Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

C'mon Washington Post blogsters! It's "sown" not "sewn."

Hopefully someone will figure it out soon.

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

Interview fail: this woman shows up 30 minutes early for her interview here, and is sitting in the reception area, poking away at her Blackberry, which she has not put on mute. So there's lots of beeping from it and sighing from her. This interview is for a very senior position.

I would not hire this woman, but I'm judgmental like that.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

The stuff that happened and happening in Hebron this week made me so sad and angry, and a little bit scared.

Also, since I served in the IDF between 2004-2006, and trained with the forces to evacuate Gaza Strip settlements in the summer of 2005, it's very weird to see forces with weapons and different evacuation technique (not that I believe in those settlements or their so called "right" to be there, but that's another issue. With all of my lefty political opinions, it is very hard, emotionally, to evacuate people from the ground they consider as home).

I love Daniel O'Brien lots.

The X Most Blankiest Somethings in the History of Whatever

So, instead of a) making a bunch of one- or two-itemed lists or b)abandoning the ideas altogether, I’ve decided to just throw them into one stupid article that, (due to its total lack of focus and consistency) not one person will fully enjoy. Call it Early Spring Cleaning, or poorly-conceived, or just general laziness. Whatever. I call it a half-formed excuse to talk about Super President.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The Pret Holiday Lunch sandwich is back. And it is DELICIOUS.

What is it made out of aside from deliciousness?

What is it made out of aside from deliciousness?

Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, baby spinach. Basically Thanksgiving leftovers. It sounds enormous, but everything is spread in very thin and well-balanced layers. Nom nom nom.

Super President was a short-lived cartoon in the late 60's about a US President who has a secret double life as Super President. His superpower is the ability to change his molecular structure and he flies off at night to fight terrorists. It's brilliant in its awfulness.
