The Mormons are on the rise! Mitt Romney is showing good numbers in Florida, and Marie Osmond has just announced that she's going to have a syndicated talk show in 2009. This is not to be confused with earlier talk show "Donny and Marie", which featured her little-bit rock 'n roll brother. Osmond is optimistic and ready for the challenge, saying boldly, naively, stupidly: "You can't lie on TV. It's about talking, communicating, and being part of everyone's lives." Tell that to Mitty!
