Bob Schimmel

 

The Stand-up Comedian Bob Schimmel disunited from his spouse Melissa in May 2009
giving her divorce. Bob Schimmel and his spouse
Melissa Schimmel brought in headlines on the media on
2nd May 2009. By the 8th of that month, Melissa lodged in the court for
divorce.

 

Today, Bob links with the Howard Stern
Show. He wrote the book “Cancer on $ HasSpace="True" Negative="False" NumberType="1" TCSC="0" w:st="on">5 a
Day”. Response on the Twitter is an all-around exhilaration with tweets stating
that Bob Schimmel is a hero as he has endured his
cancer disease and his spouse and even then bringing in his unique as well as
funny jokes.

 

On Wed’s Howard Stern Show, Howard and
Robin talked about lifetime after demise. Robin stated that there is something
that enlivens this physical thing which is actually something ageless and it
was not the awareness of Howard. It was the ‘lifeforce’
that does not disappear.

 

Bob Schimmel DOB
is 16th January 1950. He is an American stand-up comic whose content is
oftentimes X-rated as well as polemical. He is perhaps far-famed for his drollery
record albums as well as his appearances on The Howard Stern Show as well as on
HBO. Schimmel’s drollery material is nearly always
related to sex activity, whether he is talking about electronic computers or
animals or even about his daughter.

 

There are a couple of troubles for Bob Schimmel, of his own as well as professional, which he has
not cognized. Those are the cancer, heart attacks, losing his dream sitcom deal
and even losing his son. But he’s still been fit to come up with guileless
laughter discussing his most inner troubles.

OFFBEAT:
You never know who you’ll meet, or what you might learn, while in prison

Off
Beat with Philip Potempa

 

GAME ON – - Actor Sean Astin
is shown wearing a vintage letterman’s jacket from Notre Dame University on the
set of the popular 1993 movie "Rudy," directed by Indiana
claim-to-fame director David Anspaugh. (File Image

Tri-Star Pictures)

 

The opening scene of Universal Pictures’
film "Public Enemies" has Johnny Depp as
John Dillinger in black and white prison stripes breaking out of the Michigan
City Prison in 1933.

 

Yep, Dillinger was once housed in the same
prison where I teach courses for Purdue North Central, in addition to also
teaching at Westville
Correctional Center.

 

I realize that opening scene, which
includes the words Michigan City Penitentiary 1933, is really the old
Statesville Prison in Joliet
where the filming took place.

 

During the past decade I’ve been teaching
public speaking courses for Purdue at both prisons. It’s amazing some of the
interesting stories I’ve heard along the way. Some have been shared in this
column during the past five years and even a few other stories have been
published in my books.

 

On Fridays this spring semester, I teach a
morning class at Westville Correctional Center followed by a later morning
class at Michigan City State Prison’s Lakeside Facility, before I head in to
the newsroom for the remainder of the day.

 

While doing the class roll call on Friday,
student Donald Swank #168456, of South
Bend, who’s serving a seven-year sentence, asked me
about my role in "Public Enemies." (The film was screened by the
offender recreation department at the prison last month.)

 

Interestingly enough, he had his own
brush-with-movie-fame story to share with me.

 

In 1992, Columbia Tri-Star Studios persuaded
Notre Dame University
in South Bend
to host three months of on-location filming for the 1993 movie
"Rudy." The movie tells the story of Rudy Ruettiger
(who is now 62) played by Sean Astin and how this
college hopeful was able to live his dream to play Notre Dame football.

 

In addition to the scenes shot at Notre
Dame and sound stage scenes shot at Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo
Studios in Chicago, another part of w:st="on">Indiana also was
featured in "Rudy."

 

East
Chicago and Whiting were used
for scenes that showed Rudy’s "blue-collar" working family’s home and
interior industrial shots of steel mills, where Rudy’s father was employed.

 

As for Swank, who was living in w:st="on">South Bend during the time of filming, his mother-in-law,
Marie Cretes, worked as a hostess at a w:st="on">South Bend restaurant
called The Wheel Works and was always up on all the
"current buzz around town."

 

When she heard that the film’s production
company, Sunbeam Productions, was looking for a very particular make and model
of vintage car to use during the filming, she immediately thought of her
son-in-law.

 

"I have a 1956 Buick Century
four-door, that is sea foam green," Swank said.

 

"And that’s just about the type of car
they were looking for to use in one of the scenes to be shot in Whiting."

 

He contacted the production number and they
dispatched a photographer to take photographs of the car.

 

Those photographs, along with other photos
taken from other vintage car owners who expressed a similar interest to be
involved in the film project, were compiled into a portfolio and presented to
the real "Rudy" Ruettiger to review.

 

"They needed a car that looked exactly
like Rudy’s father’s car while he was growing up in that harbor area and mine
most matched the description," Swank said.

 

Arrangements were made and Swank’s car was
towed to Whiting to use in the scene. Swank was allowed to watch the November
afternoon filming and meet Ruettiger over donuts and
coffee. The prop and scenery department scattered some "plastic" snow
over the car for the scene, which can be clearly seen at the start of the
movie.

 

As for payment?

 

Swank was paid $50 and his car
"received an equal payment" of $50, for a grand total of $100.

 

He said his favorite memories of the
experience were enjoying the catered food services on the movie set, located in
a church basement in Whiting, and then eventually watching the film in theaters
with his 4-year-old daughter, Kara.

