WGN America World Series of Golf Premieres with Jesus Ferguson and January Jones
















Chris "Jesus' Ferguson getting some advice from my friend, Greg, one of my "Be a Smiley...Not a Whiney!" gallery supporting me during the World Series of Golf. Actually Chris confided in me that poker players are much bigger whiners than golfers! Of course that is probably because Chris ("Jesus" to poker players) beats more poker players than golfers. I just watched his latest commercial for Full Tilt Poker. net and he looks like the badest, meanest guy in Veags but he really is such a sweetheart . I loved playing golf with him and hope to interview him soon on my radio show.

World Series of Golf premiered this weekend on WGN America and it was so much fun to finally see the show and watch all the other players do their things while getting in a little promo for my book and radio show. It is reality golf played with real people who are trying to play golf in front of television cameras !!!!!!!! Needless to say, the premise is amusing and somethime even amazing.

The good news for me is that I'm not shown playing golf in the first episode just partying and socializing and that's what I do best. be sure to tune in next weekend for more reality golf.

Also, I wanted to share wity everyone the cutest cartoon that Steve Pollastrini sent with our dear friend, Maxine's mantra on Whining! Thanks so much, Steve!

World Series of Golf fun to watch!

World Series of Golf Danny Negreanu and K. J. Fohannesen on WGN America Saturday July 11th 1 pm EST


















Danny Negreanu who is the sweetest guy in the world even when he's taking you down and January along with fellow golfer Norwegian 3rd Place Winner K. J. Fohannesen! Even though, K. J. and January traded hats K. J. did not make that putt!

January Jones will be playing in the World Series of Golf to be televised this week on WGN America in a golf and poker format with a top prize of $300,000. This event is a reality golf competition that was played earlier this year at The Pauite Resort in Las Vegas. It will be aired in 13 weekly episodes starting on Saturday, July 11th at 1:00 am EST.

Ms. Jones was 1 of 2 women in a field of 125 players. Her goal was to represent women golfers and all "chronologically challenged competitors" who love to play in the game of life as well as golf. Professional golf instructor, Roger Gunn, helped her to train and prepare for the tournament. He accompanied January to Las Vegas as her financial advisor and caddy during the competition.

To quote January, "Every woman alive, who plays golf knows it's not about how you play or perform but what you wear and how you handle winning or losing. Just ask, Susan Boyle!"

Ms. Jones will be playing in a field that includes top-flight golfers, entertainers such as actor Ray Romano, poker players and athletes including Future Hall of Fame pitcher, Greg Maddux. Ms. Jones played in a five-some that included Poker Superstars, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Danny Negreanu and Andy Bloch all with eyes on the top prize.

January was sponsored by Taylor Made–adidas Golf who graciously supplied her with golf clubs, clothes and shoes with her signature colors of red, yellow and black. These are the colors on the cover of her recent book, Thou Shalt Not Whine…The Eleventh Commandment published by Beaufort Books that reached a #1 ranking at amazon.com.

Ms. Jones is the national spokesperson for Yar Golf who have customized a special version of their revolutionary GX1 putter designed for adaptive golf. The GX1 putter retrieves your ball from inside the hole without your having to bend down.

Golf is a topic that is thoroughly discussed during the "Tee Time Talk" segments on her radio show "Whine Time with January Jones" live on voiceamerica.com every Thursday at 9 am PDT with LIVE call in.

Ed Freeman Medal of Honor Recipient RIP June 25th 2009

Ed Freeman

You're a 19-year-old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley, 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam. Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.

You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you're not getting out. Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.

Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter and you look up to see an unarmed Huey, but it doesn't seem real because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.

Ed Freeman is coming for you. He's not Medi-Vac, so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.

He's coming anyway.

And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.

Then he flies you up and out, through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses.

And he kept coming back, 13 more times, and took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.

Medal of Honor Recipient Ed Freeman died on Wednesday, June 25th, 2009, at the age of 80, in Boise, ID. May God rest his soul.

Medal of Honor Winner Ed Freeman!
Since the media didn't give him the coverage he deserves, send this to every red-blooded American you know.

THANKS AGAIN, ED, FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR OUR COUNTRY.
RIP

"Believe It or Not" with Ripley's Tim O'Brien Buckeye



Be sure to Tune In, Tune On and Tune Up with me tomorrow morning when I interview Tim O'Brien from Ripley's Entertainment.

