More dumb commercials and some college hoops.

I see where they finally burned that dopey insurance lady at the stake for being a witch. Good, it's about time. Her name escapes me, but every time I see that twit in an ad, the phrase "kiss my grits" comes to mind for some reason.

A pizza joint has adopted a theme that sounds, and looks a lot like something straight out of "war games". Things are blowing up, falling apart, destruction is rampant. Kind of like what was going on in my stomach the last time I ate one of their offerings. But credit where credit is due. Yours truly loves truth in advertising, even if it's somewhat veiled.

Look out for Coach K's Dukies when the tournament rolls around. After a couple early season losses, they're rounding back into form again and will be a tough out for anybody.

A tax agency is advertising they've been "working on the railroad, all the live long day". That's great. Nothing like keeping the trains running safely. Yet when it comes to somebody filling out my tax returns, methinks it would be preferable to engage a CPA over folks whose main jobs are pounding spikes and laying timbers for the rest of the year. Locomotives blow horns. Tax people should not.

Can #1 Kentucky run the table for an undefeated season? Maybe, but doubtful. The Wildcats have already had some close calls, and while Coach Calipari has assembled a phenomenal phalanx of phenoms, they remain just that. Young studs. How they will hold up under tournament pressure remains to be seen. Eventually, they're going to have to play a seasoned team that is not only talented, but tough and well-coached. Did I mention Duke?

Still can't figure out that dweeb hawking a TV dish setup over cable. He appears to have multiple clones that had a few genes scrambled in the duplication process. Still, every one of the knock-off versions appears to be much more interesting than the original. Talk about boring. This guy could make drying paint yawn. He's blander than sugar-free vanilla ice cream.

Love them or hate them -- there's little middle ground -- Geno Auriemma and his UConn Lady Huskies are back in full force. After an early season loss out west at Stanford (by 2 points -- in OT), Geno's Bambinos have improved immensely. How do we know this? A few different ways.

They went into then #2 Notre Dame three weeks later and beat them by 18. Since then, only one team had stayed within 30 points of the Lady Huskies.

They just blistered former #1 and unbeaten South Carolina to the tune of 87-62. A twenty five point blow-out of the #1 team is very impressive stuff . UConn will certainly be on top when the new rankings come out. And if they stay healthy, who's going to beat them?

The other way we know this is because the announcers during the UConn/SCar game said so. Talking heads would never get carried away and exaggerate anything. Would they?

Expressing gratitude is usually a good thing, unless it gets ridiculous. Which brings me to another dumb commercial.

I appreciate that. We appreciate you appreciating that. I appreciate you appreciating that I appreciate that. We appreciate that you appreciate that we appreciate that you appreciate that we appreciate that you appreciate that.....

Yikes. This is out of control. In the end, yours truly had no idea what product they were advertising. But I'd appreciate it if they'd stop showing such a moronic commerical.

Better yet, take that girl out and burn her at the stake like the "kiss my grits" floozy. Too many annoying witches on TV these days. I miss you Samantha. You were pretty cool.
