Hawk 34

I'm sure Sting's family thought it was great for the storyline.

This is Vince McMahon's mind-set, we're talking about.

If he wanted to "show" TNA up, he would have kept the title on Edge, just to say "that's fine, we got the better one anyways". Vince only books for his satisfaction, I don't think he hates TNA enough, just yet.

You got your wish from the other day... I'm calling it right now... 30 Minute draw. Leading to the I Quit Match @ SNME.

and would time just right for the Orton/Batista program that WWE wanted to begin with. Rey gets an abbreviated Benoit reign, and Angle jobs again in the ME of WM.

Sometimes, simple direct booking is the best avenue to go with. I've been pushing for Benoit-Taker, especially at Mania for awhile now but I don't think it'll happen. WWE is probably too scared to have a good match like that at Mania. Benoit/JBL and UT/Henry, instead. Not as bad as it could be but I'd still take Benoit/Taker. You got six weeks to work with, Benoit can drop the title in 2 weeks via something screwy and put the title on JBL there, and they can do JBL/Finlay for the US Title. Who knows, cares. It's not to late for Benoit/Taker.

I agree with Melissa and Stevie actually. Stevie really looked dumb at the end of the show with the winking. I still think Heather is doomed because they already have two skinny and shitty singers, much hotter then her. Really, it's between Katherine, Paris and Mandisa.

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, spraying the fellow hunter in the face and chest with shotgun pellets. ADVERTISEMENT Harry Whittington, a millionaire attorney from Austin, was "alert and doing fine" in a Corpus Christi hospital Sunday after he was shot by Cheney on a ranch in south Texas, said Katharine Armstrong, the property's owner. He was in stable condition Sunday, said Yvonne Wheeler, spokeswoman for the Christus Spohn Health System in Corpus Christi. Armstrong in an interview with The Associated Press said Whittington, 78, was mostly injured on his right side, with the pellets hitting his cheek, neck and chest during the incident which occurred late afternoon on Saturday. She said emergency personnel traveling with Cheney tended to Whittington until the ambulance arrived. Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president met with Whittington and his wife at the hospital on Sunday. Cheney "was pleased to see that he's doing fine and in good spirits," she said. The shooting was first reported by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. The vice president's office did not disclose the accident until the day after it happened. Armstrong said she was watching from a car while Cheney, Whittington and another hunter got out of the vehicle to shoot at a covey of quail. Whittington shot a bird and went to look for it in the tall grass, while Cheney and the third hunter walked to another spot and discovered a second covey. Whittington "came up from behind the vice president and the other hunter and didn't signal them or indicate to them or announce himself," Armstrong said. "The vice president didn't see him," she continued. "The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by god, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good." Whittington has been a private practice attorney in Austin since 1950 and has long been active in Texas Republican politics. He's been appointed to several state boards, including when then-Gov. George W. Bush named him to the Texas Funeral Service Commission. McBride did not comment about why the vice president's office did not tell reporters about the accident until the next day. She referred the question to Armstrong, who could not be reached again Sunday evening. Armstrong, owner of the Armstrong Ranch where the accident occurred, said Whittington was bleeding and Cheney was very apologetic. "It broke the skin," she said of the shotgun pellets. "It knocked him silly. But he was fine. He was talking. His eyes were open. It didn't get in his eyes or anything like that." "Fortunately, the vice president has got a lot of medical people around him and so they were right there and probably more cautious than we would have been," she said. "The vice president has got an ambulance on call, so the ambulance came." Cheney is an avid hunter who makes annual hunting trips to South Dakota to hunt pheasants. He also travels frequently to Arkansas to hunt ducks. Armstrong said Cheney is a longtime friend who comes to the ranch to hunt about once a year and is "a very safe sportsman." She said Whittington is a regular, too, but she thought it was the first time the two men hunted together. "This is something that happens from time to time. You now, I've been peppered pretty well myself," said Armstrong. The 50,000-acre Armstrong ranch has been in the influential south Texas family since the turn of the last century. Katharine is the daughter of Tobin Armstrong, a politically connected rancher who has been a guest at the White House and spent 48 years as director of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. He died in October. Cheney was among the dignitaries who attended his funeral.

