Thanks to all the visitors of Blogging Anderson Cooper, we appreciate your input! Some of your comments reminded me not to forget Freakspeakers. For all the media literacy preaching Christiane still can't learn to use a spell-check. After hysterical ups and downs of Sharla Dawn Jones, don't you love it when Freaks complain that for fangirls "it's the messenger, not the message", "We also have stated and critiqued how people just watch CNN to see Anderson Cooper, not news. How his presence ... have become the "noise" to the message, diminishing the content, and somehow even himself becoming the content...". I waited for the next lesson in media.
It came two days later -- Christiane posted 73 (!) scereencaps of the Coop talking with the serious tv & radio show host Ryan Seacrest. Those 3 posts didn't tell me anything about the message in that radio show, but maybe it’s best to leave us guessing. I imagine they had enough airtime to go into in details about who's tie is bigger.
ATA soon proved Christiane is just spewing hatred towards anderfans. Forget the message and the messenger. Frau Phebe went great lengths to pay our attention to the important part of war coverage: the insects! And of course, the screencaps:
"I’m a terrible person, I admit it. I couldn't stop watching that damn fly that kept landing on Michael Gordon’s face, while he was trying to discuss security in Iraq. I circled the fly in red but it's kinda hard to see.I had to relisten to the interview from my recording because I got nothing out of it the first time around. All I could watch was the fly!"

Fit or Fat?
Fans of Anderson Cooper often make me hungry. When it comes to Anderson everything is so yummy! "Anderson is so yummy", "yummy yum yum", his "yummy lips", his clothing -- "yummy polo", "yummy flannel shirts", "Anderson wearing suits.... yummy", his images -- "yummy pics","inserting yummy screencap", "yummy photos", etc. The only other yummy thing many anderfans love as much is cheese. Some of them are very generous to share it with cyber-friends and the humanity.
Be careful not to to gain a few pounds, we are presenting Our Moment of Cheese!

Kissing Anderson Cooper in public
This can only happen in blogger's dreams!
The other day I was strolling around Westhampton when I saw a familiar tail. A celebrity by adoption and by her own right.
Only the speculation of Anderson Cooper's significant other tops the inquiries of this magnificent female. Long silky hair frames her freckled face. Her alert eyes have witness her master's deepest secrets.
So what is better than interviewing each and every single employee from Time Warner in order to gain access to the main man, than to interview the only living bitch that have kissed Anderson Cooper in public!
How it all went down:
Lunacy: It's that Molly? THE Molly?
Handler: Well yes, did she do something?
Lunacy: NO! she is the cutest, do you mind if I interview her for my blog?
Handler: ????
Lunacy: hate to flaunt it, but I speak dog
Handler: looking at Molly while she wags her tail, Ok.
Lunacy: Hi Molly you little cutie pie!
Molly: Wh'st up bitch!
Lunacy: enjoying your summer?
Molly: are you on crack? don't you see I'm tied up! I'm a slave!
Lunacy: sorry to hear that, but at least you are here and not in the pound, and living with a Vanderbilt
Molly: that is soooo overrated. It's not like I live at The Breakers or Marble House.
Lunacy: is that so? are you aware you are the only female that have kissed Anderson Cooper in public.
Molly: I'm his only bitch, and it better stay this way
Lunacy: What is the first thing your daddy does when he arrives home?
Molly: takes off his shoes
Lunacy: and what do you do?
Molly: sniff him!
Lunacy: sniff him?
Molly: Love to put my head on his knees and sniff, sniff, sniff!
Lunacy: excuse me?
Molly: - rolling eyes - I'm not a gorilla to settle for sniffing armpits, I'm happy I can get as close to private parts as no one else!
Lunacy: You mean, that is nuts!
Molly: and I lick his toes, envy much?
Lunacy: can't comment, but I can imagine a lot of people out there who are
Molly: PLEEEZE BITCH! don't go there!
Lunacy: why?
Molly: you have no idea how many crazies I have had to chase and bite to keep out of the house. At least I like the teddy bears. Daddy lets me hump them.
Lunacy: what's the least thing you enjoy living with Anderson Cooper
Molly: the dutch oven
Lunacy: Dutch Oven?
Molly: I sleep under the sheets ... it ain't pretty!
Lunacy: OH! THAT DUTCH OVEN! poor baby... have you witness any "action" over there
Molly: action, action, nah. Well, he's a guy, what action can there be when he's always alone
Lunacy: that's sad I though he would have a more interesting sex life
Molly: me too, wink!, wink!
Lunacy: do you know what is a blog?
Molly: hmmm yes, I like to read blogs when I see my name, but daddy says it's not good for me.
Lunacy: I have one and would love you to write in it
Molly: Dude! I'm a dog!
Lunacy: I know, but I can write the transcripts of your barks... and sign Molly Barks
Molly: I have to ask daddy, he really doesn't like us to get involved
Lunacy - looking at the handler -
Molly- wagging her tail -
Lunacy: WELCOME TO THE BLOG WORLD!
Some of you may not believe in Lunacy story, and say that Molly Barks is a real person and not THE Molly. Whatever the case is, I can tell you for sure -she's a real Bitch!
Believe it or Not?
I want to thank everybody who visited and commented, I'm very flattered by the reaction. In barely 4 hours of our existence we got more responses then hysteria induced missionary blog Anderson Cooper 360 Review. You won't even see crickets and spiders there. ATA is well ahead of the game. How do you get as many comments daily as they do? Let's do a little math. Multiply 6 mods by 3 comments. On a good day a mod at ata comments at least 3 times a post, and we get a staggering 24 comments! This is all made up by quality. We will be presenting some of anderfans brilliance in the Blogger Quotables.
"You are right, we should respect his privacy. I only wish I knew if he was circumcised or not..." by Peter
"You know it wasn't fair to put the two things I am most attracted to together: Andy Baby and a puppy!!" by Cha cha
"I really am not interested in Walter (Cronkite), so I just stared at Anderson and watched how he reacted to him and stuff" by Lynne
"My mother instincts have kicked in. I feel like a mama duck defending her baby duck against a whole horde of snakes in this particular instance. That's pretty much how Anderson strikes me- someone that needs protecting." by Newsjunkie

