Never saw the Jodie Sweetin or Melanie Brown shows somehow.

Sweetin is "Pants-Off Dance-Off" on FUSE TV I guess, and Melanie Brown was "The Singing Office" on TLC with Fatone.  I also have not seen either of these.

I only watched P-O D-O for the articles.

Then I suggest that you haven't been looking.

[/quote]I submit that people who use "neocon" do so in a derisive way, and not in the way that the Pedia article says, or to neutrally describe a person whose beliefs are those of a new conservatism. It's always "neocon bastards." I don't buy it.

/Like I give a damn what Wikipedia says anymore, anyway.

Well, you see, it's because they're generally bastards.

And Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity et al use "liberal" in a similarly derisive way.  It doesn't make the definition any less accurate, or any more difficult to understand.  Not liking the usage is one thing.  Claiming that it's irrelevant because nobody knows what it means is something else.

In Travis's defense, linking to Wikipedia was probably a poor decision on my part since the Wiki folks are going to have such an incredible hard-on over NPOV in an article like that so as to make the content pretty much worthless.

Kind of a lame-o topic, since over 95% of those who were game show hosts were celebrities of some sort already (radio, TV, movie, music, sports, etc,...)

What they need to do is a list of those who weren't celebrities before becoming a game show host.  Two that come to mind:

Michael Reilly (Monopoly)
The Inquizitor (Inquizition)

Others?

In that case, it depends on the real identity of The Inquizitor.

Those are solid examples. Others would largely depend on where you set the bar for celebrity. Would Bill Cullen have been considered a celebrity before Winner Take All?

Ok, I'll place myself in the Looney Bin with this response:

I would disagree that Beck is a NeoCon. According to my definition (not the TJW '90 definition) a NeoCon is a progressive Republican; someone along the lines of Theodore Roosevelt, who wants a large government but with the image of a free market. In addition, Neocons support "spreading Democracy" through force. In essence, Neocons and leftist Globalists are almost one in the same; Globalists want to control the world through a one world government, and Neocons want to control the world though the US government.

Now, Hannity and Limbaugh are definitely party "marks" (to use a wrestling term), and still support the progressive Republican agenda of GWB and John McLame simply because they had an R next to their name. Meanwhile, Beck in 2008 devoted entire episodes of his TV show interviewing Ron Paul (during the primary) and Bob Barr (Libertarian nominee). Even today. Beck has been supporting people voting for third party candidates and has many times said that both parties "stink on ice." And to clarify, he voted for Sarah Palin (but I know the reason why he had to) in 2008, but he knew that between Obama and McCain, we were getting either Progressive or Progressive-Lite.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get the back of my shirt chalked by Beck, and my tinfoil hart is ready.