 

According to interviews I did as a young
reporter just out of college in 1992 covering the making of "Rudy," this
is a film that was almost never made.

 

"Tri-Star wasn’t the first to come to
us to ask about doing this movie," said the then-director of public
relations at Notre Dame, Dennis Moore.

 

"The university had rejected several
scripts before agreeing to this one. And we had some trepidation about this
too, at first."

 

Of course, one of the things that helped
sell the movie to the university was its Indiana
native director, David Anspaugh, who also directed
"Hoosiers" in 1986.

 

"This was the first feature film to be
made with the cooperation of Notre Dame since ‘Knute
Rockne, All American’ which was made in 1940 and starred Ronald Reagan as ‘the Gipper,’" Moore
said.

 

When the film was completed, Tri-Star
agreed to stage its world premiere in downtown w:st="on">South Bend at the old State Theater.

 

The studio wanted to recapture what had
been done earlier, when the premiere for "Knute
Rockne" was also held at the State Theater 50 years earlier.

 

The winners are . . .

 

Joining me Sunday at the opera presented at
Governors State
University will be Monique Ruiz, of
Schererville, Mary Ann Brunt, of Highland, Ralph
Vega, of Schererville, Dagmar Reay, of Hammond and
Ronald Paulsin, of w:st="on">Crown Point. Congrats to all of the winners,
who were chosen randomly by our online computer program as part of the online
promotion at nwi.com. See you Sunday!

Shon Coleman: Will Auburn Commit Switch
to Alabama or Miami? by Jon
Star  Jon StarContributor

 

Contributor Written on January 28, 2010  Shon Coleman, a top eight-ranked offensive
lineman in this year’s recruiting class, may be hedging on his commitment to Auburn.

 

Coleman, currently the top-ranked haul in
Auburn’s 2010 class, has been a soft verbal for the Tigers for three months,
but indications are his plans could change just days before National Signing
Day on Feb. 3.

 

Coleman, a 6′7″, 285-pound lineman
from Olive Branch, Mississippi, reportedly
visited Alabama on Wednesday and will hit the
road to Miami
this weekend. Both the Tide and the Hurricanes appear to be the top choices for
Coleman if he bolts from Auburn.

 

Already this week, Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino and members of his staff visited Coleman in his
hometown, and Coleman received staff members from Ole Miss.

 

Snatching Coleman away from Auburn would be a major
coup for the Hurricanes.  Coleman
has been an actively recruited SEC product, but a visit to Miami could be an 11th-hour switch.

 

Coleman’s commitment to Auburn could be sliding away in the closing
days of the recruiting process. Regardless of the success or how favorably he
views his trip to Miami,
it is expected that Coleman will wait until deadline day to make his final
decision.

Will
Shon Coleman Be a Tiger on National Signing Day? by Eric Lewis 
Eric LewisContributor

 

Contributor Written on January 27, 2010 on
a cool October weekend in 2009, two offensive lineman prospects sat in the
stands of Jordan-Hare stadium and discussed their future as college athletes.
One of them, Shon Coleman, had been a commitment for several
months. The other, Ed Christian, was still a prospect. At some point in the
conversation, Shon
Coleman and Ed Christian discussed their possibilities at Auburn and they both clearly realized that
playing time would come early and often for any offensive lineman wise enough
to jump on board with new head coach, Gene Chizik.
Two days after lineman Ed Christian first arrived on the Plains, he had made up
his mind. He decided that he would indeed join Shon Coleman and become an Auburn Tiger.

 

Since that conversation in the stands of
Jordan-Hare, Ed Christian has remained a solid commitment. Unfortunately, Shon Coleman has not. In my mind, talk of Shon Coleman wavering from Auburn first began when Chizik
landed JUCO lineman Roszell Gayden,
who stands 6′7″ and weighs approximately 315 pounds. Did Coleman feel
threatened by Roszell Gayden’s
commitment? Only Coleman knows that for sure. Hopefully, Shon
Coleman realizes that Auburn
has room for both. When the 2010 season begins, Auburn will return four of five starters on
the offensive line. Someone will fill the offensive tackle position that has
opened up and if Coleman wants to believe that he is that man, then he probably
he is. When the 2010 season comes to a close, Auburn
will lose four of five positions on the offensive line and this will bring huge
opportunity for the offensive lineman who chooses to sign with Auburn next week. In
football, no starting position is a guarantee and when two-a-day practices
begin in the summer of 2010, any one of the newcomers just might prove that
they belong in the starting lineup. That is what safety,
Daren Bates did this past year. Bates was merely a two star recruit who proved
to everyone that he should have been ranked much higher. As a freshman, he
earned a starting spot in the secondary and in the same manner,
I believe at least one of the incoming lineman will make a huge impact when the
2010 season unfolds.

