Labour Policy Announcement Achieves Widespread Coverage
On the day Ed Miliband made his big new policy announcement on welfare, the BBC is talking about their broken promise on owls:
Ross Hawk-ins' finest hour…
On the day Ed Miliband made his big new policy announcement on welfare, the BBC is talking about their broken promise on owls:
Ross Hawk-ins' finest hour…
'Tis unnatural,
Even like the deed that's done. On Tuesday last,
A falcon, tow'ring in her pride of place,
Was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed.
I could have done with this type of distraction when I was busy blowing up the economy.
Mexican government boss forced to quit after web cam records him having sex in his office (after telling colleagues he was in an important meeting).
And John Prescott becomes a Lord.????????
Given it was a useless policy announcement made by a useless individual it's probably a good thing that the owls made the headlines.
Labour truly is the party for fuckwits.
The Owl of Minerva only takes flight at dusk.
Are you sure he didn't say hoop? I hear he likes hoops. He's allegedly fond of tubes too.
Hiding his Tube in a hoop is his favourite game.
Yes, always remember to say you must have been hacked when someone tweets something that backfires.
Wish I'd thought of that.
And this parliament – must be the most ridiculed, pathetic, despicable, misguided, corrupt, fraudulent parliament this country has ever witnessed …
As for this country's leading political 'lights' – well i think the lights went out back in 2003.
A collective group of the most slovenly, lazy, corrupt, money-grubbing bone idle 'chancers' – across the political divide ever.
It's a Turkey S'hoot – for the British Public against the three stooge parties.
I am still surprised that Miliband married.
I didn't think he had the wit to woo.
Or when you find your digital surfing equipment has somehow been tracked looking for large dark penii.
Here's something to put to the useless MP's across the board befor their school summer recess on July 22nd – ask your MP if he is aware of QMV and put it in clear writing to him / her that 'i do not consent to being suborned under any Laws, Regulations, Acts, Statutes or EU diktats in respect of QMV and i require that you acknowledge this letter in your own personal handwriting by friday 4th July 2014′.
They say the baker's daughter was turned into an owl for refusing Jesus' bread.
I wonder if that Labour tweet was sent using the Hootsuite app!
You post excellent, witty and in-depth stuff guido about Labour's failings. However, it needs to go further. Tory supporters such as myself get ourselves into a daily frustrated and feverish state about how Labour are sllowed to get away with Iit all the time and the Tory government gets blamed for all the necessary and harsh decisions that they have to take to get us back on track and restore this country to a great independent powerhouse.
I got so angry last week at Ed Balls on telly I kicked my telly off the stand and I smashed two of my best plates as well. I can't stand Labour at all. Absolute tossers.
Britain has to simply get voting tory again like for Maggie. There is no other way.
My wife and I are going to live abroad if Labour win again. We already have ferry to France booked for 8 May 2015 9am. We'll see what happens after that!
That dork, Miliband.
He makes a speech like a gasbag. I think he may be a flake. Goddam dweeb.
And where can I get a Jack-in-the-box sirloin Swiss and grilled onion burger in this goddam faggoty country?
And if you guys at the rapid rebumming, or whatever the heck you're called now, can't come up with better false flags than this then you need to bring a big cardboard box to work on Monday. Pack it full of your possessions. Climb into it. And I'll chuck it off the fourth floor you waste of space Oxbridge, la-di-dah, I can hold a teacup, nanny taught me which spoon is for scraping mould of the stink in' frog cheese, jodhpurs under your combat pants, faggoty, trust fund waste of carbon, assholes!
If uk,s current political scene was filmed as a serious drama milliband would be sadly miscast.
HoHum edmilitwit gives his biggest speech of his career and everybody is talking about the tweet that labour says everybody should have an owl!! ++++Laugh++++
Umm tell me again what exactly did militwit say??
Well we dont want Milishit in for 5 years. Can you imagine? We'd end up being signed up to every EU policy known to man. At least Cameron and Hague can stand up to Brussels. Whereas Nigel Farage and his German wife just rake in EU cash and enjoy Brussels beer!
He told some lies about how labour would prevent sponging.
LOL! Ferry booked to France? You really fancy living under militwit's pal Hollande??!!
WMD anyone? Telegraph headline: Iraq crisis: Isis jihadists 'seize Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons stockpile'
Odious, obnoxious and have f*ck all to do with the working classes in this country!
Owl be buggered. Ed comes up with the best idea in British politics for years then immediately throws t' owl in.
We have had Loons, Cookoos, Boobies and both greater and lesser Tits, so why not Owls? No one can soar like an Eagle when led by a Turkey.
Damn! I knew that we put it somewhere!
Is it true that Hooters are donating to Labour?
Quite. I just drive down the M20 to the signs that say "Channel Tunnel" and then buy a ticket. Voila! France.
Ferry bookings? A bit 1960.
Well at least if Milidick wins we can all jump from the ferry and drown!
Rachael Reeves:" Do you like our owl?"
Farraged:" It's artificial?"
Rachael Reeves:" Of course it is. This is the labour party – Everything is artificial"
Farraged: "Must be expensive."
Rachael Reeves: "Very. All our ideas are. I'm Rachael."
Farraged: "Nigel.. "
Rachael Reeves: "It seems you feel socialism is not a benefit to the public."
Farraged: "Labour MPs are like any other politician. They're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem."
I think sex in your office could be construed as "an important meeting"
The BBC have gone off-message.
Why are they trying to undermine their own party?
Is this the breakdown of Civilisation as The Lord Clark, Kenneth McKenzie Clark, knows it?
And this parliament – must be the most ridiculed, pathetic, despicable, misguided, corrupt, fraudulent parliament this country has ever witnessed …
i can remember a worse one.
Although we broadcast the N word as part of the Rik Mayall / Young Ones Comedy Connections tribute, please remember that it's OK when we do it.

It occurs to me that explosive London house prices mean that, considered purely as square footage, Rolls Royces are relatively cheap.

And brother too.

I am a mong
So eddy it's time to say
Stand up and give us a gong.
UKIP have got the seven nationalities needed in the EFD group now:
Time to kick ECR butt.
Vote UKIP :-D
You seem to be struggling for ideas these days. Perhaps you might find this useful?
My gift to you.
Tapsell is right, what Blair did outstripped Nixon and he got defrocked. Thousands of people died at Blair's hands under false pretense. He's in the same league as Milosevic.
Why are you mentioning that Farage has a German wife , many of my mates in the army had german wives , may I suggest you try insulting them ,they would shove your head up your slimy arse .
If you imagine the spineless collaborators Hague and Cameron ever stood up to Brussels then you are obviously living on some other planet ,they are among the most treacherous EU arsehole suckers of them all ,for the simple reason it is within their power to do something about it , yet they are too afraid .
Oh dear. C4 news asking people what they think of red Ed. All the muzzies loved him, but the honkeys didn't.
Looks like Labour need yet more Muslims in England.
When victorious we will be homecoming for victory parade with Mr Ed.

