I'm not sure why I like Tina Fey, Yeah she is hot but that isn't the only reason. She was so good on weekend update. That part of the show has all ways been good, no mater who was on the show. I think that and her being part of it are a factor. If I read this site correctly starting this Thursday at 9:30 PM for 3 weeks in a row thy will have live weekend update, I think it could be pretty interesting. I wonder if they will use anything form the Debate on Tuesday of if they will save that for Saturday.

Politics and Palin lure viewers to "SNL"
By Paul J. Gough Mon Oct 6, 6:30 AM PDT

The politics-fueled ratings train of "Saturday Night Live" keeps rolling along this election season with Tina Fey's impersonations of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin luring viewers.

"SNL" averaged a 7.4 household rating/18 share in the metered market overnights, Nielsen Media Research said on Sunday afternoon. That's within a tenth of a rating point of its September 13 premiere, which itself was the highest-rated show since December 14, 2002, when Al Gore and Phish appeared.

"SNL" is up 49 percent in the metered markets compared with the first four weeks of last season, as well as up 42 percent this past Saturday compared to episode No. 4 last season.

As expected, Saturday's show was heavy on the politics, spoofing the recent debate between Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Democrat Joe Biden.

For the third time this season, Tina Fey portrayed Palin. Cast member Jason Sudeikis was Biden, and surprise guest Queen Latifah sat in as moderator Gwen Ifill.

Once again, Fey showed that she has cornered the market on Palin impersonations, and her insistence that the GOP ticket would be all "mavericky" gained wide traction on the Web where it could be seen in numerous video postings.

Another funny moment that seemed to strike a chord with audiences was Fey (as Palin) thanking "third graders of Gladys Wood Elementary, who were so helpful to me in my debate prep."

While the rest of the late-night shows have struggled to find their footing following the 2007/2008 writers strike, "SNL" has been on a roll ever since it took on Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and others at the end of last season.

The show's success with political satire only got bigger and better in September, when "SNL" opened early with a special appearance by Fey as Palin.

"Clearly, 'Saturday Night Live' and Tina Fey's spot-on creation of Sarah Palin is now a part of this election season," said ABC News political director David Chalian. "It does show a frame through which a lot of people see these candidates."

Ifill, who drew controversy before the debate with reports she was writing a book about the rise of African American politicians including Barack Obama, did not escape the satire.

Twice Latifah mentioned the book and the publication date, once Inauguration Day and the other Election Day, and said that it was available for preorder.

Also on the firing line were Biden and Scranton, Pa., the beleaguered northeastern Pennslyvania city that has been invoked by Biden (who grew up there).

"They did equal-opportunity bashing," said CNN political analyst Gloria Borger, noting that it wasn't just Palin who was the target of humor on "SNL."

I just wanted to add that who winds up winning the Election could have a Big Effect on someone's comedy future. For those people who can do impressions well they should really work on being very good at someone or everyone. I know Tina Fey isn't a cast member of SNL anymore but I think it is awesome that she does Palin so well. When McCain Wins (I do think he is going to win for multiple reasons like 1. Hillary fans are loyal to her and some of them will follow sarah or now that she is out don't care any more so dems lose votes 2. Lots of whites who say they don't care about race are liers and won't vote for barrack. 3. Most votes doesn't count it is who gets the most points) , I have felt this ever since it was him only and Barrack and Hillary where still fighting for the nomination; then at least maybe Tina Fey will be on SNL every so often playing Palin. I hope I'm wrong but that is just the fealing I get. In any event it is nice to see SNL get a little bit of a surge here. I wish Tina would come back and Just to weekend update she and Amy played so well off of each other.

Come the November Elections I know Have a conflict. I think Barrack is the man for the job. I admit I don't like McCain. But see here is where the conflict comes in. Both parties are saying they will change things hence "Mavricks" . But see I don't think either one of them can change that much. In this great country of ours we have 3 branches of Government and they are supposed to to balanced. So I think that even though the president Is the leader any change he wants he has to have a others who agree with him. Hey he is the new guy who says the people in power will really let him run the show. That is why I may vote for McCain. Not because I like him but because I like Tina Fey. Hey if Palin is VP or even if she becomes the Commander and Chief then Tina Fey will Be on SNL every week playing the role of Palin, well or at least she will be on as a guest star every so often. That reminds me SNL goes live on Thursday this week, I'm guessing most of it will be based on what ever happens on the debate on Tuesday. Back in the old days I was a big Dana Carvey fan. Yes he did a lot of sketches like "The Church Lady" But what I think got him the most fame was playing George Bush, and if I remember once the Real George Bush Joined him in a skit. But to Tina Fey for a minute. I think she does a better Job doing Palin (who doesn't talk that weird just think about that movie Fargo) then anyone else doing any of the Political people on the show. So I may just wind up voting for Tina Fey.