 

There are several schools that would
provide Shon Coleman an opportunity to play early and
often; therefore, why should he remain a Tiger? First of all, he should want to
be part of this historical recruiting class that will undoubtedly be better
than Pat Dye’s class of 1984. By the way, that class included Tracy Rocker, who
is now the defensive line coach for the Auburn Tigers. Also, Shon Coleman should certainly want to play on Gus Malzhan’s offense. If it were not a successful offense,
ESPN’s number one running back, Michael Dyer and five star
quarterback Cam Newton would not want to join in on the fun. Offensive
lineman can join in on the fun too and believe me, that is
just what they are going to do in 2010 under Gus Malzhan.
Even though there is only one spot on the offensive line that is opening up for
the 2010 season, many of the incoming offensive lineman
will earn a lot of playing time. Coach Chizik wants
to prepare them for the future, and he always wants to use fresh legs in order
to wear down the strong defenses that Auburn will face in the SEC. Shon Coleman should want to be a part of that. I am quite
sure that Coach Nick Saban will paint a pretty
picture to Shon Coleman due to the fact that he does
not want him to play for the in-state rival. Shon
Coleman would not play early and often at Alabama. The Tide have
15 offensive lineman on their roster, which is exactly the reason that Nick Saban has not had to recruit any for this year’s class. If Shon Coleman gets caught up in the newly won National
Championship and the mystique of playing for Nick Saban,
and if he decides to sign with Alabama, he will be one of three five star
offensive tackles who have been recruited in the last three years, along with
four additional offensive tackles rated as four stars out of high school. There
is simply no room for Coleman to play early and often at Alabama. In fact, he might not start at
Tackle until his junior year. Maybe he would find playing time early and often
at Miami or Ole Miss, but after remaining a Tiger commitment for so long now,
why would he want to change and jeopardize his chances of making a big name for
himself on a very successful offense?

 

Shon Coleman came back to Auburn
for official visit over the weekend of January 15. Please allow me to quote Shon Coleman’s exact words to AuburnUndercover.com
regarding his commitment to Auburn:
“It’s 100-percent. I will sign with Auburn.”
Shon Coleman; are you 100 percent Auburn? Are you taking visits to other
schools just to have a little fun? Other recruits who are 100 percent are not
taking other visits at this time. Why are you, Shon
Coleman? When you have nothing else in life, a man has his pride and his word.
Opportunities as big as the one Shon Coleman has at Auburn do not come a man’s way very often. To be part of a top three
recruiting class, to be part of a very successful offense, and most
importantly, to be a member of the Auburn family are the top three reasons Shon Coleman should play college football on the Plains.
After all, he realized it during his conversation with Ed Christian.
Fortunately for Auburn, Ed Chrisitan
has continued to realize the reasons why Auburn
is the place to go at this time for an offensive lineman. Hopefully, Shon Coleman will continue to realize it as well.
Unfortunately, people come at these young men from all angles and hit them hard
in an attempt to get them to sway. When people sway from what they have truly
felt in their hearts, they usually end up with regrets. If Shon
Coleman felt strongly that he should sign with Auburn
and play for Coach Chizik, and if he does not allow
other temptations to cloud his judgement, he will
sign with Auburn.
If he does, he will enjoy a very successful college career before he moves on
to the NFL. Will Shon Coleman be an Auburn Tiger next
week? Only he knows that. Speaking for the entire Auburn
family, I speak to you, Shon Coleman, and I say, come
on board. We want you, we need you and we want to see you do great things in Orange and Blue.

Where
will top recruits land? One last look as Signing Day closes in

 

With National Signing Day less than a week
away, there are numerous committed and uncommitted four and five-star prospects
that have yet to make their final decisions.

 

For the first time in two years, it looks
like the nation’s No. 1 prospect will actually sign a Letter of Intent on
Signing Day. However, there are others who could extend the process.

 

Where will five-stars like Seantrel Henderson and Keenan Allen land?

 

Rivals.com national analyst Mike Farrell
takes a look at those in the Rivals250 that are still in play in his last
Weekly Whispers for the 2010 class.

 

• OL Seantrel Henderson – The nation’s top offensive lineman has
narrowed his choices to Ohio State, USC, Notre Dame, Florida and Miami. The
Buckeyes hold the edge here, and Notre Dame is emerging as a sleeper. Miami gets the final visit, but it would surprise many if
he ended up anyplace but the Midwest.

 

• DB Keenan
Allen – To stick with Alabama or join his brother, Zach Maynard, at Clemson —
or possibly Cal? A package deal to Clemson is gaining momentum, and we’ll see
if Allen and Maynard decide to take the long trip to Cal. Right now it appears family has the
edge over his current commitment, and the trip to Cal is on this weekend.

 

• DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa – Owa is supposed to make his decision by the weekend, but
likely won’t announce until Signing Day. Oregon
State has replaced Oregon
in his top three to go with UCLA and Nebraska.
Nebraska is
his personal favorite according to sources, but will he stay closer to home and
play for the Beavers? UCLA was once the leader but has faded. Nebraska seems to be the pick right now.

 

• WR Da’Rick Rogers – Will he follow his quarterback and friend
Nash Nance to Tennessee, or will he stick with his current commitment to
Georgia? Sources say that Rogers is inclined to
stick with Georgia.
However, this is another potential package deal that needs to be followed.
There are forces in play that would love to see Rogers
at Tennessee.

 

• RB Marcus Lattimore – It’s down to South Carolina and Auburn, with a
lot of loud confidence coming from the Tigers side of things. There is quiet
confidence in Columbia, S.C. Some think that Lattimore
has been a part of this Gamecock class for quite some time — which is why Steve
Spurrier hasn’t recruited another running back. The
Gamecocks are still thought to be the team to beat, but time will tell.

 

• DE Jackson Jeffcoat – Confidence is very high at Texas despite a final
official visit to Oklahoma. USC was thought to be the biggest threat before
Pete Carroll left for the NFL. With the Trojans out of the picture, everyone
expects Jeffcoat to end up at Texas.

