole Opery. It has more churches than almost any other city and is the headquarters to the Southern Baptist Convention, the world's largest Protestant denomination. Its largest industry is actually services and healthcare. Nashville is the home to former President Andrew Jackson, former Vice President Al Gore and actress Reese Witherspoon.

The state capital of Tennesse and its 2nd largest city. Music City, USA. Country Music Capital of the World. Home to the Grand 'Ole Opry. Nashville is probably best known as the center of the production of music, especially crappy Country/Western music. Nashville is currently constructing what will be the tallest building in the South and the tallest in the U.S. outside New York and Chicago. Nashville, the city with America's tallest building outside New York and Chicago? Yes. Whoda' thunk it?
Nashville is a happinin town, although comparitively small when compared to New York, L.A. or Chicago.

The time of year from June to August when you have a lot of weddings, college kids go home to their summer job and the kids go to summer camp. And for the dumber kids, they have to go to summer school.

The world’s largest country and the northernmost country in Eurasia, stretching from Finland to the Bering Strait and the Arctic Ocean south to the “stans” of Central Asia. Russia was the largest Republic of the U.S.S.R but is now the largest of the Commonwealth of Independent States after the Communists fell in 1991. The population is about 140 million or so and is concentrated in the western fifth of the country in Europe. Moscow is the capital and largest city and 3rd largest single city in the world with a population exceeding 10 million in the city limits alone.
Russia is a cold, arctic barren land making it the coldest country in the world by average temperature. Siberia (Asian Russia east of the Caucasus Mountains) is defiantly among the coldest inhabited places in the world. So much so, that many Russian prisoners are sent to Siberia in the winter to be tortured.
The weak Russian economy has nothing to do with the fall of the Communists, but everything to do with corruption in the Russian government that is squandering its numerous natural resources and oppressing the people. Since the fall of the Communists, Russian citizens have been suffering from severely long lines for bread and water. Its government is a Democracy on paper only, however Communism is still a reality even after the fall of the USSR. Its leader Vladimir Putin is a member of the Russian form of the KGB and is a Communist at heart and wants Russia to return to Communism.
The people have some cultural fettish with furry hats and boots. I have visited Russia and will admit that it is a very beautiful country. I spent a month alone in Moscow and it is a really neat city--the people are nice (much nicer than New Yorkers anyway) and the Kremlin is neat to see. It’s a major cultural center with numerous colleges, and is big in the fine and performing arts. It’s basically an Eastern European version of New York City.

If it weren’t for the cold and an oppressive government that ruins the economy and keeps people in poverty, I’m sure Russia would be a neat place to live.