Blogging Anderson Cooper is born!
We are excited to present Blogging Anderson Cooper! Some may ask -- one more blog about Anderson? No need to complain -- there were some memorable blogs that closed or lost their steam, it’s only fair something will emerge in their place. To those who can't have enough blogs with Anderson's name in the title - hope you enjoy the ride with us! To all of you I promise an experience different from all other blogs about Anderson Cooper.
First of all I have to thank Jameson Ellis- bandmate of Cooper’s half-brother Stan and The East Hampton Star that inspired us. It’s a true phenomenon when Hundreds of people were signing on,.. “We got all these weird requests from freakish fans of Anderson Cooper,” after All Things Anderson discovered that Stan is in a band and shared with everybody all the details they could dig up. Why make their idol’s relative who did no harm “ wincing at the unasked-for attention” you ask. “It’s just one more piece of the celebrity anchor for a fan to pull in to complete his bio.” “Mr. Cooper became something of a hero to many for his emotive coverage of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, but this blog seems less concerned with his merits as a journalist than with his fine cheekbones and striking blue eyes and white hair.”
All Things Anderson didn't have anything to say in response, but ATA mod Phebe had plenty to say in a special post responding to some critical comment on ATA: " If you want to air your opinion why not start your own blog? Maybe you’ll enjoy devoting hours and hours of unpaid time to it, only to be told your wrong by someone who doesn’t even sign their name." Your wish is my command!
Please don’t get me wrong. I’m a regular guy, who is more concerned with the well-being of my cojones then hearings in Congress or elections in Burma. However, as a normal person who is aware that the end of my block is not the end of the world, I watch news and love internet. Maybe that’s old school or “a guy thing” but for me tv news can’t be hard enough. The rest I can find on beloved ET and Showbiz Tonight, and of course countless blogs. Lately I find the news shows blur it all more and more, what worries me was pinned by Worldnetdaily.com: “The many females manning the front desks on cable, Y chromosome carriers included, do their daily bit to entrench a shift from hard to soft-news stories.” Anderson’s loyal fans turned bloggers are doing their best.
We decided we want to practice our freedom of speech, as fan and gossip blogs claim to do, and many believe blogs are the new media. I noticed that Cooper’s fan blogs love to read what media watchdogs say about the Coop or his show. We thought they might love to have their own watchdog, and god knows, anderworld needs one! I welcome my partner in Blogging, a naturally born watchdog Molly Barks!
Come to have fun, share your thoughts and stories, excitement and disgust. Let’s roll!