 

• ATH Latwan Anderson – It is likely down to West Virginia, USC
or Ohio State. Anderson is committed to West Virginia, but he
might visit USC this weekend. He has labeled USC his dream school, but West Virginia has been
his favorite for a long time. This all depends on how things go in L.A. If he makes the
trip, everyone knows Lane Kiffin and his staff will
put on the full-court press.

 

• LB Jordan
Hicks – Hicks is expected to announce Friday between Texas, Florida and Ohio
State. The feeling here is that the Longhorns will come away with a big win. Florida is the biggest threat, but they fell off when
Charlie Strong went to Louisville.

 

 

• LB Christian
Jones – The Florida rumors are going strong, but if Jones ends up anyplace but
Florida State it will be a surprise.

 

• OL Shon Coleman – Coleman is committed to Auburn but looking
at other schools. He visited Arkansas, and has
trips scheduled to Alabama and Miami this week. Also,
Ole Miss can’t be counted out. Alabama
could be the biggest threat right now.

 

• WR Markeith Ambles – USC has emerged as the team to beat here.
A lot depends on where Ambles decides to visit this weekend, and if he decides
to delay things beyond Signing Day. LSU could be a threat if he visits there
this weekend. North Carolina and Tennessee are still in
the mix, but his silence since his USC visit speaks volumes. He looks like a
Trojan.

 

• DE Gabe King
– King was down to Oregon and Cal, but apparently it’s all Cal now — as it was
earlier in the process.

 

• DE J.R.
Ferguson – Even Ferguson doesn’t have a clue where he’s headed. The hunch here
is that he ends up playing in Florida at
either Florida State
or Miami. He
had a great visit to FSU last weekend, and Miami gets the last shot this weekend. LSU
can’t be counted out either, while Cal and Notre Dame trail.

 

• DE Corey
Lemonier – It’s FSU or Auburn for Lemonier with confidence high on both sides.
FSU is the guess here, but it’s simply a hunch based on early playing time.
This could obviously go either way.

 

• WR Ivan
McCartney – Rumor has it that West Virginia has a silent commitment from
McCartney, but Miami is still trying to pull him to their side. The Hurricanes
get the last shot with a visit this weekend, but WVU is the team to beat — and
has been for a long time.

 

• OL Chaz Green – Florida has the edge here, followed by USC and
Ohio State. Tennessee,
a lock for his services at one time, seems to be gone from the picture. The USC
visit this weekend will be a big one because Green was all set to play for Tennessee when Kiffin was the coach of the Vols. But will Green go that
far away? Florida
is the safest bet right now.

 

• ATH Trovon Reed – We put Reed on here simply because he took a
late visit to LSU, but he appears to be all Auburn.

 

• DT Jeffrey
Whitaker – Whitaker is down to Auburn, Georgia and Miami — with the Tigers
holding the edge. Auburn will be hard to beat
here, but Georgia
is making things tough. a lot depends on if Whitaker
takes his Miami
trip this weekend. Auburn
is the safe bet right now.

 

• ATH
Christian Green – It’s FSU and Georgia here, and it would be a stunner if he
went against all the ties he has to the Seminoles.

 

• OL Matt
James – Notre Dame has emerged as the leader here, especially if they take his
quarterback, Luke Massa. James once listed Ohio State
as his leader, but the Irish have made up all that ground.

 

• DT Ricky Heimuli – Washington gets the last shot at Heimuli, but many feel that this will come down to UCLA and
Utah in the end. Utah
has always been high on his list, so don’t be shocked if the Utes pull an upset here.

 

• WR Kadron Boone – Try to figure out Boone, I dare you. He is
committed to Texas Tech but has visited Louisville,
Georgia and West Virginia. He is
also scheduled to visit LSU this weekend. Your guess is as good as mine, but a
switch from Tech is likely because he committed there because of former coach
Mike Leach’s wide open offense.

 

• DB Dietrich
Riley – UCLA emerged as the leader for Riley once Carroll bolted for the NFL,
but keep an eye on USC here anyhow. They will likely get the final visit from
Riley, and you know they will make this a tough choice on him. It seems to be
down to those two barring a surprise.

 

• DB Nickell Robey – Robey is committed to Georgia, but rumors are becoming more
persistent that he could end up elsewhere. He was all set to flip to Tennessee before Kiffin left, and now he’ll visit USC this weekend.
Obviously distance could be a factor, so keep an eye on West
Virginia and South Florida here
as well. If things go well when Robey meets new Georgia
defensive backs coach Scott Lakatos, he could be a
Bulldog after all.

 

• TE Christian
Thomas – The previous staff at USC was lukewarm on Thomas for different
reasons, but the new staff will get the last crack at Thomas this weekend. Oregon State
was thought to be the team to beat, but it depends how this weekend goes.

 

• OL Arie Kouandjio – Alabama leads
over Cal with USC getting the last visit this weekend. Look for the Tide to
roll with this one by Signing Day barring something unforeseen.

 

• WR Vincent
Sanders – Ole Miss leads the way over Mississippi State and Florida State
heading into Signing Day. It would be a bit of a surprise if the Rebels lost
this one.

 

• DB Ahmad
Dixon – After changing his mind numerous times, Dixon remains a Baylor
commitment. However, USC could be working its way in here. The Trojans want Dixon as a linebacker.
With Dixon it’s
impossible to predict what he’ll do, so let’s say Baylor looks good here.

 

• LB Josh
Shirley – Shirley is one of the guys who could go beyond Signing Day if he’s
not ready to choose next week. Miami
gets the last visit, but the feeling here is that he will end up closer to home
and pick USC.

