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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The neighborhood where I work is God's Socialite Waiting Room.

I just saw an inbred, overcoiffed, octegenarian in gauchos.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of the new TSA rules, apparently it really has to be a quart-sized ziploc bag. msbelle's mother got grief for having her stuff in a sandwich bag. I shit you not.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Seriously? Because that's beyond fucked-up.

I swear, it's a profit-making plot concocted by aquafina and ziploc.

I mean, that would at least make sense, now wouldn't it?!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From a NYT article on Woodward's book:

And he suggests that President Bush chose Mr. Rumsfeld as his defense secretary, in part, because he knew his father mistrusted Mr. Rumsfeld, and the younger Bush wanted to prove his father wrong.

Nice.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I am absolutely unsurprised by that.

Yo.

I don't think it was actually a problem, and was, I'm sure, just caused by a dim-bulb employee who got a memo that said "quart sized ziploc," and not any actual policy, but yeah.

Is it just me, or will this show be highly annoying?

Hollywood Reporter notes a new comedy television pilot ("Genius Bar") that has been given the go ahead by CBS.

... the project explores the interactions between people who work at a place similar to the Genius Bar at the Apple stores and the cool, hip and beautiful employees at a nearby Abercrombie & Fitch-type store.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think it will probably be annoying, just because it's a contemporary American sit-com, and so few of them aren't. I don't see anything necessarily wrong with the concept.