Beeboids overdosing on disabled benefit fraud, ie more free money needed 'coz people are waiting months for handout. Therefore it MUST be a wrong policy.

I don't give two hoots what you think.
Applause and cavernous echoing Jap versions of 'The Red Flag' emanating from a futuristic blimp.
Eddie Mair on 'PM' seemed to be urging Ed to raise his game by highlighting this bit of avian whimsy and a new poll that gave 40% of respondents preferring David M to Ed (as well as 60% thinking Ed is not a PM in waiting).
I'm surprised that many people other than politics junkies could still recall the brother whose abiding appeal I can only surmise rests upon his arrogant radiating of entitlement and sense of superiority, as opposed to Ed's far more pleasant crapness. Even Mandelson on last night's 'Newsnight' was damning him with praise so faint you could clearly see his disdain through it.

I'd like to wish the best of luck to Roy Rovers and the whole of the England team. I'm certain Wayne Clooney will do us proud.
Go into Syr!a? After you sunshine.
What a fooking ars€holes like this guy might consider is that maybe, just maybe funding, training, arming and supporting the ISIS *ahem* 'rebels' in the first place to get rid of As'sad was a bit of a mistake?
And now instead of airstrikes etc to HELP these guys we're supposed to support airstrikes etc AGAINST them ?
Interesting the opprobrium which is being kicked up in certain circles about some of his associates but he has taken care to get letters from them disavowing any previously held views.
The fact is that the rules on this make these shenanigans necessary if one is not to be disadvantaged against the very people one is fighting.
How wonderful it must be for these "haves" to look down their Pinocchio noses at the "have nots" for attempting merely to attain a level position from which to argue their case…
So kind of you to offer a gift from which you would have benefited, had you used it yourself.
Your restraint is admirable.
It is a pity that the FN have completely lost the plot : If they were just a bit more negotiable then the large French bloc in EFD would have been awesome.
Picking up a few of the non-Inscrits was a smart move.
Even though the politics is slightly different – looking forward to seeing the double act of Farage and Grillo chew up the EP. Should be a pop-corn-tastic time ahead.
ECR have got Finnish National Socialists in their midst – seriously unpleasant folk. And ECR don't give too much of a toss about what Dave utters either.
Vote UKIP :-D
Forget the World Cup. I'm watching The World Clunge: Dribbling Balls.
It's just as well Tony Blair isn't Labour leader. He'd have done to owls what he did to everyone else who embarrassed him.
RIP Mo Mowlam, Robin Cook, Dr K*lly and the million dead in Iraq.
'Stand up to Brussels'. That's why Juncker isn't going to get the job is it? Bollocks!!!
He's a LibDem. Treat him with the contempt he deserves.
And, of course, the tens of thousands who fell ill and were transported to NHS hospitals for killing.
I mean, "care".
Labour's secret weapon the owl?
If Cameron could choose a fowl
Poultry would be his favourite
Since, as P M he's chicken shit
For the E U, he'd lay an egg –
Or dump Britain with any smeg

This is it then. Come on England. We can play better than that. Let's get behind our boys in the second half.
Vote Conservative get Liebour or LibCrap or Liebour and LibCrap or Conservative and LibCrap
Open their doors to chavs ,they are poor because they are stupid, therefore their children will be stupid and uneducable, it's hereditary.
It isn't their fault they were bred by labour to undermine the quality of the indigenous population in preparation for the coming mass immigration, a few changes to the welfare system would see them die out within a generation ,if there is no more free housing for 'singool muvvers' ,and child benefit only payable for children born in wedlock the problem would be solved very quickly.
French intransigence is legendary. Marine has actually managed to shift the ground slightly from her father but not nearly far enough.
Farage's success may well strike her that she has missed a trick. So there is a momentum to follow here. But in organisations like this, one may only move at the speed of the slowest. And OMG are some of them slow! I despair about ours but they are angels by comparison (note to self: do not get carried away here. Self-response: too true old son! :-) )
There is a wonderful symmetry for the Non-Inscrits though. Clearly, one needs to go beyond the minimum to avoid being held hostage by any one group or even one N-I. This he is doing. It is another enormous feather in his cap.
Agree that interesting times lie ahead.
Most importantly: Vote UKIP :-D
!taly's position on Juncker has changed – This is important:
Further isolates Cameron and applies useful pressure to help reduce the stress in both !taly and F'rance.
Vote UKIP :-D
The government has been urged to intervene in the case of a Manchester couple stranded in India due to Passport Office delays.
They travelled out three months ago to collect their surrogate twins.
Jesus, get some other Hunt to breed them for you in India.
Fuck me bring em all in……….
You're the one we all look up to, Andy.
There are two critical problems with FN:
i) They will be discredited by the F'rench left: Some of the 'rac!st' attacks that have been happening in F'rance being blamed on the right look more like handiwork of the left. That is a similar pattern to what has been going on with G'olden D'awn courtesy of S'yriza.
ii) They may be backed by the K'remlin.
The one F'rench NI which UKIP have picked up should be watched carefully: She might be SVR.
If Le Pen has the strength – she may need her father to do this – it would be good is she could straighten the party out and then approach EFD.
Post below on !taly's change of position wrt Juncker may help that. In order to calm down the pan-europa drive for Federal Monarchy pressure will be needed from the major European nations in the EP to moderate Juncker.
Key is to consolidate the democratic legitimacy of the Euro-Pres office – part of that will be opposing it and EUCO's moves to go down the pan-europa path.
A good demonstration of demos would be to perhaps remove Juncker in the next few years and replace with Schulz before he can do any real damage, and before the next EP elections. That would also confirm the power of the EP itself which needs to happen over the next few years also.
It is a pity that G'ermany is not on board: It would be good if they saw sense and changed course though. The social problems which are now becoming real economic problems there are very worrying and wholly avoidable.
It will be up to Britain (through UKIP) but mainly !taly, F'rance, P'oland and S'pain (eventually) to change EU direction. The other member states should fall in once they realize what is going on and one hopes ignore the Siren calls of R'ussia.
Even though UK will not and should not remain in for Federalization, assisting Europe in that way as opposed to Cameron's destructive antics, will pay the UK large dividends in the future.
Vote UKIP :-D
Ed was right to pose with the owl and right to apologise for it afterwards
Can't find much to object with most of that except Martin Schulz?