 

• QB Barry Brunetti – West Virginia has his commitment right now.
Until that changes, he’s a Mountaineer lean. But
there’s a 50/50 chance he could flip to Mississippi State
because he likes coach Dan Mullen and the situation
there that much.

 

• DT Mike
Thornton – Georgia, Georgia and more Georgia unless he pulls a shocker. Penn State
and Kentucky
are the other two finalists.

 

• LB Corey
Nelson – Nelson is committed to Texas A&M, but Oklahoma has moved in and
might have taken the lead. I’ve always thought A&M would hold onto him —
short of Texas
offering — so I’ll stick with that. In the end, the Sooners will make this
hard.

 

• DB Demar Dorsey – Dorsey visits USC this weekend, but I think
Florida State is the team with the best shot at swinging him away from Florida.
His visit last weekend to Tallahassee
was a very good one.

 

• OL Damien
Robinson – Ole Miss gets the last visit here for Robinson, and this is shaping
up as an in-state battle between the Rebels and Mississippi State. MSU appears
to have the edge heading into this weekend.

 

• ATH Anthony
Jefferson – The three finalists are UCLA, Oregon and Arizona. The feeling is
that the Bruins will pull this one out in the end and might already have a
silent commitment.

 

• ATH Hayes Pullard – USC is the leader here with Washington likely the
biggest threat. Pullard has been very quiet about
things, so anything could happen — including an upset by UCLA.

 

• RB Giovanni
Bernard – The one-time Notre Dame commitment will now choose between the Irish,
North Carolina and Oregon State sometime before Signing Day. The momentum is on
the side of the Tar Heels.

 

• LB Chris
McCain – McCain is committed to Oregon. However, Cal is the surefire leader for his
ex-teammate Gabe King. The Bears are also now very much in the mix for Keenan
Allen. A flip to the Bears isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

 

• ATH
Dominique Brown – Brown could wait until after Signing Day to decide, and it
appears it’s down to Cincinnati and Ohio State unless Louisville can sway him
at the last moment. You have to think Ohio State
wins this one.

 

• WR Brandon
Coleman – Coleman is down to Maryland and Rutgers with the Terps
now pulling ahead. Rutgers losing its wide receivers coach and now its
recruiting coordinator has swung this in Maryland’s
direction.

 

• ATH Delvin Jones – Jones is more focused on trying to get
eligible than recruiting. It seems likely that Tennessee, where he was committed before Kiffin left, will sign and place him. He could go beyond
Signing Day if he wants to take official visits, because without a qualifying
test score he hasn’t been able to take official visits.

 

• WR Adrian Coxson – Coxson is very hard to
read. The former Penn State commitment is down to Florida,
Georgia
and Notre Dame. All three want him badly, contrary to previous rumors. Best
guess is the SEC for Coxson, with Florida holding the slight edge.

 

• RB Rajaan Bennett – Bennett lists Tennessee, Kentucky and
Vanderbilt as his finalists with the Vols getting the
last chance this weekend. Tennessee
has a very good shot at stealing him away in the end. Kentucky
was thought to be the team to beat before Tennessee got involved.

 

• DB Darius
Robinson – Robinson is committed to Clemson but is likely to flip before
Signing Day. There is talk of Robinson making his decision before the weekend. Auburn has the edge over Georgia
Tech if he does flip.

 

• DT Byran Jones – Jones was a heavy lean to Auburn until
Arkansas began recruiting his friend and teammate Alan Turner. If Arkansas offers Turner,
then Jones will likely end up with the Razorbacks as a package deal. Otherwise,
the feeling is Auburn.

Don Hewitt on His Judaism

 

To work for 60 Minutes creator and
executive producer Don Hewitt, which I did for six
years as a producer, was to work alongside an inimitable character who seemed quintessentially Jewish. Don’s manic energy—his
hopping up and down about stories that grabbed him, his undisguised dismay at
stories that didn’t, the way he’d yell “Hi honey!” when he charged by you, or
repeat the same joke he’d heard to every person he encountered in the hallway,
the way he’d exhort you to get an interview or give you a wink when you “did
good”; his Brooklyn lilt, his histrionics, his dated fashion sense, his
unflashy routine—made him feel familial to me despite his eminence within CBS. he was a cheerleading but demanding Jewish uncle.

 

But in the strict sense, Don couldn’t have
been less of a Jew. he observed no holidays (one could
always find him at work on Yom Kippur), and he demonstrated zero emotional
connection to Jewish identity. “I’ve always felt more American than Jewish,” he
says, sitting behind his desk in his trademark camel turtleneck, snug tweed
blazer—handkerchief peeking from the pocket. “Let me put it this way: Am I
proud to be Jewish? not particularly Am I happy to be
Jewish? yes! Because I think somewhere somehow it gave
me the impetus to be ambitious. I’m proud of what I did at 60 Minutes, but I’m
not proud of being Jewish. I’m happy about it. I think being Jewish is nifty. and mostly I’m Jewish by temperament” what does he mean by
that? (I have my own ideas.) “I like Jewish food, I like Jewish humor, I like Jewish people. but I’m more
at home with nonbelieving anybody; including nonbelieving Jews. I’ve always taken to the nonbelievers”

 He grew up in new Rochelle, the
child of Frieda, a German Jew, and Ely, a Russian Jew. “I stayed home from
school Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, but at Christmas I got Christmas presents.
I was confirmed at a Reform temple called Temple Israel
mostly because that was the social thing to do in that town.”