Tim is an Ohio State Buckeye and has been to over 600 amusement parks and has been on over 400 roller coasters! He will reveal his favorite roller coaster and tell us all about the world's largest "hairball" amongst other odd and freakish facts from their museums and amusement parks.

You'll hear from Tim all about this fascinating empire that was created by LeRoy Ripley and continues to this day all over the world with wonderful vacations that are affordable and close to home.

Ripleys has created a new word that I love and it is called "Daycations." Instead of long, expensive "Staycations" you can now go on line www.ripleys.com and plan an inexpensive one day outing during the summer and with what you save you can then plan another trip for your family!

Be sure to listen to our show .....Tim is a real hoot and it's not even football season!

Sarah Palin Whiner of The Week video U-Date!














I'm not the only one to name Sarah Palin the Whiner of The Week.

BE sure to watch this great video from newsy.com

Sarah Palin Whiner of The Week from January jones

It was very easy to select Governor Sarah Palin as The Whiner of The Week!

Palin's Pathos by Steve Chapman Minority of One

July 6, 2009 3:41 pm

Even if she regards the news media as a mob of hyenas, I can almost feel sorry for Sarah Palin. I suspect it's hard to imagine how intensely exposed a person feels when she goes from being an obscure governor to a household name in the blink of an eye. And I can hardly blame her for wanting to escape the ceaseless scrutiny that goes with her fame and possible ambitions. Palin didn't ask to be nominated for vice president, and it wasn't really her fault that in a presidential campaign, she was in way over her head.

But she seems to think she's the only national candidate who ever got run through a brutal media gauntlet. She isn't. Ask Dan Quayle, Tom Eagleton, or Geraldine Ferraro. Gary Hart had reporters staking out his house to catch him in adultery. Joe Biden's 1988 presidential race got torpedoed by news revelations about a variety of embarrassing misdeeds. John Edwards had The National Enquirer lying in ambush this year, long after his race was over.

If you run for high office, you can expect every aspect of your life to be examined. And if there are things you'd rather keep to yourself, you're in the wrong place. Or, as Harry Truman put it, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

It was hardly a surprise that an inexperienced Alaskan politician would not be skilled with questions about foreign affairs and federal policy. Palin's greater failing was refusing to admit that she had a lot to learn--or, evidently, doing anything to overcome her weaknesses. Instead, she made herself out to be an innocent victim of a partisan press. In doing that, she looked not just underprepared but dishonest.

Many Republicans liked her because they saw her as what she claimed to be--a fighter. But her resignation brings to mind a boxer named Roberto Duran, whose chief claim to fame is that he abruptly halted a title fight that, to his surprise, he was losing. "No mas," he reportedly said. It was a surprise ending--almost as big a surprise as Palin's.

Michael Jackson Fans Cure for Dying without Whining!

Phoenix, AZ July 1, 2009 – Recently there has been an epidemic of celebrities dying followed by massive outbursts of whining from their fans. It started with the beloved Ed McMahon's expected demise, followed by Farrah Fawcetts untimely passing and then the unexpected death of Michael Jackson. These deaths have been followed with sadness and whining from their fans, especially so with the passing of The King of Pop!
January Jones, the author, of Thou Shalt Not Whine…The Eleventh Commandment addresses this phenomena in her recently published book and on her weekly radio show, Whine Time with January Jones on www.voiceamerica.com

Ms. Jones' "Dying without Whining Cure" from her tome could be the solution for many bereaved and inconsolable fans of Michael Jackson.

She states that even though it may seem morbid, "To initiate this healing, try to think of all the things you will never have to do again once you are dead" You will be surprised at how long a list it will be. "Things like standing in line, dealing with in-laws, and worrying about money are popular choices"

To quote Ms. Jones, "You can also add dying to this list since it's also something you'll never have to do again once it's done"

Hopefully, the many bereaved fans will find consolation in the knowledge that their beloved Icon, Michael Jackson, could be on the ultimate adventure in his own eternal Neverland!

January Jones hopes to help the bereaved fans discover how to heal by focusing on doing all the healthy and sometimes silly things their inner child needs to do now…………… things that they've put off for far too long!
