Hello, everybody. As always, lots of ground to dig up, so let's get on with it!

First up...WHEN WILL HILLARY THROW IN THE TOWEL?!?!?!? She may have clinched the West Virginia primary last week, but with Oregon and Kentucky this week she has lost lots of steam as Barack Obama still leads the delegation count with 1,904 to Hillary's 1,717. Obama's now 221 away from the target number of 2,025 and it looks like he may be hitting it. But of course, anything could happen between now and August, when the superdelegates convene in Denver.

Oh yeah, in case you're wondering...I decided to throw in the towel as far as Elton John is concerned. I was hoping for any good seats left for his Fairbanks show on the 29th, but in the words of Jim McKay, they're all gone. But I'm sure a much better act than Elton will play the Carlson Center pretty soon and that this time, I'll have the golden ticket...Kelly Clarkson or Leona Lewis, are you reading this? By the way, the second Anchorage show sold out in over an hour.

Now...We make all kinds of blow-ups from time to time, whether it's financial (and that is the case for most of us), physical, or mental. But if you happen to make a verbal blow-up and the cameras are unexpectedly on you...you know the whole world will take notice! And for two television personalities last week, that was the case.

Sue Simmons, a longtime anchor at New York's WNBC, accidentally dropped the F-bomb live on the air while doing a bumper for the 11:00 news. Moments after realizing her mistake, she apologized for the gaffe.

But perhaps one blow-up that made more news than Simmons' belonged to Bill O'Reilly. A video of Bill from his "Inside Edition" days in the early '90s mouthing off like there was no tomorrow made the YouTube rounds, and everybody including Keith Olbermann of course had quite a field day with it; some even made remixes. I tell you, no wonder why Irish people are known to have tempers!

Simmons and O'Reilly have now joined a long line of people who've made some on-air meltdowns over the years. Former Detroit news anchor Bill Bonds started all this in the early '80s when he went into some R-rated tirades while doing a promo for the 5:00 news (maybe Will Ferrell was taking notes for his Ron Burgundy character), while Alex Trebek was in a cussing spree and drinking a beer (Molson? He's Canadian after all) in between doing "Phone Jeopardy!" promos. Other inductees into the On-Camera Blow-Ups Hall of Fame include Sam Donaldson, Jessica Savitch, Chris Berman, and Bill Plante.

And then of course there's the king of angry on-air blow-ups: Casey Kasem. One time while segueing from an up-tempo song to a "dead dog" dedication on "American Top 40", Casey streamed a river of profanities which he, like Miley Cyrus and that infamous "Vanity Fair" photo, is still embarrassed over that to this day. And way before my time, it was Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis who had fun doing radio spots for their movie "The Caddy" by launching some very raunchy remarks of their own...and this was in 1953!!

Whether you're an anchor, a game show host, or a DJ and you happen to suffer a verbal malfunction on the air, forget about getting your mouth washed out with soap; Clorox seems to be more apt these days! And with that, so long and stay strong.