 

He goes on: “My grandfather changed his
name from Hurwitz to Hewitt long before I was born. In fact, we used to kid
around in the family because they said my grandfather wanted to change his name
to Hurley, which is Irish. My aunt tells this great story of being at my
confirmation with all the kids’ names printed in the program, and overhearing
one woman say, ‘Donald Shepherd Hewitt? how did he get
in here?’”

 

Does he think he brings any of his Jewishness to his news judgment? “Yeah,
but not consciously. I think what I bring Jewish is called seckel [a Yiddishism for
"brains, savvy"]. Jews have got seckel. I
think that’s what I bring.”

 

Hewitt’s Jewish credentials were harshly
called into question when 60 Minutes did several stories in the seventies and
eighties that were perceived as overly sympathetic to the Arab point of view. there was a deluge of protest in 1975, for example, when
Mike Wallace reported that Syrian Jews weren’t as oppressed as had been
previously believed. The criticism from some in the Jewish community culminated
in Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, then president of the American Jewish Congress,
requesting a face-to-face meeting with Hewitt and Wallace in their CBS offices.
Hewitt says Hertzberg went after him subtly but personally. “The son of a
bitch,” Hewitt recalls, “he came over here to see me and he sat in my office
and he said, ‘Hewitt… Hewitt…; there’s got to be a Horowitz under there
somewhere.’” Hewitt smiles. “I said to myself, ‘You
son of a bitch; you come here for a peace meeting and you make trouble.’

 “Now the other
hysteria was when we did the Temple Mount massacre.” He’s referring to
Wallace’s 1990 story recounting the killing and wounding of Palestinians by
Israeli soldiers at Jerusalem’s sacred Temple Mount.
The Anti-Defamation League was up in arms, charging that the broadcast “failed
to meet acceptable journalistic standards” and that Wallace “gave the false
impression that Israel
is engaged in a deliberate coverup.” Then-CBS
president Larry Tisch, a prominent Jewish figure in new York
society, got involved. “Larry went ape about this story,” Hewitt says. “I was
portrayed as a self-hating Jew and I said to him, ‘You’ve never met a more
self-loving Jew in your life! I don’t hate myself! Secondly, if I did, it would
not be because I was Jewish.’” but the personal attacks clearly left their
mark. “I remembered that for a long time,” Hewitt says.

 

Another snub: “I went to a party once at
Werner LeRoy’s [the flamboyant restaurateur], and I
got attacked by Mort Zuckerman [real estate and publishing magnate] and Barbara
Walters, who said, ‘How could you do that story at this terrible time in
Israel’s history?’ and I said, ‘How about the stories we did at the terrible
time in America’s history in Vietnam? were you worried
about that?’ I was shocked. and I said, ‘I get accused
of being a self-hating Jew because I’m critical of Menachem
Begin. Nobody ever called me a self-hating American because I was critical of
Richard Nixon.’ There’s a thing about Jewishness….”
he trails off. “Right now the Jews are too big and too smart to cave in to this
feeling that we are victims in the Middle East.
They’re not really victims in the Middle East.”

 

Hewitt heralds the fact that Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League,
ultimately wrote him a letter apologizing for the ADL’s
outcry over the Temple
Mount story. “He said—I’m
just paraphrasing here—‘Now the verdict is in: it looks like it happened a lot
closer to the way you guys said it happened than the government said it
happened, and we owe you an apology and I invite you to use this letter any way
you want.’”

 

Hewitt is even prouder of another letter—one
that used to sit framed on his office bookshelf. “It’s wrapped up somewhere—I
can’t find it,” Hewitt apologizes as he hastily leafs through his memoir, Tell me a Story: Fifty Years and 60 Minutes in Television,
looking for the place where he quotes the letter, sent in honor of his
seventieth birthday. Hewitt reads part of it aloud, in a hushed tone. It’s
perhaps his most compelling piece of evidence that he wasn’t such a skimpy Jew
after all:“… as you know, your program is critically acclaimed throughout
the world and is held in high esteem by many of us in Israel. I would
also like to take this opportunity to express my personal gratitude to you for
dedicating one of your 60 Minutes segments— the tragic story of our Israeli Air
Force navigator, Ron Arad. Both as a Jew and a human being, I was touched by
your coverage of his plight. I am deeply grateful to you and 60 Minutes for all
your efforts. as you enter your 25th year at 60
Minutes, I wish you the best of luck and continued success in the future. Sincerely, Yitzhak Rabin; Prime Minister of Israel.”

 Hewitt reads the signature with solemnity.
“That letter is one of the proudest things I’ve got,” he says. “I think the
terrorist who did the most harm in this world—more than Al Qaeda—was the Jewish
terrorist who killed Rabin.”

 

More on Israel: “I always admired Israelis.
they were the gunslingers. they
were great! before it was politically incorrect to think about it that way, it
was like the cowboys and Indians—Israel were the cowboys and the Arabs were the
Indians and it was simplistic; I never knew anybody who rooted for the Indians.
I always thought the Israelis were arrogant as hell, but I admired them. but I never understood why the smartest people on earth
plunked themselves down in the most hostile place on earth. they
could have found a better place. they could have gone
to Madagascar
or something. but they say, ‘It’s the land that God
gave them.’ Who the heck knows what God gave anybody?! how
do they know that? I think it would be a big loss to civilization if Israel
disappeared. I just wish they’d get off all this jazz about ‘God gave us this
land’; God didn’t give you the land—you took the land and you made it great! and I love you for doing that, but don’t tell me that God
gave you this land and he doesn’t want anybody else here.

