Cool...I read somewhere when Simon met Burns he was at the library with all these heavy books,and the first thing DS said to him was "Tell the truth...you're not really a cop, are you?" Burns' reply was not really recorded, but knowing what I know about murder po-lice sensibilities, I expect it'd get bleeped outside HBO. But somehow, life-changing partnership.Corwood, bunk, if you could live with yourself, you could almost call the WH press office and claim the replacement for "Stay the Course" with that tag. Joe Hoople would probably dig it.

Ironically, given who he's named for, John Rawls would go far in the Bush Administration.

hey...don't usually do this, but thought you'd laugh. And we're all heng mai right?(crosses fingers) [link] It's a filk of My Favorite Things. ETA: Bet Simon named him and laughed and laughed, Corwood.

Nice!

Thanks...I guess the monkey laudanum's been doing its job, right?

Tasty!

Rats. I come back for some discussion about shows, and it is all about who is a hottie.

Ok, extra points for putting Smooth Lester in the hottie category. But, still.

Lester is a hero of a human being. That's sexy, right? There was nothing new last week, bunk. Discussion of the foamy tends to fill an off week.

'Kay.

I am working my way though my Wire backlog. At this point, I am nostalgic for S2, which had a lot of stuff to say about a lot of stuff.

I am on to this season having something to say about education, but I wish they would get on with the saying of it.

I think losing George P. this year cost them pace-wise...man's got a gift for being snappy that the literary spouse, god bless him, hasn't got.(By which I mean David Simon, Mr. Detail, of course. And I love them. But.) Wow, I think that was substantive. Check it.)
