While channel surfing, I heard the end of an infomercial where Vince, the announcer, warned viewers to beware of Shamwow imitators. Why? What harm can a fake cellulose towel do to me? I mean I’m a pretty tough guy. I don’t think it can hurt me and I’m not afraid. In fact, I’d be more afraid of an imitation Shamu.

Have you read about Alex Rodriguez and Madonna? They were recently reported to be in Mexico together, and then looking for a house in Florida. Who knows if these reports are correct? If they are, Madonna is in very good shape for a woman of her age and many people enjoy her singing. But still, doesn’t Alex Rodriguez know that she isn’t particularly pretty, she’s almost old enough to be his mother and he’s Alex Rodriguez?

I’d like to know whether Bernie Madoff started out to run a Ponzi scheme, or whether he switched to that when his investments went to hell in a hand basket. By the way, Charles Ponzi didn’t invent the Ponzi scheme. His were just the best known ones until now.

Wouldn’t a “shamwow” be an imitation by definition?
Wouldn’t you be less afraid of shampoo than the real thing?
How do you know Bernie does not have much to show for it? Maybe he Madoff with the money.
