Can we have a big bang?

Leonard Nimoy did a voice appearance on Big Bang Theory.
Wil Wheaton and several "Next Generation" co-stars have been on the show.
Can Kaley get Captain Kirk to visit?
He'll probably say her accent needs work.
UPDATE: Part of Rule 5 Sunday.

Ready for the big game

Alabama and Notre Dame arrived in Miami Wednesday for the national championship game.
A good time to feature Alabama cheerleaders.
UPDATE: Part of Rule 5 Sunday.

It also involved a woman named Rice

Instapundit remembers another politician who asked people to come after him.
Interestingly, the woman was also named Rice.
UPDATE: Part of Rule 5 Sunday.

You say you want a Revolution

The new show Revolution shows life 15 years after all electricity disappears. Would the population look this good going that long without makeup?
UPDATE: Part of Rule5 Sunday.

It's September

September means time for the new TV season.
New episodes of Big Bang Theory.
Kaley Cuoco and the crew.

New in Miami

The Miami Marlins have a new name, new colors and a new stadium. And a new dance team.
UPDATE: Part of Rule 5 Sunday on Sunday.

This is a consultant?

CMT offers another TV movie this week with "To the Mat."
Laura Bell Bundy gets a starring role, after some good videos last year. But not what you'd expect from an "uptight Wall Street consultant."
UPDATE: Part of Rule5 Sunday posted Monday evening.

Sarah Palin's coming to town

Sarah Palin is making plans to visit Iowa soon.
Will the Other McCain be able to hang around until then?
Sure it's summer, but I've been inspired by a Christmas song - Santa Claus is coming to town - for this parody.

You better watch out
as liberals cry
Here comes a force
They cannot deny
Sarah Palin's coming to town
She's riding her bus
she's riding it twice
she gonna show you the Tea Party's nice
Sarah Palin's coming to town
She knows what you've been spending
She sees the piles of pork
She knows that debt is bad, not good
so let's chant "Drill, baby, drill."
O! You better watch out
as liberals cry
Here comes a force
They cannot deny
Sarah Palin's coming to town
Sarah Palin's coming to town

UPDATE: Smitty likes the tune.

There she is

West Virginia crowned its 2011 beauty queen last week - Spencer Wimpe of Martinsburg.
Here's to a good year wearing the crown.
UPDATE: Part of the Other McCain's Rule 5 Sunday.

End near at Women's World Cup?

The United States did not win its pool at the Women's World Cup, thus will play Brazil Sunday.
Brandi Chastain celebrated in 1999. It's doubtful an American woman will be celebrating a championship in 2011.
UPDATE: U.S. wins in penalty kicks and advances to Wednesday's semifinal against France.
UPDATE2: Lead link in Rule5 Sunday at the Other McCain.

Moral of the Weinergate story

Bad keystroke
That's all, folks.
UPDATE: Part of the Other McCain's coverage.

Rule 5 from 1980

Long ago, I signed up with Classmates.com. Thus, I get emails to join their premium service.
This week, they sent a photo of Jaclyn Smith to remind us of the good old days in 1980.
UPDATE: Wombat likes the quality of the post.

Nice near the ice

The Washington Capitals finished first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season.
Will they keep up the good play through the playoffs?
Will the Red Rockets get to spend more time at the Verizon Center?
UPDATE: Rule 5 Sunday was on Sunday this week. Thanks, Wombat.

Robert Stacy Smith? Nah

Smitty trumps Planned Parenthood - a blog post from the uterus. Amazing pictures of the little one. Amazing what our medical technology can see. I remember the excitement of the ultrasound of my oldest, now almost 14. Looks what they can do now. Best wishes to young Smitty, with momma and daddy separated by half the globe. UPDATE: Linked among the name choices by Smitty.

Hop to it

Kaley Cuoco and the Pink Berets prepare for the premiere of "Hop."
UPDATE: Top of the links at the Other McCain.

Some Virginia pro football

The news got past me somehow - Virginia is going to have a team in the United Football League this fall - the Destroyers.
If you have a team, you need cheerleaders.
Kimberly is going to be the dance team director, and this weekend the squad will have final auditions.
Don't think this football league will have a lockout.
UPDATE: Part of Rule 5 Sunday.

Let's go Chants

Who's going to be the first team into the NCAA tournament?
Coastal Carolina hosts the Big South championship at 4 p.m. Saturday.
Win and these cheerleaders will be at the Big Dance instead of Waccamaw Elementary.
UPDATE: The team didn't win, but the cheerleaders made the Rule 5 roundup. Isn't that more important?

Singing star

My youngest brother has become a Philadelphia Flyers fan, and last weekend had his picture taken with Lauren Hart.
She sings the National Anthem before all Flyers game, and I featured her picture during last year's run to the Stanley Cup.
Will the Flyers return to the Stanley Cup final? Maybe.
Will Lauren Hart get featured in this blog again? Probably.
UPDATE: The Other McCain links as part of Rule 5 Sunday.
UPDATE 2: A surge of hits thanks to Game 2 of the Flyers/Bruins series.
UPDATE 3: Winter Classic 2012? Another surge of hits.

Part of the Yankee Phil media empire

As our buddy Smitty prepares to head off to Afghanistan, Internet readers wonder - who will continue the rule 5 tradition?
Yankee Phil does his part this week.
Because there are countries out there where no one was visited his blog. Fewer every day, but they are there.

Those of us who are about to die salute you

NRO's Robert Costa describes the scene as the House adjourned early Thursday.
Nancy Pelosi saying goodbye to colleagues who are about to be slaughtered in the mid-term elections - including Virginia's own Tom Perriello.
Pelosi smiled her usual grin — immobile and broad — and wished fellow Democrats the best. Some stopped to chat, but many just rushed past, uninterested in small talk. Rep. Tom Perriello, a vulnerable freshman Democrat from Virginia, was one who skipped by, but Pelosi called him back, inviting him to join her circle of allies by the elevator. Their talk was short: He tried to sound upbeat about his chances. Pelosi, of course, smiled.
And they went off into the storm.
UPDATE: Linked by Smitty. Thanks.
