Donald Trump has fended off baldness at wrestling tentpole pay per view Wrestlemania 23.
WWE boss Vince McMahon lost the Battle Of The Billionaires match and thus his hair when his ridiculously large steed Umega was felled by first the guest referee Steve Austin then his opponent Bobby Lashy.
Overall the match was marred by introduction of a second referee, use of a steel bin and Trump’s acting.
Trump was even called upon to do some wrestling, clothes-lining McMahon and later receiving a stunner from Stone Cold Steve Austin, neither terribly convincing, proving perhaps he should stick to yelling tasks at sycophants in The Apprentice.
Congratulations to Rove and the crew with last nights first show back pulling close to 1.7 million nationally, with 520,000 in Melbourne. Amazing figures.
I saw bits. It still just seemed like Rove to me, maybe a little less polished because of the time off.
What did other people think?
This week featuring brass big band backing!!
Epsidoe 79 – So fresh and crispy we had to deliver it a full day early.
And what a show. This week we chortle over the new Eddie Izzard comedy The Riches, we reveal who said what to who with Quotes from the upcoming Amazing Race All Stars, we have a bit of a kick of the footy, and we bank some cliches in I Don’t Buy It. Plus we read the news and pork the pork.
More fun than a talking parrot doll.

Regular listeners will know I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to computers, so it is quite a concern that I seem to have a better grasp of the broadband problems than the Communications minister.
Last night Coonan huffed and puffed her way through Lateline, in a condescending and patronising manner, attacking Labor’s new broadband initiative.
Her main arguments seemed to be that if Labor’s plan would eventually run at a profit, it shouldn’t need any initial investment (an argument proving she has as good a grasp of business as she does of everything else) and that the government are committed to providing the bush with the same level of service metro enjoys.
What’s that 256? 512?
We are falling dangerously behind the developed world on this. A study highlighted in The Age showed in Paris for the equivalent of $50 Australian they get 24Mbps, unlimited downloads, unlimited VOIP calls within France and 100 TV channels coming in through the internet.
And it is not just for entertainment purposes. The lack of a world class broadband service will start to effect the way we do business, the economy, everything.
Nobody is suggesting the bush doesn’t need broadband. That is not the issue here. And I know we have a vast, somewhat isolated country and that there are complex problems which need to be overcome. So overcome them. Just sitting around saying there are problems and doing nothing won’t help. Neither will Telstra and the government just blaming each other.
It is heading towards as big a stuff up as digital TV. Only this matters even more.
Be interesting to see what sort of influence youtube has on the upcoming US presidential elections. Somebody has already repackaged Ridley Scott’s seminal 1984 Apple Mac ad (and Planet Express ad) into a new anti Hilary version.
Ah, episode 77. Full of … stuff. Lots to hear, not so much to learn.
This week we have a Things You May Have Missed Life On Mars, two, count ‘em two I Don’t Buy Its, News, Ratings, Pork and a Raywatch (although frankly I don’t think the Raywatch has leg to stand on).
Enjoy

Rumours are circulating on the net that Veronica Mars has been cancelled.
It’s not entirely unexpected given the show only just survived the chop last year, then had this season’s order cut by 4 episodes.
Still it is bound to upset the small but dedicate army of fans. I guess we will never find out how Veronica did at the FBI academy.
The last few episode screen in the states in May (while Channel 10 has slotted them in for 2236).
So is it a new series of Futurama episodes or 4 straight to dvd movies? One and the same. All is revealed in this Matt Groening interview.
The 4 movies 90 minute movies will be reconfigured into 16 episodes. That’s bound to work.
Oh well, new Futurama is new Futurama.