 “I’ll tell you
my favorite phone call: One time, a woman called after we aired a story on
Israel. and she said, ‘I’m getting sick and tired of
you people.’ I said, ‘Okay lady, what now?’ she said, ‘You’re all pro-Israel,
and you’re all a bunch of kikes.’ I said, ‘On your first point, you couldn’t be
more wrong; on your second point, you could be right.’ and I hung up on her.”

The
National Park Service’s Singing Park Ranger coming to Battle
Lake

 

On Friday, January 29 at 7:15 p.m., Charlie
Maguire and 4th graders from Battle
Lake School
will put on a concert entitled, “Between Fences: Gateways.” The
concert is sponsored by the Otter Tail County Historical Society and the
Minnesota Humanities Commission. The event is a community kick off welcoming
the Smithsonian Institutes exhibit Between Fences to Otter Tail County.

 

Maguire, is a singer songwriter and playwright. He has appeared as a regular
on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion, as well
as performing on Good Morning America, the CBS Evening News and more.

 

Maguire will spend the day at the Battle Lake
School teaching Mrs.
Andrea Bellig’s students a variety of folk music and
how to play them on the spoons and jaw harp. According to Charlie, “The
jaw harp is made of steel and wire, the same material as a fence. The end of
the plectrum is somewhat sharp, reminiscent of barbed wire. The spoons, be they wood or metal can represent the posts of a fence,
and the sound they make, of music like the sound of wood on a picket
fence.” The students will learn the song he has written especially for the
Between Fences exhibit as well as other songs appropriate to the theme.

Poverty
Rates Spiking in Chicago
Suburbs

 

U.S.
poverty is on the rise in a somewhat unlikely place — the suburbs, areas
people stereotypically associate with backyards, white-picket
fences and the American Dream, according to a report recently
released by the Brookings Institution.

 

According to the report, from 2000 to 2008,
the number of poor increased by 25 percent in the suburbs, almost five times
more than poverty rates in cities. As a result, there are now 1.5 million more
poor people living in the suburbs than in “primary” cities. Read the
full report — “The Suburbanization of Poverty: Trends in Metropolitan
America, 2000 to 2008″ — here (pdf).

 

Elizabeth Kneebone, a Brookings senior
research analyst and co-author of the report, had this to say in a statement:

 

 

Since the start of this decade, two
economic downturns have translated into significant increases in poverty across
the country, but not all communities have borne the brunt of these increases
equally. Suburbs have seen the greatest growth by far in the number of poor
residents, and this trend toward the ’suburbanization’ of poverty is only
likely to continue in the wake of the most recent recession….Though urban and
rural poverty remain an ongoing challenge, policymakers, service providers, and
other stakeholders must adapt their strategies to address the needs of a poor
population that is increasingly suburban. The shifting geography of American
poverty underscores the need for policies that foster balanced growth across
metropolitan regions and labor markets, and that link up affordable housing,
transit, workforce, and economic development strategies to help connect
low-income residents to job opportunities.

 

The report found that Midwestern metro
areas with shattered auto manufacturing plants, such as Grand
Rapids, Mich., and Youngstown, Ohio,
were hit the hardest.

 

The report defined the poverty line as a
family of four “living” on $21,834 a year — and according to the report, some
13.2 percent of Americans fell into that category by 2008.

 

Read Metro area profiles here (pdf). According to Chicago’s
metro profile, in 2008, 535,707 people were living in poverty in the suburbs –
a 2.1 increase from 2000. By comparison, poverty in primary cities in the same
region increased by 0.8 percent.

 

And then some more bad news:

 

“Based on increases in unemployment
throughout 2009, we project that the Chicago-Naperville–Joliet, IL-IN-WI metro
area may experience an increase in its poverty rate of approximately 2.3
percentage points.”

 

The Tribune covered the story in a front
page report. Also, as Progress Illinois points out, most of the ghostly factory
suburbs in Chicago’s southeast side, including Dolton, Ford Heights and Harvey
(pictured above from the train tracks), are struggling the most.

Walmart clown commercial

 

The Wal-Mart

We have watched the Walmart clown
commercial and it was funny. But many parents are reactng that the comercial was
not so good and they were geeting disturbed by Walmart clown commercial. Maybe they have colourphobia or some kind of fear of clowns. We are not
sure but its podssible that they may have aimed for
comic relief in their commercials. Some people are saying that it was good and
on the other side some are saying that it’s not really something that’s worth
remembering for its comic relief but rather the creepy look of the clown. The
commercial came on during the NFL playoffs on Sunday and now The Wal-Mart clown
commercial created quite a stir on Twitter. The commercial was a super creepy
commercial, which consists of a clown yelling at a bunch of children.

Walmart clown commercial

 

During the football game today, this Walmart commercial aired and it was hilarious. It’s
not at all celebrity, music or gossip related, but it is funny.

 

The dad gets ready for a birthday party and
wants to make all of the kids laugh. The mom is
talking to another mother about the money they saved at Walmart.
Meanwhile happy clown Dad is coming down the stairs to bring on the cheerful
festivities.

 

See what happens after the jump!

 

 

WalMart Clown Commercial: New Clown Ad Goes For Laughs

 

I thought that corporations were supposed
to save their funny commercials for the Super Bowl and not the Conference
Finals. A lot of football fans, however, had a good laugh at the new WalMart clown commercial. The WalMart
clown commercial features a dad dressing up as a clown to entertain kids at a childrens birthday party. Things go awry pretty quickly
and, not surprisingly, there are violent if not hilarious results.

