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.
Meanwhile, Santos looks a lot like actor Jimmy Smits, who for years played police detective Bobby Simone on "NYPD Blue." Simone was strength and compassion incarnate.
Wait, that's not Jimmy Smits? Wow. I've only seen the commercials, but I totally thought it was him.
It is, just like Vinick is played by Alan Alda. Last Sunday's ep mentioned that "the Trib" endorsed Santos, thus giving him a boost in the polls in Illinois and putting the state into play (as the editorial says, this isn't quite realistic, since IL hasn't been Repub-leaning in decades), so they decided to pen an "actual" endorsement of him now that the show has given him one from the paper.
Oh, dude, I didn't read carefully enough - I thought they were talking about the actor by that point in the story.
I do miss Colbert on This Week In God, though. Rob Corddry has stepped up, but its still not as good.
I agree that Colbert was better than Corddry, but I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite host of the God segment between Colbert and Joe Bob Briggs.
when a Midwestern newspaper--memory fails us as to which one
BWAH! That's pretty funny.
it was the biggest moment in the history of imaginary news since 1948, when a Midwestern newspaper--memory fails us as to which one--reported that Thomas E. Dewey had defeated President Harry Truman.
CUTE.
That's what EVERYBODY calls it, right?
You'd think, but our TiVo and the Chronicle TV listings are constantly getting it wrong. What-EV.
Msbelle! I got the star wars/BK thingies! You rock.
The Patriot Act actions have their downside. One analysis says that Republicans are happy to let Democrats have their way in letting the Act lapse so that the Republicans can say at election time "These people don't want you to be secure!"
