POLL -- Who the hell doesn't love Rachael Ray?

my guess? nobody.

i mean, what's not to love?

she's at least half Italian, she's funny, she's cute, she's playful...

and she obviously loves to cook (and eat).

"mmm...

yummo!"

mainly, i think it's the way she doesn't take herself too seriously.

i mean, i certainly can't see HER having a major meltdown over
nothing, like say, Martha Stewart might.

(though i'm sure Martha's prison stint loosened her up a bit -- and
taught her how to relax).

but even if Rachael DID lose her temper at some point (as most of us
eventually do in this absurd fucking miserable life), she'd be back to
top form after a quick plate of garlic-fried peppers or something.

whenever you watch her show, she has so much fun and cooks so great,
you can almost smell it, and taste it.

sure, that's a bit of a cliche thing to say, but in her case, it's no
less true for being so.

and while perhaps not cranking out gourmet quality, i'm sure her
fixin's are highly enjoyable.

My wife watches and cooks the things she shows. I watch if I
am in the room. I enjoy her personally.

see?

it's even something that both you and i can agree on.

maybe instead of an expensive and endless violent and escalating
military surge campaign, the "geniuses" at the helm should think about
airing Rachael's show in Bagdad, etc..

or something like that.

...

now, calm down, anger-bots.

no one's spitting on your well-ironed uniforms.

it's a just a harmless metaphor.

there's no need to raise your blood pressures over a far more sensible-
minded strategy.

just consider it utterly naive and go back to polishing your rifles.

um, if you'll catch your breath for a second and scroll up a few
lines, you'll notice that i didn't adress those comments to you, Burr,
i addressed those comments to the "ANGER-bots".

but... lookie here:

> Zero, What in the hell are you talking about, I have been
> out of the service 43 years. I did 3 years, six months &
> fifteen day, 35 seconds and I loved every minutes of it.

thank you for your service.

seriously.

we need to protect ourselves from invaders and whatnot and sometimes,
though extremely, force is necessary, so i thank you again for your
service.

but about that last line you wrote.

a small inquiry as to its meaning.

did you kill as many people as Ray wishes he did?

if not, do you deeply regret it as much as he does?

does it interfere with your quest for GLEE?

i would guess (and hope) that it doesn't.

...

anyway, getting back to the POLL:

here's cheers again to Rachael Ray!

(and the wonderful positive energy that she gives out).

Ok, I am new to the group. I know that with this post I run the risk
of making my first impression a contrary one, but here it goes:
I am one of few who does NOT love Rachael Ray. As a matter of fact,
the mere mention of her makes my sinuses itch.
And this impression of the every-woman's kitchen diva is by no fault
of her own.
In the infancy of her career I truly liked her. So perky, so human!
Like Katie Couric but without the annoying dichotomy of "I might look
like a pixie, but I'm serious as a train wreck" thing going on.
So, yes, I admit to once - it seems so long ago - being a fan of
Rachael Ray. And then she started stalking me.
I could still find her in her expected niche on the Food Network, but
she started popping up in other, more intrusive places. Her toothy
grin greeted me from the shelves at the grocery store. She was
lounging comfortably in a too-cute outfit on the cover of magazines at
Target. She was frozen in mid-stare from end caps promoting her
cookware line at Linens-And-Things. She engaged in mind numbingly
adorable conversations with toddlers on her own TV show.
Seriously, it seemed like she was everywhere that I was. And I began
to loathe her.
I suppose it's the human equivalent of getting sick on your favorite
food. Just seeing the formerly adored cuisine makes you a bit green.
Sorry, Rachael, I was force fed too many servings of you and you are
no longer "yum-o."

Well, my husband stopped loving her when he couldn't get her recipes to
work. So he went back to Daisy Fuentes. He loves her recipes, they work and
I don't think her very large bouncy boobies hurt her cause, either.

Ray who?

http://tinyurl.com/2kl7ow

Judy Tenuta at the Mission Inn hotel in Riverside, California.
Where I live. And no one told me that she was here.

I think that she should star in a sitcom about a rock star who
resembles and behaves like Madonna. Could be the next Seinfeld.

Yeah, I know. I shouldn't give ideas away.

My second choice would be Julia Louis-Dreyfus. If I had a second
choice, which I don't. It's like trying to replace Lucille Ball on
the Lucy Show.

My original point was that Judy Tenuta is more than half Italian.

She's also a goddess, which is something she has in common with
Madonna. Maybe someday scientists will name a dwarf planet after
her.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_(dwarf_planet)

Planetoid Judy Tenuta. That has a nice ring to it.

She's not an aloof goddess.