Brenna, smartly is slutting it up at the end here.

Survival Chances Worst to Best 1. Heather 2. Becky 3. Stevie 4. Melissa 5. Kinnik 6. Ayla 7. Brena 8. Lisa 9. Mandisa 10. Kellie 11. Paris 12. Katherine

On going thoughts, night one part XI Katherine ----------- Wow. I am in love with this girl. She's very pretty but not too glamorous like Kellie and Becky, like lushus said, the kind of girl you just want to be with. I like this, she's good. That was a very hot pose at the end, I think she really stood out. She really, REALLY owned this. She can sing, has this sexy aura and this innocent "I gotta marry that girl" quality. This is HER's to lose

On going thoughts night one: part X Kinnik Sky ------- Okay, that is a stripper name. That gets points in my book. Well, she hit the high notes...that's always popular with voters.

On going thoughts night one: part IX Lisa ----- First off, she actually looks like a singer. Not a model, but a singer. Guess what, she can actually perform, but maybe im saying that because of who she has followed. She is ahead of most of tonight's talent. I still say Kellie, Mandisa and Paris are above her on the survival chart.

I love Simon. He speaks the truth.

On going thoughts night one part... VIII(?) Melissa -------------------------- Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. She's in. Whatta phony flat personality The performence? It wasn't horrible but it was far from good. Which aside from 2 girls, is the theme for the night.

Simon and Randy, probably schemed to make sure the girls were shitty this year so that a boy wins this time and they get more face time when they trash a girl for sucking.

I love Seacrest cracking on Simon for his wardrobe, when he wears that.

Heather ---------- As I said eariler tonight, I swear I know this girl. Every HS had a pretty blonde girl named Heather. I still think Kellie is cuter and more personable and about equal on talent. But the flat, dull air-head blonde personality drops her right behind Stevie on survival chances edit: Put Heather first in line for the cut. At least Stevie had the cute pout.

You see, AI needs Brena to stay around. She's great at this 'bitchy' role. Stevie is dead in the water, unless someone does worse.

After the first 1/2 of the girls, here is my estimate of chance of survival through the voting. Worst to Best 1. Stevie 2. Brena 3. Becky 4. Mandisa 5. Paris 6. Kellie (The looks and personality sets her above the more vocally talented Mandisa/Paris).

On going thoughts night one: part VI Brenna --------- I love the personality, I usually don't like it but she makes it work. She's very attractive with the best body so far... Every season needs a bitch or asshole. She will fill that role up. Again, another cute girl who blows. I guess Randy and Simon, really did rig it so a guy wins this time.

On going thoughts night one: part V Stevie -------- She's cute but not glamorous like Kellie and Becky were. Rudo, Rory? I'm not seeing it. Tall, skinny, pale...yeah but other then that? I do like her pout, I love a cute pout. She seemed kind of flat, like the crowd just didn't get into it and Simon, well...damn. That was mean. I say she's bumping Becky off the hot seat right now. Becky is saved by her looks, Stevie looks like she has a short shelf life. Okay, enough short/tall gags from Seacrest.

It works with Shelley, because he is already established as a creepy, sleazebag with a camera who already got in the habit of spying on Jackie. Getting the stalking bug to stalk Sting, was logical. DDP, suddenly was a stalker for no reason.

Paris looks 12 and that kid there, looked...maybe 7. You know they will hook up.

On going thoughts night one: part iv Paris --------- Good 'tude, solid voice, not particularly easy on the eyes but really stand-out performence compared to the others. She was getting alot of hype before the show and she stepped up tonight. I will agree with the others, she is a little hyper and that'll get annoying quick, if it hasn't already.