On a side note last nights MMA was pretty good. My quick take on it was that it is odd that Shamrock Got hurt before the fight (cut with sutures) So Kimbo Slice fought someone who was going to be on the Undercard and the dude won very quickly by the way. Oh yeah and Gina Carano won her fight also. All in all it was fun to watch.

So I have lots of interests and one of them is MMA. Showtime has a league called EliteXC and that is on CBS live tonight. So since I have Rabbit Ears that work (time warner and CBS you both still piss me off, ass holes, I think if cable companies also did al le carte service it would be a way to work around this) I can watch that at 9 PM tonight. The link is about weigh ins. I guess the quick report is that Kimbo Slice and Shamrock got into it, don't know if that will make there fight any better (I think she is pretty hot) That Gina Carano got naked so she could make weight. I hope the fights tonight are good you never know.

At least I'll be able to watch the Bills on sunday. I think it could be a very good game vs. the cardinals. I think it is a big test for the Bills. Yes I am happy and surprised they haven't lost a game yet, but they also haven't played anyone in the AFC East yet so we shall see what happens when they do. I also wonder what the 1PM game will be. Both things on CBS (rat bastards along with time warner, who I think should give people money back on there bills based on how long CBS is off of cable for) I'll be watching on my small TV in my bed room. Even though it is smaller the set up puts me closers to the TV so sometimes the picture seems bigger, well not bigger but I can see it better. On a side note I wonder if Tina Fey will be on SNL doing a debate Sketch tonight that would be pretty cool.

What to do, who is really the greedy company, will they really work something out?????? ARGGGGGGGGGGGh the entire thing makes me crazy. Should I cancel cable and get a dish so I can Watch Football. But I like my indemand stuff. Are both side greedy? I'm not an expert but I think if Cable had the al le carte system this wouldn't be a problem. If CBS wanted more money then it would cost more money to have it as a station. Well I guess some time tonight I have to call them. Oh yeah they give us some college sports station that I don't care about and an HBO I allready have. I think both sides should have thought about the viewers and the NFL 1st. But who knows maybe they will work something out. Hey if there is no game then do we get two Fox games instead of One? I wonder if MMA can we watched live online? I want to fucking scream, I need my AFC Football games.

The point that I want to make is yes I do take pictures. I have taken them at parties, sports events, things out side, my place and other things like concerts or events. But I think it is important to note that is different to aim a Camera and figure out what setting something looks like how you think it should look and doing photography. The camera does the photography for you, you just have to find out what setting does it the best for your needs. For example when I'm at a Bandits game and I'm on the glass I have to turn the flash off. If I don't it hits the glass and makes a crazy picture. At some events if you use a flash it will hit the people in or stuff in front of you and then make what you want to see look dark. So to capture the light you turn the flash off but then to much movement and they blur or sometimes the people look fuzzy. Dark lighting can be very tricky. For example last year at (e:theecarey)'s if you use a flash then it gets very bright and you lose the fire effect but you see the people but if you do it the other way then you get the brightness of the moving fire and not the people. There are all kinds of different settings or most digital cameras that will cause the picture to look different. Some of them (mine I think there is a way to) you can cause the shutter to stay open longer and let in more light, Hope you have a tripod or a really steady hand. The point I'm trying to make is that yes one can get very good at using there camera but it is important to remember that what makes photography photography is being done by the camera and not the person doing when taking pictures (like I do). For those photographers here On (e:strip) I do respect you for your skills (even if I'm not to sure of what they all are). I myself have heard some of the basics but hearing what some of them are and being able to do them isn't even close to the same. Who knows maybe some day I'll take a class. I'm not saying I would ever be good enough to take pictures of runway models or Hockey Games where they catch the puck passing the goalie or weddings as an example. I hope what I wrote was clear.
