From our seats in front of the television, it certainly feels like the TV network programmers have all the power to entertain us. But the press gatherings of the Television Critics Association in Tinseltown suggest that others audaciously think they should be in the driver’s seat, and they’re not shy about saying so.
The latest TCA press tour showed off the intimidating power of the television critics flailing away at young, shy Bristol Palin, who’s returning to ABC for an all-star version of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Look, there’s no doubt that Sarah Palin has figured out a way to benefit from all the media attention — mostly negative, often vicious — after the 2008 presidential race. The enemy of my enemy is my friend — and her support has grown by the millions. Her supporters across America made Bristol a fan-favorite on “Dancing,” even if she was hardly Ginger Rogers on the season debut. But the Palin-haters who dismissed her as being on the show only because of her famous mother proved their real agenda when Chastity “Chaz” Bono took a turn (as a “male”) on the program, and the crickets chirped.
In addition to the TLC series “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” and Bristol’s two turns on “Dancing,” Bristol is currently on the show “Life’s a Tripp” on Lifetime. Her father, Todd, will star in the fall on the NBC show “Stars Earn Stripes.” There’s no doubt the TV critics hate the idea of this family on television.
Washington Post critic Lisa de Moraes made great fun of how the Palins are cashing in to become “the Barrymores of reality TV” and competing with the Kardashians to see which shameless “family business” can do the most programs. The Palins have a good response: “I don’t think it’s our business,” Bristol said of her family, when one TV critic asked that question. “I just think you guys are going to be talking about us either way, so we might as well be doing something enjoyable and fun.”
“You haven’t gone full Kardashian,” joked ABC host Tom Bergeron. “No, not at all,” Bristol replied. Bristol kept up the “might as well have fun” line for the next hardball. She was asked: If you don’t like the harsh media attention, then why don’t you just go home to Alaska and raise your son, rather than make yourself a target? The “please go home” feeling in the question was unmistakable.
In the eyes of these critics, the Kennedys are American royalty, while the Palins are too cordoned off with reality TV divas like the Kardashians or hicks like the stars of “Hillbilly Handfishin’.”
A journalist also brought up a recent episode of “Life’s a Tripp” where Bristol’s son said an “F-word” that was bleeped. (I say “a journalist” because the critics don’t identify each other by name when they report on how they have picked on young Palins.) Gay activists claimed the little boy uttered their hated F-word, and Lifetime’s corporate line of defense was no, actually it was the more common F-bomb. The better question is why Lifetime felt that tantrum of profanity and brattiness was considered great television, instead of cutting-room floor garbage. The toddler bleeps haven’t helped. The “Tripp” show has performed badly enough that it’s now airing in a late-night slot.
The critics’ toughest hardball question for Bristol was how she would react if paired with a homosexual professional partner on the new season of “Dancing With the Stars.” It’s also a somewhat strange question. On Bristol’s previous tour of the show, bisexual comedian Margaret Cho and her gay professional partner, Louis van Amstel, danced to “Copacabana” with a gay-pride message. There was no storming off the set or critical comments from Team Palin. But that is never good enough.
Under fire from the journalists, Bristol answered: “You know what? I like gays. I’m not a homophobic (sic), and I’m so sick of people saying that, just because I’m for traditional marriage…” The media elite replied by happily tweeting the grammatical mistake.
Again, the media code is obvious: no “homophobes” in favor of traditional marriage should be allowed to star on a TV program — and certainly not in a room full of ballroom dancers. It doesn’t matter if they never say a word of protest or never plan an “educational” dance routine that honors Jesus and the ridiculed home-schooled kids who are allowed to study him in school time.
Would it be rude to ask Chaz Bono how she would feel if ABC paired her with a male professional partner, since she was (and is) female? Not just rude, it would be insulting. In the calculus of the TV critics, Bono must be applauded for her courage, and Bristol must be brought low because she’s a Palin.

Greetings from Mallie, a 1-year-old spayed DSH. Mallie is probably one of the sweetest cats you’ll ever meet. She will do wonderfully in a home with children and other pets. Mallie craves attention and her new owner can bank on finding her right next to them almost all the time. Mallie has come a long way from the day she arrived at the VHS. Despite Mallie being a pretty awesome cat, she needs a little TLC as she is a bit on the skinny side due to a rough life before arriving here at the VHS. This wonderful cat will be the perfect addition to any family looking to add a ray of sunshine to their lives. For more information on Mallie, visit us on the web at www.vhslifesaver.org or call (812) 426-2563.