MP: Immigration Numbers May Be Wrong by 250,000 since 2010, Roughly the Size of Luton
Tory Member of Parliament for Windsor Adam Afriyie has revealed that Britain's immigration figures may be off the mark by around 250,000 over the course of this parliament, due to margin of error allowances made by the Office for National Statistics.
Call me an old softy, but I'm beginning to admire Owen's prowess as a snake oil merchant and self publicist.

Lol, never a pleasant experience watching England In the World Cup, especially against S.American sides, they always get suckered. Does flapper Joe Hart ever get near a shot aimed at him?, wouldn't have him as goalkeeper in a conference league side< we always knew it would all end in tears and quickly.
kensal on the rise.
Ian Wright in the morning. Has Tony Blair done his bit for mankind yet?
His penis needs to be investigated, by Peter Mandelson.
The BBC are always off message when it comes to The Royal Charter, especially the bit about impartiality.
White gay man trumps black straight woman any day of the week!
Personally, I think that England should be stopped from entering competitions like this until they are good enough.
The cure for your rage is simple — junk the TV and never listen to BBC radio, except 3 sometimes, even though it's been dumbed down to fuckery, to compete with that Classic FM shite. Internet radio is your friend! There are some great French stations playing Afro music.
Schulz, only because he did come second in the Presidential race, and also has been quite vocal about the undermining of democracy that has been going on with the Spitzenkandidaten shenanigans.
Am not a fan of S&D or Schulz's specific politics, but as a politician he is effective, and has recently demonstrated that he puts democracy first and values the Union.
Also, he is not a pan-europa man: His ideas on Federalization are much more in tune with Briand's.
The only real objection that is legitimate about him is his German nationalism baggage. That would not be good right now, but if F'rance can de-polarize then looking ahead it could be a very good thing. Not for an entire term, but if Juncker has to step down early, as a replacement Schulz would preserve demos until the following election.
Am only looking at political realities: Personally would prefer Verhofstad more, but he was not the clear second, and I do not think he would be able to hold the Eastern and Central European States together if they got restless. That is something which Schulz could do, and may be future reason for an early Juncker exit.
Vote UKIP :-D
No he didn't because:

There will also be plenty of tutting and finger wagging from Dave.
I am from Oldham and I find that tweet on an official Socialist site deeply offensive and yes a little racist.
Hours have passed and nothing resembling an apology has been received.
I trust the Police are investigating the matter and have carried out a search of the Socialist offices and gone off with all their computers prior to trial and conviction.

How old are you and every four years you fall for it.
English flags adorning council houses all over the country are now flying at half mast or undergoing the ritual burning ,cats been kicked down the cellar steps.
Roy Hodgson and assorted failures involved in the England team are now pretending they performed well and that the exposure of their inadequacies is a misforture they are sad about but which is solely due to them coming up against a 'world class' opponent. Their bank balances say otherwise. None of them are suffering. None of them are patriots. None of them really worked or tried as hard as they should have.
England team over hyped, overpaid shower of rubbish
As the commentator said "if the Italians are kidnapped by boko haram, Uruguay are slaughtered by ISIS, and the other team are sent to Mars then maybe just maybe England will push through to join the ballboy team in the knockout stages! It will be at least some reward for our brave England lads"
No wonder the English football team is a laughing stock!
Russ!a didn't bother enforcing the agreement to get the CW out of Syr!a, and the UN can't do 'jack' because R'uss!a veto's even thoughts of resolutions.
Lots of CW (Nerve agents) were removed and have been dumped in the Med. (No country would agree to take them and dispose – at any price.)
Assad has only been using a little bit of chlorine lately – no mustard or nerve gas etc. Old School stuff.

Looks like Farage is 14 million euros to the better and we are down the tubes for this sum.
Nice work if you can get it.
It's all good, the further the upper echelons of the EU drift away in to socialist utopia of euro lala land the better. The more federalist the more anti-democratic the more bureaucratic the more disconnected they become from ordinary people the harder they fall. And I want them to fall and I want them to fall so hard they'll never get back up again.
They don't care. They are laughing all the way to the bank.
OMG like get with the program Roger that was like sooooo 2012 darling!
Misread !raq for Syr!a.
In !raq – the CW plants which have been captured will be inoperative: Even if the plant still works, what is there will not be usable.
Won't be much there, but given how ISIS operate one would not be surprised if they syphon compounds from old munitions and dump in a reservoir. That negates the assurances of 'no threat to security' that have been offered.
Vote UKIP :-D
The Current Government and Opposition – are as pathetic as the previous Government and Opposition – have you not worked out that they are in it 'together' to retain their status quo of Labour or tory to dupe the British Public as they have been for decades?
The point is to put them to their 'election' [check out the dictionary meaning] and if they do not reply in their personal handwriting then – it's open season on the traitors. Just put the letters in.
Red Top newspaper sport headlines: Roy Bodgeson?.
In all fairness the URGAY team had been on the Columbian marching powder. I mean just take a look at 'em, they were running around the pitch like a gang of smacked up crazy bastardos. Oh and that Suarez chap kept on sucking on that black bandage glove like his fucking life depended on it.
It's all very fishy.
Gentlemen – all those hidden agendas and the lack of any TRANSPARENCY – is doing for the EU.
The greatest laugh is at our current 3 stooge parties in the UK 'still' – 'living a big fat lie'. It's popcorn time.

Anyone else see the Scottish guy waving the Saltire with a tartan hat on and ginger wig attachment, the guy was in the middle of the Uruguay supporters laughing his bollocks off.
A performance measure our politicians might consider……
Sorry, should have made it a lot clearer the grumble was about Krauthammer & not RamZ. I'd watched the Krauthammer fox interview piece he linked to on my phone and fired off a quick rant after that.
So as 'F##k the LibLabCon' says, I probably earned the title of cu'nt for not doing that!
But the RamZ vid was great.
I think this owl business might just be the saving of Miliband. Labour should ditch the rose and adopt the wise owl symbol. Well done Mr G!
Tried finding out; still in the dark. Please clarify.
If you think the French FN have lost the plot take aloof at the last election results ,the EU might just implode because of them ,they are much better placed than UKIP because of proportional representation.
They have lost the plot with their allegiances and some of their professed values.
Their tone of politic has set them up for direct conflict with F'rance's militant left, who will likely seek to discredit them.
If they could straighten themselves out and enter EFD – with M5S and UKIP that would give the group a very powerful voice. FN's valid political objectives are in line with EFD's but their extreme aspects and possible ties to R'uss!a render them toxic all round.
Do not think that current FN reflects Mar!ne's true vision, or is an honest reflection of F'rance either.
Vote UKIP :-D
Sorry, you lost me. What does poverty have to do with being able to pass the necessary entrance exam for grammar schools? My family were poor as church mice in those days (my dad earned 8 quid a week as a caretaker and my mum worked in one of the local factories for a fiver a week), but I managed to scra*pe through the 11+ and got myself into the local grammar school. Many of my fellow pupils came from similar backgrounds. Thick chavs should by definition be excluded. No pass exam – no entry.
So Ed will henceforth be known as Bird Brain? Rather than Owl of the Remove?
Well said Fred , there is a difference between poverty and outright bone headed stupidity, stupidity is hereditary, poverty is not.
The cretinous baseball capped morons who infest every town and city in the country are totally unemployable ,the idea of them getting off their arses to even apply for a caretaker's job is laughable , most of them wouldn't know how to fill in an application form.
Working class children are having their education destroyed by the disruptive, vicious, underclass benefit brats ,now this idiot wants to impose this trash on the few remaining grammar schools.
Will he be still laughing when the English taxpayer no longer subsidise his miserable existence?
Yeah Dave stood up to EU,so why is he advocating adding Albania to the EU?
And it seems that Labour still can not tell an owl from an albatross.

