Ham and Legs/Rick Show #151
Rick Beatty returns for his second week sitting while Legs is practicing yoga.
Prop 8 was determined unconstitutional in the 9th Circuit of Appeals.
Karen Handel has resigned from SGK, perhaps they might recover from their debacle last week, time will tell. Ham had an interesting FB discussion with a talking point-er-person on another friend's page over the weekend regarding SGK and Planned Parenthood.
Romney supported SGK's decision...
The war on women's health care continues with affiliates of religious organizations in an uproar due to the Obama administration's insistence that birth control be covered for employees of hospitals, universities, etc that may be associated with religious organizations that are against birth control...ugh. There are exceptions for churches and other organizations, but their affiliates? Really?
Pete Hoekstra aired a rather ridiculous and racist ad against Debbie Stabenow during the Superbowl in Michigan...they aren't even trying to hide it now.
Rick Beatty is in this movie and they need help raising $$$, help if you can here.
Here's a pic of him from the movie:
And much more!
Hope you enjoy this week's installment!
Talk at you later.

Madonna's half-time show...
She, it, was curiously flat.
I detest the new single but the "Like A Prayer" finale worked but a person with her ego never wants to risk being upstaged.
And the game walked all over the Material Girl.
I get it, it's all about awareness, it's all about selling tickets. And from what I understand, if you're a fan, or enjoy productions by Rob Marshal, you liked this extravaganza, you'll wanna go to the show. But on a musical level...
It just wasn't about music.
Great performances are about that little something extra, something indefinable that touches your core. And that's what was missing here. There was no sense of majesty, no soulfulness, just a middle-aged performer trying too hard to impress.
But I'm not sure she was trying to impress us.
And when the stage was dismantled and the game resumed her performance was forgotten, not god-awful like the Black Eyed Peas, but not mind-blowingly fantastic like Prince.
Then again, as well as Mr. Nelson moves, he's all about the music. He can play, he can sing, video only made us aware of his greatness, it did not define it.
Furthermore, the whole half-time production seemed dated. From another era where excess was applauded, when life was fun and problems were pushed under the rug. Only now, our problems are front and center. And it's clear that Madonna, like the rest of the 1%, really wants nothing to do with us, she only wants our money. Sure, everyone still likes to party, but you got no impression that Madonna wanted you up on stage, celebrating with her. If anything, you felt if you ran up, you'd get kicked off.
Today's music is all about inclusiveness. The swell of public appreciation is what truly matters. And you won't get universal approval of Madonna's Super Bowl appearance, it was a niche event on the main stage. And this is dangerous. You only want to play for naysayers if you can convert them.
And Madonna did not. She failed miserably. She was stiff, and she obviously never rehearsed in her "costumes".
Back to her awful new single, what's up with the narcissism in the song, the endless repetition of her own name? Didn't that peak with Wang Chung back in the eighties?
And if you're gonna knock Lady Gaga, you don't follow it up with a song that screams Toni Basil.
And someone should tell Madge, "Never do someone else's act." The magic disappearance at the end smacked of nothing so much as Michael Jackson, another superstar who became so enamored of his fame that he lost touch with his audience.

Hey everyone! Loved the show. Rick is doing a wonderful job, and he is very entertaining. I do miss Legs. Too bad all 3 of you can't be on the show.
About Madonna, she does look good, however, Ham, your mom looks 100 times better. Saw her on Conan, and she looks 20 years younger than what she is. Please pass that on to her. I really do think that you should have Ms. Carol on the show. (HINT HINT) That would be a blast.
And for the record, I am an Episcopalian as well, and proud of it. Thank you and Rick for talking about us so favorably!
Love to all,
Margaret
