KAYU General Manager Jon Rand recently spoke to the FCC about relaxing unreasonable ownership restrictions for media outlets. You can read his speech and watch a video of him challenging Washington State Governor Chris Gregoire by following this link.

That's our opinion. What's yours?

Danny Bonaduce has done what every Survivor fan wishes they could do: he kicked Jonny Fairplay's butt.

If you watched Survivor: Pearl Islands, you'll recall that Jonny "Fairplay" won a reward competition by lying to other players. About his grandmother. Being dead. She wasn't dead, it was just a rotten trick he came up with. The other players threw the competition so that he could win and "find out" what happened to his grandmother.

From that point on, pretty much everyone has hated him; something that he seems to enjoy.

Besides being introduced to the real Jonny Fairplay, Survivor: Pearl Islands also introduced us to his signature move: The Monkey Hump. Jonny claims to have performed the Monkey Hump, "on pretty much every show" he's ever been on. The FOX Reality Really Awards were no exception.

Jonny was supposed to be presenting an award, but the audience was booing him. Danny came on stage and told him, "they're booing 'cause they hate you." He walked away to go offstage, but Jonny stopped him, jumped on him, and began Monkey Humping him. Danny tossed Jonny over his head, and Jonny landed on his face. Hard. He then got up and stormed offstage like a little girl, much to the audience's delight.

And people say reality television is dead.

Check out the video and decide for yourself, but Jonny claims he was giving Danny an innocent hug (he describes it as, "a nice thing"). Looks more like he's dry humping him, if you ask me. And you can't blame Danny for defending himself against sexual harassment, let alone sue him. Yes, Jonny is pressing charges.

At any rate, I'm glad someone finally managed to kick Jonny Fairplay's butt. And Danny, good for you. I would have done the exact same thing.

As if to further prove my point about it getting uncomfortably cold, over the weekend, I found my cat sleeping under the duvet on her own!

People always think it's weird that I get cold so early in the season, but I'm from Hawaii, so give me a break! Oh sure, I've lived in Spokane for about eight years, but look at the winters we've had in that time. Everyone says they've been inordinately mild.

Now that we're seeing highs in the mid- to high-sixties (we even had a couple of days last week in the high-fifties), I'm ready for jackets and gloves. I just broke out my leather jacket a few days ago, and I've put on my gloves to go to work the past couple of days (to be fair, I go to work around 5am, so it's still pretty darn cold then. I certainly don't need the gloves when I get off of work).

On Sunday Monday night, my wife and I replaced our Indian silk comforter with our goose down duvet. Now I'm nice and warm all night, but when I wake up, I don't want to get out of bed because the air in the bedroom is so cold!

Still, I do enjoy the winter months and I look forward to the snow every year. I don't know how to ski or snowboard, but I'm content to just play in the white stuff all day long. Give me a sled and a hill and I'll quite happily act half my age.

Most of the people I know who grew up around snow claim to hate it, but really, I suspect they just hate driving in it. What's your opinion on snow? Does the thought of it warm your heart or chill you to the bone?

That treacherous terror of the triage transports Tuesdays to total triumph! Yes, everyone's favorite snarky doctor is back, this time, sans crew. With both Wilson and Cuddy on his case about hiring new interns, House was determined to solve the case without assistance.

I won't ruin it for you in case you haven't watched it, but this is one episode I'm glad I caught!

What I really wanted to talk about was this whole, Foreman-Chase-Cameron thing. At the end of the previous season, all three of them quit. And while House does go the entire episode without a posse, it's clear that new ducklings will soon be in the roost.

Or will they?

I couldn't help but notice that the opening credits of the show still bear the names of Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison, and Jesse Spencer (are those two married yet?). Does that mean that House will get his original crew back? Is this whole, "fresh meat" thing just a ploy to see what will happen to the show's ratings if the writers break up the band?

All I know is what I saw in the "next time on" at the end of the show: House interviews a few dozen doctors and has visions of Foreman, Chase, and Cameron. Perhaps the biggest clue comes from a video in the features section of the House website. It's an interview with Epps, Morrison, and Spencer about their characters, and there's some very strong hinting that we haven't seen the last of Foreman, Chase, and Cameron.
