Willow ,'End of Days'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just hope no one I care about ever becomes a test case, or a cause celebe. Family tragedies are hard enough without being in the news, or Congress.
Relatedly, last night's Daily Show rerun was the one with Colbert as an ethicist talking about Congress's "separation.....and POWER."
Emily, I don't know if it's too late, but finding statistical correlation is the kind of thing I learned in college, not high school.
The song in my head:
Cat's in the cradle with the silver moon
Little Boy Blue and the man in the moon
When you comin' home, Dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
That song is so sad....
The song in my head:
Not only am I earwormed, I'm also broken. That damn song.
Oh, I know it's nothing new. But I think it's been noticably worse in recent years. Maybe with the current folks in power it's just hitting my buttons more, but I don't think that's all it is.
I'm listening to my iPod (to the band Stereo Total) so no earworm for me.

The whole "Swiftboat Fuckers for Truth" think really upset me - all the claims were blatantly politically motivated, yet the press didn't talk about that. They just kept repeating the accusations, so the coverage confined to stuff like: "He's a lying coward" - "No, he's not."
Paul Krugman has a joke that if the Republicans came out and said the world was flat, and the Democrats responded by saying that wansn't true, the newspaper headlines would read, "The Shape of the World - Two Opposing Views."
Scientific American put their own twist on this for their April 1st issue -- the editorial page was a tongue-in-cheek apology to the right wing, promising to stop favoring things like peer-reviewed scientific studies and to start giving more "fair and balanced" coverage of the issues. Cracked me up.
This is a damned shame:
Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has laughed off reports she's set to star in a movie remake of classic TV drama Dallas. The Welsh Oscar-winner was heavily tipped to play wholesome Pamela Ewing in the series' big screen resurrection, 14 years after the last Dallas episode aired. However, Jones' spokeswoman Sarah Fuller insists frenzied rumours claiming the actress is on the verge of signing to the project are completely false. Fuller says, "Reports regarding Catherine Zeta-Jones being cast in the feature film, Dallas, are incorrect. There have been no discussions regarding this." Jones' Ocean's Twelve co-star Brad Pitt has also been touted to feature in the film, which begins shooting later this year.