In a study by Arthur Laffer on the effects of the stimulus plans concocted and implemented in 34 industrialized nations, the clear conclusion is that increasing the government spending as a percentage of GDP (stimulus) has not had the intended consequences anywhere. Furthermore the raw data shows that the more a country stimulated the more damage was done and that the lower the stimulus package the less damage was done. The four nations—Estonia, Ireland, the Slovak Republic and Finland—with the biggest stimulus programs had the steepest declines in growth.
It is largely proven that when government spending is at or near 18% that growth is maximized. When government spending deviates from 18% either direction economic growth is blunted. American government spending as a share of GDP rose to a high of 27.3% in 2009 from 21.4% in late 2007. This increase is virtually all stimulus spending, including add-ons to the agricultural and housing bills in 2007, the $600 per capita tax rebate in 2008, the TARP and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bailouts, “cash for clunkers,” additional mortgage relief subsidies and, of course, President Obama’s $860 billion stimulus plan that promised to deliver unemployment rates below 6% by now. Our GDP growth as a result of this increase in government spending was -8.4%.
IS IT TRUE that the General Sales Manager at D Patrick’s, Tony Ricketts has decided to throw his hat in the political ring by announcing sometime this week that he shall be a candidate for the office of District 3 School Board?… that Mr. Ricketts has amassed an impressive list of names on his candidate petition? —that candidate Ricketts shall have a major visual recognition advantage because he is the one in the D-Patrick T V commercial asking you the question “What’s in your Driveway”?… he is also the guy who welcomes you on stage when you attend the D-Patrick Broadway Series at the Center …we hear the School Board candidate Ricketts has also already received support of many Westside political mover and shakers?
IS IT TRUE that word just went out that the president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of SW Indiana, Matt Meadors is going to be heading out to the central Texas town of Waco to assume the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce there?…that Big Red or Teen Wolf as he is affectionately known will be just another member of the educated professional class to take the opportunity to pack his bags for someplace that is not Evansville?…this announcement comes on the same day that it was made public that the last vestige of the Whirlpool Corporation is shutting down the last of their operations in the City of Evansville?
IS IT TRUE at one time in the early 1980’s that Whirlpool had 10,000 people working for them in Evansville?…after that peak there has seemed to be a continual drop in employment until in the summer of 2009 there were only about 1,300 remaining employees in the big turquoise building?…that the 1,000 of those who were in the business of actually making things were advised on August 28, 2009 that they would all be let go during the summer of 2010?…that just like a clock over the objections of Union leader Rich Trumka and former Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel in the summer of 2010 the deed was done?
IS IT TRUE that an idea was hatched on the date of the announcement that Whirlpool manufacturing would be leaving to pull out all of he stops to keep the engineering design and professional services group that employed about 300 people to stay as a working design center for Whirlpool?…there were even dreams hatched to develop a product development park near Whirlpool that would attract talented design teams including and expanded Whirlpool from all over the Midwest?…at the end of the day all of the king’s horses and all of the king’s men could not pull it off?
IS IT TRUE that today’s news of Whirlpool pulling the plug on the Evansville design center did not happen because local political leaders and their surrogates like GAGE did not know what should have been done?…this bad news came because the best laid plans of mice and men just couldn’t be made to happen?…there will be many fingers pointed and that the fingers will be pointing at well intentioned people who knew what to do but couldn’t get the band of local government, state government, and Whirlpool officials to make it happen?…in all reality the die was cast for the departure of Whirlpool back in the 80’s when the first reductions in force were met by local officials with arrogance and a dismissive nature?…that by the fall of 2009 it was nearly too late?…that today it is clearly too late?
IS IT TRUE we wonder just how much the distractions of things like Earthcare Energy, exercise videos, staff raises, denial, and other trivial pursuits took the time of local officials away from real problems?…we even wonder if the powers that be learned about this today like the rest of us?…that today it is sealed that 302 educated professionals (Whirlpool + Meadors family) will either be leaving Evansville for employment elsewhere or heading for the underemployment line?
Whirlpool has announced that it will close the last working division that is in Evansville by the end of 2014. This comes on the heels of the 2009 announcement that all manufacturing jobs would be gone in 2010 that was followed through on. At it’s peak Whirlpool had about 10,000 Evansville based employees and was the biggest reason for Evansville’s title as the “Refrigerator Capital of the United States”.
