* After approximately a year and a half of WAITING, the Sirius-XM merger has been approved! Though I'm ecstatic over the news, the victory is bittersweet for this Sirius subscriber who pays his $13.86 a month and who has been holding out for more diverse satellite programming. Though I'm a registered Republican, I tend to vote for the Dems, but this Sirius-XM union makes me want to vote for McCain this Novemeber. After all, the two people on the FCC who voted against this deal were Democrats Jonathan Adelstein and Michael Copps. Thank god the three Republicans (Kevin Martin, Robert McDowell and Deborah Taylor Tate) had the common sense to not see this merger as a monopoly. I say, "Give me Oprah and MLB along with the Howard Stern and NFL that I already pay for!"This Week's RED HOT Celebrity Birthday (2/1 - 2/7)
Eddie Bracken, best known for his role as Walley World owner Roy Walley in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION would be celebrating his 95th birthday on February 7th were it not for his death in 2002. The Montclair, NJ resident and star of radio, screen and stage, Bracken died several months after his wife/actress, Connie, passed away. if you make it to Heaven, be sure to check out Eddie and wife Connie in the highly entertaining BACK IN BRACKEN, a true favorite with the elderly deceased.