Mad Men's Janie Bryant On Luxury, Magnolia Blossoms, and Liberace
The costume designer and soon-to-be reality star answers ELLE.com's questionnaire
By Yale Breslin
Janie Bryant, the costume designer for AMCs beloved small-screen hit, Mad Men, not only outfitted the star-studded cast in glamorous 1960s looks, but also worked alongside Banana Republic on three collections inspired by the series. Currently, she's developing a reality fashion competition show, titled Janie Bryants Hollywood, with E.J. Johnston and James Deutch, the co-creators of NBC's Fashion Star. And this time she will actually get in front of the cameras.
"Each week, the contestants have the challenge of producing a modern garment inspired by one of my favorite films, she explained. The show really is a statement on how the fashion and costume design worlds really are becoming much smaller.
Here, as we near the final season of Mad Men (early 2014), Bryant gives us her answers to our weekly questionnaire.

Heart disease is the #1 killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols - with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol - have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry.
The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease, including:
Get proven, evidence-based strategies from the experts with The Great Cholesterol Myth.
©2012 Jonny Bowden and Stephen Sinatra, M.D. (P)2013 Tantor
"Anyone skeptical of the notion that there is more to heart disease than 'cut your fat, take a statin drug' would be well served by [listening to] this book." (William Davis, M.D.)
"Easy to understand, helpful in practice"
While I mostly listen to fiction books I have a long standing interest in books about food and healthy living. I've read/listened to books from Pollan, Hyman, Taubes, Schlosser and more. This one is right up there with the best of them. It includes real research on both sides of the cholesterol/fat debate. In addition they do a good job explaining how some research has been "interpreted" which helps to frame the explanation of how we got to where we are when it comes to eating right.
This book isn't a story (exactly) but the authors did a great job making the science easy to grasp. They acknowledge the parts that can cause eyes to glaze over and summarize these concepts very accurately. Given the nature of this material they still did a good job keeping it entertaining without detracting from the quality of the book.
There were a few parts that did get a chuckle out of me and I think that speaks to how well the authors managed to deliver their message. Glycation, oxidization, metabolism and other such concepts are not innately entertaining to most people. This book kept my attention and didn't bore me. I found it very interesting and if I had never read another book about this subject I would have been astounded at how inaccurate the common perceptions of heart health are.
For most of my life I was trying to "eat healthy" and seemed to only gain more weight no matter how much I excercised or avoided "bad foods". I was a vegetarian for seven years and even that made me gain weight and upped my triglycerides. Thanks to this book and others like it I have gradually come around to realizing that sugar (in every processed form) is really the true "bad food". This book represents a solid explanation of how the common knowledge and dietary advice is contributing to "western diseases". I feel that books like this should be required reading for every physician that is in business to keep people well and not just sell them the newest prescriptions.
"Mixed Review, Proceed With Caution"
It's easier to successfully find fault than it is to find new correct solutions. So is the case with The Great Cholesterol Myth. While the authors appropriately acknowledge that there's some truth to the myth -- the data do show that cholesterol does matter for middle-aged white males with heart conditions -- the medical establishment has vastly over extrapolated from these findings to conclude that lowering cholesterol levels for huge portions of the population is a good thing -- and that any side-effects aren't worth paying attention to.
I have first-hand experience with this. A couple of years ago I developed a textbook case of walkthrough angina so obvious I could diagnose myself with a simple internet search, but I dutifully followed my GP's orders to go to the cardiologist and have multiple tests done, whereupon the cardiologist concluded "you have a textbook case of walkthrough angina." He went on to prescribe the "standard treatment" of beta blockers to "lower my high blood pressure" and statins to "lower my high cholesterol".
I first replied, "I don't have high blood pressure". The cardiologist then looks at my chart and reads the blood pressure readings that have been taken at the beginning of each of my visits. They're actually on the low side. Disregarding my response and his own assistant's work, he takes my blood pressure himself and concludes that I don't have high blood pressure and don't need the beta blockers.
I then say I don't have high cholesterol. He pulls those data too, then protests that they're several months old. I respond that I've never had high cholesterol. He says I should take statins anyway. I decline. He unhappily shrugs and indicates we're done.
Of course there was never a discussion about diet as a way to lower cholesterol.
I've read everything I can find on "walkthrough angina". It's uncommon, untreatable, and it has a small negative correlation with having a heart attack such that it is believed to be a protective mechanism. It's annoying, but benign.
Statins and beta blockers have side effects, yet there was a knee-jerk reaction to prescribe them. Perhaps that's because of the biggest side-effect of all: It makes money for cardiologists and pharmaceutical companies, a fact clearly pointed out by the authors.
Pointing out that the emperor has no clothes is the easy part. The hard part is what to do about heart conditions. The authors go on to cover some more respected and more speculative recommendations about diet and lifestyle, then they get deep into recommending supplements -- not coincidentally supplements that have author Dr. Sinatra's name on them, and for which the supporting evidence is spotty.
Maybe some of the work some of the time. I even bought one to try. But I'm skeptical, and you should be too.
Do your own research, get dissenting views, and don't just take the authors' word on everything here, especially as they gain financially from your doing so.
"Inflammation and sugar centric health advice"
For many people, a diet with an "inverted pyramid" focused on vegetables, fruits and whole grains is de rigueur. I'm not sure this book will push these people far from that "inverted pyramid". However, for certain classes of these healthy eaters, this book seems to have some well-documented items to think about. High triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol are one class of people the author singles out as potentially having to make dietary changes. Sugar is named as the driving factor behind the triglycerides. The key for the author is the inflammatory effects of weight and sugar on the body. The author cites multiple studies that describe high triglycerides and low HDL as a dangerous condition. His recipe is cut the sugar and preprocessed foods, monitor progress with a number of specific tests, and consider the potential of specific supplements. The author considers this condition more dangerous than high LDL cholesterol yet many doctors would view this type of patient with ambivalence all else being equal. If this describes you and your doctor is not concerned, you may want to read the book and consider making some changes. Another group of folks are folks who consume an imbalance of Omega 6s versus Omega 3 fats. Lots of folks with an under control LDL have some degree of ambivalence with regard to fats. This book tells those folks to pay more attention to the type of fats they consume and considers Omega6 versus Omega 3 to be pretty highly inflammatory. Again this class of person should read the book, read the citations, and think about taking action (which is spelled out in dietary recommendations, tests, and potential supplements).
For healthy eaters who try to manage their health by understanding the impact of diet on the body this book is highly recommended. This book will challenge many preconceptions you might have about the importance of cholesterol and will challenge you to think more deeply about the impact of sugar and inflammation on health. It will also recommend that you study different types of cholesterol than is customary right now. It will give you a list of specific tests that will help you gauge inflammation in your body. It will also recommend a list of supplements that may be effective depending upon your particular situation.
For unhealthy eaters, this book is also highly recommended as it puts a focus on sugar (and processed foods) not so much on fats and cholesterol. While the book is somewhat controversial in that it worries far less on the impact of cholesterol on health, for most folks I know who have unhealthy diets... sugar is their real problem. I believe a focus on sugar... reducing the dependence that many have on sugar is a surer first step to a healthy life than a focus on cholesterol reduction. Not a doctor, not an unhealthy eater... but I believe this book is a must read for these folks.
Born with earbuds.
"As Perfect As A Health Book Can Be"
