Sean Hannity from Fox’s Hannity’s America was on hand to interview Huntsman. When asked by Hannity why the former Utah Governor and Ambassador to China decided to enter the race;  Huntsman said, “Because I love my country. And I can’t stomach the thought that we are passing down to the next generation, a country that is less viable, less good, less competitive, less compassionate than the one we got. You have a choice then, you can either stand on the sidelines or you can do as Teddy Roosevelt used to preach, and you can get in the arena and do something about it.”

Can Big Brother Contestant Enzo Palumbo of Bayonne NJ Win The Game Now That He Has Made It To The Final Four?

By Joe Calamito

Big BrotherEnzo Palumbo A 32-year-old insurance adjuster from Bayonne, New Jersey just might have the Hudson County street smarts to stick around to the very end on CBS’s Big Brother and come back to Bayonne with the prize.

Never having watched CBS’s Big Brother in all the years it has been on the air, I became interested when my children told me that a guy they know well, and went to school with from Bayonne was a contestant on the show.  After watching several episodes I have become hooked. Maybe it’s this Palumbo guy he reminds me of all the guys I grew up with in downtown Jersey City and still know today. Jersey cool, laid back, popular, unruffled, low key, charismatic, astute, shrewd and street smart.  Charastertics I believe that can get him to the finish.

by Herb Fluke 

buddy-valastro-cake-bossNow with all due respect to Discovery Communications TLC”s parent company, the  creators of Cake Boss-Shouldn’t the first thing you do when you take a name for a business  is do a simple  search for that name before deciding to use that name ? Especially in the Internet age. Especially for a high budget reality show like Cake Boss.   It  seems  Discovery Communications didn’t think they had to or it wouldn’t matter,  and now a  Seatle software company: Masters Software Inc; has come foreward to say that they own the name Cake Boss having used it  two years before the show ever hit the airways  to market a business management software for professional cake bakers called CakeBoss.
