GOOD LORD, KYLIE MINOGUE IS AMAZING
Kylie doesn't get the type of run she deserves. I don't think I've had her on the blog since the legendary lingerie commerical she made last year. Still going strong at 40, and a breast cancer survivor, Kylie has a new calendar, which if you're looking for a Sweetest Day gift for me, would look great in the office.

GOOD LORD, PETA IS AMAZING
PETA has asked Philadelphia Phillie Shane Victorino to stop eating SPAM. (OK, I'd tell Shane to stop eating that crap too, but not because I'm concerned about pig farms) Fewer organizations empitomize busybody behavior like PETA does. They do, however, sometimes give us something worthwhile like this photoshoot from Tamara Eccelstone.

We'll be there from 6:00 until 8:00 with free Ohio Lottery KENO plays, you can win $100 cash prize cards, and you can win one of three grand prizes of $5,000. Plus, we'll drink beer and eat wings. It'll be large. Be there.

GARRETT'S BIG BARACK ADVENTURE
In our continued effort to bring you the latest on the Presidential Election, we dispatched Garrett the Intern to the Barack Obama rally at Ault Park. His mission...a) Get Barack Obama on the air....b) Get our signs on TV.....c) Find interesting people to talk to on the air.....d) Hook up with the kind of girls you normally (I guess) see at a Barack Obama rally, kinda like the one you see here. He accomplished none of these objectives. He actually accomplished very little. Here's proof.
Look for Garrett and his sign at the big Sarah Palin rally in West Chester on Friday.

EVER WONDER IF THE PRODUCERS OF KIDS' SHOWS ARE PERVS?
They are.

QUALITY VETERAN OF THE WEEK: ASHLEY JUDD
Some hate UK basketball, and took delight in their struggles last season. Not me. When the Big Blue is good, we see more Ashley Judd. Regardless of your allegiance, that ain't all bad. UC and Xavier need some version of Ashley Judd. And no, Nick Lachey ain't it. Ashley is easily the coolest and best looking celeb sports fan, plus she stood in the rain during the Indy 500 one year, temporarily making that race relevant again. Anyway, Ashley just became a Quality Vet this year, turning 40 in April. That means most of these pictures were taken while she was in her thirties. I doubt you'll let such a technicality ruin it for you.

CHRIS HENRY HAS SOMETHING TO ASPIRE TO AFTER FOOTBALL
Henry Earl is a man from Lexington, who's been arrested 1,300 times. The man is the Cal Ripken of lawlessness. A judge in Lexington has given him an ultimatum:
Accept probation and clean himself up in treatment at the Hope Center in Lexington - a four- to six-month, in-patient rehabilitation program - or spend the next 90 days in jail, the maximum sentence for alcohol intoxication.
Yeah, that'll show him.
Actually, you get to 1,300 arrests, why stop? Go for an even two grand at least. I actually kinda respect this guys determination:
He told the Lexington Herald-Leader in 2005 that he has been homeless since 1969, when he lost his last job, busing tables and washing dishes, after showing up for work drunk.
Since then, he told the paper, he's never seriously tried to quit drinking, and probably never will.
"I'd like to slow down," he said. "Do I want to stop? Not really."
You can track his current status. Or give him a hand.

MAN, TENNIS CHICKS ARE KINDA UGLY
I saw this on Trent's blog. It's a list of the 50 Hottest Women in Tennis. It's completely worthless. First off, any list of hot women that includes Lindsay Davenport is just fraudulent.
Second, there just aren't 50 hot chicks who are playing or have played professional tennis. Peruse the list. Find 25. You can't. And they go it all wrong anyway, Ana Ivanovic should top the list.

INTRODUCING ANGELIQUE BOYER
Angelique is a Mexican actress. More important, she's featured prominently today on my favorite website.

WEDNESDAY STUFF
-The mayor is imploring people to stay behind the Bengals. This is incredibly smart and exactly the type of leadership I expect.
-The annual debate on whether high school football should have a mercy rule. As soon as life has a mercy rule, high school football should have a mercy rule.
-Popular Mechanics has the list of the 100 skills every man should know.
-This guy just moved up the Bengals' draft board.
-What if we made sports figures do this?