Pure science, verifiable with references to primary, published, peer reviewed research.
The authors proved their points many different ways to drive their message home.
He personifies the authority of the authors.
Yes. There was so much useful information, you wanted it all right-away.
The authors missed an opportunity to directly address cholesterol's role in making heart disease worse if inflammatory factors are present. They also failed to mention cases where cholesterol does have a primary role in arterial sclerosis as in familial hypercholesterolemia. In addition, they probably should have addressed whether statins that traverse the blood-brain barrier have as large of a cognitive risk as those that don't. I have contacted the authors in hopes that they will address these issues in future additions.
On the very positive side, they minimize the use of anecdotal evidence to justify points, unlike many new age, pseudoscience books.
Some complementary topics to look up, not covered in detail in the book:
Heart-rate variability (HRV)
Sleep-apnea and cardiac health
Exercise & Insulin Resistance
"Essential, Life Saving, and Enhancing Information"
I wouldn't say this was as enjoyable as it was interesting, need to know information presented in an easy to understand manner. I found it interesting because it related directly to my problem. Refreshingly, it was truly evidence based medicine at its best because it included common sense and not simply a reiteration of the cholesterol hypotheses that I've come to realize is more myth dependent then anything else. This book deals with strategies for attaining and maintaining heart health. I need to know this information because I have lived by the health education books... eating mostly veggies, fruits, chicken, and salmon. Wheat and milk products did not agree with me so I pretty much stayed away from them. But my cholesterol and LP(a) were very high. This book provided me the information and insight into why. Other docs pushed it off on my genes but neither parent had the problems I have, and they both ate boatloads of steak, eggs, etc. I maintained their minimally processed food lifestyle with some variations. I avoided red meat; minimized dairy consuming some low or no fat varieties; consumed minimal wheat products and no sodas. Sadly, I did consume excessive amounts of sugar.
Sugar... because I've come to realize how seriously he's affected my life, in a bad way, and now I realize I'll have to leave him forever or suffer the consequences which could be heart ache or worse-- a heart attack. (The latter is true) For me, cutting down on sugar was the big take away message.All kidding aside, I've come to realize that sugar causes inflammation and for many reasons this is a very bad thing. In addition to learning about the profound, negative effects of sugar, the authors have presented many innovative strategies and supplements to help one improve their heart health. They explain why they work and how to best take advantage of them. Although I was familiar with most, I took notes during this section and will add a few to my repertoire of supplements.This book promotes a well rounded, minimally processed diet. It advocates avoiding sugar, breads, and cake-like products. It does embrace eating fresh fruits and vegetables as well as steel cut or real oatmeal, not the instant type which is processed. This book advocates eating grass fed beef and wlld caught Alaskan salmon as well as dairy products from grass fed livestock. Of course it supports maintaining a healthy weight and getting daily exercise. Again, the authors address the whys of each suggestion which I found quite compelling.
My favorite section of the book was the supplement section as it gave me direction as to what to do about my specific, less known, heart health concerns...LP(a).
The Great Cholesterol Myth, Tests for Determining the Real Culprits, and What You Can Do About Them
It would be great if this book could be made into a documentary and aired on Netflix.
This is a must read for anyone who wants to attain and maintain a healthy heart. It delves into causes for high cholesterol that are not widely known or understood i.e. sugar. This book focuses on what's really of concern when it comes to heart health threats i.e. high LP(a), fibrinogen, C reactive protein, triglyceride levels, and more. I couldn't take statins and had a very bad reaction to them i.e. dizziness, exhaustion, falling, and debilitating forgetfulness. I'm very lucky I did not break a hip as I fell daily and couldn't remember drive routes. From the statins, I suffered from leg cramps that developed into semi permanent muscle spasms that a massage therapist finally worked out. With the exception of the latter, all problems dissipated when I dropped the statins and took niacin instead. Yep, I got the flush but realized it was a small price to pay to be off of the statins.
This book addresses the effectiveness of niacin... thank you very much.. My condition has undoubtedly been exacerbated by statins and docs that ascribe to a one size fits all methodology. This one two punch, resulting in extreme distress, has taken it's toll. It's a wonder I haven't had a heart attack from it-- whatever happened to the axiom of, "do no harm"?
Thanks to integrative books like this, I never had a heart attack. In this book, Dr. Sinatra and Dr. Johnny do not push statins. They suggest a multifaceted approach and a plethora of other remedies, from herbs to supplements, and healthful life style habits, from exercise to meditation. I can relate to, appreciate, and embrace this strategy taking away that which applies and will work for me.I rarely listen to books twice.
This is one I will listen to at least twice.
"Eat a healthy diet and exercise"
I've always wondered why the medical profession keeps changing what they considered to be a "normal" cholesterol level. First, there was one number. Then there was "good" and "bad" cholesterol. And all the while not really knowing what is a normal cholesterol level, they have been prescribing medication to millions of people to lower cholesterol. This book provides a lot of background on how all this misinformation started. There is also a lot of science explaining heart functions, cholesterol, saturated fat, trans-fatty fat, etc. This is useful if you suspect you may be candidate for heart disease and really want to understand how all elements affect your body. I found it technical and dull after a while. The book claims the real causes of heart disease are inflammation, oxidation, sugar, and stress... again more technical information.
It took a long time before the authors got around to their advice, which is taking coenzeme Q10 (better known as CoQ10) for individuals taking statins or at risk of heart disease. Statins deplete CoQ10, which may lead to muscle pain, weakness, and fatigue. Unless you had a heart attack before (to justify the taking of medication), the preferred action is to lower inflammation with natural supplements, eat a better diet, drink alcohol in moderation, don't smoke, exercise, and manage your stress.
"I've recommended this to people I love..."
...who have been led down the wrong path by the medical establishment and big pharma. It's a great partner to "Why We Get Fat."
"Eye opener! Everyone should read it!"
Absolutely. It contains revolutionary information that everybody should know.
Very easy to understand language, powerful information
Impressive and scary talk about statins
Sugars are the real villains
I'll give everything a try
"Unexpectingly Brilliant"
I have to say, this was not all what I was expecting. I thought that this book would be boring. However, the writers, both of them ad the narrator made the book a very enjoyable read. The facts are interesting and it was written in a way that I;m sure everyone would understand without any problem. The theories mentioned in this book is well supported and well explained. The various personal stories of the authors also goes a great way making the book enjoyable.
The narrator does a fabulous job in reading too. He use an easy pace and a varying tone that helps to engage the reader.
Try it, it may be better than you think.
Tell us about yourself! An Audible member since 2006 and a voracious reader always.
I will listen to it again because of all the helpful information offered.
I don't usually read this type of book, but due to high cholesterol problem, I decided to delve into this one. It was written with down-to-earth explanations which my doctor had neither the time or desire to go over with me. It also gave me other alternatives to statin drugs, which I immediately put to use and seem to be working like a charm.
I enjoyed Wilson's performance very much as he has a clear and smooth voice. He was an excellent choice for this material.
I did....so interesting and easy to understand. I could not put it down.
Very grateful that this book was in the Audible Library.
"Essential information"
This book is an essential resource for anyone looking to improve their general health. It highlights some serious issues in the current dogma surrounding nutrition and healthy diets. As a society we now place too great an emphasis on avoiding evil cholesterol and this book attempts to challenge the thinking and Science behind that advice. A truly informative and eye-opening listen. It has seriously impacted upon the way I eat and lead my life... and definitely for the better!
"Great Book well put together"
Its a very easy book to follow, great advice well delivered even to a layman like myself
The chapter of supplements and preventative care

