again. I made mention my step-niece would be competing against Miss Alabama (Brent Mushburger's girlfriend - Hey! He's old - he ain't dead). Anyway, my wife informs me she is Miss Alabama USA. Mariah Carey (our Miss Iowa) will be competing for Miss *America* Saturday night in Vegas. I've never watched a beauty pageant in my life but I imagine I'll lhave to sit through some of this one. She is actually my niece's step-daughter.. so the fact that we are both pretty is probably coincidence.
