Majel Barrett Roddenberry died today of leukemia.  I'm assuming I don't have to tell anyone here who she was.

But the furor on the left over Obama tapping Rick Warren for the inaguration triggered a thought in my head (which means it will die of loneliness).

Does anybody really expect the Kossacks to sit out in 2010 or 2012 if/when Obama rolls them and doesn't push 111% of their zaniness?

Again, just a thought.

I'm not sure what sort of cloth would be appropriate for a bottle of Val-U-Rite. Worn hobo-smelling flannel, maybe?

I really don't get why they're flipping out over this, who was he gonna pick, Rev. Wright?  Heh, maybe he could have gone with Reverend Manning...

The guys at GayPatriot look at the reaction and collectively ask, "Uh, dudes, what the hell did you think was going to happen?  You really believed all that hope'n'change shit?"

I was on the fence as to whether or not I wanted to attend this game, but I may sell all I have and buy tickets now that The Hoff will be there.

Television icon, popular worldwide recording artist and former Las Vegas entertainer David Hasselhoff will perform the National Anthem prior to kickoff of Saturday's Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl XVII organizers announced.

''The Hoff'' is best known for his lead roles as Michael Knight in the popular 1980s NBC series ''Knight Rider'' and as L.A. County Lifeguard Mitch Buchannon in the series ''Baywatch,'' which flourished for more than a decade and still regularly appears in at least 140 countries.

Listed in the Guinness Book of World of Records as The Most-Watched TV Star in the World, Hasselfhoff can be seen as a judge on the NBC hit reality series ''America's Got Talent.''

The former star of the CBS soap opera ''The Young and the Restless'' as Dr. Snapper Foster has also enjoyed a remarkable music career and garnered more than 40 gold and platinum records worldwide. His singing career took off in the late 1980s when he recorded "Looking for Freedom" at the end of the Cold War as the song became an anthem in Germany. His most recent single, "Jump in My Car," hit the top of the UK and European charts and the video was downloaded more than 6 million times.

Radio controlled tanks!

But this is no ordinary $10 plastic junker you used to get for Christmas. Nope. This one makes me want to run off and utilize my healed hand in a most delightful way.

And speakers are fitted inside to simulate the tank's distinctive rumbling noise.

The tank is powered by two, 500 watt 24 volt motors which are so powerful that it can pull a car on a level surface.

The tank is the meanest machine available at Mark 1 Tanks, based in Easton, near Winchester, Hampshire.

And it holds the title of being the biggest radio controlled tank available in the world.

With all the options fitted the tank costs almost £10,000 but smaller versions are available for as little as £100.

Other models of tank are also available including the famous World War Two Sherman, the German Tiger 1 and the Russian T34.

Company founder Mark Spencer said he began building the tanks himself after buying a less detailed version from a seller in Russia.

In that it can survive any disaster, even The Coming Age Of Plenty.

But all is not rosy. It appears as though more and more people may be encroaching into the world of Val-U-Rite.

Customer numbers at Colorado liquor stores aren't down and liquor excise taxes are up 7 percent this year, lending credence to the old saw that people continue to imbibe in tough times. But liquor store owners and liquor industry officials say drinkers are avoiding high- end spirits in favor of more moderately priced goods.

Or if they can't stand to give up their ultra anejo tequila and single-malt scotch, they may buy it in smaller quantities.

"I've never seen an environment like this," said Jim Smith, president of Republic National Distributing Co., who predicts that by the time the tinsel comes down, liquor retailers will have had a decent overall season.

But their revenues just might come more from $20 premium boxed wines. Sales of the penny-wise cartons have jumped 40 percent in the past month, according to a survey by A.E. Nielsen. Or from economy vodka, which the survey showed has jumped 7 percent while sales of luxury vodkas have declined.

"There are people out there that this downturn hasn't even bothered, but then there is the guy who would buy the $25 bottle of wine and is now buying the $10 bottle," said Daveco Liquors manager Ted Sutton.

No one has plunked down $13,000 for the store's priciest bottle of 55-year-old scotch. The last five-figure bottle of booze to sell there went out the door this summer before the economy really tanked.

Customer numbers are up at Argonaut Wine & Liquor, but co-owner Ron Vaughn said not as much high-end champagne as normal was carted away for Thanksgiving, and he doesn't expect Christmas to be any different.

"People are going quantity rather than quality," Vaughn said.

Jerry Sica, co-owner of Crossroads Wine & Liquors in Grand Junction, is using the belt-tightening as a way to highlight something he has always enjoyed doing.

"We see that people are downgrading their drinking habits, and we are turning them on to the better lower-cost brands," he said as he showed off an $18.99-per-half-gallon jug of Pinnacle vodka that he said stands up well to vodkas that cost five times as much.

Some dude in China decided to mix snakes and beer.

41-year-old Wen Xide says he started by eating one to win a bet with friends for a packet of cigarettes and he says he "became addicted."

Wen says it helps him relax and claims, "it's a bit smelly but they're very delicious."

A local doctor says Wen needs to be careful though because he could suffer nerve problems and risk infection from parasites.

Have you noticed who we haven't seen online in a little over a month?  I am speaking, of course, about our good friends, the Concerned Christian Conservatives who were so helpful during the run-up to the election.  Why, I don't think I've seen any of them in the comment sections of any of the blogs I frequent since...about...November 4th.

Funny, that.
