...Since I doubt no one will report this since no one really watches Olbermann, I had to put this video on in replacement of one of my crappy 80s video.

Usually when Olbermann pokes fun at what a joke Bill O'Reilly is he's pretty snarky and funny. Last night he was dead serious and it was deserved. Since the media that I hold so close to my heart would rather jump on Dan Rather than O'Reilly, I figured I'd bring a little balance to table.

Mudge, you are welcome to use this...As a matter of fact, consider it a chain letter. The more the merrier.

Only 10 hours before the Scripps-Howard Spelling Bee hits primetime tonight on ABC and I'm pysched! I love the Spelling Bee, these kids are true gamers as they spell such challenging words as chiaroscurist and vivisepulture.

Now I know you are saying to yourself, "Why does Corey love the spelling bee?" and it's true I am an avid watcher of all things sports, cars and violence. However the spelling bee tugs at my heart. Watching these megabrains fight it out for that trophy and huge scholarship is assurance to me that competition on any level of academics is still alive.

Besides the spelling bee offers up great human drama and much like ABC's Wide World of Sports there is the thrill of victory:



and of course the agony of defeat:



(Watch his eyes go BOOM!)

So take a break from the Laguna Beach marathon of the latest Real World challenge and root for these kids as they struggle with esquamulose and remember the correct latin verbiage of prospicience.

I'd describe this video, but frankly I don't have to.

In response to A Flock of Seagulls, I found a video more new aged and a million times worse, I give to you Finland's answer to Captain and Tennile....ARMI & DANNY with their "hit", "I Wanna Love You Tender!!!!"

I hate when people mistake my kindness for weakness.

Pulling out a Pat Benatar video is no exception Mudge. As Triumph would say, that is a great video...FOR ME TO POOP ON!

However I expected this to eventually happen and I had three videos that I felt were appropriate comebacks for "Love Is a Battlefield". However I decided to pull out a fourth video, the worst video on earth, to let each of you know not to mess with me. Don't mess with Queens, don't mess with Rochdale Village. Don't mess with the 11434 because it's real down here.

My video submission is....."HEARTBEAT" By Don Johnson with a cameo from Dweezil Zappa! Step to that my friend. Step back, don't get hurt. This 80's video war can only get worse. Just submit Chris...just submit. The kids don't need to see this.