Shop It on myLucky: Pencil Skirts
I feel like I should keep my favorite pencil skirt in my suitcase instead of my closet—just lying flat against the roller board, waiting. It'd save me the trouble of packing it each and every time I travel, which I would never not do. I'd freak out without it.
That pencil skirt's my vacation wardrobe's most versatile weapon, since it looks good with so many tops: a slouchy white t-shirt, a crepe-y silk blouse, a kitschy cartoon print sweater. It's like a classic pair of jeans—except cooler, somehow. I'm obsessed. The only problem is that I sort of need another great pencil skirt, at least for variety's sake. (Or maybe so I can keep one in my suitcase and one in my closet. That'd be ideal, really.)

A little about our mini farm animals:
We take a lot of pride in our animals here at Paradise Valley Farms. We spend a lot of time with our animals. They are socialized from very young. Our animals are tested for parasites and are on a parasite control program. They also receive yearly boosters for tetanus and overeating. The baby goats and sheep are started with booster shots and given their first deworming before they leave here. We keep up with hoof care and grooming care.
Our herd of mini farm friends is a CLOSED herd.
If we do add a new farm friend we give the new animal proper quarantine so as not to take any chances of infecting our herd.

Troy Pillow Catalog Cover
Troy Pillow Sculpture Catalog $20
Click here to see video of recent Commission
Troy Pillow The sculptures of Troy Pillow are easily recognized by their elegance, simplicity and meticulous attention to detail. Pillow's sculpture is meant to interact with nature, not to overpower it. When I first met Pillow in 2002, he was living in California making mostly residential and garden kinetic sculpture. Coming from New Orleans where George Rickey was an artist-in-residence at Tulane University, I was spoiled by seeing Rickey's sculpture regularly at the Katz and Besthoff building and the New Orleans Museum of Art. Until I saw Pillow's work, I had found other kinetic sculpture to be generally clumsy and unable to react to nature in the way that I had come to enjoy. Pillow's sculpture excited me. They were fluid and responsive to their environment. I had always felt that for a work of art to ring true, it had to resonate with nature in some fundamental way. From the beginning, I knew that Pillow had the instincts, originality and skill set to make his mark, not to mention an astonishing work ethic. At the time he was working in a rented airplane hangar and was often there from early morning til late at night. Pillow left the Bay Area to move to Seattle. He wanted to grow and he was ready to move to larger works. The move proved to be a good one for him. Seattle Art Museum's Olympic Sculpture Park inspired a community that was turned on to sculpture and many builders and developers had come to include sculpture in their plans. He rented a building that had been an old gas station in Seattle and set up shop. In large scale work engineering becomes a necessary topic to insure the safety of the artwork as well as the people living around it. Many cities require that any sculpture over 8' has a complete stamped set of engineering calculations explaining the weights, seismic and wind load and attachment to the footing or building. Pillow took to these challenges like a fish to water. His earlier studies in architectural engineering are of great use to him. Working with computer programs that interface with architects, engineers, and developers creates a very straight forward approach to conveying the artist's ideas ensuring a successful project. Detail is important to Pillow. He strives for excellence in his workmanship and his sculpture is characterized by clean lines and seemingly invisible welding. He could be compared to Fletcher Benton in his insistence on flawless craftsmanship. He is ever mindful of the critical tension between heavy materials and the appearance of weightlessness. He understands his materials, whether working in steel, glass or bronze. Pillow loves to design projects to work with their specific environment. He is sensitive to issues of scale – too big and the sculpture will trump the overall harmony of the surroundings, too small and it will be lost. He favors work that interacts with place – its landscape and weather – in a way that enriches the viewer's experience of being where they are.

What to Look For
Although there are other options, including LEDs and halogen bulbs, when it comes to cost, availability, and savings, compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) still offer the best value for lighting. You can now find LEDs for around $20, while CFLs average from $2-$10.
Lumen output: To maximize energy savings, choose the product that provides the most lumens at the lowest wattage. Energy Star lists common lumen equivalencies for CFL and incandescent wattages.
- Triple-tube bulbs provide high light output in small spaces, ideal for desk and reading lamps.
- Flood lamp CFLs work well for recessed and track lighting.
- Globe shapes work well in bathrooms and above vanity mirrors where aesthetics are important.
- Torpedo-shaped candelabra bulbs fit nicely in small light fixtures such as sconces and designer lamps.
- Dome-shaped CFLs, similar in look to conventional incandescents, are a better fit for lamps whose shades clip onto the bulb.
Kelvins: A CFL's color is indicated by the Kelvin (K) temperature (listed on the package). Higher Kelvins, 5000K or 6000K, correspond with cooler, bluer colors, while lower Kelvins, 2700K or 3000K, give off a warm, cozy glow similar to incandescents. If the package doesn't list the Kelvin temperature, look for descriptive phrases like "warm white" and "soft white."
Energy Star rated: Energy Star CFLs use 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs.