 

What’s surprising about the WalMart Clown commercial is that the megacorp
signed off on it at all. The company has never been known for its sense of
humor, especially the kind of deadpan humor featured in the clown ad. The WalMart clown commercial might signal a change in direction
for the company.

Walmart Clown Commercial

 

A lot of people are now searching for the Walmart Clown Commercial video.  everyone wants
to watch this Walmart Clown Commercial Video. It was really a
funny commercial.

 

Why? It’s because the commercial wants to
surprise his kids. He wants to make some fun to the kids. He dressed in full
clown make-up and attire.

 

However, he accidentally stepped on what
appears to be a cast iron unicorn, which impales his foot. He then had a
deafening scream which terrifies the kids and sends them running away from the
“psycho clown”.

Cam Inman: Saints in heavenly state

 

NEW ORLEANS will win today.

 

As for the Saints, they might not. The
Minnesota Vikings definitely could post an upset inside the Superdome and win
the NFC’s berth to Super Bowl XLIV.

But you gotta
love that New Orleans
is hosting its first NFC Championship game. That eardrum-popping, dome-field
advantage could pay off with the franchise’s first Super Bowl trip.

Sure, love this scenario to symbolize the
region’s resiliency from Hurricane Katrina’s 2005 wrath.  

Also appreciate the overall aura coming out
of New Orleans,
the little city that could. Leading that renaissance is the Saints, a former
paper-bag laughingstock now playing the most exciting brand of football (see:
high scoring offense, turnover-forcing defense). 

Mesh the city with that team and it’s a
bona fide American success story. For this season, at least. 

No one knows what the future holds there or
in any of our other nearly lost cities. We don’t know what will come of Oakland or its
proprietors, including the Raiders, A’s or downtown shops. 

We know every town craves being the joyous
toast that New Orleans
will be this weekend. We know every sports fan craves the atmosphere that will
be found inside the Superdome.

 

Among those rooting for New
Orleans is former kicker Doug Brien, a De La Salle High and Cal product who spent
half his NFL career with the Saints from 1995-2000.

 

“It’s great for the city what the team
is doing this year,” Brien said by phone Thursday.

 

There may never have been a louder arena in
sports than when a refurbished Superdome opened its doors in 2006. A year
earlier, Katrina tore apart its roof, 30,000 residents scurried there for
shelter and a few dead bodies even floated up to those doors via the outside
floodwaters.

 

Horrific. 

 

And now: Terrific. 

New Orleans‘ festive atmosphere is
unparalleled, and because sports fans want entertainment: bingo, put this on
your sports’ bucket list in terms of future road trips. You can party, dine,
revel, get cultured and cheer.

 The Superdome holds a special place in the
hearts of Bay Area fans. Joe Montana threw five touchdown passes there in
leading the 1989 49ers to their fourth Super Bowl title, a 55-10 rout of the
Denver Broncos. The Raiders won a Super Bowl there, too — Jim Plunkett throwing
three touchdown passes in a 27-10 defeat of the
Philadelphia Eagles to cap the 1980 season.

 

But the Superdome was closed for business
in the 2005 season after Katrina struck on Aug. 29. The vagabond Saints went
3-13 and had to play “home” games in San Antonio, Texas; Baton Rouge,
La.; and East Rutherford, N.J.

 Today’s NFC final is precisely the dream
scenario the NFL envisioned when it stood behind New Orleans post-Katrina. Then-commissioner
Paul Tagliabue insisted “the Saints are Louisiana’s
team” and that every effort (including $15 million for the Superdome
makeover) would be made to keep them in New
Orleans. Saints owner Tom Benson would not be moving
them to Los Angeles or San Antonio.

 

Yes, the Oakland Coliseum and Candlestick Park need upgrading. But not in the
galling fashion the Superdome did.

 The Saints are 2-0
in home playoff games since moving back to the Superdome in
2006: divisional-round victories against Philadelphia
that season and last weekend against Arizona.
A win today would trump the atmosphere of two years ago when Louisiana State
won its second national title of the decade in that building.

 

“It’ll be loud there,” said
Brien, co-founder of Oakland-based Golden Bear Property Management, which
specializes in short sales and foreclosures. “I know the stadium. I know
the city. I’m excited for them, and they’re hot right now.”

Nine years ago, Brien kicked a field goal
and made all four extra points in the Saints’ first playoff win — a 31-28
wild-card victory over the St. Louis Rams at the Superdome. Fun side note:
Brien kicked for all four franchises in today’s conference finals, in between
debuting for the 49ers in 1994 and finishing with the Bears in 2005.

These Saints look worthy
of the franchise’s first Super Bowl trip. They
have a grade-A quarterback in Drew Brees, a wily
coach in Sean Payton and a strong supporting cast, highlighted by safety Darren
Sharper, all-purpose threat Reggie Bush and, of course, a vocal home crowd. 

In that crowd might be the guy who cleans
out abandoned homes in the Lower Ninth Ward, the gal who makes po’boy sandwiches at “Mother’s,” the Bourbon
Street bartender who serves up Abita beer or the swamp-tour operator who jumps
off his airboat to try catching an alligator — a move he affectionately calls
“Cajun football.”

 

That Superdome scene will make New Orleans a winner. Even if
the Saints lose.
