DUI & DDOS

TONY%20L

The complaints have poured in since we ran the video of Tony LaRussa's DUI stop. What do you think? From a news perspective, I believe it is valid. Tony has taken the blame, but he also lives a very public life. The unfortunate thing is you can't have it both ways, and I think Tony knows that. As I said when this happened earl...



Yes, Santa Claus, There is a Virginia

Santa Claus apparently has some pretty strong ties in St Louis. I ran into him and Mrs. Claus at Lambert Airport on Thanksgiving. I tell you what, he is the real deal.
He had on a pair of red Levi's and a red tee-shirt that read "I'm on my Way."

Well, that got everyone in the airport fired up and ready to mak...



TURKEYS, ETC.

turkey

In honor of Thanksgiving, here are some do's and don't's to keep in mind:

Do...remember what the day is all about.

Do...insist on some favorites! Turkey, sweet potato casserole, and pecan pie are my choices.

Do...offer up a toast at some point during the da...



Weekend Update

Virginia

I had a great time this weekend. My date ended up taking me to a new restaurant in Clayton. Araka is so cool. It has a Southern European theme and the design will make you think you are in New York City. The food was great and the company was too. ;)

Saturday was fun, too. I hung out with the Kelley family (my ...



TGIF

7:17 AM Fri, Nov 16, 2007 |
Virginia

Sometimes Fridays are like the day before a big vacation. It's been a long week and I can't wait to unwind and sleep.
I am not even watching the Alabama game. It's not on ESPN Game Plan and even't if it was, I wouldn't watch it. Too much stress after the last two losses.
I am looking forward to a secret date tonight. The date's not a surprise, I just don't know where we are going.
Saturday, I am meeting our new meteorologis...



GOT TURKEY?

Your friendly News 4 This Morning anchor team will be together again this Thanksgiving Day, hosting the Christmas in St. Louis Parade downtown. Last year was our debut, and this year is sure to be even better! We listened to a number of suggestions about parade coverage, including letting you hear a bit more from each marc...

Here's an email from a viewer.

"I noticed Virginia hypes up games that Alabama is planning but never talks about the results."
Saban Bowl
LSU - 1 Alabama -0

Geaux Tigers!"

Well, Rich, I am here to say that I am proud of Alabama. We hung in there and considering how we played, we did a pretty good job.
You have to remember that Les Miles was coaching someone else's players and that s...



NBC's Green Week Has Me Seeing Red

7:45 AM Wed, Nov 07, 2007 |
Virginia

I really don't care for programming on NBC these days but I do enjoy watching "The Biggest Loser" on Tuesday nights.

Last night, the contestants "went green." They worked out without electricity (they went jogging and lifted weights.) That was tolerable but when the trainers started giving me tips every two minutes like "Eat vegetarian once a week to save water," I began getting annoyed.

NBC seems to think that saturating their...



IS ANYBODY OUT THERE? CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?

10:13 AM Tue, Nov 06, 2007 |

Is there anyone home?
With apologies to Pink Floyd, there is ample evidence today that society as we know it may be in danger. Danger. DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

Fine Line between Love and Hate

7:20 AM Fri, Nov 02, 2007 |
Virginia

War has been declared in Sabanation or Tuscaloosa, Alabama. LSU and the Alabama Crimson Tide are tied for first in the SEC West. That's only a small part of why this game is THE game this weekend..
LSU hates Saban and the Bama Boys.

Pull-up Your Britches or Else!

I would love to know what you think about the mayor of Pine Lawn's desire for a city dress code. That's really what his proposed city ban of baggy pants is all about.

Don't get me wrong, I don't care to see mens' bums and their boxers hanging out for all to see. But I can thin...