He's cute. And he's stylish in a very british way... but I don't find him hot at all... I could become straight and marry Giada though...
He's cute. And he's stylish in a very british way... but I don't find him hot at all... I could become straight and marry Giada though...
am I the only one who thinks he's hot?(A) Anyone have pictures? of Jamie Oliver?
I used to think he was yummy, but for some reason that changed.
I remember wanting to watch 'The Naked Chef' thinking that it would be him cooking in the nude, but unfortunatly, it wasn't. He annoys me as well.
'And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be.'
Did I see where his studio were he filmed his cooking segment burned, I seen it on the news but really didn't pay that much attention.
he's cute, but i think dave lieberman is hotter
I used to think that Jamie was just plain gross. ...and I mean finger-in-throat gagging.
But, strangely enough, I found out what an awesome human being he is for all the charity he does and how he really is passionate about cooking and food... my opinion of him changed completely.
He's such a great guy that he turned hot. Weird, I know. I'd do him.
He was quite heavy in the last picture I saw of him.
"I'm chanting even as we speak, sweetie!"
Sorry but I can't stand the guy. Something about him makes me turn over whenever he appears on TV.
I LOVE him...he is so sexy and grungy in a non grungy kind of way!!! And his heavy accent is so sexy!
"I'm Beginning To Love Myself A Little More Everyday"
I love Jamie! I've watched every episode of every show he's done.
I really admired the school lunch program he managed to get going.
He stopped me from ever eating a chicken nugget again.
I think he's very cute but only as long as he keeps his mouth shut. That tongue thing he does when he speaks is very offputting. It just ruins any idea of sexiness for me. He really should have been taken to a speech therapist as a child.
I've always thought he was cute...not hot but cute. He has that bit of whimsy that is always interesting.
I love Jamie Oliver, so fucking hot. And his lips just make me fall in love more.
love him love him love him. his wife jules is one lucky woman.
i think he is adorably cute!
How in thee hell did i miss this thread????
I would give my life to meet him
if i was approached to give my life up just to meet him, i'd sign up!!!
i'd do him...........i always get hard watching his show
I think he is pretty cute but he is annoying.
Don't stop me now, don't need to catch my breath , I can go on and on and on. When the lights go down and there's no one left I can go on and on and on. Give it to me, yeah.
I think he's very cute too!! I think Tyler Florence is very cute too! I saw him on Momma's Boys last week. Tyler has put on some weight more recently. But they are both still doable. I'd like to see the Food Network get more hot guys on their network.
blech he just looks like the kind of guy with cheese under his foreskin
Marcos De Torre
He's geting fat. slowly.
i never liked his thick lips.
love men, adore men, never know it could be soo gooood
I like him, but he always bothered me a little bit because he did that naked chef show and never once took his clothes off or even at least cooked in an apron. Total false advertisement.
i love him for his food etc - i have all his books and a LOT of his merchandise
So much beauty in Life , shiny on the outside - empty on the inside. I get lost sometimes , blinded by the flashing lights - distractions always in my mind.
Id luv to play with Jamies bum cheeks!!
random thread.
who is jamie oliver, btw?
He's a cute English chef...chunky ass!!
Jamie was so cute ... before he got fat. The curse of being a chef.
Cute....but I hate him so much.
Watched food revolution a few times. An incredibly unlikable guy. He is so bitchy and demanding that he would take situations where he could actually make a difference, and through his attitude drive everyone away. Then he would act shocked and offended when at the end of the episode he was being ignored.
What a douche.
I still remember on the show. He took over a Burger joint (non chain fast food type) and tried to convince the owner that you could make a milkshake without milk or ice cream.... and the burgers had to be all natural (note natural =/= more health.....just means more expensive most of the time) and fancy and BS and cost $7 for the burger alone.
Instead of taking the food he found and making it healthier. He always insisted on totally replacing everything about it. Which is why he failed everywhere he went.
He's definitely past his Use-By date.
Pudgy, obnoxious, foul-mouthed.
He can't comb his hair or wash his face
I know that he went to a farm and slit open a lambs throat on one of the british tv shows. I think he is a total scum-bucket.
And he can shove his ideas about food UP HIS ASS too.......
He was at his cutest and best in The Naked Chef. After that programme, he lost his appeal and I didn't watch any of his other shows.
Funny you say that and yet Patras is still selling his food. In fact, they increased the size of the patty in the Revolution Burger.
It's funny just how badly he has been received over in America. I haven't seen any of the American shows so I don't know exactly how they've portrayed him but he always comes across quite well in the UK shows. Not my favourite chef to watch but he has good intentions (and I love his recipes). He has said he found the American chefs really difficult to work with and customers unwilling to change.
I find him cute. Boyfriend material rather than a quick fuck; he can make breakfast afterwards!
Ooh, I definitely agree! Total boyfriend material. So cute, and his recipes are kinda fun to make. I wouldn't mind a few naked fakes of The Naked Chef! Hee-hee!
Preferably him lying with healthy fruits and veggies around his body....
La Vie Boheme! No Day But TODAY.
Ya no....they aren't.
The idea that people need to eat more healthy are right. His opinions on how it should be done are moronic. He treats food like an all or nothing proposition....either its 100% organic, low fat, low sugar, healthiest option imaginable or bust....which isn't how the real world works.
I tuned into the show expecting to side with him 100% from what I had seen on ads for the show. His methods were designed to fail though....because failure makes hot TV.
Have you even seen his recipes? They're not the healthiest options imaginable. In fact, he's one of the most practical chefs on TV, as evidenced by the way he goes into people's homes and shows them how to cook using ingredients readily available at any grocery market. Your mentality is an example of why the food revolution never caught on and why there still is and will continue to be an obesity epidemic.
If Jamie has it wrong by shunning hi-fat, hi-sugar processed foods, and opting for healthier options and portion-control, how exactly do you propose obese people loose weight?
He thinks 100% grain-fed beef is healthier than processed burger with pink slime and other additives. He's wrong?
He thinks whole chicken is healthier than processed particle chicken. He's wrong?
He thinks fruit juice is healthier than pop? He's wrong? (Albeit not necessarily lower in sugar.)
He thinks plain milk is healthier than chocolate and strawberry-flavoured milk. He's wrong?
He thinks natural fruit flavouring is healthier than artificial flavouring. He's wrong?
He thinks baked is healthier than deep-fried. He's wrong?
He thinks whole-grain bread is healthier than white bread. He's wrong?
He thinks home-made is healthier than most fast food. He's wrong?
He thinks olive oil is healthier than hydro hydrogenated oils. He's wrong?
He thinks pizza isn't a vegetable. He's wrong?
All these form the basis for what he believes about food and it's supported by nearly every medical doctor and nutritionist out there.
He's fully supported by Dr. Oz. Is Oz wrong too? I know a morbidly obese family with type II diabetes who certainly think so. The only things colorful they're eat is that way because of artificial food coloring.
Sorry but I don't think you people know WTF you're talking about. All this ignorance about food and this reluctance to change is exactly why today's generation is the first in history expected to have a lower life expectancy than their parents.
Yeah, he was so cute in his Naked Chef days. He has put on a few lately. He's still pretty cute though.
Check out my Tumblr:
I can't speak to his recipes since I have only seen him in revolution.
However, what you describe is NOT what was on the show. My mentality has nothing to do with it. His douchebaggery on the show did....and yes he set himself up to fail for drama. I have no doubt whatsoever he was a massive douche intentionally. Doesn't sound like someone with people best interests at heart to me.
He was vaguely cute back in those days but right from the beginning I've had this urge to reach through the television and grab that annoying tongue of his.
Surely he could paint some anti-inflammatory drug over that giant tongue so his speech could be a little more intelligible.
OK, so you admit you know nothing about the kind of food he is encouraging. I bet you haven't even seen all the Revolution shows either, seen any of his interviews, or read anything on his website, otherwise you would have seen the compassionate, understanding, and down-to-earth side of him that reached out to people struggling with obesity. I suppose when he cried you think that was just intentional as well. Maybe it's you who is the douche.
He's a twat. Ruining British food. I had nothing against him until he decided that everything had to be healthy.
Give me the Two Fat Ladies any day.
Here's a real breakfast:
Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did. And like Michael Piemonte. And Joseph Wilcox.

VOCAL GROUP OF THE YEAR: Little Big Town
NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR: Hunter Hayes
VOCAL DUO OF THE YEAR: Thompson Square
SINGLE OF THE YEAR: "Pontoon" by Little Big Town
SONG OF THE YEAR: "Over You" by Miranda Lambert
ALBUM OF THE YEAR: Chief by Eric Church
MUSICAL EVENT OF THE YEAR: "Feel Like a Rock Star" by Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE YEAR: "Red Solo Cup" by Toby Keith
MUSICIAN OF THE YEAR: Mac McAnally
INDUCTEES FOR THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME: Garth Brooks, Connie Smith and Hargus Robbins
Didn't have time to check out the nominees? Check out Vox's CMA Awards ballot — and drinking game, if you dare.
The 2012 Country Music Association Awards took place Thursday night, hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, who inexplicably decided to bring a little Gangnam Style to the show.
"What's more country than South Korea?" asked Paisley. Hey, at least it was better than all his jokes about "motor boating," based on a lyric in Little Big Town's single, "Pontoon."
The first hour or so of the awards show had a lot of references to Hurricane Sandy. Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Eric Church started out the night with a tribute to New York and New Jersey.
If your weekend anthem has been "Red Solo Cup" by Toby Keith, you'll be happy to learn it was voted Music Video of the Year.
Kellie Pickler and Darius Rucker presented the song of the year award, but it was hard to focus on the nominees while trying to figure out what was going on with Pickler's hair. Are she and Miley just great friends? If you were distracted, too, the winner was "Over You" by Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton. Miranda cried through the whole acceptance speech, but it was still a major "awww" moment for country's cutest couple.
And on the heels of that cute relationship came Taylor Swift singing about another failed one of hers (I'm assuming that's what it was about). At a Parisian bistro with accordion in the background, apparently, because what's more all-American country than that? The reigning performer of the year was channeling inspiration from her new album, Red, with bright crimson lipstick and red accents on her Jenny Packham gown.
Little Big Town took home single of the year for "Pontoon." And performed it, clad a lot of leather for a song about a boat.
More awards were presented uneventfully until performances by Luke Bryan and Hunter Hayes. I'm pretty sure fangirls everywhere had to have their hearts restarted afterwards. And again, after he won New Artist of the Year.
Paisley unexpectedly took the stage with an acoustic version of "Empire State of Mind," which morphed into "Southern Comfort Zone." It was another tribute to New York and New Jersey hurricane victims. Coolest part: his guitar was painted with the New York skyline at sunset. And when he switched guitars, so was his shirt. Mad color-coordinating skills.
His co-host Carrie Underwood took center stage next with her recent single, "Blown Away." She was also in her seventh outfit of the night and a huge cloud of fog — it was rather reminiscent of Halloween.
Next up, gymnast Shawn Johnson presented the award for Vocal Group of the Year. With repeated thanks of Jesus, the winner was Little Big Town and we got to hear "Pontoon" for roughly the billionth time in one night. When Paisley cut them off, he assured the crowd that whatever Little Big Town was going to say, it probably ended with Jesus.
Next up was Jason Aldean with "Take a Little Ride." Kelly Clarkson and Vince Gill follow with "Don't Rush." Male Vocalist of the Year goes to Blake Shelton, for the third time.
Kenny Chesney performed next. Also, after two and a half hours of presenting awards, Carrie Underwood was on her ninth dress.
The trio of stars from ABC's Nashville (can you say "promo"?) presented Female Vocalist of the Year, and no surprises, it went to Miranda Lambert. Miranda gave a very humble and teary speech. If you missed the connection, this means that she won Female Vocalist of the Year, her husband Blake Shelton won Male Vocalist of the Year, and the duo together won Song of the Year. Like I said, country's cutest couple.
Next up, Lady Antebellum sang a tribute to Willie Nelson with "Always On My Mind." The camera kept switching to Nelson in the audience, who continued to show exactly zero facial expression. The song morphed into the Patsy Cline hit, "Crazy," which lead singer Hillary Scott absolutely nailed. Other vocalists participating in the Willie Nelson tribute included Blake Shelton, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and … Willie Nelson? Hey, why not sing for yourself when you're winning a Lifetime Achievement Award?
Finally, after hours of performances, the moment y'all were waiting for: could anyone oust the reigning champion, Taylor Swift, from her position as Entertainer of the Year? Of course Blake Shelton could. Thursday night was a great night to be Blake Shelton.
What do you think? Were you satisfied with the results? Did you correctly guess all the winners this year? Let us know in the comments below!
